Many fans love this cloth with a passion,
but the only Libra cloth that we ever got before the EX will be released is the
2005 Libra from the myth cloth line.
Needless to say we know that the first gold saints were not perfect and
this cloth is one of the worst, but what makes it bad that people just want to
display the object mode of this figure?
Let’s find out today!
The
box is a standard myth cloth box with the figure on the front with the animated
picture behind him. The box is a book
style kind of package and on the side it says saint cloth myth and on the
bottom it says Libra Cloth. The back has
a standard display of the figure and parts of the object mode. The box is the standard gold color most gold saints
had at the time.
Opening
the package, each side had 2 busters, on side number one we had the figure
itself with parts of the armor, and on the back there were some weapons for the
weapons Libra has on the object mode. On
side number 2 we have the skeleton of the object mode and the face of Dragon
Shiryu if you want to put the cloth with his face on it. You also had another layer with most weapons
for the cloth. The manual is very short
and to the point, as most cloths of 2005 had very big parts and they were
simple to make.
No
building the object mode was a lot of fun.
It has very different mechanism than any other gold myth cloth and you
can tell that they spend a lot of their time to perfect this mode. The object mode gets a solid 10 for me as
it’s a very nice display piece.
Now
building the figure the first thing you will see is that the face is just
wrong. It looks horrible and the figure
just is very unstable at the ankles. The
figure has very big parts and a lot of metal.
The only parts I can see that are plastic is the head helmet, the
outside of the shields, the bottom parts of some weapons, and that’s about
it. The rest is a massive solid piece of
metal that the ankles of a generation 1 myth cloth body cannot handle. Also the shields seem to me very big for the
figure, they look fantastic for the object mode, but they do not look good on
the figure itself.
All the weapons as
well are metal and this makes the figure even heavier, needless to say, the
figure had balance and weight issues all the time and was not able to stand for
a long time. The shape of the feet does
not help as well, as they are pointy as the animation, but they do not
distribute the weight evenly upon completion of the figure.
So
it seems that I’m just complaining of the figure, but the figure has its good
qualities. As the object mode, this
figure is beautiful and I think this figure was meant to be on the object
mode. The figure mode is very unstable
and not recommended to have. If you’re
going to have this figure up for display, I recommend to wait for the human
form of the EX line and have this figure as an object mode, as it looks way
better.
Thank you iShop2go for letting me review
this figure.
