Keripo's Corner Figures, Dollfies, Projects, Gaming, and TYPE-MOON
Been spending most of my free time playing Blade & Soul lately as well as setting up my new desktop, but the queues are forever, so here’s another TYPE-MOON figure review! Today is the gentle kohai/perfect housewife, Matou Sakura, in her battle outfit
How the hell did I end up so low on the popularity ranking polls? Saber!?!?!?
This is just the one 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.

The box. Same style as the Saber Alter figure I reviewed earlier.
Two alternate faces and a removable skirt
Boring pink base ;(
Connects to the feet via simple pegs
Plain pantsu
Plain pink skirt. Wasn’t as impressively painted as the Saber Alter
“Battlesuit” top, featuring her normal home outfit with a left arm from Dark Sakura
A random ribbon(?) that comes out from the Dark Sakura left arm
It connects via a small losely-fitting slot. For my figure, the ribbon keeps falling out but my friends stays snugly in, so your mileage may vary
The two heads. I have to say, even angry Sakura doesn’t look all that angry… (Dark Sakura, on the other hand, is at a completely different level)
All together!
Sempaiiii!!!
Oh, nothing, just wanted to say Sempai ^_^
With her box
The battlesuit outfit doesn’t actually exist in the Fate/hollow ataraxia visual novel, but apparently it was drawn in some other official artwork, such as for this phone card
Here’s an actual CG from Fate/hollow ataraxia of Sakura being gentle
Here’s another of Sakura being cute and clueless
Of course, you can’t show a CG of Sakura eating something without following up with Sakurafish
Personally, I prefer the Suzuka version
