Since the beginning I started collecting saint Seiya figures one figure that I always had in mind was Leo Aioria. Searching endlessly for this figure was one of my priority since I started this collection. It was not the cloth itself but the actual appendix of this figure that drove recruiting and we’re reviewing it today. It is a collector’s dream to have this appendix and his hands, and it’s a great pleasure in honor for me to do this review today.
One thing they always catch my attention of this appendix was the beauty of it all. So as we look at the front of the box we have a shot of the appendix doing the Athena exclamation and a small picture of the figure with the appendix on the background. On the side of the box we see it says saint cloth myth and on the bottom it says Leo Aioria appendix. On the back of the box we have the figure doing many poses and it shows you the accessories the figure has to offer. As we open the inside of the box we see that it has a nice window display and it shows you all the accessories and parts are comes with. On the trim of the box we see on top it says saint Seiya myth cloth and on the bottom it says Leo Aioria appendix.
Looking at the inside of the box we see the instruction Manual and one plate for this figure. On the plate you see it has three faces, one of the screaming face look into the side, and other one is screaming straight forward with red eyes, and the last one is a serious face of the figure. It has replacement parts for the waist, chest shoulders, and arms for the original myth cloth which is a really nice addition to this appendix. The instruction Manual is nothing complicated it just shows you how to put the appendix together and how to put it on the figure.
Now assembling this appendix has very easy and when it’s done it’s a work of art. The hair is not dark brown but a gold light brown mix. It fits very well with two figure and the actual faces are very well sculpted. The feeling you get when you’re assembling this appendix is great. The face peace when you put it on the hair in on the face is a total work of art, and just looking at it makes you feel like it’s the actual character in front of you. Now swapping the parts with the actual myth cloth is not very hard. The instruction Manual shows you that you have to assemble the chest, the shoulders, and the waist on the figure. Keep in mind are swapping plastic with metal. At the end the whole upper torso is replaced with plastic parts of the appendix and the only metal parts that are left of the actual cloth are the bicep parts, the waist, and all the legs. Overall the actual cosmetic value of this appendix to this cloth is tremendous. This drastically changes the look of the figure to a more modern Leo Aioria figure. Overall this is a must recommendation for this cloth. Many will debate on why you would have to buy this appendix if the new EX Leo Aioria is coming out this October of the year 2011. I would say to them that this is the cloth and started it all on a myth cloth collection on the year 2004. It would be an injustice to not try to get this figure even after a new figure is coming out. So many people have bough this cloth and one in an improvement and the appendix gave it that. This appendix have been the most sort out appendix in the history of saint Seiya and for you to miss out on one of the greatest appendix that Bandai ever made for this line would be an injustice just because of a new figure.
So I give this appendix a complete 10, it has the looks as the upgrades, and it just has character. This is a definitely must buy and I know they are very limited in number. I even know that this myth cloth appendix in some parts of the world is impossible to get, and that is why this appendix is so special. But I want to thank I Ishop2go for letting me review this appendix today; it has been a great honor.
And remember everybody, go out and buy it.
