Saint Seiya Myth Cloth EX Sagittarius Aiolos Review



         There are many figures that the EX line has put out in the market but there are some that fans are waiting to get.  With the defects that the saint seiya myth cloth of Sagittarius had in the past, people are looking to the new model to maybe replace that gap or that defective figure of the 2005 series, and they finally got the chance to get the new EX model.  Will it be enough to take the figure community by storm?  Let’s find out today!



         So the box for this figure is a standard EX box with nothing special. The figure has a plastic cover with the picture of the figure on the front, some positions on the back, and the object mode on the sides while they are surrounded by stars.  When you take that cover off, you can see the box is a solid gold color and looks like the Pandora’s Box for Sagittarius.  You have the warning signs and all on the bottom and that is it for the box.

         The contents inside the box are the same as most other EX figure, buster 1, has the figure itself, with some parts of the armor.  

Buster 2 has the skeleton of the object mode and some parts of the armor as well. 
And finally buster 3, has the faces for the figure, has the cape and the wings, the hands and the second head of Pegasus seiya if you want to display him that way.  The instruction manual is a very simple process, they go more into detail about he object mode and the wings as they are the focal points of the figure itself.


         As you build the object mode, you can see the solid state it has.  This figure has very solid wings and they don’t fall off when you put them in the object mode.  The figure can stand perfectly as the object with no help and all the parts are used in the object mode which is a nice thing to see.  Object mode is a beautiful feature for this figure and have to give it a perfect 10 for the object mode.

         Now as we look at the figure, the faces it has to replace are spectacular, articulation of the figure is superb as always with any figure of the myth cloth line, and the aesthetic of the figure is fantastic.  There are some things that did catch my eye as the head piece and the skirt were very light in color but as a fan stated, the figure Is true to the animation.  This is a concerning part for the figure, as most people do not know this figure has different color tones. 


As with other releases of the saint seiya line, people have seen the armor in one solid color and not in 2 color tones.  As most casual saint seiya collectors will not know the difference on this matter, they will say it’s a defect on the figures part.  Other thing that you can tell is the color difference of metal and plastic, there is just a small difference with these parts but they are not as noticeable as they were before when they were showing the figure in fares and stuff like that.  The figures wings are another focal point, and I have to say these wings are solid.  They do not move very easily and they do not fall like the appendix wings we got with the myth cloth version.  One thing against this is that if you do not have enough space, these wings will take up a lot of your display room, still the figure looks great with a cape as well.


         Overall the figure is a must buy for any saint seiya fan, the figure is solid and a much needed improvement for the figure.  I give this figure a 9.5 out of 10 just for the fact that they do not explain to the fans were the color changes are coming from, and they expect everybody to know.

Thanks to iShop2go for letting me review this figure.
