Saint Seiya Myth Cloth 10th Anniversary

Saint Seiya Myth Cloth Libra Dohko Review

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.

Saint Cloth Crown Poseidon Review

One of the most popular gods of the saint seiya series is the god of the sea, Poseidon.  His release has been waited for over a year and it’s a very popular character, but many people have their worries about this figure as the major disappointment of last year’s crown Series of Sagittarius Seiya.  But I think most people are going to be pleasantly surprised when they see the crown figure with their own eyes.  Let’s get started.

         The box is a standard crown box as last year’s figure.  It has a pop out cardboard and to cover 4 sides of the box and the texture of the cardboard has the figure of Poseidon in the front with a nice feel to it.  This piece of the box is white and it’s very colorful.  The box itself is around 22 inches high and around 12 inches in length.  Taking off the cover is a box with a reflection kind of material with a deep marine blue to it.  On the reflection part you can see the marine zodiac and also pictures in black about the figure.  Overall this box is as spectacular as the box of Pegasus seiya crown of last year.

         Opening the box you see 3 compartments as well with this figure.  Compartment number one has most of the parts of the figure and some hands and a couple of faces. 

Compartment 2, has a lot of parts for the thrown, as this figure comes with a thrown itself to be displayed with the figure. 

On compartment 3, we have parts for the display mode of the object mode; it’s like a huge stand and looks very nice. 

Also in this compartment, you have the skeleton of the object mode and many parts for the display thrown and the chair thrown it.  Overall the compartments are the same as last year’s so this part was not very shocking for the public.

Now as we build the object mode, the figure or the object mode is very similar to the human build of Poseidon and vas very fast to build. 

 Things that I did notice right away with this release it more metal to the figure, and not a lot of plastic.  Sure it still has some mechanisms of last year’s figure but it’s not as bad as last year.  The object mode is a sight to see and a very beautiful addition.  Some people are even tempted to buy 2 figures because the object mode itself is as beautiful as the figure itself.

Now for the main course of this review; the figure was as easy to build as the object mode and took around the same time.  The color of the cloth looks fantastic and has a nice copper gold feel to it that most marine warriors have.  The figure feels solid and has a 50 to 50 percent of metal and plastic, which is a good balance compared to last year’s figure. 

The faces of the figure look great and do not feel bad made in any way.  The hair has movable tails on the side for them to move with the cloth which is an added bonus to me.  Overall this figure is far better than the actual figure of last year.
There was only one bad part about this figure.  When you try to sit him down on the thrown, the parts of the legs want to fall off from the figure so you have to be very careful with this kind of position.  It the last of my worries as most people will display him standing up, or in his object mode.  The thrown and the display thrown for the object mode are a very solid addition to the figure.  As you will see in some pictures, they look fantastic as they should.

         Overall the figure gets a solid 10 from me, it a better improvement from last years and very well made figure.  You can tell that they were trying to improve the quality of the figure and the figure for a 12 inch scale looks fantastic.  I would recommend to buy this figure right away if you are able to.

Saint Seiya Myth Cloth Ex Andromeda Shun

Over the past months, we have seen a major improvement over the EX line and how people are little by little liking the figures more and more.  This is a great step forward for Bandai and a great product for us consumers.  The time has come for another much loved character to step in the Myth Cloth EX line and that is Andromeda Shun.  Over the past months we have seen many pictures and a lot of people were not very convinced this figure was going to be good compared to the other figures.  Well today we will find out if this is the truth or it’s just a myth.

         So we are going to look at the box and the package right now.  The box is a standard myth cloth ex figure box with the plastic cardboard on top with the figure itself and the object mode showing on the sides.  On the front we also have the constellation of Andromeda on the back of the figure.  On the back we have the figure itself with many poses and some pictures of the object mode.  This is very standard with all the EX boxes and its nothing new we have not seen.  When you take off the plastic cover you can see the Pandora’s Box of Andromeda with a gray kind of color like on the anime.  

When we open the package we have 3 buster cards.  On buster number 1, we got the figure itself with most of the normal armor.  

Buster number 2 has the skeleton of the object mode and the rest of the parts of the normal cloth armor for the figure.  

On buster number 3, we have all the broken armor and the rest of the faces of the figure.  We also have all the hands which in total should be around 12 to 14 hands for the figure.  We can also see the chains which come with real chains and some plastic ones.  If you ever owned a myth cloth of Andromeda Shun, you already know how this works.

         Now the object mode was very easy.  As you know this armor is very light on parts so it took around 5 minutes to make the armor.  The only difficult part was to put the chains on the arm sockets.  Because they are very loose to put on, they would fall off very easily.  This is not a deal breaker but it’s just a minor nuisance to deal with.  Other than that, the figures’ object mode is fantastic and very well made, 10 out of 10 for me. 

         Now making the figure was as easy as the object mode, very simple to put on and very simple to build.  The faces of the figure are fantastic and they look wonderful.  Some people were very worried about the faces but I have to say every face has great detail and they all look great, even the crying one.  I think out of the all Ex line, the Andromeda faces have been the best of the lot, with all of them being spectacular.  

And if you have collected the bronze saints EX before, you know they come with an extra set of broken armor.  The broken armor feels heavier but in no way or fashion the figure looks wrong.  Both sets have great detail and are very well made.  

The figure comes with real chains and something nice that added with the figure is that the chains come in rings, and not part of the armor, so they can be added separately which other myth cloth figures did not have this feature.  Overall the figure is great with a great look over all and I have to say it’s one of the best myth cloth EX figures up to date so far.

