Saint Seiya Myth Cloth Libra Dohko Review

Many fans love this cloth with a passion, but the only Libra cloth that we ever got before the EX will be released is the 2005 Libra from the myth cloth line.  Needless to say we know that the first gold saints were not perfect and this cloth is one of the worst, but what makes it bad that people just want to display the object mode of this figure?  Let’s find out today!

         The box is a standard myth cloth box with the figure on the front with the animated picture behind him.  The box is a book style kind of package and on the side it says saint cloth myth and on the bottom it says Libra Cloth.  The back has a standard display of the figure and parts of the object mode.  The box is the standard gold color most gold saints had at the time.

         Opening the package, each side had 2 busters, on side number one we had the figure itself with parts of the armor, and on the back there were some weapons for the weapons Libra has on the object mode.  On side number 2 we have the skeleton of the object mode and the face of Dragon Shiryu if you want to put the cloth with his face on it.  You also had another layer with most weapons for the cloth.  The manual is very short and to the point, as most cloths of 2005 had very big parts and they were simple to make.

         No building the object mode was a lot of fun.  It has very different mechanism than any other gold myth cloth and you can tell that they spend a lot of their time to perfect this mode.  The object mode gets a solid 10 for me as it’s a very nice display piece.

         Now building the figure the first thing you will see is that the face is just wrong.  It looks horrible and the figure just is very unstable at the ankles.  The figure has very big parts and a lot of metal.  The only parts I can see that are plastic is the head helmet, the outside of the shields, the bottom parts of some weapons, and that’s about it.  The rest is a massive solid piece of metal that the ankles of a generation 1 myth cloth body cannot handle.  Also the shields seem to me very big for the figure, they look fantastic for the object mode, but they do not look good on the figure itself.  

All the weapons as well are metal and this makes the figure even heavier, needless to say, the figure had balance and weight issues all the time and was not able to stand for a long time.  The shape of the feet does not help as well, as they are pointy as the animation, but they do not distribute the weight evenly upon completion of the figure.

         So it seems that I’m just complaining of the figure, but the figure has its good qualities.  As the object mode, this figure is beautiful and I think this figure was meant to be on the object mode.  The figure mode is very unstable and not recommended to have.  If you’re going to have this figure up for display, I recommend to wait for the human form of the EX line and have this figure as an object mode, as it looks way better.

Saint Seiya Myth Cloth EX Virgo Shaka Review

For Many years, people have known the name of Virgo Shaka as one of the most important gold saints in the series.  With the release of the 2005 Virgo Shaka for the Myth Cloth line, people were kind of disappointed with the fact that the figure was really badly made.  Bandai corrected this issue with the release of the appendix of the Virgo Shaka with very satisfying results.  But after many years, a lot of people have not been able to get their hands on this one of a kind figure for their collections and they are now looking for a replacement for this iconic character, and that’s what the EX version brings to the table.  Does this figure live up to the expectations of the fans?  Let’s find out today.

         The box is a standard box with the normal plastic covering on the Pandora’s Box of Virgo Shaka.  In the front we can they see the figure itself and the constellation of Virgo.  Next we can see on the sides of the box the object mode and the figure itself doing one if his iconic powers with the green glow all around it.  On the back of the box we can see the figure, the object mode, and the many ways you can pose the figure.  It shows you the five faces it has and how very well they look with the figure.  When you take of the cover you can see the normal Pandora’s Box layout of the box with the Virgo symbol on the box.

         When you open the box, you have a total of 4 buster cards the figure comes with.  On buster number one we can see the figure itself, parts of the arms, legs, and chest of the figure.  

Buster 2 and 3 come together and we can see the object mode skeleton, the base for the sitting position of the figure, some parts of the helmet and the waist and the rosaries it has when he is in the hades chapter of the series.  

On buster number 4, we can see the cape, the other four faces it comes with and 14 hands which let you pose the figure in whatever iconic position you wish.  It also comes with the top part of the figures sitting base and the flexible chest piece.

 The instruction manual is very easy to ready and very simple to follow.  It lays out all the parts you have to work with and shows you how to put the figure in his object mode and on the figure itself.  It also shows you how to put the figure in his sitting position as shown in the Anime which is a very good addition to the manual.

         As you build the object mode, you can tell the figure is made to perfection.  The figure has many simple mechanisms and has specific parts only for the object mode.  The wings on the helmet come separately for the object mode for they can look more natural on the figure.  Also the wings on the back are a separate part for the object mode itself and they insert on the back, like the cape or a cap would be.  Overall the figures’ object mode is very well made and because of his human form, it’s very easy to build.

