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
Spoiler (Click to view)
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
