Scream Man Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Why are we doing a new SS thread? i found the old one very helpful when i got into the series.... Quote
Eternal_D Posted April 19, 2008 Author Posted April 19, 2008 because the mods locked it...I should post some pictures of my collection later...hasn't changed much in a while tho... Quote
Sumdumgai Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 Not quite Myth Cloth, but I forgot to mention (I think?) that I picked up a few of those chibi big-head Saint Seiya trading figures. At Random I got Leo Aioria. Then I went out of the way to get an opened box of Shun-Hades, and Garuda Aiacos. They look like freaks, but they make me laugh. Quote
Scream Man Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 fair enough. Ill have to post a new collection pic when i get the chance as well. Im actually up to date of the oens i want now. Quote
Shun Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 Not quite Myth Cloth, but I forgot to mention (I think?) that I picked up a few of those chibi big-head Saint Seiya trading figures. At Random I got Leo Aioria. Then I went out of the way to get an opened box of Shun-Hades, and Garuda Aiacos. They look like freaks, but they make me laugh. those are very cute. i like them but is quite expensive if i wanna collect all. Vol.2 is an even better collection (12 gold saints). BTW, some news on upcoming releases: Apr: Asgard Eta Mime (just released in Japan today) May: Sea General Scylla Io Jun: God Cloth Pegasus Seiya ---- (new and unconfirmed rumors) ---- Jul: Sea General Lyumnades Kaza Aug: Casual clothes Hyoga, Shun and Ikki Sep: God of Sleep Hypnos Oct: Poseidon Nov: Mail-in Exclusive Athena, Appendix Scorpio Dec: God Cloth Dragon Shiryu rumors source: Trevor from toysdaily Quote
Scream Man Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 (edited) Only difference to that i had heard was Appendixes for Scorpio and Libra earlier than that. Edited April 25, 2008 by Scream Man Quote

Shun Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 do you guys have a link for the mail away athena? http://www.jp-network.co.jp/saori/ Got God Seiyta today! AWESOME toy, looks reappy really good. Very thin box too.... Glad u liked it... yeah its quite a good piece. the box was a little too big though, not necessary to make it that big... they just wanna make it the same size as the Thanatos box. Quote
Sumdumgai Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 I've got most of the Saints that I want, there are a few more MUST HAVES. In particular: Surplice Capricorn Shura, Ophiucus Shaina, Chameleon June, and maybe Eagle Marine. Now if there were Lost Canvas style figures released, I would NEED to get a Capricorn El Cid, Cancer Manigold, and Pisces Albafica. Quote
Scream Man Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 i actually need to get Io and Mime still. I skipped ahead and got Seiya so i didnt miss him. Quote
Scream Man Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 ordered the Blonde Poseidon and Io today. They both look awesome, I cant wait to get em. Also: Appendixes! Scorpio and Aquarius next, as well as the Surplice Capricorn and Aquarius being close! Between those, Athena and Hypnos we have a lot hitting soon! Quote
Sumdumgai Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Holy crap didn't know about Shura coming out in January! I haven't been keeping up on these. Damn he looks awesome! Quote

Tamashii Nations exhibition is to be held in Hong Kong (similar to the one held in Japan i guess) and the Event Exclusive Shion (boxset of a black armor Hades Aries Shion and Pope Shion with white robes) will be available for sale during this event. The words in this article seem to mean the "event exclusive" boxset will be readily available after the event, but this is not confirmed. http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/7276/snv34606jo2.jpg ------------------------------------------------------------- Nov 2008 - Epsilon Alioth Fenrir Dec 2008 - Hypnos, God of Sleep Jan 2009 - Hades Capricorn Shura, Appendix bust Scorpio Milo Feb 2009 - Mail-in Exclusive Athena Saori, Hades Aquarius Camu, Appendix bust Aquarius Camu (Gold cloth) Mar 2009 - ?? Apr 2009 - Magazine Exclusive Broken ver Pegasus (Mail-in and Magazine Exclusives are quite readily available for HK distributor) EDIT: oh yeah, forgot about the 56cm tall Sagittarius also coming out in Feb (105,000 yen heheh). Comes with light up base stand http://tamashii.jp/special/tc_sagittarius/ http://gigahobby.blogspot.com/2008/11/blog-post_11.html Edited November 11, 2008 by Shun Quote
