As you know, these bronze saints are very
hard to buy now a day with the limited release that Bandai did for these
characters. But today we got our hands
on one of them and I want to figure out if the figure is worth buying with the
inflated price market it has. We will
find out today if it’s a smart buy to get it, or you should wait for last.
The
figure comes in a standard 2006 myth cloth box, it has stone grey as the main
box color and you can see the figure itself on the front with the animated
picture behind him. After that the box
comes in a standard book style package and on the side it says saint cloth myth
and on the bottom it says wolf cloth.
The back has the standard poses for the figure and the look at the
object mode.
When
you open the package on the left side we have the figure itself with parts of
the armor which are very limited, then on the other side we have the skeleton
of the object mode and some parts of the armor.
The manual is very short as there are not many parts for this figure.
The
object mode took less than 5 minutes to make because of the limited parts it
has. Most of the skeleton of the object
mode is made of the skeleton; with a few places the figure actually puts parts
on the object mode. Still the figure
looks great for a 2006 release.
Now
the figure itself is a very nice work of art.
The face has the likeness of the character and looks spectacular. The armor comes very limited with a very
small chest, shoulders are plastic, head piece is plastic, and the rest of the
armor is metal. The figure does not come
with many parts and the box feels light.
But overall the figure looks fantastic.
He does have the notorious ankles that are not able to sustain the
figure, but the figure has so little metal that this is not the issue.
So
is it worth buying for over 100 dollars, my answer is no. The figure is very limited and very simple to
be selling for that much. Still many
collectors will buy him to finish their collections, but be warned, that the
figure will not live to the money you will pay.
But overall the figure is great if it was selling on their original
price.
Thank You to iShop2go for letting me review
the figure.
