Saint Seiya Saint Cloth Myth


Golgoth 13

Recommended Posts

Hey, notice the new saint seiya has a wrist joint(s)... interesting.

I am actually excited for this new seiya now...

You've got sharp eyes! I didn't notice that! :o

That's cool, but jeez it's gonna be hard to get the hands changed on Seiya with one more joint to worry about turning when you're putting new hands on him! :p

recent reports from japan told that rhadamanthis's stocks had not last more than 1 or 2 days ... Bandai have been forced to boost the production.

Here in france it's a hit, and bandai france is about to release the all MC serie. (we are waiting for the planning).

Really? That's interesting... over here in Taiwan the local dept. store has one shelf devoted to the rhadamanthis, and they're just sitting there... along with the virgos and Aquarius' they got that apparently nobody's interested in. All those saint cloths, gathering dust, mm....

Guess I'll get my wish of collecting all 12 gold saints without having to fight over them, yay!

Just to derail this thread a tad, since we seem to have a pretty hardcore gathering of Seiya fans here... anybody got a decent sized pic of the opening crawl for Hades Chapter? The one where the screen scrolls sideways past all 12 gold saints?

in french :

Sortie mouvementée de Radamanthys au Japon! (29-01-2005)

Depuis 1988, on avait jamais vu ça! Notre correspondant au Japon nous a décrit la sortie de la figurine à Osaka et on n'en revient toujours pas! Là-bas, visiblement, les magasins n'ont été approvisionné qu'à hauteur d'une figurine sur 5. C'est hallucinant pour une ville presque grande comme Paris! Les magasins qui ont eu des stocks corrects ont pour la plupart été dévalisés en 2 ou 3 heures. Certains magasins en ont même déjà profité pour gonfler les prix et on peut déjà trouvé certains Rhadamantys à 9800 Yens en vitrine (près de 75 Euros)!!! Je pense que c'est du jamais vu le jour d'une sortie... Je ne sais pas quelle est la situation à Tokyo où dans les autres villes du Japon, mais je pense que ça doit être dans le même ton. Alors, cette fois, on en est sûr, Saint Seiya n'est pas mort et 15 ans plus tard, il est même plus fort que jamais. Vive Saint Seiya!!!!

Hmm i really hope they make some revision though :unsure: because Aries Mu is one of my favourite saint..i'd like him to be as close to the anime as possible

Other rumour stated, next myth cloth after aries Mu will be the dragon final cloth :unsure: but I hope yours will be the right one coz' i like gold saints better than bronze saint :D but come on Bandai, don't be shy.... release them all...i'l buy them :D

Because if they make it now, sales will drop for the others, since everyone's buying up the gold saints in anticipation of Gemini. :p It's like you're hungry and you're waiting for your favorite dish, but there's a bunch of snacks laying around so you start munching. Little do you know, those snacks you're munching put money in the pocket of the cook.

No wait, I'm the one that's really hungry and thinking of food... :p:lol: Forget the example!

Plus think of it this way. They've made a lot of improvements as they go along with the line. The New Seiya has an updated body. They've been gaining experience and are getting better at their work. You compare the old Shiryu head with the one that comes with Doko, big improvements. Myth Cloth Seiya vs Myth Cloth Seiya armor 3, worlds of difference in the sculpts of the face and stuff.

Saga's going to be the culmination of all the experience the sculptors have had up until then. Saga's going to be really NIIIIiiiiiiiiiiceeeeeeeee~ :D

I want Surplice versions of the Saints. :D especially Surplice Shura and Surplice Shion.

KEEP AWAY STEEL SAINTS!!!! NO ONE LIKES YOU!!! :p:angry:

HAHA, I hear that!

well as far as your example goes...it makes sense. but I have one thing to say...Shura's eyes!! they're freakin retarded! I just hope they don't mess up Gemini...but I don't want to expect perfection either...more likely I will get disappointed.

Erg, I know what you mean.

My theory is that someone at Bandai didn't like Shura and screwed the eyes for the production version. <_< I mean, the prototype pics looked great, eyes and everything! :(

I don't want to expect a lot, but I will. :lol:

Here's a scan I did from my box set of the Hades arc... The plastic thing that normally holds the dvd came off so I could scan it. :p You're in luck.

