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
