Saint Seiya Myth Cloth Ikki Phoenix V1 Review

Saint Seiya characters have been the most memorable characters to my childhood. One character that I remember with all his glory is Ikki phoenix when he shows up and takes the Sagittarius cloth from the tournament. It was one of the most special moments of that series in the beginning cause even though he was evil, a lot of people liked the character. And the fact that he was the brother of Shun well that made it one character of the ages.

As we look at the box, you can see this is a standard Saint Seiya box with the exception that the figure is on the front, and the object mode as well, with no animated form on the background only a phoenix star constellation. We see the Bandai logo on the corner and the toei sticker of the specific region in the front as well. This is a book style kind of package and on the side it says “Saint Cloth Myth” and on the bottom it says “Phoenix Cloth” with a simple of the phoenix in the middle. On the back of the box we have the figure doing many poses and the object mode as well. They show you the many faces you can get with the figure and some poses you can display it as. On the corner of the box we see the display of the figure in black and white which is a great addition to me as I love the way Bandai does it. As you open the book style box, you can see the 2 window displays on the inside and nothing on the edges. Now let’s look at the package inside.

As we look at the package inside as we see on the left side, we see the plate with the figure itself and most of the phoenix cloth parts. This figure has a total of 8 hands and the figure layout is the same as the black phoenix box if you have that figure. The instruction manual also comes on this side as well. On the right side of the package you have the object mode skeleton and with an extra face, some parts of the cloth and the phoenix wings for the object mode or the character. So let’s put this figure on its object mode.

As you put the figure on its object mode, you can see it is very easy to build just like the black phoenix cloth. Basically they are the same in every way. The only thing that is different from both cloths is the colors and the faces. The object mode is fast to make and looks as great as the black phoenix one. The original colors of phoenix makes this object mode one of the ages and it looks great in so many levels. So let’s go to the figure itself.

As we review the figure, the figure has the same range of motion as of the black phoenix. When you put the cloth on the figure this figure is one of the best ones. The colors look the same as the anime, the figure is great sculpted, and the face is made to perfection. As you look at the figure, it looks like the exact replica of the character itself. They also included a hair piece to the figure that goes under the helmet for it to show on the front covering his eyes. This is a new edition to the figure because the black phoenix did not have this on that character. It is somewhat difficult in the start to put that piece on the helmet, but after a couple of times the figure is easier to close on the helmet. Overall as with the black phoenix this figure gets a perfect 10. There was one issue with the cloth and that it lays on the waist. It is a very loose part. Maybe they wanted to fix the parts popping of on the black phoenix with a bit of a loose skirt on this one. But it’s nothing major, if you take care of this figure and don’t play with it, the waist will be fine.

Overall this figure is one for the ages. The sculpture and articulation is great, the hair of the figure is made to perfection, and they captured the colors of this cloth 100%. I totally recommend this one to any saint seiya collector, and to the hardcore collectors this is a definite must buy.

I want to thank ishop2go for letting me review this figure and remember… GO OUT AND BUY IT!!!

Saint Seiya Myth Cloth Leo Aioria Appendix Review

Since the beginning I started collecting saint Seiya figures one figure that I always had in mind was Leo Aioria. Searching endlessly for this figure was one of my priority since I started this collection. It was not the cloth itself but the actual appendix of this figure that drove recruiting and we’re reviewing it today. It is a collector’s dream to have this appendix and his hands, and it’s a great pleasure in honor for me to do this review today.

One thing they always catch my attention of this appendix was the beauty of it all. So as we look at the front of the box we have a shot of the appendix doing the Athena exclamation and a small picture of the figure with the appendix on the background. On the side of the box we see it says saint cloth myth and on the bottom it says Leo Aioria appendix. On the back of the box we have the figure doing many poses and it shows you the accessories the figure has to offer. As we open the inside of the box we see that it has a nice window display and it shows you all the accessories and parts are comes with. On the trim of the box we see on top it says saint Seiya myth cloth and on the bottom it says Leo Aioria appendix.

