Saint Seiya: Saint Cloth Myth

[Gasha]

Gold Saints Virgo Shaka, Sagittarius Aiolos, Aries Mu, Taurus Aldebaran and Gemini Saga


Inside peek.. GEMINI Saga is the heaviest of the bunch simply because he's a "Twin" pack (get it? gemini? Twinpack? ) Includes Saga's evil alter ego disguising as Pope Ares' and even comes with a Throne for the Pope to sit on..


Set loose with my other saint Seiya figures..Taurus Aldebaran is the biggest and heaviest fig, Pope Ares even has the Golden Dagger, the one he plans on using to kill Baby Athena.. I really love the shelf presence of this things.. only need 5more gold saints and I'm done with this line..

These things really look good and small pics dont do em justice, check out and click the hi-res pics HERE

Big thanks to Tapdaman for helping me source out this Gold Scorpio Miro locally for a great price!


Together with my current Saint Cloth Myth Die-cast Figures

[Gasha]

Got something from the mail the other day... I've been impatient with local sources and decided to Ebay some of the Gold Saints I've been lacking ;D


Outer Box pic
Decided to get Pisces Gold saint next, merely because the lost canvas manga's previous Pisces Saint, Pisces Albafika was so cool and honorable! This new Pisces Gold Saint Aphrodite however is the canon character of the current Saint Seiya timeline.

This time I'll try to be more detailed with the pics and each figure so as to give a better review/idea about these awesome die cast action figures.. (assuming I'm not that busy..) ;D


Anyway to start if off, I've decided to assemble first the Pisces Object before I snap on the armor.. usually I'd just snap the armors on the figs and keep the object parts MIB.. anyways.. assembling the Pisces object was so much fun, and the Object Statue is also a great display piece, if only these things didn't cost quite as much it would be so much better to get an extra piece to display as the Figure with the armor on and another piece to display as their respective Obect statuettes.


Pisces Gold Saint Aphrodite
It was said that Pisces saints were always the most beautiful saints of Athena, The beauty they possess is merely a distraction as well as an "attraction" to the power and damage that they can unleash on their enemies. Although Aphrodite as well as Albafika (the lost canvas pisces saint) may look like female, they are in fact Males! ;D See? The beauty they possess already gotcha didn't they? hehehe! ;D Anyways yes, they are male and looks like gay yeah.. thats what my friend Erik buffy would always say to me.. "saint seiya figs look gay! Who'd want to collect those?!" haha! Sorry erik, I just like their shelf presence so much, more so than SOCS yes, hehe! ;D Yeah I'm weird, yadayada..


Piranian Rose!!!!
One of the Pisces Gold Saint's trademark attack, this rose will destroy anything it touches! Pretty awesome huh? Its identified by its black petals.. The Bloody rose however is identified as a white rose, it kills the enemy by attacking their hearts then sucking the blood, thus turning the white petals into red when it has completely killed its target. The most powerful attack though is the Royal demon rose, its a red rose which has a variation of attacks from projectiles, to mists to unleashing an aroma which when inhaled will destroy your five senses before annihilating you completely! So needless to say yes, currently my favorite Gold saint is the Pisces saint, a big part of it though is because of Saint Seiya: the Lost Canvas manga!

Thanks for looking!

Aquarius Camus with HK exclusive Metal Plate

Ok.. up next is the Gold Saint Aquarius Camus, got one with the metal plate included since one ebay seller was selling it the same price as one without the metal plate.. so no brainer there. ;D

Aquarius Camus Metal Plate
What are these for? Well, they are just inserts with some data on the character and a metal plate with the object symbol is included, the metal plate actually serves as a "layer" for the Bandai saint cloth myth dedicated action figure stand. It just gives the stand a more die cast solid "feel" I guess.. Anyway, I dont have the stand yet sooo... I'll delve more on this next time.. though to be honest I think this will be more of a problem since now I cant be contented with one metal plate, it seems I want to collect these HK items too!




Aquarius Object
One thing about the Saint Cloth Myth line is that I really like the diecast "Feel" when holding the figs. Same is true for the objects of each character. The Aquarius object, although has plastic parts feels very heavy and solid in its object statue version.




Aquarius Camus, one of the 12 Gold saints of Athena




Fun shots, decided to recreate Camus' battle with Hyoga at the Libra Temple during the sanctuary Arc.
Camus' "Aurora Execution" Vs. Hyoga's "Aurora Thunder attack"




In this battle Hyoga was defeated, In honor of Hyoga's kindness and being a student of Camus' student, the Crystal Saint, Camus decided to encase Hyoga's body in ice using one of his special attacks the "Freezing Coffin". With this, Hyoga's body will never rot nor erode, and no Gold Saint can ever break the Freezing Coffin.. but rather Hyoga's body will forever be preserved in all its youth and splendor.. or so thats what Camus' thought!




One of the reasons why I bought Camus next before Deathmask and Shura (the two last remaining Gold saints I still lack) is because of this special scene in the Saint Seiya Hades Elysion OVA, the scene where all five bronze saints donned the Gold Clothes in their battle against The Death God Thanatos..


So without further ado, The Bronze Saints donning the Gold Clothes of Libra Dohko (Dragon Shiryu),Aquarius Camus (Cygnus Hyoga, Saggitarius Aiolos (Pegasus Seiya), Virgo Shaka (Andromeda Shun), and Leo Aioria (Phoenix Ikki). Too bad though since I only have the Ver.2 figures of the bronze saints except for Seiya, their headsculpts arent as anime accurate as the Final Hades versions of the same characters, after I complete the Gold Saints, I plan on getting the Final Hades versions of the other bronze saint clothes.. and maybe I can re-do this exact photoshoot with the new and more anime accurate headsculpts for Shiryu, Hyoga, Shun and Ikki!
