Be aware!Saint seiya Toys

[cyclonex]

a note about the price of Myth Cloth figures: in France you can find them from 30 euro (Bronze), at general toystores and supermarkets

un bon site/forum en français: myth-cloth.forumactif.com/index.forum

Some good advice: look around on FACTS before you buy! Several stores bring the same things, but some are a lot more expensive than others!

And you won't have a problem finding Saint Seiya toys, I've already seen lots of those around on Facts: old, new big, small, you name it, there's bound to be a stand that has it!

Hi
If you buy stuff, ask to look in the package (if there is no transparent foil) first!!! I bought two boxes of dragonball figures. Some of them where missing!!!

As serenity was saying compare the prices of the stuff you want to buy. If you look carefully around you can save a lot of money. I've bought some saint seiya stuff and in a shop they were asking 20 euros more for the same toy!!!

The spanish toys of saint seiya are uggly

Try also to negociate the price with the storekeeper.

At FACTS you will find a lot saint seiya stuff. I saw action figures 15 cm and the small one, posters, books at FACTS 2004

Cool! According to Bandai's latest update, the Saga Myth Cloth will come with two figures, a Pope toga (so not just the white cape, but the entire blue/red robe as well) and a gold dagger (for a little deicide). Now all that's missing is a baby Athena. ;D

[cyclonex]

Baby Athena/Saori might come with Athena God Cloth (I'm sure Bandai will make it someday, they HAVE to )

I have been waiting SOOOO long for the newest releases from BANDAI (LEZARD Misty, PERSEUS Argol end UNICORNE Jabu)
I think those guys from BANDAI are sadistical people, as usual they cancel the release always at the lat moment.

Normaly the BRONZE SAINTS V3 (reissues version NOT muth cloth) were planned on the beginning of 2006.....

I have almost ALL the gold saints myth cloth, i'm only missing AQUARIUS and CAPRICORNE (wich are the most rare and expensive ones)
But now BANDAI France is bringing them aswel, and much cheaper.
There is NO difference between JAPANESE, CHINESE or FRENCH version because They're ALL made at the same company.

I had bought a TAURUS for 45 euro and a pisces for 40 euro, i did say to myself that i wouldn't start with the myth cloths and now i owe 10 gold saints and WYVERN.
I hope i won't start collecting the Bronze myth cloth or else i'm LOST!!

I hope i won't start collecting the Bronze myth cloth or else i'm LOST!!

Don't forget the Silver Saints, the Asgard God Warriors, the Poseidon Mariners and the rest of the Hades Specters. ;D

[hadesgod1]

PLEASE have merci on me!!!!

It's even hard to resist not to buy the odin statue they release together with the temples of some of the gold sains, wich i personaly don't like (too small in comperation of the reissues, even for the newest gachapons with removable armors it's too little, but if any of you want to buy me a birthday present for my birthday (on the 10 of december by the way), a odin statue would be nice. . . . .

Hi,

I saw the capricorne myth cloth for only 45 euros on the facts.

I've bought saga and mu. Really cool. Next time i'll try to buy the capricorne, taurus and cancer.

The statue of Athena was way too cool, but i saw it only in one shop of the facts.

Last year i saw a lot of saint seiya gashapons, but not this time, i was looking for the 12 gold saint.

very good seller

[hadesgod1]

I think i wil take a visit on his site and make my christmas list

[Steven]

Here's a nice idea. You think the faces of the first Myth Cloths don't look so nice as the current ones? Or you'd like some extra heads and hands to customize your figures? Well, Bandai is planning to release a set of PVC Saint Seiya busts, the heads and hands of which can be exchanged with the Myth Cloths. Rhadamanthys, Kanon (in the Gemini Cloth), Seiya (looking angry) and Shaka are announced for early next year, others are sure to follow.

You can check the first picture of Rhady and Kanon here: img232.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hj12lh8.jpg

And Seiya here: img81.imageshack.us/my.php?image=saiyaqx0tr8.jpg

!!!

[cyclonex]

there was also a Aiolia bust (Saint Seiya G version), I dont know if it needed any modifications, but I have a pic with that head on the Myth body (and one repainted as Aiolos)

[hadesgod1]

I think i saw it lately on Ebay too.

[Steven]

I have the Episode G-bust, but the head is firmly attached to the rest of the bust (the bust was NOT produced by Bandai, BTW). So to attach it to the Leo Myth Cloth, you'll need some customizing skills...

[hadesgod1]

Isn't it a shame that there isn't a sceenery of SAINT SEIYA at FACTS ??
Wouldn't it be AWESOME to have a temple filled with saints?

I'm not so bad with my custom scenery's

[cyclonex]

last year there was a seller with some Myths displayed next to pillars and temple parts

[hadesgod1]

I think that was........ME;)
Last year I was a dealer and made a trone room with a vintage grand pope with some pandora boxes and also myth cloths af LION and RADAMANTHYS.

It's Kraken time: img54.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fig1hv2.jpg

Okay, it's only a tiny picture in the bottom left corner, but at least it gives an idea of the general design of the first Mariner.

[hadesgod1]

It's even better than i imagined, it think i wil lose my self control and start collecting the other ones......

[hadesgod1]

Are there some members who might have rumors, inside info or release dates for the newest myths or die casts ?

[Steven]

Well, Bandai's been keeping quiet for some time, but now over the last 2 weeks news has come pouring in:

- First of all, the original diecast series is over and done with. Bandai Asia has recently announced that they will no longer continue this series, as the Myth Cloths have gobbled up all the sales figures. So the Unicorn/Perseus/Lizzard set really is the last one. I'd say if there's anything missing from your collection, now may be the time to buy it, as you can expect prices to rise in the next future.

- The CONFIRMED list of Myth Cloths to be released is as follows:
February: Seadragon Kanon (both in armor and civilian outfit)
March: Phoenix Ikki (Hades version)
March: 4 busts or "Appendixes" (Shaka, Seiya, Saga & Radamanthys)
May: Aries Shion (in his modified Hades Surplice)
June: Siren Sorrento

- Two special Myth Cloths have also been confirmed: One is the usual yearly Premium, this year consisting of Hades-possesed Shun (in robes) and the Hades throne. The other one is a total surprise: Crystal Saint, Hyoga's teacher from the old Sanctuary anime.

This is an exclusive figure which will only be available for preorder to the readers of Figure Oh magazine (Japan's leading action figure magazine), so it may be the rarest Myth Cloth yet. Opinion among fans is divided over this figure, as many see him as a "non-canon" character. I think he's great, but that's because I grew up on the old Sanctuary series, and his death at the time moved me.
Anyway, Shun is available in September, Crystal Saint in November.

- Bandai is also working on further busts, including a new head for Camus, and a new head and torso for Dohko (with a tiger tattoo on his back).