Looking at the inside of the box we see the instruction Manual and one plate for this figure. On the plate you see it has three faces, one of the screaming face look into the side, and other one is screaming straight forward with red eyes, and the last one is a serious face of the figure. It has replacement parts for the waist, chest shoulders, and arms for the original myth cloth which is a really nice addition to this appendix. The instruction Manual is nothing complicated it just shows you how to put the appendix together and how to put it on the figure.

Now assembling this appendix has very easy and when it’s done it’s a work of art. The hair is not dark brown but a gold light brown mix. It fits very well with two figure and the actual faces are very well sculpted. The feeling you get when you’re assembling this appendix is great. The face peace when you put it on the hair in on the face is a total work of art, and just looking at it makes you feel like it’s the actual character in front of you. Now swapping the parts with the actual myth cloth is not very hard. The instruction Manual shows you that you have to assemble the chest, the shoulders, and the waist on the figure. Keep in mind are swapping plastic with metal. At the end the whole upper torso is replaced with plastic parts of the appendix and the only metal parts that are left of the actual cloth are the bicep parts, the waist, and all the legs. Overall the actual cosmetic value of this appendix to this cloth is tremendous. This drastically changes the look of the figure to a more modern Leo Aioria figure. Overall this is a must recommendation for this cloth. Many will debate on why you would have to buy this appendix if the new EX Leo Aioria is coming out this October of the year 2011. I would say to them that this is the cloth and started it all on a myth cloth collection on the year 2004. It would be an injustice to not try to get this figure even after a new figure is coming out. So many people have bough this cloth and one in an improvement and the appendix gave it that. This appendix have been the most sort out appendix in the history of saint Seiya and for you to miss out on one of the greatest appendix that Bandai ever made for this line would be an injustice just because of a new figure.

So I give this appendix a complete 10, it has the looks as the upgrades, and it just has character. This is a definitely must buy and I know they are very limited in number. I even know that this myth cloth appendix in some parts of the world is impossible to get, and that is why this appendix is so special. But I want to thank I Ishop2go for letting me review this appendix today; it has been a great honor.

And remember everybody, go out and buy it.


Bandai Saint Seiya Saint Cloth Myth Appendix - Leo Aiolia

Saint Seiya Myth Cloth Scylla IO Review

From time to time we have seen animation from the greatest things to the mire disappointments. The time has gone for saint Seiya when it was hitting the Poseidon saga we have seen many characters to this day. One of the most interesting characters that I saw on that saga was Scylla I O. Due to the fact that he is a villain in the series a lot of people did not like this character. But he was one of the greatest fighters on the Poseidon saga. As part of the myth cloth, he is one of the most beautiful myth cloth out there up to date. Now we’re going to review the figure.

As we take a look at the box, we could see that the box is really nicely colored. Has the green marine color to it and you see the picture of the character in the front. You also have the display of the figure all cloth up in the front as well. You have the Bandai logo on the corner and you have the toei sticker in the top. As you see in the side of the box this is a book style kind of package and on the top it says saint cloth myth and on the bottom it says Scylla cloth. And you have a picture of the object mode in the middle. As we look at the back of the box you see the figure doing the pose and he’s doing one of his powers you see many ways this figure is great and you see the figure with and without the face peace. As we open the box in the middle we see two window displays and we see that on the top it says general and on the bottom it says I O. So now that we looked at the box we are going to review what’s inside the box.

The left side has the figure itself and most of the cloth parts. You see the figure with mostly black body and different sets of hands. As we could tell right away the face sculpture is gorgeous, the figure attracts my eyes instantly with a tremendous amount of detail it has. We’re looking at the right side of the box package ally could see most of the skeleton form of the object mode, we also see but the cloth on this side as well. We could see parts of the chest and skirt on the side as well. The Manual is very easy to look at it is not a very complicated instructions. All is numbered and has very easy to follow. One thing that I did find interesting is that a lot of the instructions do not focus on the object mode. Clearly the object mode is one of the most complicated object modes of the built to date. Now let’s put this figure in its object mode.

