Saint Seiya Myth Cloth - Goddess Athena

In order to save Athena from certain death in the hands of the Lord of Hell himself, Seiya and his friends were tasked to deliver Athena's divine Cloth to her in Elysium. After fighting countless specters and gods, Seiya and his friends finally confronted Hades with a dying Athena in front of them. Before the final showdown between Athena and Hades, she donned the legendary Athena God Cloth.

The Athena God cloth depicts the Goddess Athena herself equipped with her full gear.

About 40-50 percent of the figure was made using metal.

Different angle of the Athena God Cloth. This was one of the best looking God Cloth to date.

Putting the cloth on Athena was actually quite straightforward.

Some parts from the dress/frill were excluded.

I like Athena better without the helmet.

This figure came with a close-eyes face. I cannot recall when she actually did that in the anime.

It also came with a open-mouth face.

This figure was what a lot of people considered as the last release for the Saint Myth Cloth series. The design and crafting of the cloth was as close as you can get to the anime adaptation. The face sculpts were perfect and the same goes to the hair sculpt. The only issue I have with this figure was the articulation. Even though the improved body was able to give the figure a lot of freedom, all of those articulation were restricted once the cloth was put onto the body.

Despite the issue, this was a great figure and it looks great among my Saint Seiya collection. I guess this will be the last I will ever see from the Saint Seiya Myth Cloth series. Pick one up if you are a fan of the series before the price goes off the roof.

Saint Seiya Myth Cloth - Garuda Aiocos

Along with Gryphon Minos, Garuda Aiacos appeared on the scene during the fight between Wyvern Rhadamanthys and Gemini Kanon. Garuda immediately took an interest in the battle and hit Kanon with the "Galactic Illusion".

Front view of Aiocos.

Aiocos' eyes were obscured by his bang, similar to Minos. The last picture shows a glimpse of his eyes.

One of Aiocos' strongest attack, "Galactica Illusion".

Last but not least, the Garuda surplice. Like the other judges, this is another great piece of surplice to behold.

He is considered the weakest of the 3 Judges of Hell. He was defeated by Ikki's "Hou Yoku Ten Sho".

Saint Seiya Myth Cloth - Griffin Minos

Together with Wyvern Rhadamanthys and Garuda Aiacos, Griffin Minos serves Hades as the 3 Judges of Hell. Minos power lies in the Celestial Noble Star. Amongst all of the Specters in the Hades arc, Minos was shown to be one of the most powerful.

Front view of Minos with his surplice.

Close up on Minos. He is usually depicted with a bang to hide his eyes.

Griffon Minos' one and only known attack is his "Cosmic Marionettion" technique. As the name suggests, the move allows Minos to wrap his opponent with strings of Cosmo energy, entrapping and turning them into living, human marionnettes.

Once he has trapped his enemy, he will proceed to torture them before killing them.

The Griffon surplice is really something to behold. The Griffon is a mythical creature which is half lion half eagle. It symbolize nobility hence the Celestial Noble Star.

Minos was a prominent character in the Hades arc but he was killed after he jumped into the cosmic river in order to chase after the Saints.

Saint Seiya Myth Cloth - Wyvern Rhadamanthys

Celestial Fierce Star, Wyvern Rhadamanthys is one of the infamous "3 Judges of Hell". Wyvern Rhadamanthys is, undoubtedly, one of the most respected warriors of Hades army. His skills and talents easily overcome those of Athena's Gold Saints and his reputation as a powerhouse is famous among the Specters of the Underworld. Along with Judges Garuda Aiacos and Gryphon Minos, Rhadamanthys has command over different sections of Hades' army.

Rhadamanthys with his Wyvern surplice. The picture shows the original head sculpt which looks awful.

The best way to deal with this issue is to get the appendix for this figure. Once you have this, you would not want to use the original head again.

Rhadamanthys with the head from the appendix. This, my friend IS Rhadamanthys, the cruel and relentless judge of the underworld.

Rhadamanthys commands a threatening aura. His lackey fears him while his opponent respects his tenacity in battle.

The appendix without the head piece.

I prefer to pose Rhadamanthys without the head piece. His blond hair is a good contrast to his surplice.

The Wyvern has but one known technique which he utilizes to destroy his opponent — the "Greatest Caution". Rhadamanthys charges his Cosmo to the highest point of power and unleashed it via his two opened palms. The blast produce by this technique is similar to a shock wave.

The Wyvern surplice is depicted as a 2-legged wyvern with bat-like wings. This surplice is an eye candy among the other cloth from the Myth Cloth line.

Rhadamanthys was the main antagonist in the first Hades arc. It actually took the life of a gold saint to finally defeat the wyvern.

Saint Seiya Myth Cloth - Pegasus Seiya V3

Moeru Cosmo yo!!!

Thats "Burn my Cosmo!!!" for those of you who does not speak Japanese.

I have been a fan of Saint Seiya since it's premier more than 10 years ago. Every fans around the world rejoice when Bandai announced a line of product in the form of Saint Seiya Myth Cloth. Everyone rejoice except me, who does not have the necessary financial capability to ever own one of these figure. Fast forward to recent years, when I finally secure a job that let me grovel in this addiction of mine. I have slowly but surely started to collect all those figures which I have missed over the years. Now I am compelled to write an entry about it since I am almost on the verge of completing my list of wanted figure from this great series.

Seiya, the titular character of the series has been through a lot of event before the Hades saga. Once again, the Pegasus Cloth has been damaged almost beyond repair during the saints' struggle in the Poseidon saga. Despite that, Seiya still donned the cloth when he answered the call of his cosmo to do battle in the sanctuary which was invaded by the specters of Hades.

Right before the ending of the sanctuary arc, Athena sacrificed herself to awaken her eighth sense and in doing so, spilling her own blood. Aries Shion used her blood to awaken her cloth and used the same blood to repair the Bronze Saint's cloths.

The Pegasus V3 Cloth is in a form of a galloping pegasus. It is simple but yet elegant.

Seiya dons his Pegasus Cloth.

The Pegasus cloth sprout wings which enable Seiya to reach the field of Elysium.

"I must deliver this to Saori san!!!"

The Myth Cloth Appendix is a sub line product. The figures come in the form of a bust which can you used to enhance the figure from the main line. This Appendix is for Seiya which comes with a better hair sculpt and 2 new head which feature a grinning face and a screaming face.

"Step aside! I must go to Saori san!!!"

"Burn my Cosmo!!!"

"Pegasus Ryu Sei Ken!!!"
