Selvaria Bles gets the new figure treatment, courtesy of Alter! photo

Alter are easily my favourite PVC figure manufacturer. While many others are hit-or-miss for me (mostly miss due to my preference towards resin kits), Alter consistently impress with their products. Although I feel that they may miss the mark a little from time to time, such as their bizarre and somewhat awkward pose for Adult Fate T Harlawn or the inexplicable bulge around the hip for their KOS-MOS ver.4, their quality and designs are usually second to none among the big manufacturers!

So with that in mind, I'm very interested in their planned release of Selvaria Bles from Valkyria Chronicles going toe to toe against the Enterbrain version which was reviewed by Community member Drew327 a little while back. I'm a massive fan of Valkyria Chronicles (the game. The awful anime does not exist in my mind!) but the previous Selvaria figure left me somewhat cold. Primarily because I thought the pose was incredibly awkward. It was almost like she unbalanced and was about to fall down.

Alter have gone for a more static but more commanding pose compared to the Enterbrain version but have kept similar features. You will be able to swap out her hand and replace it with a Valkyria lance weapon and equip the shield as well. Her cape can also be removed

No word on a release date or price yet, but given that the prototype was shown off during the summer Wonder Festival last year and surfaced again at the recent winter event and Megahobby Expo, I doubt an official announcement can be too far away.

Alter is surprisingly AMAZING.
Having recently adquired Alter's Gwendolyn, and seeing it's quality in real life...It's speechless.
I'm looking towards this Selvaria. Her pose is brillantly done. And her hair is just beautiful. It's movement is just so harmonic.
I could not get past maybe the 3rd episode of the anime, brutal!

This better not be so good that I end up with it too!
Yeah, despite how much I liked the previous Enterbrain version, I may have held off if I'd known Alter was doing a figure.
I may be cursed to purchase two Selvarias. Woe.
i thought the anime was good and it was pretty sad too, i think its worth a watch, remember how people complained about TTGL, look at what a gem that turned out to be!

I've found that how much you like the anime depends on if you have played the game and how far you have gotten.
It's watchable if you don't know a thing about the game but if you have gone through the game story, you realise just how bad the adaptation is with character assassinations and minor character parts cut left, right and center. Take what happened with Selvaria at the end. The game gave her a much more powerful and tragic end by virtue of a single change which was completely unnecessary!
Gregor was also depicted as a man of honour who was willing to willing to make tough decisions to protect his men and country. In the anime, he was a stereotypical "evil general"
I stopped reading what you wrote with "take what happened with Selvaria ...

After speaking with a friend he too mentioned there was a difference with the game and anime. I have yet to play the game so I suppose that is why I feel the way I do. So I can accept everyone's opinion knowing that mine may one day change as well. I wish I could read the rest of what you wrote but with the chance for spoilers , I can not.
Don't worry, I didn't put any spoilers in there. It's one of those bits which you really need to experience anyway. What happens is the same as in the anime, but different... if that makes sense.
Sooooo getting this! I've had my eyes on this one for a while! :D
I will probably buy this too even though I just paid over $250 to get the other Selvaria figure (shipping fees to Australia suck). I am addicted to Valkyria Chronicles.