It sells building the object mode I did notice a lot of parts were very loosely put in place. Object mode is not hard to make but it does take patients. The most difficult part or on the top of the object mode is where you put the chest part of the woman on the top of the object mode. But other than that is a very beautiful object mode. You could see the amount of detail it went into it. The sculpture is great and every part fits to perfection. You could tell there are many kinds of animals mixed on this cloth as if you did not know Scylla is a mix of animals from bat to snake it is very ingenious to include all this parts to the object mode. Overall I give the object mode an automatic 10. You cannot complain of the amount of work and love it went on this figure. But we have spent a lot of time on the object mode. Now we’re gonna move to the figure itself.

As I was putting the figure together I could tell the amount of work is going to be. The chest is divided into halves and is very difficult put on. The chest also includes the bottom part of the waist which has to connect to the top parts of the chest. This was very challenging for me, the amount of effort and time to align the parts is in no question one of the longest I have done. It is very frustrating for the parts to stay in place but most of the time they pop up from each other. As soon as you finish this process you can enjoy the cloth. All the arms are die cast metal with the exception of the plastic parts on the top of the arms. These parts on top of the arms are very sharp so as not recommended for children. The legs as well are all die cast metal and the knees are die cast metal as well. The chest on the top part are both metal and the face piece is plastic as well with the shoulders. The cloth looks tremendous; it has great sculpture and very little defects. One of the selling points that got me attracted to this figure was the face sculpture. The hair of tremendous detail and is very dynamic. From the shoulders to a bottom it looks great and the addition of the wings that he has in the back gives it a great look. The wings are also plastic and they could move up and down and side to side. Overall it’s a great figure and it deserves your attention.

From the beautiful object mode to the tremendous figure mode this figure does not fail to disappoint. He has

tremendous amount of features and the look of the figure is great. A lot of parts of the myth cloth are plastic due to the fact that there’s a lot of parts that have unique shapes that cannot be molded to metal. Overall the only frustrating thing that this figure as against it is the fact that the chest and the waist are too hard to put together. In my experience building this myth cloth this took around 30 minutes to complete. It should not take this long and the instructions should be more clear. But overall this figure is a 10 out of 10 from the amount of detail to the amount of love this is a great figure to have in your collection.

I want to thank I Ishop2go for letting me review this great figure And remember go out and buy it。

Saint Seiya myth cloth Pegasus Seiya appendix plain clothing

A lot of the series in saint Seiya we see Pegasus Seiya in his plain clothing and is one of the most memorable moments of the saint Seiya history when he goes into battle. We always see him with his red shirt and a lot of people love this fact about seiya. Now with the new appendix that Bandai produced we have those fantasies come true. But now let’s look at the box.

The box is a standard appendix box, it is gray color with a tone of strong and light grays. On the front of the box we see the animated form of Seiya, you see the figure itself with all his clothing and the Pandora’s box of the cloth. You also see in the front in miniature size Pegasus object mode. You could say this a book style kind of package but it is not. It only has a flap in the front that you could open to see the window display of the figure. On the side of the box it says saint cloth myth appendix Pegasus Seiya plain clothes. The back of the box we see Pegasus Seiya doing the pose and him having the Pandora’s box on his back. And that’s basically it for the box.

As we look in the inside of the package we see the figure itself with four sets of hands, one pandora’s box, and four straps. The instructions are very simple and very easy to follow with only a one page length of instructions. This cloth only has one plate and very simple due to the fact that the figure does not mean armor. As like in the back of the box we also see the miniature object mode and the plate as well. So as you can see not a lot of parts on this figure so let you do the figure itself.

So looking at the Pandora’s box it is made of plastic. We also see the local cloth of Pegasus sign on the front of the box and it has some handles when he’s carrying it. The box is a chrome gray and the detail on the box is great. Looking at the miniature object mode there’s a lot of detail on this figure. From the amount of color eyes to the yellow on some parts it is a great replica of the actual size object mode. Now we’re moving on with the figure and looking at this figure the sculpture on the face is great. I have stated this point many times the figures face makes it or breaks it. This figures face is tremendous and the amount of detail it went to the face is gorgeous. It has captured the innocence of Seiya in figure form. As you look into the figure eyes, for some reason this figure looks real. The amount of detail it went on his clothing is great as well. Pants and shirt are made of this rough cloth that is very doable. On the front of the box you could see that the clothing fits very well with the figure. But as you see your copy when you have it in your hands the clothing is a little bit loose but not a lot. The amount of detail when his arms and shoes is great and especially on shoes. Overall I give this figure a perfect 10. There are some things that was really disappointing and that’s that the figure cannot support his box. Like on the back of the box you could see Pegasus Seiya holding his cloth box on his shoulders and he was able to stand. I have tried this pose many times but of the box is too heavy for the figure. It would’ve been a nice touch if the figure was able to hold the box but that’s why they give you a stand connector to support the box.