Here's surplice Capricorn Shura.

Differences you may not. Each shoulder piece has two smaller horns sticking out by the large one. Different markings on his chest, helmet, and waist armor. And like all the surplice armor, his is much more pointy and jagged.

edit: If you have the saint cloth myth versions of Shura and Camus you can compare the anime images of them in the instruction books to the pics I just supplied. Good luck! Let us know how the customs turn out! :D

I scanned the dvd itself for the image of Camus and Shion (not that there's a Mu out to customize YET. Wait till May or June ;) ).

I really hope that Bandai Japan makes Surplice versions of the Gold Saints, and also does a Surplice Aries Shion.

And I really hope that Bandai gets back to finishing off the Hades arc!

IMHO, you better wait a bit before you start customising..... :unsure:

I got this feeling that soon or later, bandai will release the spectre version of gold saints..... they already got the mould, all they got to do is put purple colour and slightly alter the mould..... and WALLA!!! :p you got the spectre version .... Just like yamato... when the 1/48 was a huge hit, they're easily churn out the VF-1 variants :D

Some news in from the Whitezeta forum:

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

Les "grands pontes" asiatiques de Bandai Japon spécialisés dans les jouets pour les plus de 13 ans (comme les Myth Cloth par exemple...) étaient chez Bandai France aujourd'hui et d'excellentes nouvelles ont été annoncés :

1) Tout d'abord, la gamme ne s'arrêtera pas en 2006 comme certains l'ont dit sur ce forum (le message de Bandai France dans Dixième Planète a été mal interprété), mais continuera bel et bien car elle a un très grand succès en Asie et ailleurs dans le monde (ah bon ?? ).

2) Après les Chevaliers d'Or et les Bronzes 3ème armure, Bandai s'attaquera aux autres Spectres (en espérant que la production des OAVs viennent leur donner du grain à moudre...).

3) Et enfin, et c'est là que les infos sont croustillantes, les chevaliers d'ASGARD et les MARINAS sont aussi planifiés par la suite !!!!!!

Ne me demandez pas si les chevaliers d'Acier, Marine et Shina, les autres 5 chevaliers de bronzes loosers ou n'importe quelle autre figurine est prévue, je n'en sais rien... Force est de constater que Bandai n'a pas l'intention de s'arrêter fin 2005 !

Je vous laisse mijoter avec ces quelques infos (à mon avis les meilleures depuis longtemps...), mais il semble que Bandai Japon ne lachera pas de si tôt la poule aux oeufs d'or et c'est tant mieux pour nous collectionneurs !

Cellsenshi.

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

translation:

The asian "grand popes" of Bandai Japan specialised in toys for those over 13 (like the Myth Cloths for example...) were at Bandai France today and excellent news has been announced:

1) First off, the line won't stop in 2006 like certain people said on the forum ( the message from Bandai France in Dixièm Planète was wrongly interpreted), but will continue happily and well because it has had great success in Asia and other places in the world (oh really??).

2) After the Cold Saints and the 3rd Armor Bronzes, Bandai will continue onto the other specters (in hoping that the production of the OAVs comme to give them some grain to grind...).

3) And finally, and it's here that the info is mouthwatering, the Knights of Asgard and the Marinas are also planned to be continued onto!!!! :o:D

Don't ask me if the Steel Saints, Marine and Shina, the other 5 loser Bronze Saints or whatever other figure is forseen, I don't know anything about that... It's obviously clear to us now that Bandai doesn't have the intention to stop at the end of 2005.

I leave you to simmer with these bits of info (my opinion being that these have been the best in a long time), but it appears that Bandai Japan won't give up the chicken that lays golden eggs and that's even better for us collectors!

Cellsenshi.

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

Sooooo, this is a guy that has always given out correct info in the past on the Saint Cloth Myths. It seems he's a freelance writer for magazines and stuff, and stays in contact with Bandai.

All I can say is YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!

Now I'm waiting for my Radamanthys to arrive. Of course Chronopost is acting wierd again, and this time they can't even follow the package out of Japan... It's supposedly left Japan Monday morning and hasn't arrived in France yet, which is damned odd since every other time it's only taken a day for the damned plane to land in France. *sigh* I think they have a grudge against me. *sniff* :(

edit: for size and crap
