Fate Testarossa Swimsuit Version 1/7 (Alter) Review

FateSwimsuitAlterWM-71
Fate Testarossa from the Nanoha the Movie 1st decides to go to the beach…

For some reason, 2 Fate Testarossa appeared at my door step. It seemed that I had ordered the same figurine from 2 different sources. In any case, seeing how Alter had painfully recreated Fate in her almost-adolescent summer swimsuit figure, I had no choice but to do a review.

Before the unboxing part, let us look at the unboxed Fate…

A closeup of her face…

How fate would probably looked like on a messy desk…

Here is the full review…

Once you tore off the protective semi-transparent rice-paper…

The sides of the box will make you notice Fate from far, far away…
FateSwimsuitAlterWM-2

While the other side had a little window, and a picture of Fate’s back…
FateSwimsuitAlterWM-4

The back of the box is very much transparent, and so, you will naturally see Fate’s little butt…
FateSwimsuitAlterWM-3

Half of the top of the box is also transparent, making it easy for the buyer to inspect their goods…
FateSwimsuitAlterWM-6

The bottom of the box is the most boring part of the box, since all of the legal mambo jambo are written on the bottom…
FateSwimsuitAlterWM-7

At the corner, you will find the Holographic sticker from Alter, indicating that it is a real item from Alter…
FateSwimsuitAlterWM-8

There is also a golden seal at the front of the box, which will be expensive for pirates…
FateSwimsuitAlterWM-10

Once Fate is taken out of the box, you will see Fate carefully protected by layers of clear plastics…

FateSwimsuitAlterWM-14

And Fate’s butt in full glory…. well, almost.
FateSwimsuitAlterWM-13

Once the front protective plastic was taken apart, you will see the real deal, with a bit of plastic sheets protecting places that moves…
FateSwimsuitAlterWM-15

Here is the base. Noticed that just like Vivio’s figurine, only one of her legs is supported?
FateSwimsuitAlter-17
The sculptor could have used a twin legged support base, but didn’t. I can only speculate that Alter have confidence that their PVC do not lean, even after a long time.

Here is a closeup of the foot that connects to the base…
FateSwimsuitAlter-18
Noticed the Hexagonal shaped holes? It is a move away from the usual round holes that sculptors used.

And since Fate’s little dress is an optional item, and thus, moves around, a piece of plastic was wrapped round Fate’s waist to protect the paint…

Here is a closeup of here little blue dress…
FateSwimsuitAlter-21

FateSwimsuitAlter-23

FateSwimsuitAlter-22

And since you have to “take Fate apart”, you will be seeing Fate being tore apart…
FateSwimsuitAlter-27

FateSwimsuitAlter-28

A better view of the joint…
FateSwimsuitAlter-29

Once assembled, Fate would look something like this…
FateSwimsuitAlterWM-41

From behind too…
FateSwimsuitAlterWM-44

And since she does not take up too much space, unlike her grown up version, she can be placed anywhere, and have you looking at her…
FateSwimsuitAlterWM-45

From different angles everyday…
FateSwimsuitAlterWM-46

FateSwimsuitAlterWM-47

A full “behind” view of Fate…
FateSwimsuitAlterWM-48

A closer look at Fate’s back…
FateSwimsuitAlterWM-49

Her back….

And since I know some of you like it, here is a closeup of Fate’s butt…
FateSwimsuitAlterWM-55

And her crotch…
FateSwimsuitAlterWM-57

Even the smallest details were not forgotten…
FateSwimsuitAlterWM-54

FateSwimsuitAlterWM-56

Her little Bow at the middle of her Bikini…

Her foot. Look closely as you will be able to see her nails too…
FateSwimsuitAlterWM-61

Her toenails…
FateSwimsuitAlterWM-62
Will be taking a better macro shot when I have the time.

Her blue ribbons…
FateSwimsuitAlterWM-64

Check out the difference…

If you really like Fate, go grab her while she is still available.
