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.
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.
