Bandai Armor Girls Project: Saber/Variable Excalibur

I've taken note of this armor girl before, but with these new reference photos, it really does look like a Fate/Saber version of the Astray Blue with its Back Weapon System.

I'll let the photos do most of the talking. I like how it has two sword versions, and that the sword variants are because of how it integrates additional armor into the figure.

For the Astray reference:

Full Armored Saber?

It seems that the idea of Weapon as Armor has come to the Fate's Saber.

It's no surprise, given the existence of the Gundam Astray Second Frame.
