During the peak of Fate/Grand Order, the franchise received a generous number of premium scale figures including Kotobukiya. Among those releases, one solid entry I initially overlooked was Caster Anastasia, the lead Servant from Lostbelt No. 1. Sculpted in her Caster outfit at 1/7 scale, this PVC figure was originally priced at ¥17,800 and hit the market in November 2020.
With the Christmas season rolling in, it feels like the perfect moment to revisit this particular figure of Anastasia even if my relationship with FGO these days is complicated. While I have plenty of frustrations with how the developers handle the game, I still genuinely appreciate many of the character designs. And Anastasia’s is one of the few that truly deserves the spotlight.
Given how crowded the Caster class, especially within the SSR tier, has become in FGO, it’s easy for Anastasia to get overshadowed. Yet she remains a dependable AoE DPS, capable of performing remarkably well when delegated on right missions. In figure form, her voluminous winter-style royal dress translates beautifully. Kotobukiya’s sculpt captures her elegance with surprising value, especially considering that a figure like this would probably retail closer to ¥25,000 if released in today’s market.
I may have missed my chance to grab this particular version, but hope isn’t lost. There’s always the possibility of picking up her eventual Nendoroid or perhaps Kotobukiya will treat fans to a re-release someday.