This figure is great in many ways but what took me away were the face sculpture and the clothing. The amount of love it went to this appendix and the little details is what counts the most. Would’ve been nice if he was able to hold the box, but is not bad after all. Like this at this figure gets an automatic 10 and you should go buy it today.

I would like to thank I Ishop2go for letting me review this figure and remember everybody go out and buy it.

Saint Seiya Myth Cloth God of Death Thanatos Review

From the time we saw those last episodes of saint seiya, to now after 20 or more years, the characters that came out of 2 or 3 episodes were Hypnos and Thanatos. As you know Hypnos is the god of sleep, and Thanatos is the God of Death. Together they protect the entrance to the chamber of the body of hades. Even though this character did not come out as much as one could ask for, they did make a great impression on the Saint Seiya Community as a whole. And today we are going to review this figure for everyone to enjoy.

The box is way bigger than a standard saint seiya box and in the front you see the figure itself, the animated form and the object mode all in the front. The Bandai logo on the corner, and the toei sticker of its respective manufacturing region; On the side of the box we see it says “Saint Cloth Myth” and on the bottom it says “Thanatos”. The back of the box we see the figure playing his harp and with his robe on. A great diorama display for Thanatos here and you have many poses of the figure, the object mode, and the different stuff you can put on the figure. When you open the package you see is a 2 sided window package and on the top of the trim it says “God who controls death” and on the bottom trim it says “Thanatos”. Overall this figure is looking great and now we are going to see the package inside.

The inside of the package is very interesting we have the figure and the cloth parts on the left side, with the instruction manual and the cloth robe on this figure. On the right side of the package we have most of the skeleton of the object mode and the big wings of the character on a different plate. The skeleton on the object mode looks more of a human form instead of some sort of bird, which will make the object mode build faster to make. Now let’s review the object mode.

As I suspected the object mode is very easy to build and very fast, it has a human form of the object mode and every part of the cloth goes on this object mode. The object mode is massive in size and very well made. The object mode weight is very well supported with a star stand the figure comes with and the wings don’t make this figure heavy at all in this object mode. Very well balanced and the colors look great with a dark night blue color going all over the cloth. Overall the object review he gets a 10 for great sculpture and effort.

Now that we finished the object mode review, it is now time to review the figure itself. When you put the parts on this figure, you can see it is very fast build even for a god cloth. If you have built saint seiya figures in the past, this should be a piece of cake. Most of the parts of this cloth are die cast metal in exception to the waist, the skirt parts, the shoulders, head, and the wings. The legs, arms, chest and feet are all die cast metal. The wings of this character make him very top heavy, but with the Hong Kong edition, it is not really an issue. I have reviewed the Latin American version before and the ankles of that figure were tremendously loose and the figure does the splits from time to time. But not this one, this one has solid ankles and very stable to pose with no stand at all. This figure also comes with a white robe for you to put him on with only the robe and his harp. The robe is made of very nice textures and it’s very well made. The wings are great and look magnificent. If you get each wing, you can see that each one of the wings moves, which is a great idea by Bandai. Overall this figure gets an automatic 10. Some people say this figure is a 9 and I cannot disagree with them. The most major problem I can see with this figure is the weight of the wings, but depending on what version you have that problem can be avoided.

So the two gods that made the saint seiya crew cry and almost die are in figure form now. The great sculpture and the attention to detail make this figure one that a collector must buy right now. The colors and the face sculpture are made to perfection and its one of the best god cloths out right now. All of the god cloths are good but between Hypnos and Thanatos, most people say Thanatos is the best of them.

