Saint Seiya Myth Cloth Thread


Recommended Posts

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. :)

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. :)

Gold Cloth Aquarius re-issue in Feb 2009.

-------------------------------------------------------------

HLJ seems to be having ALOT of myth cloth restock in Nov.

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.

Holy crap a 560mm tall Sagittarius object! :o 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.

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"

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?

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).

Yes i like Scylla Io alot! :D 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...
