Why indeed, i don’t like saying the same thing again and again. It’s a figure from Alter so as always, i don’t have much to say about the overall quality. As for the figure itself, well it’s Nanoha but in her younger self this time. So lolicons friends rejoice !

This Stand By Ready version of Nanoha (coming from the movie) is without any surprise the best version of young Nanoha available, way better than the now old Good Smile version. Not as impressive as her adult version, she compensates this with the two forms of Raising Heart that can be displayed beside Nanoha on a little base. And the way she is standing high over the base mades her look like she’s really floating, a nice touch. Painting is as always with Alter perfectly done and there’s nothing wrong to signal quality wise. A great figure for all the Nanoha fans and lolicons out there (lots !).

Nanoha Stand By Ready gets 4.5 Exelica out of 5.

That’s all for now, thanks for reading/looking ^-^

Here’s finally my (late) review of the big Nanoha from Alter. There are already lots of pics of her around and great reviews so you don’t need to hear much good about her, you already know everything. In fact, i’m pretty sure that if you’re a figures collector/you have lots of money/you’re a Nanoha fanboy/you just sold the house, you already got her in your collection.

So yes, like Fate, Nanoha is a masterpiece, eveything is finely painted and it’s for sure the best Nanoha available on the market. And i’m sure it’ll stay like this for a while. But i heard some people got problems with their Nanoha’s and i got one with mine too. The “pearls” on her dress and clothes goes off or are not correctly glued. On mine it’s the one on her left arm that is not correctly fixed. Still, it’s a minor problem compared to GSC “oh i forgot to write World is Mine on the base” problem …

Nanoha is a big and beautiful figure, perfectly painted and a must have for any figures collector or fan of the show. But keep in mind that maybe your Nanoha will have some little problems, nothing than can’t be fixed with some glue. And i hope you have lots of patience, Nanoha takes quite a while to be ready to expose, after taking out all the protections and everything.

Nanoha gets 4.5 Exelica out of 5.

Here’s the biggest Nanoha figure ever , standing at 39 cm high (1/4 scale) . I was surprised to see that it was in fact Gift that made this one , and not Good Smile like it was announced . I guess Good Smile is just the distributor this time . And quality wise , it’s Gift allright , with a nearly perfect quality and a great overall look . This Nanoha is not as impressive as the Gift’s Yoko (because of the awesome details Yoko has on the clothes) but a little bikini is always less awesome i guess . Still , Nanoha is without any doubt , one of the most impressive figures ( by her size) and the ultimate swimsuit figure ever.

The base is a white round one , nothing spectacular but it looks solid enough to keep the figure in place . Because yes , Nanoha is quite heavy (sorry Nanoha), being half ABS … And yes you’ve seen it right , this figure needs a big metal bar and a support to help her stands . It’s not a real problem , as the metal bar is hidden behind her right leg and the support is really hard to spot . So good job from Gift.

The paint job on Nanoha is quite good , better than on other 1/4 figures (like the FREeing bunnies) , with more details and no bad spots . The paint used for her skin tone is fine , with good use of shading and Nanoha’s sexy little bikini is sweet too , painted in a pearlish pink color . Nanoha’s body is greatly scuplted , with lots of details and she seems quite happy letting us look at her . My favorites parts about this figure are her hands and feet , really nicely detailed , and all nails pink painted of course . Her hair looks great too and her eyes are beautiful , and are not glossy , way better than the FREeing bunnies again …

9/10

A really big stunning figure , she is truly the best swimsuit figure ever . Nanoha fan or not , you can’t say no to this beautiful and really sexy girl .
