With the release of FGO Babylonia Anime, Bandai finally made its move onto the series! It seems that they are only able to touch on Fate Series whenever there are any anime adaptations like Apocrypha and Last Encore. For the FGO Babylonia, the Tamashii Nation division contributed to some of the products including the recent Figuarts Zero Mini Lineup. Ishtar, Mash and Caster Gil will be debuting in this lineup with the price tag 3000 Yen with March 2020 release schedule. This makes a good substitute for Nendoroid because some of the characters may easily cost twice for the latter.
Figuarts Zero Mini is one of the new lineup introduced this year featuring Kotobuki Squadron as the debutting series and later on Sailor Moon series. FZ0 Mini probably serve as the continuation of Tamashii Buddies and perhaps will feature more characters from anime series. I think Bandai probably applied some their experience from Petit-Rise model kit onto the FZ0 Mini in particular with Mash. If the FGO series proven to be profitable enough for Bandai, i think we will see more FGO Babylonia characters to make an appearance in this lineup. FZ0 mini is somewhere in between Bandai's Petit-Rise and GSC Nendoroid which makes a good substitute if you are looking for something outside those two lineups.
Chibi figure is something that I will get if I have the extra cash, likely to compliment the regular figures which I already have or desperately needing a particular character cos the regular looking one is not out or will never be released.
