First of all let’s review the box and the package. The box is a book style kind of package but the color of the box is a very light pink. It also has the character in the front in his animated form and in his toy form as well. The side of the box is the same which has Saint Cloth Myth on the top and Kagaho on the bottom. The back of the box has the figure in many different poses and him doing some of his signature moves. When you open the box in the middle you see it has a double sided window package and on the top it says specter and on the bottom it says Bennu. So when you open the package, what you can notice is that the figure comes in 2 buster cards on each side. On the left side we have the figure itself with most of his armor, and on the small buster we have parts of the wings. On the right side of the package, we see the skeleton of the object mode, which is not a lot, and another small buster with the other wing this figure needs. The instruction manual is very complicated to read, and a lot of the instructions are very unclear, and that is not a good sign when we’re talking about myth cloth.
So starting with the object mode, this figure is a disaster. The object mode does not balance well and there is no stand to put the object mode on. The wings make it super heavy and the figure rocks back and forth all the time. On normal wooden countertops or plastic, this figure will not be stable at all. I was lucky to have him on a soft base that the claws of the feet could dig in and stabilize the figure. The wings are very fragile and they try to pop off when you are not careful or extend them too much. As for the figure, it had the same problems. He was very top heavy and he is always trying to do the splits. Because the wings are too heavy for the figure, the top part goes back and the figure is not stable at all. The only way I was able to get this figure to balance was to put him on a base in the air and that is a big maybe. The figure cannot sustain the weight it has on the body and this spells disaster. The figure is mostly made of some die cast and a lot of plastic. The shoulders, arms and legs are die cast metal, and some parts of the skirt. The head, wings and other parts on his body like the waist are plastic. Even though the wings are plastic, they are very heavy and they don’t look good when you have to spread them to balance the figure.
Overall this figure is not for the faint of heart. This figure has been the first saint seiya figure out of around 150 that I truly didn’t like at all. It does have good points like the visuals look like the animation, the sculpture is great, but after that, it’s all downhill from there. I would say to not buy this figure if your brand new to the series, make sure if you are going to buy it, you have experience already with other myth cloths, or that you really know how to deal with this figure. Overall this figure gets 7 out of 10 for me. This figure has become very disappointing. Don’t get me wrong, the figure is great in its own right; just make sure you know what you’re buying before you complain.
