Your favourite, twin-tail, grade-A zettai ryouiki tsundere, Tohsaka Rin, looking all badass in the Unlimited Blade Works route.
More like grade S zettai ryouiki!
This is just the first of a long series of post-unboxing, backlogged TYPE-MOON figure reviews. After moving to my new place, I set up a nice corner of the room for figure photography and took a bunch of review-style photo sets of figures as I re-unboxed them. Most of these figures are second hand, B/B grade, so keep that in mind when going through the photos.

All the parts laid out – Gilgamesh would be interested
There are some little holes where you are supposed to stick the swords
Underneath, you see the blocks for the sword slots
Rin’s Azoth Sword, a Mystic Code in the form of a dagger, handed down to her indirectly from her late father
Like with GSC’s other sword/daggers/weapons with a handle, pop off the end cap of the handle to attach to hand
Rin’s alternate hand holding her signature prana jewels used for offensive spells (i.e. “magic missiles”)
Rin’s other alternat hand holds the family pendant that Rin used to revive Shirou during the start of Fate/stay night
Lets take a *cough* closer look…
That delicious zettai ryouiki…
The feet joins with the base through a long metal pole. Felt a bit wobbly but does the job
Swords just stick into the tiny slots. They’re also a loose fit and easily falls out if you don’t stick them in deep enough. That said, sticking them in too hard will result in paint transfers, so be gentle.
Rin, with base, holding her pendant
Right hand holding the Azoth Sword instead of the pendant
I settled with pendant + jewels
Here’s the original artwork which the figure is based on:
Tohsaka Rin, the classical example of tsundere
Have to include a pic of loli Rin from Fate/Zero