Saint Seiya Myth Cloth Alioth Fenrir Review

One of the most iconic figures of the Saint Seiya Asgard Line would be the Alioth Fenrir Figure made by Bandai in 2008.  This figure is one of the most beautiful figure made of that series and in many ways outclass the whole line.  But to be fair, most of the line of the Asgard gods is a class above the rest in looks and armor.  Today we are going to review the Myth cloth figure and see if this figure from the 2008 line comes up as one of the best looking figures in the line.

 

         We first have to look at the box.  The box is a book style kind of package and it has the sky color box as most myth cloth of the Asgard series is.  In the front we have the picture of the figure itself and on the back of the figure we have the animated form of the figure.  After that, on the side we see it says “Saint Cloth Myth” and on the bottom it says Epsilon Robe.  The back of the box we can see the figure itself doing many poses, we see the figures wolf like buddy companion and we see the object mode.  When we open the package we see on the right side we have the figure itself with most of the armor, and he has a total of eight hands.  On the right side of the box we have the object mode skeleton, the wolf buddy, and the rubber skirt that the figure has.  The instruction manual is very simple and explains how to do the object mode and how to arm the figure.  This part of the review is almost the same with most reviews I have done so you know what to expect when you open the package.

         As soon as you build the object mode, you can see this figure is well constructed.  All the parts are very stable on the object mode with no moving parts.  The aesthetic of the figure is very nice and the dark blue with light blue combination is one to die for.  Reviewing the Wolf buddy this figure has, it has very nice sculpture to it, it’s made very well but it does not have articulation as some figures due.  But even so, the buddy wolf is very well made and will look great next to Fenrir. 

         Now looking at the figure, the figure itself is stunning.  There were some problems in building the skirt area, as it has rubber that it didn’t want to stay in place.  With careful manipulation and great responses, you be able to insert the skirt with no problems.  Another problem that I had with the figure is that the claws in the hands do interfere with the insertion of the hands and you can easily stab yourself trying this. Be very careful when doing this part of the figure and take precautions.  Other than those 2 incidents the figure is great, it has the head, waist, and the claws on the hand as plastic and the rest is die cast metal.  The 2 head pieces look great on the figure and give a great feel for both display pieces.  The hair is very well made and the sculpture of the face is fantastic.  The hair does feel very flexible so be very careful not to over exert the part.  Overall the figure has great looks and the flexibility of the figure is normal for a myth cloth and I give this figure a solid 9.5 out of 10.

         Other than some few setbacks, the figure is amazing, it will look great with your collection and its one that any saint seiya fan will love.  No matter how you think about it, this is definitely one of the Asgards fines robes it has out to date.  It is one figure that can’t be missed in your collection

Saint Seiya Saint Cloth Myth Harpy Valentine

It has been a long time since we had a hades figure come our way.  As I was finished with all my hades collection I was wondering when they would release a new figure for the series, and they did that on the year 2012.  It was a surprise they did Harpy, as it does not play a major role in the old saint seiya universe.  As some of the new fans of saint seiya, they know Harpy from the lost canvas episodes, but for us old people, those series don’t count.  But today we are going to review the new myth cloth and see if this figure is up to the standards of today’s saint seiya market.

          Starting with the box, the box is a purple black color as most hades figures are.  It has a picture of the figure itself on the front with the shot of the object mode on the bottom.  On the side it says “Saint Cloth Myth” and on the bottom it says “Harpy Spector”.  This box is a book style kind of package as the myth cloth are known for and loved all over the world.  On the back it’s kind of plain with not a lot of shots of the figure.  It shows you the figure with his helmet, or face piece, his cloth on, the object mode, and the figure doing some action poses. 

          As you open the package you see this figure has a standard 2 buster plates.  On the left side, we have the figure with all his armor and hands.  On the right side we have the wings with the skeleton of the object mode, and a small buster that is separated from the plate that contains the chest and small pieces for the waist part.  The manual is very straight forward and it’s not very hard to follow.  In fact, this is one of the first myth cloths from the hades chapter that was a very easy manual to follow as there is really no science to arm the figure.

          As I build the object mode it was easy.  The manual was straight forward and it was very easy to do.  In total I think I spend almost 10 minutes making the object mode, it’s that easy.  The object mode looks very elegant and very nice to look at.  It is a bit big around 7 inches when you extend the wings, but overall this object mode was very simple but very classy to look at.  Building the figure itself was very easy as well.  I say it took the same amount of time to do the figure as it did with the object mode.  The figure looks fantastic and it has a lot of die cast metal on his body.  One thing you do have to be aware is that this figure has a lot of sharp edges as he has many spikes or claws all over his armor.  Be very careful when you keep this on reach of children as they are very sharp, and they can stab themselves if they are not careful.  The armor is fantastic and it does not have major issues.  The wings are plastic and can extend if you pose them right.  You start noticing balance issues when you extend the wings, but this is only natural when you shift the point of balance of the figure.  The figure looks fantastic, the combination of black and dark purple looks great, as all specters do.  The parts that are metal in this figure are his arms, legs, chest, and the mid part of the skirt.  The plastic parts of this figure are the face piece, the waist, some parts on the arm, and the spikes on the hands and the wings.  Overall this figure is just a great addition to your collection.  He does come with a swappable face that it’s screaming, but due to the fact that I don’t like that face that much, I did not put it on my figure.

          This figure has a great feel to it.  He is one of the most simple to make and very fast to do figures when you put his armor on. If you are just starting to collect saint seiya, I totally recommend getting this one for yourself to get a taste of the collection.  In total I have to give this figure a 9.5/10.  Sure there are some balance issues with the extensions of the wings but overall this figure is just perfect.  From his wild hair to his awesome armor, this figure is one for the ages.
