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.
