TAMASHII NATIONS, the esteemed collectibles division of Japan's BANDAI SPIRITS, has officially unveiled the latest upgraded release in the fan-favorite "Saint Cloth Myth EX" action figure series. Celebrating the 40th anniversary of the anime's broadcast, the new figure is none other than the "Saint Cloth Myth EX Beta Merak Hagen 40th Anniversary Ver." from the classic "Asgard Arc"! This highly anticipated collectible is priced at 19,800 JPY (tax included) and is slated for release in December 2026.
Within the original anime-exclusive "Asgard Arc" of "Saint Seiya," Beta Merak Hagen stands as one of the formidable God Warriors. Known as the "Wild Warhorse of Asgard," he is a powerful combatant who masterfully weaves together both intense heat and freezing cold in battle.
The newly announced "Saint Cloth Myth EX Beta Merak Hagen 40th Anniversary Ver." features a complete overhaul of its base body, upgrading to the EX METAL body with enhanced metal joints for superior articulation and stability. This allows for more dynamic and stable posing in various battle stances. Furthermore, the cape has been upgraded to a premium fabric material, now featuring a striking red inner lining! For expression parts, collectors will receive a standard face, a gritting teeth face, a smiling face, a shouting face, and a brand-new, sinister "wicked grin" face. The mask also boasts an open/close articulation mechanism, perfectly recreating his iconic appearance. As a special 40th-anniversary edition, the figure includes a dedicated "Saint Seiya Anime 40th Anniversary" display stand and a limited-edition outer sleeve featuring brand-new artwork by character design master Michi Himeno, making it an exceptionally valuable collectible!
True to the Saint Cloth Myth EX tradition, the God Robe can be detached and reassembled into the mythical eight-legged horse, Sleipnir, in its object form.