Sumdumgai Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Holy crap a 560mm tall Sagittarius object! Daaaaaaamn. That's cool, but I don't want one. Oh man oh man I WILL get that Surplice Capricorn Shura. I like the surplice design more than the Gold Cloth. An appendix Capricorn Shura would be great, I still am not that pleased with the original head. Quote
Scream Man Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 yeah i like all of them, but im not really EXCITED by any of them. Now that the Marinas are done, most of the ones I wanted from the main guys are complete. Its only the female characters and some of the Silver saints Id like to see now. Quote
Shun Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 (edited) There will be a Tamashii Nations event in HK on the 28th Nov. The Tamashii Nations event exclusive Shion boxset (black Surplice armor + white robed Pope) will be available for sale during the event. This HK version of the Tamashii Nations Exclusive Shion is different from the Japan version. - Hair color is different. - Includes a gold (plated?) colored Pope seat Price for Japan ver was 8000yen, and this new HK version is 9000yen. http://gigahobby.blogspot.com/2008/11/nation.html (compare this HK ver to the JP ver at the bottom of the page) http://www.bandai-asia.com/main/#special and Bandai's getting a kick out of color variations. The latest being this "Original Gold-colored God Cloth Seiya". Gold God Cloths are Manga version colors. hope its not a "Tamashii Store Exclusive" duh http://tamashiiwebshouten.jp/ Edited November 14, 2008 by Shun Quote
Scream Man Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 yeah, all these repaints are a hoot n all, but how about the other 3 plain cloth saints, huh? Or maybe the 5 saints in their V1 armour? Or their god Armour? Or finish the last 3 Asgardians? Or some Silver saints? Not like they're short on characters! Quote
Shun Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 The Steel Saint seems to be next. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3010/302906...fd16e0134_o.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3279/302823...8f635f7e7_o.jpg and some pics of the nov release Fenrir http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3025/302823...1711ce1ee_o.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3048/302906...2084f1d72_o.jpg Quote
Sumdumgai Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Oh man, steel saints before Shiryu, Hyoga, Ikki, and Shun get their God Cloths? Ouch. Talk about not getting any love. And Steel Saints before Marine and Shaina? What the hell happened to their planned Shaina release? Was it that bad or something? Was she chunky like the DX VF-25? I mean what happened? Quote
Shun Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 I've never heard of a Shaina release. Are you referring to Athena Saori? Saori is to be released in Feb 2009. Or maybe you saw some customized or photoshopped picture of Shaina. PS > so the DX VF-25 isn't popular? it looks ok IMO. Quote
Sumdumgai Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 Way back when Taurus Aldebaran was soon to be released, in the announced planning was Shaina for December (Taurus Aldebaran was coming out in October or November). But she was replaced with another figure and we never heard about her since. Never even saw any prototype pictures of her, but she was in the works back then. As for the VF-25, it's not anorexic like it should be, it's badly proportioned, it has crappy landing gear, and it has problems in each mode (especially fighter with the gaps in the back where the legs should be integrated). When you see what Bandai did with Saint Seiya toys, then you look at what they did with the VF-25, you know they could have done better (especially with the work they did on the model kit). Quote
Scream Man Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Just got the Marina Kasa. I like him more than i thought I would, but damn me if he isnt SHARP! spikes that actually kinda hurt! Steel saints huh? Ill porbably get them. Quote
Scream Man Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 Well, got Io and Poseidon. Both are very cool, Io might even be one of my favourite Marinas overall. i got the Blonde Posiedon too, and am currently repainting his throne to looka little more interesting. Quote
Shun Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 Yes i like Scylla Io alot! I got both versions of Poseidon but the Royal Ornament version is much much nicer - the armor is very shiny unlike the very dull look on the normal Poseidon. It has been a looooong time we last had very shiny Myth Cloth (esp the metal parts), but what a price to pay... Hades Aquarius Quote
