Maybe it's because of the unpainted sword? Like how paint usually make accessories a wee bit thicker?

Don’t remember seeing the reviews having any issues with holding the sword
But on the topic of paint, I went back and used the auto translate on the Bandai stream from a couple weeks back. It wasn’t the best translation, but it seemed they cut back on paint to keep the price point at that entry level 3,000-3,500 yen and meet the release date. Other Saber figures will be sold at higher price point so they’ll have a higher paint budget |

Also, pretty hilarious they decided to have Rekka sheathed for some reason. |

As I said a few months back I feel as if the value of Figuarts is dipping. The proportions and are getting better and better but at the cost of accessories and tiny detailed prints on the Driver and trinkets. All while the price rises.
Of course I know that inflation plays a factor but still... The only exception I see are the Seihous. Those are good value for their price.

Pretty sure the Rekka is sheathed because it is assumed you have the sword from Brave Dragon.

As previously mentioned by Mr. WilliamGraham, according to the translation on the stream, Saber's "silver" parts weren't painted to keep up with the 3000 yen entry price and also to meet deadlines. Let's not forget Saber came around the time of Chinese New Year, so stuff may have been affected. Instead, Saber uses grey molding plastic with a bit of glitter in them to give the impression that it's silver. Does it suck? Ye. Unforgivable? Maybe, maybe not. It sucks that the WRBs aren't decaled, but this has been going on since Ex-Aid so it doesn't really bother me anymore. |

I think the increase of Web Exclusives (bith number and price) has exacerbated the problem of higher prices/fewer accessories. When Web Exclusives started creeping above $100 I got priced out.

https://mobile.twitter.com/whenaiyy/...56863323938819 ...Fuck, I'm gonna need to buy him, don't I? He's gonna be one of those important characters that I'll fall in love in either Trigger or his own show and if I don't buy his SHF now, he'd be in 200% mark up everywhere else.
