I love seeing Nanoha figures. Even a bit outdated today, despite the somewhat flashier new movies, the show has some seriously kickass magical effects that get slung around so much they'd have a raver breaking out the glowsticks. Thankfully, a lot of companies incorporate these effects into their figures, and so it is with Kotobukiya's upcoming "Whole body and soul" version of Fate herself.

I'm not entirely sure what the title implies, but I do know it's a pretty awesome looking figure. Her standard outfit has a few tears of battle damage without coming off as too pandering, and of course Bardiche looks fantastic when it comes to both its spell effects and its actual form. I would like to see more modern content from StrikerS and beyond, but it's still great to see a high quality figure from the movie, too. Fans will be able to pick her up in January for around ¥8,800.
