Fate/Grand Order Figma 568-DX Lancer Artoria

  Fate/Grand Order popularity has been waning over past two years, but it does not mean the mechandise are stopping anytime soon and Max Factory came with another big gun! It takes sometime but finally Lancer Artoria came into Figma format complete with her loyal steed, Dun Stallion. Scheduled for May 2023 release, Figma Lancer Artoria comes with two different version, Regular one cost 9500 Yen while the DX version will be sold for 17800 Yen.

The extra 8000 Yen of Figma Lartoria DX is for Figma Dun Stallion which is actually bigger than Figma Cuirassier. You can get a regular Figma horse for 4000 Yen but Dun Stallion probably cost double due to extra armors on him. In terms of accessory,both  Lartoria version parts are pretty much identical, coming with 2 versions of Rhongomyniad and at least come with her gentle smile faceplate which is a good selling point for her. 

 Since i had Lancer Artoria in my FGO account for quite some time, i will most likely get the DX version considering it will be a pain to find Dun Stallion on aftermarket despite i have some major gripes with the product. I already had misgivings from the Nendoroid release, but it seems that Max Factory decide to flat out ignore Lartoria 1st/2nd Ascension form and go straight to the 3rd Ascension which comes with cleavage. I am quite sure that Max Factory could make separate armored torso for Lartoria just like Figma Gilgamesh. Personally i dont even mind paying another extra 3000/4000 Yen just to have Artoria's Lancer variant in her proper knight getup. 

 Lartoria is a good waifu no doubt but this incarnation for the Figma just plainly try to ignore the knightly side of her character. If Max Factory tried to pull the same crap with Lancer Artoria Alter Figma don't expect me to even support that crap.
