Some Words: I already have Rin as part of a previous Month some time ago. As part of the Damsels I wanted to 'tie up' for this year, Rin deserves a major do over since I have gained a lot more knowledge about her since last putting her on bondage! Basically, Rin is a mage in a world where Mages do battle for the Holy Grail. They have servants whom they make a pact with.... and so forth. I won't go in depth about it since that isn't what we are here for. What we are for is... well... let's go to it.

Those two are both screenshots for the Unlimited Blade Works movie 2010 and Series from 2015. I will recycle some of the images from my previous Damsel of the Month dedication to Ms. Tohsaka of course! One of the things I found hilarious on both anime is that they never addressed how the heck she wasn't able to use her magic or call Saber since she isn't gagged.... it's what she needed, honestly. A good little gag. Rin is quite talky. As LoZ demonstrated on the side art, that's how you keep a mouthy mage silent! And gagging her with her own stockings is quite sensual and humiliating, I bet for the young mage! But as long as it does the job, it's only a win-win for us, right?

And from the older anime. I'll keep bouncing back and forth between these screen caps since I have plenty of them.

We already talked about Rin's personality a bit. She is outspoken, brave, and just downright bitchy when it comes to it. Thing about it is though that she is has a pretty good courageous heart. She has good intent for the most part and she is trying her best to upkeep the honor the Tohsaka house while trying to be as honorable as she can. She actually dislikes most of what the Grail War rules implements. She doesn't like it when innocent people get hurt, thus how she ended up getting even closer to Shiro. She is pretty confident as well, as I mentioned before, almost like Asuka but a bit more mellowed down. She seems to have a habit of blushing more often than not; especially around Archer and Shiro (who are of course ....).

Forgot the source of these pictures, but I do remember they come from a pretty dirty site.

She needs a gag for all these shenanigans! Can't have her shouting some spell, can we?

Thank you!

As far as outfits go, Rin has her signature red and black ensemble. The red blouse with the 'cross' on her chest, the black skirt, the black thigh high stockings, and the dark mahogany like shoes. She also wears her hair in twin pigtails. If you ask me, she likes to tease when she's casting spells. That 'signature' outfit of hers does some justice to seem panty shots! She also has two other outfits that she wore; her school girl uniform which she wears a red coat over it, and I believe her 'casual' outfit that she wore for the majority of the second half in Unlimited Blade Works.

Both of these lovely pictures are drawn by D-Mizton. They both show her two outfits that were prominent in the Stay/Night and the Unlimited Blade Works series. Same tie, one has more refined skill and more restraint, obviously. 

And that's a variant outfit that she never really uses from my knowledge. I wish she had others in her school girl outfit with the red coat. She also had a 'modern' adult look in the epilogue which wouldn't have been that bad. SPAM TIME!

AND.... I wish there was more of this picture in 'full glory':

Looks like Saber got the upper hand and is ..... letting Rin just sit there and watched helplessly and gagged too! 

Face so 'calm-angry'.  

AND.... I am not going to post the whole thing since it gets really lewd, but I will post the few that I think were still sexy but on my borders. Basically, someone from this site had talent to draw and did an alternate scene: 

And I would imagine Rin's reaction to this alternate scene (which I'm sure the scene that Shinji was going for anyways):

Again, take a gander at your won risk! It gets REALLY dirty. Oh... and the bondage ends after a certain scene... boo. AND NO GAG?!. But it was a great look into it. 

So Rin is a real gem! I have to concoct some kind of DiD fic out of her one of these days since she has reached my top favorites as an Anime girl and not just looks now. The anime itself, both Zero and Unlimited Blade Works is probably one of the best things I watched recently and it developed two sexy damsels (Saber being the other). So, as part of the redone Damsel of the Month, I think Rin deserved it! Next month... we'll see who to do next. Hope you all enjoyed it! Did a lot of spamming and screen shots here!

Figma: Rin Tohsaka 2.0

An updated Rin Tohsaka figure was a must for sure after Fate Zero and Fate Unlimited Blade Works! Figma was bound to have another one after the rebooted Fate series. After the last figure, I really was excited to hear about this! So, let's get right into it!

 

 

The Figma box this time around is a bit different from the last version of her. I saw the change with Mikasa Ackerman. It's bigger than the old ones, and perhaps there is a purpose for it; Figmas are getting bigger perhaps. So, on to the figure! Let's not sit around and stare at the box all day!

Right off the get go, I do have to say that the decision on this particular outfit is not exactly what I expected. I think for all the Rin and Fate fans, this probably took a lot of them by surprise. Okay so Rin did wear her school outfit a lot and for the good first part of the first season, but it doesn't exactly FEEL like Rin without the red coat. I'll elaborate on that.

 

But as a figure, she is well done. She does resemble her anime counterpart a whole lot. The new female mold announce seems to be doing well. It also stuck well with Rin's stature in the new anime; she was after all skinny but endowed in the right areas.... yep. The joints are hidden well enough for the most part, but there are some areas that make certain poses look odd. At times her neck joint looks a bit long, but that little problem can be hidden well enough. The paint job is amazing and right to Rin's detail on her sleeves, to her Command Seal mark, and just crisp. Pulling off the color combo does well; Although I do wish Rin's ribbon is a slightly a bit more different color of black; seems to get lost in her black hair.

It's been some time since I reviewed a Figma figure, and I sure do miss it. I have to say that while I do appreciate all this one has to offer, and she does come with plenty of accessories, some of it seems a bit different and doesn't feel 'as complete' like the previous Rin. Well, we'll talk about that but let's just look at the stuff she comes with. 

Rin has a variant shoes and glasses. Now I do appreciate the nice touch, but the one thing about the sunwear is that it only happens for 30 seconds in the series. Not sure why they would go ahead and put a thought in this. Nicely done, but again, I think it was a rather insignificant piece. Then she has her alternate shoes which are indoor shoes if we are talking about Japan. Nice touch, but I think this department is rather... almost pointless. 

Out of all of Rin's accessories, this one definitely adds a whole lot more dynamic to her. Rin was a trigger happy mage, often sprouting out magical projectiles out of her hand and the affect resembles this little beauty more or less. I'm not going to complain about the notion that perhaps that they should have given two so that there is a variety of firepower happening, but it would have been nice. One thing though is that it only connects to her 'gun pointing' hand, which is accurate to the anime. Though Rin did fire projectiles when her hands were formed in a 'sword hand'(or karate chop hands) position so it would also have been nice if that was made possible. Regardless, it fits quite well on right and left hand so there are some fun factors to this. 

The next piece is also a good addition since it is also an important part to Rin: her magical symbol that is part of her Tohsaka lineage; I forgot the full details and the name of the said symbol. All I know is that she did mention it once or twice in the anime. This alternate forearm does wonders to also add more accuracy to Rin's character. And unlike Rin 1.0 from Figma, the symbols are much easier to see. Seems like the previous Rin's paint was a little shy from being noticeable. 

Next are the alternate faces. I have to say that we are given three and we are missing one core expression: Rin's rather confident(or arrogant) face that she has shown more than a few times. What a miss, but the ones we got are adequate for what they are. Her smile face is fitting for all the times Rin was calm and pleasant in the anime.

Next is her angry or shouting face. More of a battle dynamic face if you ask me. Works well with all the action poses I was making her do.

Then the face I could have done without and replaced with her arrogant one: the embarrassed look. She's shown it to Archer and Shiro more than enough times so this one is appreciated. Still, maybe a frustrated or closed mouth angry and again, the arrogant look would have been better.

Then just for a close up of her glasses accessory. It is attached to her interchangeable bangs so the glasses isn't as hard to put on as Mari's was. 

 

Of course now we can talk about her articulation and honestly, it does well. I do feel that there are some poses that are rather awkward with this mold and I don't remember it being that odd with posing Mikasa. For me, the oddest joints are the shoulder and the neck; the shoulder more or less because its wide range of movement does make it look like her shoulder is out of place (and it is, and I wish there was a way to hide it better). The neck as I mentioned earlier just looks really odd and long with certain angles. Everything else though works just fine and we get the standard legs and feet movement we have seen in all Figma figures. The hair itself is also articulated with her pigtails and the hair that is down having their own separate joints. Definitely easier and more possible than Rin Tohsaka 1.0.

Oh and her skirt is very pliable so it doesn't hinder too much leg movement. 

One can also get a good panty shot too if you really want. Oh and YES, I love that pose. Rin firing off her magic with that arm posture is just badass. One more thing, I forgot to mention that she comes with the standard Figma stand; of course we all know that. It would be an asinine decision for Figma to not have a stand in their lines from here on out. 

Now as a comparison to her former Figma self. I'm going to be completely honest, the previous Rin seems to have more to offer with accessories. So Rin never used her daggers at Unlimited Blade Works, but the Rin from Fate/Stay Night Figma did offer it as accuracy, but she had the alternate hand with the magic jewels. her outfit was more the more popular look for Rin. Accessory wise that seems 'dynamic', I think Rin 1.0 takes the cake. But as for aesthetics, Rin 2.0 wins, as she should. She is a newer figure and definitely the 'update'. I still think if they went with the red coat look, this figure would be more 'Rin feel', so to speak. Red is Rin's dominant color and for it to only be a mild pop up contrast in her ensemble, I do think it worked against this figure. Regardless it has a pretty fun energy affect and her colors are more vibrant and detailed. 

Here is Rin in my crowded Anime shelf (one that is in dire need of some purging and consolidating!).

Just so one can get a better look of just how crowded this shelf is! -And- I still want MORE Figma/anime figures in the future?!

As a final word, I do think this figure is very cool. I am a Rin Tohsaka fan so I had to have her. Die hard Fate fans would appreciate her and for all who are just Rin fans, this isn't bad. I do hope they plan on making more of her with the more popular outfit/s, but for now, she's who we have from the Unlimited Blade Works reboot. Again the missed opportunity with the faces, more 'significant' accessories, perhaps the addition of the redcoat would have been better and I wouldn't have mind paying more for those. Well other than that, I don't think I can say much else other than I'm planning on getting Kiritsugu next! oh and on another note:

A Rin Tohsaka 'hot toy'! VERY affordable too! I plan on getting her on my collection soon enough!
