Updated 2023-12-18 16:00
To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the "SAINT CLOTH MYTH" series, Athena, the goddess of battle who leads the Saints, = Saori Kido, has finally appeared in "SAINT CLOTH MYTH EX"! We would like to introduce the appeal of this item, which will be released at general stores on Saturday, December 23rd, with newly taken images using product samples.
*Products other than "SAINT CLOTH MYTH EX GODDESS ATHENA&SAORI KIDO" in the article are sold separately.
The package is a luxurious box with a new illustration drawn by Yoshitomo Himeno, the character designer for the anime "SAINT SEIYA", decorating the front! Goddess Athena and Saori Kido wearing holy clothes, two beautiful figures drawn with delicate touches, add flair to premium item commemorating the series' 20th anniversary.
The BOX includes an inner package containing the bodies and parts corresponding to "Goddess Athena" and "Saori Kido" respectively! Both have designs that conform to the EX series packaging, and can be enjoyed by displaying each as a standalone item.
In addition to 2 female bodies for wearing holy costumes and regular costumes, a complete set of holy costumes, regular costumes + decorations, a variety of replacement facial expressions, hair, and wrists are included. Also included are two types of canes with different coloring, two types of cane tips, one based on the anime and one based on the original, a large throne, and a pedestal commemorating the 20th anniversary SAINT CLOTH MYTH. In addition to this, a frame for the object form is also included, making it a very voluminous set.
A completely new "EX METAL body for women" using die-cast joints has been developed for the body worn by the holy costume. Although it is slimmer than the conventional male EX body, it does not lose weight even when wearing a heavy holy clothing, achieving a beautiful standing figure.
In addition to pursuing the proportions and appearance, improvements have been made to the movable mechanism. In the previous EX body, the waist could only rotate laterally, but in this body, it can move forward and backward. This has made it possible to express more human-like movements, such as forward bending and arching the body.
These potentials are fully demonstrated in the action while wearing the Holy Cloth! The noble and dignified image of HADES, who challenges Hades to settle the holy war that has been repeated since mythical times, is vividly brought back to life.
A new body for regular costumes has also been developed. This achieves a natural body line when wearing clothes. Decorative parts such as hair ornaments and abdomen can be removed, making it possible to recreate scenes from the play without them attached.
A large back hair part is included for the regular costume. When using this heavy part, support it with the included pedestal + arm to support display. The costume has wire in it, so you can make it have a fluttering hem. You can also freely express the image of him praying at the underwater temple in the Poseidon arc, and the rise of the microcosm at the moment when he seals away the Sea Emperor Poseidon.
*The vase is not included with this product, but is included with the separately sold "SAINT CLOTH MYTH EX SEA EMPEROR POSEIDON IMPERIAL THRONE SET".
In addition to a wide variety of optional parts, a pedestal commemorating the 20th anniversary of SAINT CLOTH MYTH series is included. This pedestal, which is also included in the separately sold "SAINT CLOTH MYTH Early Bronze Cloth 20th Anniversary Ver." series, has a central design that can be selected between "Athena's emblem" and "20th Anniversary Logo."
The emblems of the five constellations of Pegasus, Dragon, Cygnus, Andromeda, and Phoenix are sculpted around the outer circumference. It is also possible to have each face facing forward, depending on your preference.
