I just receive the payment request for my nendoroid Fate from HLJ, so I'll take a few pics of it when I have it, with a better camera I hope, this time.
Unfortunately, I think both Nendo's are discontinued for the time being, maybe they'll release another batch in a few months ?
I'm waiting for Alter's Fate movie version, and Vivio's preordered (the question is : will I have enough space for it ?).
As for ferret Yunno, he mysteriously "disappeared", maybe aliens kidnapped him ? XD (Actually I put it in the box where I put all the options and extra parts of all my figures and gunplas).
I put Arf with Fate and Nanoha because I like Arf, and wolf are my favourite animal (and dogs too !).
@langrisser. Lovely collection~ Nendo Fate is adorable :3
I would certainly love to own as many MGLN figs as you. Though since I've gotten a bit late into the fandom, it may take some time.
Thanks for the compliment, I'm proud of my NanoFate collection, as much as my gunpla collection. (^_^)
It took me a few years and a bit of luck for some of the figs though.
MGLN seems to be really popular in the various figures company, especially Fate and Nanoha figs are regularly released.
You're very welcome~
I have a little figurine collection of my own but, nothing MGLN related yet (have yet to choose which Gundam will be my first too ;_;). There are many promising releases available since the movie so there is still hope for the late buyers!
Yup ! thanks to the movie, there's a lot of promising figures planned, I've seen that the Fate movie figures by Alter will maybe be released on July like the Vivio one, but there's no preorder available for it now this figurine will sell like hotcake.
(I know it's hard to choose a first gunpla, there's too many of it, but I recommend the Master Grade version (very good in every aspect), my big favourite are the Freedom and the Ex-S).
Alter move Fate was finally painted. And she looks beautiful. <3

Now, all we need is a release date for this nice fig.
Great News ! Alter's Fate the Movie First fig is available to preorder !
here's a link: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10121743 (personally, I'll wait for HLJ to have it on preorder, I have my habits to order from this site, but it shouldn't be long before it's also available to preorder at HLJ)
Apparently it'll be released in November, but grab it while it's hot !
Should order from Hobbysearch, Langrisser.
Half-ohh shipping which is quite a deal considering Japanese shipping rates. Unless the shipping is cheaper where you live.
But yes, amazing figure. : D
I'll wait for HLJ preorder so that I can compare their price, they usually have an "early bird" reduction on the figure price if you preorder, while what you'll gain in shipping charges depends on the total weight of the item which is still unknow for now.
Shipping isn't really cheaper than in the US, but in France, custom charges aren't cheap at all, so what I'll gain in shipping charges, I'll loose it in custom taxes.
Well the figured larger than Shin Sonic Fate, so you'll be looking at a 60$ (give or take a few) shipping charge. So you'll be saving 30bucks right there. Well, Hobbysearch still should have it in stock in the event HLJ turns out to be more expensive...Though it is ranked #1 best-seller on their site atm, so the stock might not last long.
Fate figures tend to sell extremely fast, by my personal experience, two weeks tops, and it will out of stock everywhere.
I think Movie Fate will weigh a bit less than Shin Fate, so it will cost a bit less than Shin Fate, but I'll keep my estimate at 60-70$ in shipping cost in EMS, grossly 45-55€ for me; SAL is out of the question (too expensive for SAL anyway), and FEDEX will probably cost a bit more. With her Zamber equipped, Shin Fate is larger than Movie Fate, I had difficulties to put her in place with it.
Movie Fate is:
Height: approx 420mm.
Full length: approx 550mm.
Shin Sonic:
Height approx 350mm
Full Length: 600mm
True, Shin Sonic is a little longer, but the height difference is rather large between the two.
Loli Fate might be lighter, but keep in mind she comes with three sets of device forms, as well as a stand to place those devices while not using them. As well as a pair of interchangeable arms.
I think it'll weigh at minimum 1500g, probably more around 1600/1700g.
For me, height isn't really an issue, it's the lenght that can be problematic.
Weight Issue aside, this Fate fig is impressive.
Btw, I receive the payment request for my Alter Vivio fig, so expect some pics when I'll receive her next week !
I receive Alter's Vivio today, you'll find pics on my gallery at nanofate.us.
Haven't been around much.
There's been floods of new Nanoha figures lately. Of course everyone knows about the Fate from Alter:
Some of the more recently announced are the Actsta Nanoha
The figma Caro(just debuted at wonfes)
And figma Erio(also debuted at wonfes, should come after caro)
A nanoha petit nendoroid with her new cannon(to be released next year bundled with nanoha force vol. 3 manga)
I've already preordered mine.
Vivio petit nendoroid(co-release with nanoha nendoroid, bundled with Vivid vol. 3)
Fate Shin Sonic form re-release has just gone up on hobbysearch and amiami. Get her while she's hot!
It's a good thing I picked up Nanoha on her first release.
Punynari collected the new Banpresto Movie 1st Fate and Nanoha "Ichiban Kuji" edition figures and has posted reviews about them on his blog:
