Nesoberi (Plush Strap) Atilla the Hun Review
Hello everyone and welcome back to Tiro Finale for the conclusion of our trio of reviews for the plush strap Nesoberi(s) from the Fate/Extella Link series. In the first part, we covered everyone's favorite Roman Emperor, Nero Claudius. While in the second part, we took a look at Saber's counterpart in the series, the mythical Caster, Tamamo no Mae. In both reviews, we concluded that they were very good outings by Sega in the smaller Nesoberi plush strap series and worthy additions to any collection especially if you are a fan of the series.
Today, we will be focusing our efforts instead of Atilla the Hun who caries the Saber designation by default in the Fate Series. Compared to Nero and Tamamo, my knowledge about Atilla is elementary at best for both the historical and fictional depiction of the character. Still, I will not let that get in the way of me objectively reviewing this adorable plush strap.
And adorable she certainly is with her frowning expression and gaze of indifference, it almost looks like she is pouting. On that note, the stitching and colors used for Atilla's eyes are really beautiful and certainly stand out the most with regards to the entire plush. Besides that, Sega has also been careful to color coordinate Atilla's eyebrows to be the same light gray color that her hair is.
Beneath that carefully styled fringe, is Atilla's rainbow patterned hairpiece which also makes an appearance in plush form. You could certainly have her posed like this with her fringe pulled back but, it does look a little weird. Kudos to Sega though for including this piece of detail in the plush despite it being eventually blocked out when her fringe is back in its original position.
Towards the back, Atilla sports a long shawl that extends all the way till the base of the feet. Just like her original character illustration, the shawl is a plain design colored in a gray-ish tint of off-white that finishes with a design motif at the hems.
The printing for the design motif is spot on with no an single millimeter out of place. Moreover, the shawl also feels very well stitched and put together. As a result of this, potential owners would not have to worry about the shawl being dislodged in the event that they intend to use it as an actual strap charm.
Among the three, Atilla certainly has the most intricate outfit. While it may not be layered like Nero or Tamamo's, there are many different colors and design patterns which make for a lot of extra work in the manufacturing process. As much as they could, Sega attempted to recreate Atilla's Servant outfit as best as they could.
Comparing it to the character illustration, you can see that they have certainly come very close with their attempt to recreate Atilla's outfit. Each separate piece also has a reinforcing stitch to prevent that particular part of the garment from coming loose.
Atilla's long shawl folds up to reveal the rest of her outfit and the back of her hair. Just like her fringe, the back of Atilla's hair also features multiple individual strands which add a lot more character and depth to the plush rather than just a plain piece of fabric that we often see in the larger, Mega Jumbo Nesoberi.
Just like the upper part of her outfit, Atilla has an intricate lower part of her outfit too which sees several layers overlapping one another. It does look a little busy in Nesoberi form but, it is a truthful recreation of the Servant's battle garb. Certainly a detail fans of the Attila will be happy to see if not expect at the very least.
Just like the past two Nesoberi plush straps that we reviewed, Atilla was also released as part of the Fate/Extella Link video game. This also happens to be Atilla's first ever Nesoberi release. Depending on the popularity, she may yet get a Mega Jumbo Nesobreri in the future.
In terms of quality and detailing, there is little to fault in Atilla's Nesoberi plush strap especially when you consider that she is an arcade prize to begin with. Assessing the quality of the final product, it is no surprise that just like Nero and Tamamo, she retails for roughly 1,000 - 1,200 Yen in the re-seller's market.
If you are lucky, perhaps you could even get the three in a single set? After all, the three of them look great together! At this point, Sega certainly knows what they are doing with the Nesoberi series of plush toys and all of the inherent flaws of earlier Nesoberi(s) have certainly been addressed by this point. For that reason alone, I believe Sega's Nesoberi line of plush toys are represent one of the best values in collection.
With that, we come to the end of our review for the trio of Nesoberi(s) that all certainly live up to and exceed expectations. Before we come to the end of the review, I would just like to take the opportunity to thank OG, one of our silent contributors for providing these three Nesoberi(s) fro review. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask them in the comments section below as I would love to hear what you have to say. Until the next time, thank you so much for reading and have yourself a great day ahead!