I want to thank ishop2go for letting me review this figure and remember…. GO OUT AND BUY IT!!!

Bandai Saint Seiya Saint Cloth Myth Mellow Poison

Saint Seiya Myth Cloth Meiou Hades Review

Since I started watching Saint Seiya as a kid, I always wanted hades in my collection. Most of the god cloths were a dream around the 1990’s, and the the myth cloth at the time were big chunks of metal that looked like figures of metal and brick. How far we have come to this moment, from childhood to adulthood, I still remember those days. Now in 2011 we have most of the god cloths, and for every Saint Seiya fan out there, this new figure of Bandai is a dream come true. No matter how long it has been, if you ever loved Saint Seiya as a kid, you will fall in love with this figure

When I got this figure, the first thing you can see is the box. If you have been collecting saint seiya for a long time you can tell this box is very slim and not as fat as most of the hades god cloths. If you want to compare size you could compare it with the phoenix ikke god cloth box. With an almost 12 inch long display, 8 inch tall and almost 6 inches deep box, this box is one of the most slim god cloths out there. The box color is new to the hades line, making this the only box that has dark gray box cover, almost charcoal black for the box. Still it should be different cause this is one of the main characters of the store, like Athena in the story, they should have different boxes to show how important they are. The box art is great, with a good shot of hades in the front of the box and his animated form, im glad the box art in the front is great. The same you can say with the box art in the back. A lot of the backs in the Myth Cloth line have a lot of words in the back and explain about object mode and all the good stuff, not this one. It shows you a lot of pictures and little words, letting the images do the talking and they do that very well. Great Box layout overall.


When you open the package, the first thing you can see is the beauty of this figure, side A or the right side has most of the figures parts accessories. It also comes with a cape and the instruction manual for the figure. And also on side A you get the main base for the figure and object mode. As I have been telling you, it has a basic setup on the plate but as soon as you see the figure you will see the love you immediately start to have for it. It’s very well done. On side be on the plate and the package of the figure, you can see you have most of the object mode parts, you have the extra Seiya head and the extra god cloth Seiya chest piece. You have almost 3 types of swords, one for the object mode and 2 for the figure, they look incredible non the less. The package was great, so I decided to built the object mode and find out how it looked


To built this object mode you must have a lot of love and patience for this figure, it took more then 30 minutes to make this figure come to life. The instruction manual is color coded but some parts are hard to find on the manual and they got rid of the number system they had been using for so long to explain the structure of the figure. As you assemble it you will notice the great engineering it took to make this figure, it was a great object mode. When I was done finishing the object mode, I was in awww.

It was more than 10 inches tall, very stable and the most beautiful object mode I have ever seen. The pegs on the bottom of the legs are so stable that the figure didn’t need anything else to support the massive wings and heavy body. It was a great figure overall. It took my breath away and if I was a spending man, I would buy another hades figure just to have the object mode. It was so great, it was so stable, and it was so breathtaking you just wanted to keep it in that form. But as every good thing I wanted to build the figure now.

When I started to build the figure, you can tell how beautiful it was, the face is made to perfection, the hair is so nice and dynamic, and the armor is so much different than anything out there. And when you are done assembling the figure, you’re left in aww again. They give you many accessories like an extra head with its eyes closed; an extra hair for you can fit it with the helmet, Extra parts for the arms, and so many variations of the sword. It was great, the figure stands a great 8 inches tall, and it is very massive in size. One thing I did notice was that when it was fully armored I started having weight issues with the figure, started falling down and tilting over. So as this figure is concerned, this figure requires a base to stand on. The package itself has a base for the figure and easy instructions on how to put the base to the figure, it was very easy and the weight issues were gone. This figure is not made to have dynamic poses, but it’s a great figure to admire when it’s on your shelf. Most of this armor is die cast metal for the exception of the wings, the waist parts and parts of the chest. Overall this figure is very heavy but its great figure overall. The bonus they give you like the Seiya head and the chest piece for Seiya god cloth is a good touch, and they are made to perfection as well. I was very happy with this figure over all.

