o there are quite a few Lancers in the FGO universe, with a surprisingly high number of Figma representations of them. From a quick bit of digging, it seems that Scathach is a very popular character, and while I'm sure she has some very good stats, I'm guessing that's not the reason why she's got an impressive amount of Character Goods and Fan Art.
Originally released in 2018, I'd been tracking this figure on and off for the past few years, and prices have been kind of nuts. However, as with most of my purchases, right place right time, found a local seller that let his completely sealed one for $80 CAD, which of course was a great price so I went ahead and snagged it.
Like most Fate character, interesting background story on the character, including the ability to basically make as many Gae Bolg as she wants, provided she has access to the raw material, which is why she comes with two spears, though I'm not sure if she actually attacks with two of before she reaches her 3rd Ascension.
Her three face plates appear to do the job, though again I'm not familiar enough with the character to know if GSC missed anything.
Everyone loves the characters with the skin tight body suit designs , of which there are quite a few in the Fate universe. What really sets Scathach apart from the others is the predominately purple colour scheme, coupled with her striking eyes. Like all mysterious beauties, Scathach has long hair.
From an engineering perspective, there's nothing remarkable bout the figure. It's actually incredibly standard, a bit top heavy because of the long hair. There's no tricks to the articulation, so pretty standard Figma 2.0 set up, though I will give credit to the sculptors for making her coat tails or whatever they're called actually flared upward and outward so at least you can get some sort of leg movement in. That, combined with the fact that there's only impairment at the back, means you can get some decent dynamic poses in, though for most of them you will need the stand. Hair can be manipulated slightly to increase range of head motion, but at the same time because of the sculpted nature the hair never really flows naturally - you really do need a separate hair piece with like Medusa 2.0 if you want a more natural look in a variety of positions.
Of course, being a pre COVID figure, Paint and QC were of no concern, with all being as expected.
