Pisces Aphodite Review


Beauty, excellence and perfection, those are the first things you think when you think of Pisces Aphrodite.  The self-proclaimed most beautiful man alive is now on figure for use to enjoy from the gold saints of saint seiya. This was made in 2006 which was the first year Bandai started to perfect there figures sculpture to look like the anime, and this figure is one of the most perfected figures in that year.
          As we take a look at the box, we see that the box display is like the old saint seiya myth with the picture of the character in anime from and the picture of the completed cloth on the side.  On the side of the box we see the figures zodiac sign and it’s says saint cloth myth and on the bottom it says Pisces cloth.  On the back you see Pisces doing his signature move which is royal demon rose, and they show you many ways to pose the figure, they show you the exchangeable roses and faces this figure has and they show you the figure with and without the helmet.  The package is a book style kind of package and when you open the box you see a window display, showing the figure and the object skeleton on the figure. On the top on the edge it says gold saint and on the bottom it says Aphrodite like most myth cloth that have come out on that year.  But it’s now to see the figure more in person.

        As we take the plates out of the box we see Plate A or the left side of the box.  We see the figure its self and most of the cloth parts.  This figure has a total of 8 hands with two hands that can hold roses.  The figure also shows different hair styles for one with the helmet on and one without it.  As my personal opinion he came out without the hair most of the time he was a gold saint so I’m going to display him that way.  On side B, you see most of the skeleton for the object mode, some parts for the cloth like the waist and the base for the object mode.  The instructions are very simple and very straight forward in explanation with simple numbered instructions.  It also comes with a light purple cape for the figure with the instructions, a nice touch by Bandai.  And now it is time to put the figure in its object mode.


          The first thing I noticed on this figure is that it is the first figure that used all the parts of the cloth to do the object mode.  Almost both plates are empty when I did the object mode in exception of the hands and faces and hairs.  You use the helmet, shoulders, and even the skirt on the figure; it is a great, very well placed parts on the object mode that made it a pleasure to build.  The object mode looks very solid and it’s a bit heavy as well.  The base of the object mode has a Pisces sign on it and a great figure.  A lot of object modes don’t have this feature to make the cloth use all the parts, then some of the gold saint cloth forms look very naked you can say. But this figure is the exception to the cause, every part is used and it looks great.  But now it’s time to put this figure on its human form


          As what you expect of Aphrodite you get, the head sculpture is great and very beautiful, the hair is dynamic as it can be and the armor uses 2 tones of gold. A lot of the cloth is die cast metal with the exception of the waist, the hands, and the helmet.  The figure looks perfect and a bit short to keep in in scale with the other gold saints.  The face is what gets me the most, the attention to detail is magnificent with just a bit of pink on the lips, and it’s perfect.  It’s like staring at the real person in the face, well the animation great design and great features.  It’s not that heavy in human form, and articulation is not disturbed in any way.  It is a great figure to see with your
eyes.




 
From perfection to excellence, the thing you think about when they say Aphrodite is what you get, pure perfection.  The way the face comes out like its alive and the way the figure looks very classy, you are getting yourself a great gold saint.  I give this figure a perfect 10 but if I could I could give it a 20, it’s that good.  You won’t regret this buy because I didn’t and it’s perfect as you can see yourself.
Thank you to ishop2go for letting me review this figure and remember GO OUT AND BUY IT!!!

Saint Seiya Myth Cloth Scopio Milo Appendix Review

In many occasions and many situations Scorpio Milo was one that was most involved in the Saint Seiya stores, he have seen him in many parts of the series and playing important roles. Some people say he is a very aggravating character in the series but some people love the character. So after so long that the figure has been in the market since 2005 and the appendix was release around the 2008 year, I was able to get my hands on both of these great collectors’ items, so let’s go over the appendix today.


As soon as I have the box in my hands I could see that is really well made. You have the completed appendix on the front and a little preview of how it would look on the cloth itself. You have the Bandai logo on the bottom right corner and the toie sticker on the top left corner. This box is a window type of package with a flap covering the window and on the side of the box it says “Saint Cloth Myth” and on the bottom it says “Scorpio Milo Appendix”. When you see the back you see the many poses you can put the appendix in, serious and the Athena exclamation form, the types of faces you are going to get, and what other appendix go with this line, which are Leo Aioria and Aries Mu. So as we open the flap of the figure you can see on the inside of the flap the same information you had on the back of the box, and you see the window with the beautifully made faces and hair sculpts. It is a sight to see and it takes you breath away as soon as you see it. So it’s time to take it out of the package.
So as we see the package you see the first plate and you can see the 2 face sculpts, the different hands it comes for the cloth, the waist, and chest and face parts for the face mask. All the parts are made to perfection and the amount of detail you can see on this is a testament to what they were trying to do, perfect the figure. On the second plate you see the stand for the appendix, the back of the hairs and the tail for the face peace, again a very well made to perfection hairs and face it was to exited to see them in my hands. The instruction manual is very small just going over the details of how to put it in the stand, how to switch faces, and how the put the new parts in the old myth cloth figure. So it’s time to put the figure together.


When I was putting the figure together I did come with some problems trying to flush the hairs together, they tend to just pop off the face but with a bit of adjusting that is a very easy problem to fix. Other than that there are no complications. There are 2 ways to display this appendix, in his serious face with just his face peace on and his armor, or the Athena exclamation form with his hands doing the pose and without his face piece and with his screaming face. Both poses are great and very easy to assemble, a lot of the parts are made for the cloth and are not used in the appendix like a lot of the hands and waist parts of the cloth but all the parts are made to perfection. The face expressions are excellent and the ways this armor and cloth parts are sculpted are great. I have no complains and when I put this parts on the old myth I’m pretty sure it will make me go wow even more. All the appendix are made of plastic and to no surprise this is plastic as well, but the plastic is made to perfection, it’s a great addition to any collection, I’m in love with this and you should totally get this appendix.


The new parts for this cloth are great and new faces are a very well welcome addition to any myth cloth. This appendix was done with the sole purpose to bring the old Scorpio Milo cloth to its new generation standards for Bandai. From the perfect anime faces to the great detail the cloth has, this is very well done appendix. I give this appendix a perfect 10+ and you should totally buy it. Colors are perfect, the faces, and even the stand is very well made. As a product, by itself it stands alone and a very nice addition to any collection. So you should definitely try to pick it up.
Thanks to ishop2go for letting me review this figure and like always GO OUT AND BUY IT!!