         Now to the figure, the figure is very well made and does not take long to make.  The figure is 90 percent metals with only the helmet and the waist as plastic parts.  Even the parts that cover the small of the shoulder are metal which a lot of the other gold saints did not have.  It also has two pairs of shoulders.  One pair is solid steel and the other one is made up of flexible plates.  

This other chest piece makes the figure have more flexibility and more poses on extreme measures.  The solid piece is very good as well because if you just want to have him in one position, maybe the solid shoulders would work better with you.  The flexible shoulders are a bit tricky to make them look natural but with patience you can get the look that you want.  

This figure also comes with another extra hair for the figure.  This hair is only put when you are using the helmet on the figure, you do not use this piece when you have him on his normal hair without the helmet.  The shoulders do have a clip mechanism that works with the chest piece and be very careful that you fully insert them, if you do not insert them properly, the figures chest and shoulders will not insert right and will not lock in place.  The five faces the figure has are amazing in their own right and look very well put on the figure.  Even the screaming ones that other times the other figures will look bad with, this figure makes them look right.  Other problem that you might have is posing the figure in his sitting form.  I was trying to do this and the skirt parts were just falling apart when I was trying to put him on the position.  Take your time and figure out how the angles will work with the figure and you should have no problems putting this figure in this position.

         I would have to say that this figure is one of my favorites that has come out on the EX line.  The 3 best figures of the EX line for me would be the Gemini Saga, The Pegasus Seiya, and now this one.  It is an amazing piece of art and if you love saint seiya it’s a must buy.  Overall you might have some problems posing him but overall the figure is amazing I give this figure a 9.5 out of 10.

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.

Saint Seiya Myth Cloth EX Phoenix Ikki Review

         Bandai started their new bronze saint line with the one and only Pegasus Seiya and with major success.  The figure was a work of art and most fans would agree that the figure is one for the ages.  Now the next figure for the saint seiya bronze section is coming out and with the form of a phoenix.  Phoenix Ikki is the second character to come out on the series and with good reason, he was the fan favorite for many people when they were young and people just love the character.  Today, we received the new myth cloth EX figure and let’s see if the figure lives up to the expectations of people for the EX line.

         The box layout is no different than the Pegasus one, it has the same plastic cover with the picture of the figure on the front, and his constellation.  On the sides of the box we have the figure doing a signature move and the object mode on a close up, and on the back of the box, they show you the different poses he can be put in, and different faces, a standard move of Bandai to get our attention.  Now if you take the plastic cover off, you can see the box is like the Pandora’s Box in the series like phoenix cloth is, a very nice touch of Bandai.  Now if we look inside, we have a total of 4 buster cards on the box.  

Buster number one, we have the figure itself with most of his armor parts, which is the normal cloth, not the broken one.

On buster 2, we see the skeleton of the object mode, we have the chest and the waist, and we have the wings and the feathers of phoenix ikki.  

On buster number three, we see the full broken armor version of the cloth, then we see the other 3 faces of the figure, to make a total of 4 faces, and we see the hands and other accessories for the figure.  

Overall the figure has the same amount of armor and layout that Pegasus seiya EX had on launch day.

         Now as the object mode was put together, you could tell that its very solid cloth, the object mode was very stable, and it even has a stand to support the armor on the back, something that the old myth cloth did not have and made a pain to get the object mode to stand up.  

This object mode is mostly made of the armor, so the armor plays a big roll on the figure.  One very nice thing that this figure can do is, because of the two sets of armor, you can put one set with the figure, and the other with the object mode.  Only thing you might be missing would be the feathers on the object mode, but that is not a breaking flaw on the figures part.  Overall the object mode is very well made and a good addition to the collection.

         Now the figure is one for the ages.  The figure is mostly composed of pure metal parts, the only plastic part I could find would be the face piece and that’s about it.   The chest is a bit loose but because the chest hold on with small clips on the sides.  One thing that I do recommend is not to play with the chest much.  

The hinges are a bit fragile and very weak, so moving it around might not be a good idea.  The same hinges are in the belt, same warning goes to that part as well.  But overall the figure looks great, and with the broken armor the figure looks fantastic.  For some reason the figures broken armor feels a bit more heavy but that must be for the extra detail it has.  The torso part also bends for the figure and for the object mode form, which is a nice feature for the figure.  Some people said that the figure feels out of proportion, but that is not the case, the figure looks and feels great, and I can’t find a flaw on the figure itself.

         So overall I have to give this figure a solid 10.  The figure is great and it belongs in your collection.  If you are looking for perfection, you can’t get more close than this piece of art.

Saint Cloth Crown Poseidon Review

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.

         Opening the box you see 3 compartments as well with this figure.  Compartment number one has most of the parts of the figure and some hands and a couple of faces. 

Compartment 2, has a lot of parts for the thrown, as this figure comes with a thrown itself to be displayed with the figure. 

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.
