Wonder Festival Summer 2010: Gift is making figures again! photo

Gift is a relative newcomer when it comes to the PVC scene. Started in 2008, the company got my attention with their release of Saber. I was miffed when I couldn't get my hands on that, but was excited when they announced a Saber Lily version. As of today, I only had to wait just a year to see a sample, but damn was the wait worth it. I love all of the ornate details they put on her, plus I was liking the realistic take on Saber in their first piece, so this is a must get for me.

If you thought there would only be one Tamaki at WonFes, Gift is also going to release their own version. This release will come in at 1/4 scale, sure to rise up as queen and ruler over your other Tamaki figures. I'm not liking Gift's effort on this one though, as the eyes just don't strike a chord with me. Not only that but Tamaki is dangerously approaching Kanu-levels of annoying release numbers.

While it's nice to see Gift making figures again, they will be selling a motherload of plushes. All of the major Vocaloids, Black Rock Shooter, Nanoha, Touhou Project, K-On!, Disgaea, Soniko and even King Kazama are all getting the soft treatment. I was hoping for more figures, but I can't blame Gift when they make something this cute.

Togainu no Chi plushies....KYAA!!! I want all of them. Must have. Inner fangirl burst. XD
I always wanted one of those Sabers, but I'm not sure if I like the Lily version as much as the classic on this particular piece.
Do want.
I read the banner "Gift is making figures again!" and then saw that Saber and thought "well they shouldn't have bothered" The expression on her is just a total wtf.

But that Dark Sakura is pretty awesome. Would definitely pick one of her up.
Love that Lily. wow, might have to be my first figure purchase of that kind.
@Reibooi: are you serious? That saber is amazing!
If you hunt for it, Mandarake puts up the original ver for fairly cheap (3000 yen) occasionally. The only ham I have with it was that the real-ver eyes look dull, but it looks like they fixed that with Lily and even one-upped the original on details. I think I'll be getting this and put my burning regret for GSC Lily to bed.
Oh, thank you for posting Gift's things! I've been searching the entire net for the--

WHERES MY TAKO LUKA GIFT
YOU PROMISED ME ;___;

*caham* I think I've said that before, but that Dark Sakura was actually from Solid Teather. She goes together with their Saber Alter. She's really old, I think they broke before they got the chance to release her.
@ ShadowMountain

While I will agree that the figure as a whole looks great the face(Which is what i mentioned) is wrong in nearly every aspect. It doesn't even look like Saber as much as it looks like another character cosplaying Saber.

It's obvious to me that they were going for a more real look. Kinda like the Real image Yoko but they didn't come close to pulling it off in my opinion.

I'm sorry, the picture must not have uploaded, but yes there is a Tako Luka.
I want that frigging Saber. I have a feeling I'll be staking out Mandarake for the next 6 months...
Okay, just checked that link to the other article and apparently the face doesn't look as good as it does in the header photo for this article. All the same, if it pops up on Mandarake that cheap I'll probably buy it.