Overall I have a great experience making this figure; it was a very interesting build and a very interesting and beautiful experience. You might have a lot of weight issues with this figure and some falling parts but if you don’t move it that often and use the stand Bandai provided you with, I think you will be ok to display it. From dynamic colors of black and silver, to the great and beautiful sculpture of the figures face, this figure is a perfect representation of the hades I remember when I was a child. It feels like I’m looking at hades in my own home and its just a feeling that the wait of so many years for this figure, is finally paid of. I give this a 10 out of 10 review. It is an exceptional figure for the price.

I also want to thank Ishop2go for letting me review this great figure. I totally recommend it so go out and buy it.

Saint Seiya myth cloth zeta syd review

 

Since we started looking at the Asgard line we have the many reviews of figures are great. And now we have a great figure in front of us. The Saint Seiya myth cloth Zeta Mizar cloth from Bandai. As you all know this figure is one of twins of the saber tooth tigers. One is dark green and the other is a white silver color. As we watched the Asgard series we didn’t really get too much back story on these characters until the battle vs. the saints. But none the less all the figures of the Asgard series looked great. Now let’s review this figure.


This cloth is a book style kind of package and on the front of the box you see the figure itself and his animated form, the Bandai logo on the right corner, and the Toei sticker on the left upper corner. The box is a classic Asgard box with a dark blue color surrounding the box. This represents the sky color at night and it has constellations on top of the box. On the side of the box it says saint cloth myth and on the bottom it says zeta robe. On the back of the box we have the figure in many poses and showing his claws for hands. We also see the two types of helmets this figure has one without open jaw and one with a close jaw. It also shows you the saber tooth tiger object mode which is dark green color. Inside of the box we have a standard two sided window package and on the trims on top it says god warrior and on the bottom it says Syd. Now we’re gonna look at the package inside.


On the left side we have the figure itself and part of the cloth and you have two pairs of hands on this side as well. We also have a red cape on the back of this plate as well. On the right side we have most of the object mode skeleton and some parts of the cloth. We also have other six pairs of hands which makes a total of eight pairs of hands which is enough for me. We also have the instruction Manual on this side. On the instruction Manual you see there are a lot of instructions of how to make the object mode. There are not a lot of the instructions for the figure mode itself. But now let’s make the object mode and see how it looks.


Looking at the object mode we could see a great representation of the saber tooth tiger. The build is not that hard and the instructions were easy to follow. In standard this figure should take your no more than 15 minutes to complete and build the object mode. You get the object mode it has a dark green with a little bit of light green inside the parts which gives it a dynamic look. The fans are chrome silver and it has the addition of fangs to the helmet making them longer for the object mode. Looking at the object more you cannot really tell the skeleton from the cloth which is a great point when building an object mode. The figure looks like a saber tooth tiger ready to pounce on you. So the object mode itself gets an automatic 10. It has a great dynamic look and a great feel to it. But now it’s time to review the figure itself.


As you build the figure itself if you have built myth cloth before most of the parts go in their respective places. All the arms and all the legs are die cast metal and the chest die cast metal. The waist is plastic but the skirts are die cast metal. The helmet is plastic and the shoulders are a combination of die cast metal and plastic which gives it a great feel. Overall this figure solid, it has a great face sculpture and looks as plain as the anime. The only hard part and a very weird gimmick is that his ponytail attaches to the helmet. Which in most cases the ponytail attaches to the neck. This was a challenge for me as you could see on the pictures that the tail wouldn’t stay on the helmet. But after many tries I was able to keep the tail on the helmet. The red cape gives it a great look to the dark green saber tooth tiger of the figure. Overall the figure feels great and the sculpture is perfect. And the representation of this figure from the anime is a perfect match.


As you could see from beauty and posed ability this figure gets an automatic 10. Even though this could be not one of your favorite Asgard figures, this is still a great figure. From the beauty to the sculpture to the great amount of pose ability this figure is great. The dull colors makes with a light green and the red cape makes it one major display for your collection. The amount of hands it has from hands with claws two hands with no claws you has a major variety of choices of how to display this figure. Overall this figure is a must buy for any Saint Seiya fan.


I want to thank Ishop2go again for letting me review this figure and remember everybody go out and buy it.
