All of the trusted retailers are out of stock the last time I checked. Ebay or Yahoo auctions is probably the only way to get her nowadays. If we’re lucky, they *might* re-release her as a special edition. But I doubt that’s gonna happen.

I could not find a trust worthy retail outlet having searched the Internet for shops worldwide. Though it’s probable some exist, I couldn’t find any.
I ended up buying one from a japanese eBay seller who was a trusted seller with thousands of positive feedback and a 100% positive score.
Fortunately it paid off and my model is genuine and not a bootleg.
If you buy from an eBay seller I’d recommend only buying from a trusted member. Good luck.

So is there any place that sells good-quality Alice figures?

I bought the Saber Lily Distant Avalon figure. It’s stunning. I’m in the process of making a custom cabinet for them at the moment to really show them off.

Congrats. It’s nice to see another happy Alice owner.

Yeah, I actually have a couple of those leaners in my collection, but I don’t display them anymore. Most of the new figures won’t suffer from those problem(s), but my experience is only with the few brands that I buy from.

It is an interesting (if not rewarding) hobby. Which version of Saber Lily did you order?

After a week psyching myself up for the big event, and following your good advice, I finally got to installing Alice’s guns! haha! I was very careful, and it definitely is fiddly, but the pvc/resin gave more than I thought it would and I managed to slip both guns in place without any damage.

The pvc/resin is somewhat elasticated – explaining some of the horror stories I have heard about ‘leaning’ figures actually bending over a couple of years until they touch the floor!?! Alice’s fingers and thumbs bent quite nicely with some slow and very careful persuasion. I’m never taking the guns off though! lol.

Thanks for the very helpful advice. And what a gorgeous figure. Photographs are fantastic but they can’t do the real thing enough justice!

I think you’ve started a new addiction in me. – I love the figure so much I did some more web surfing and I’ve just gone and ordered Fate Unlimited Codes Saber Lily to add to my small but growing collection. Thanks again!

Thank you! Sorry for the late reply.

Unfortunately, the only way to “install” Alice’s guns is to pry her thumb (and finger) enough to slip her guns in from the thinnest edge. But make your life easier and put it in her left hand before the right hand. ;) Do be gentle when slipping her gun in place because I’ve read instances of her thumb coming off because they used excess force. Cheers to another Alice owner!

I found this excellent webpage whilst searching the net for nothing in particular and fell in love with the Alive figurine – I knew I had to get one! So after a lot of searching I finally found one in stock from Japan and I snapped it up. She was delivered a couple days ago and is absolutely fantastic. The photos in this “review” are really good by the way and do the model great justice. Well done!

The thing I’m having trouble with is installing Alice’s guns. I’ve been trying to work out the best way to do it for a couple days, but I can’t work out the best method? I’m afraid I’ll snap her thumbs off! Can you please tell me how you install her guns – what part of the gun you put where on her hand to get it in etc.

Thanks very much!

Sorry, I don't know where you can get one nowadays. There's one store on ebay that has it, but I wouldn't recommend you to buy from that store because of the crappy packaging. I would avoid HK/China sellers if you do buy from ebay. Sorry I couldn't help much.
