I've been waiting for your review on this, thank you! I preordered this one too and I'm excited to receive mine. Love how you posed her on the final thoughts section. Good thing they released a 2.0 right before I decided to buy an after market of the first version. They sell it too damn high.
Glad you like it. I'm with ya, I really wanted Rider and was toying with the idea of getting the original around the time they announced this one. Honestly the main reason I never got the original Rider cause I feel she's just not worth it. It's one of those old figmas that doesn't really look that good especially with the faces.
I actually bought the Sakura and Shinji two pack in anticipation of the Medusa figma. Now if Goodsmile will just do her Lancer version, her angry emo Avenger version, Euryale and that Rare Prism that shows up in the gacha, the Gorgon sisters will be complete.
My first reaction was “Why is she so much taller than Saber?”, but after a quick check, Medusa is 172 tall while Artoria is only 154 cm tall. Mine is on it’s way. Only 84 USD shipped. I’ve never seen the yen to USD exchange rates so low. As for how the figure itself compares to the 1.0 version, I think she’s definitely an upgrade overall, although I do miss some of the simple elegance of the original. It will be fun to compare them side by side.
Awesome 2.0 release compared to the 1st one. But yeah I see there are some flaws/QC issues with it. The main things I dig are the accessories and the articulation. Especially with her badass fight with Saber Alter at HF 3rd movie this should be a beauty to pose. Great review as usual my bro!!
Love her! Taking a fresh break from my usual Mafex and Mezco order with Rider now, but wow those range of articulation. Guess i'll enjoy posing her a lot when pre-order hit home
9:21 - I just got her from the mystery event, I was checking her skirt to see how I could move her legs, and it turns out that this skirt does* have 2 cuts. Is just that the plastic is sort of stiff.
Also, her hips swivels are not pegs, they're ball joint. I feel like that's a massive opportunity lost, since that could've added some range of movement like Ryza. Instead, it just sort of swivels and that's it.
I find it hilarious how wide her eyes are on the neutral face. She looks like she just saw a whole stack of plates fall and land perfectly without breaking.
A very good figure unfortunately when I received mine in July it came with some qc, the torso was missing a small part of black paint exposing the white plastic and the left leg had some scratches that made me unable to appreciate this figure but luckily I contacted goodsmile and They sent me a new torso and leg. The package arrived on Tuesday with the new parts assembled in Rider. I can say that she is one of my favorites in my collection of Fate Figmas.
Rider 1.0 ver has better body curves but ugly eyes too cartoonish. while ver 2.0 eyes more realistic like in the anime but i like ver 1.0 overall because i mostly keep her eye cover xD and also articulation is better in ver 2.0 than 1.0. I just expect more from rider 1.0 to 2.0, but ver 1.0 is still as good as this ver 2.0. Just like saber alter, Saber alter 1.0 design is not good while they re-release ver 2.0 salter is so damn gorgeous. I think i'll pass this ver 2.0. because I like ver 1.0 body more. thanks for the review
Well umm somthing seemed to happen to her chest it shrunk quite a bit why are companies getting so afraid of a nice big chest. From all the shorts i get on utube from all the female "content creators" tou figure theu be all in for a nice big set. i got 2.0 but i want 1.0 its body looks so much better
I think the red on her neck is kind of a reference to when she summons her Bellerophon, where she slashes her neck and drops of her blood create the summoning circle. Yeah, it's a creepy thought, but understandable.
Warning, Might turn your other figures into stone.
Hehe
Don't worry, most of my other figures are robots
@@juanchosoriano6320Same.
That’s why you keep the blindfold on.

That's a lot, but I'd definetly enjoy the Avenger version. That design is hawt.

Gonna have a lot of fun with that.

Could've been better, but still overall happy with the release.

She does kinda do the big empty Medusa stare quite a bit.
Rider Medusa my waifu and favorite servant! 😘
Excellent choice.

Oof, good thing you got your replacements to fully enjoy this figure.
Nice review. I can't wait until I get mine!
Hope you enjoy it!
I think I might get this figure, she cute and Gothic, I NEED IT
You got good taste.

Fair enough, thanks for your insight.
Can't wait for her. Rider is best girl of the HF route.
Hope they make Illya, too. Even if it's the Prisma Illya version
I REALLY want Illya and Berserker
@@therealPayneThe fact that there’s no figure of Heracles WHATSOEVER is ASTONISHING!!!
You should check out her Lancer Form from Fate/Grand Order where she got summoned as a Loli (Lolidusa but whatever).
Now that's funny.
She looks awesome, I can't wait to get her to do stop-motion videos
Sweet
What's the difference from the old one?
I don't have the old one. This one looks better.
How much did Rider 2.0 cost?
I don't remember.
The Hair looks weird in my opinion. but awesome review like usual
Fair enough! Thank you!
I wanted to pass On this but I forgot the store had my card recorded so they charged it anyway xD
Think i'm gonna keep her. That hair looks hella good
I don't think you're gonna regret it.
So what this review curtails to is........
Snek waifu is best girl, buy her :>
Ye, pretty much lol.
Well umm somthing seemed to happen to her chest it shrunk quite a bit why are companies getting so afraid of a nice big chest. From all the shorts i get on utube from all the female "content creators" tou figure theu be all in for a nice big set. i got 2.0 but i want 1.0 its body looks so much better
I don't feel like the boobs are necessarily smaller, version 1 just looks a lot more pushed up to me.
I think the red on her neck is kind of a reference to when she summons her Bellerophon, where she slashes her neck and drops of her blood create the summoning circle. Yeah, it's a creepy thought, but understandable.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm, maybe. I dunno I feel like that's a stretch, but still thanks for the input.
im the real payne!
Nope
It hurt a lot when she ran me over with her horse.
I can imagine.
