List of Fate Series Nendoroids

#885 Saber of "Red"

This figurine is a Nendoroid of the Red Faction's vengeful Saber Servant in the setting of Fate/Apocrypha.

Her true name is Mordred. She was birthed by the sorceress Morgan le Fay with her sister Saber/Altria's seed from the period she was turned into a man by Merlin. In effect, Mordred is just Altria's full copy, a homunculus, and as such she is told to always wear a full-face helmet. Haughty, she tried her best to become an ideal knight while trying to converse with Altria like her father, but Altria denied her succession leading Mordred to believe that was because her mother was Morgan. Unfortunately, Mordred was a participant in many of her mother's intrigues and a tragic victim of her magic and manipulation. Ultimately, a rebel and patricide denied as much as a handshake of her father, who explained Mordred simply never had what it took to be king.

Nendoroid Fate/Apocrypha Saber of Red	#885
Price	US $56.99
Release Date	August 2018
Sculptor	toytec D.T.C
Cooperation	Nendoron
Height (approximate)	100 mm (3.9")

Additional Parts

Saber of "Red" comes bundled with three face plates that express a bold smile, an angry shout, or an embarrassed expression. The powerful face plates show off her personality very well and she is a very prideful person who believes she is strong and the best. Fans are able to enjoy a different side of Mordred with the shy and embarrassed expression that she would normally not show. She also has her unique sword, the "Radiant Kingsword" (dubbed Clarent), and its Noble Phantasm state, or the "Rebellion to My Brilliant Father" (Clarent: Blood Arthur). Mordred's helmet, the "Helm of Hidden Infidelity" (Secret of Pedigree), and the corresponding chest piece part are also in the kit for that menacing look. She is able to be displayed while wearing the helmet to display a powerful presence that she always boasts about.

#904 Archer/Ishtar

This elegant Nendoroid recreates the goddess Ishtar as Archer in Fate/Grand Order.

Ishtar is a Pseudo-Servant possessing Rin Tohsaka’s body, and the goddess of beauty, fertility, war, lust, and discord for Sumerians. She is a very spoiled and loved goddess who is known to be whimsy with many lovers both human and deities. A figure in many folk tales, generally mischievous. Personality-wise, Ishtar is probably best described as "unhinged", as quick to full-on love as full-on cruelty, haughty, and controlling. She proposed to the heroic Gilgamesh once, but he rejected her exactly because he knew how she was, and sure enough, she nearly wiped humanity out in rage.

Of course, it is implied that Rin had a very similar mindset for the summoning to work. However, Rin is a much better person — patient, respectful, and hardworking, which is reflected in this incarnation of Ishtar, making her better aspects prominent. Ishtar is originally both compassionate and cruel but due to the personality of Rin, the good parts of the goddess appear while the cruelty has been hidden in the bottom of her heart. While they have some similarities where they both are intelligent, prideful, and willful however the strong personality of Rin shows.

Price	US $69.99
Release Date	October 2018
Sculptor	toytec D.T.C
Cooperation	Nendoron
Height (approximate)	100 mm (3.9")

Additional Parts

The swappable facial expressions of Archer/Ishtar are her usual confident smile, an expression of a goddess exerting Her will, and a flustered sidelong glance. Fans are able to enjoy the expressions of the prideful and alluring goddess as well as an unusually shy expression of the goddess. Her hyper-ornate and enormous Noble Phantasm "Maanna" is also available, and with the plentiful spell effects and posing spare parts, you can recreate many of the original series scenes centered on her. Thanks to the stand, Ishtar can be displayed as though she is floating in mid-air like the powerful goddess she is. The alternate arm and leg parts allow for a sitting pose in which she can be displayed “sitting” in the air or on her large bow.

When purchased at the online store, this Nendoroid comes with a bonus Mana Burst (Gems).

#936 Saber/Miyamoto Musashi

The dedicated duelist Miyamoto Musashi comes alive as Saber in Fate/Grand Order, and in Nendoroid form with this figurine.

In his life in our world, Shinmen Musashi no Kami Fujiwara no Harunobu was known to only love one thing, and it is bloodshed. His youth was all about challenging martial artists and winning, and he won a name for himself. Saber, however, was disowned as a girl who could not inherit a dōjō, so she built a hut for herself facing her father's house. Shinmen is flashy and happy-go-lucky. She loves slashing, loving, and getting praise, and is very happy to learn that this world's Musashi is that well-known. Musashi is cheerful and merely enjoying life as it is.

Nendoroid Fate/Grand Order Saber/Miyamoto Musashi	#936
Price	US $56.99
Release Date	October 2018
Sculptor	Shichibee
Cooperation	Nendoron
Height (approximate)	100 mm (3.9")

Additional Parts

Saber/Miyamoto Musashi has three face plates that allow her to smile confidently, emit a formidable war cry, or lose herself in smiles on the sight of something she really likes — or eating something she likes; say, the bowl of udon that also comes bundled along with a set of chopsticks. Shinmen's twin swords, the Fire Blade, and the Water Blade are available each sheathed or drawn.

Moreover, there is a set of stylish transparent catchphrase signs from the famous scenes of "The Tournament of the Seven Blademaster Heroic Spirits" with phrases such as "Now, to the usual" (いざ尋常に), "A duel!" (勝負!!), "It is over" (勝負あり), "Karmic Slash" (宿業両断).

#970 Caster/Merlin

This figurine is a Nendoroid rendition of Merlin, a great mage and Caster Servant in Fate/Grand Order.

Merlin, the immortal Magus of Flowers, the King Maker, and many more names. A sage, a prophet, a guide, a tormentor, an aide. Born of an incubus and a human, the court mage of King Uther Pendragon and then Arthur's is a veritable creature of mystery, capable of transforming himself into whatever being he likes, and nobody knows what his true form or end goal is. He was the one who put Caliburn into the stone to determine the greatest of kings of Britain, he fostered Saber/Altria's along with Sir Kay and possibly helped teach her swordplay. His own demise was ironic: escaping an assassin in Avalon, the clairvoyant sage was trapped, unable to die or leave, in the Garden of Avalon played by the same fate he had played with. Never dead, he cannot be a Heroic Spirit.

Merlin seems happy about everything, clumsy, and air-headed; he boasts about his magic skills while stuttering on spells, he boasts about Altria's brilliance; he likes the human world a lot and saves us all from Tiamat, but he never says he likes each human as such — he never helps the protagonist out, and that describes the line this handsome prince-like man draws.
