Fate/stay night Toricore! Collection Vol. 1 Set

Product Information/Specifications

Introduction

When I first saw these Fate/stay night Toricore! trading figurines, I thought they looked cute.  I got a set from J-Hobby a couple of months after they were released & just before volume two was about to come out.

Currently, I don't have these trading figurines out of their packaging.  I don't have the space for them & I'm thinking of putting them in a display case.

Some of the pictures aren't clear & good.  If I have time, I'll redo the bad ones & repost them.

The Review

Fate/stay night Toricore! Vol. 1 trading figurine package

There are six trading figurines in this set.  The sixth one is a variation than a secret.  The girls in the set are Saber, Rin Tohsaka, Sakura Matou, Ilyasviel von Einzbern, & Rider.  The variation figurine is Rider without her eyemask as indicated on the box.  Although I haven't got these out of their bags yet, they look simple to assemble.  Put their heads on their body & then to the base.  Don't know how easy it is to put them together & their stability.  Below is a pic of the actual Rider variation.

As you can see, these Toricore! trading figures have big heads & skinny bodies.  Pretty much SD format.  Using variation Rider, her face looks too cute & plain.  I don't know how to describe it really.  It's not something I like or really hate.  It's really looks dull.

Overall Conclusion

The Fate/stay night Toricore! Vol. 1 trading figurines is really a hit or miss.  It's not something you will go dying for.  Currently, I can't really grade them since they are still in packaging.  I'll redo this review when I have them out.

Personally, I don't think Fate fans should get this set even if they are hardcore ones.  Even with volume two out with different characters & style, I won't go for either of them.  If you want to get this set, it's hard to find them now.  However, there are a lot of bootlegs of these trading figurines available at very low prices.  So I suggest that you should research the sellers before buying from them.  Price wise, there are pretty much lower than the suggested Japanese retail price now.
