I wouldn't call myself a Saint Cloth Myth fan; I rarely acquire Saint Cloth toys. However, the God Cloths are something I feel compelled to engage with. I've heard that METAL BUILD will also be releasing Saint Cloth Myth toys in the future, suggesting that the MB brand can truly expand beyond "BUILD" items. Next, I'll provide a brief introduction to the toy and some comments.
The subject of this review is "God Cloth Pegasus Seiya." Later, I will also bring out "Final Bronze Cloth Seiya" for comparison.
1. Strong Body for Support
My experience with Saint Cloth Myth is not extensive, but I understand that wearing armor often comes at the cost of some "strength" in the main body's joints. Even if the "joints" are strong enough, the armor can be heavier and stiffer, ultimately limiting posing in many areas.
Fortunately, this toy's body has excellent support strength; it's quite robust! As a result, Seiya can still strike various poses even while wearing his Cloth.
Furthermore, even with the Cloth on, it can still be displayed on a stand and posed dynamically, rather than just standing at attention.
2. Seiya's Face Sculpt is Good
Seiya's face sculpt is pleasing and quite handsome, with multiple interchangeable faceplates, which is a nice touch. The reclining pose is also particularly stylish!
Placing the Cloth on the display stand and observing the God Cloth's object form is truly enjoyable. That Pegasus, shimmering brightly, with gold and silver reflecting each other, truly evokes a sense of soaring upwards—it's magnificent! Simply displaying it is already worth the price!
Also featured is the Final Bronze Cloth, and there's certainly a huge difference, isn't there?! The level of splendor is incomparable!
4. Good Body Articulation
Because the toy's joints are strong and the body has good articulation, this could be a toy capable of many poses. However, there is indeed quite a bit of interference once Seiya wears the Cloth, which affects the toy's poseability. After donning the Cloth, the articulation becomes somewhat less useful, which is a bit of a shame.
In contrast, the Final Bronze Cloth from back then, with less armor on the body, had superior articulation!
Overall, the toy is good, and with God Cloth Shun already scheduled for release, the arrival of the other three strong characters is surely just around the corner. Overall, it's highly recommended! If it came with more effect parts, I believe the toy would be even more enjoyable.
