A long-running favorite among collectors and fans of "Saint Seiya", the "Saint Cloth Myth" series from BANDAI SPIRITS' Collectors Division is set to release a Revival Version of the "Steel Saint" Marine Cloth Ushio in July 2022!
The Steel Saints are original characters created for the "Saint Seiya" anime series. They were secretly commissioned by Mitsumasa Kido and developed by Dr. Asamori, utilizing advanced science and technology to create their own unique Cloths. The trio consists of three members, each representing a different domain: Sho of the Sky Cloth (Toucan), Daichi of the Land Cloth (Fox), and Ushio of the Marine Cloth (Swordfish). The Steel Cloths grant their wearers mechanically-based abilities, such as energy absorption and emitting disruptive radio waves.
The Steel Saint trio first appeared in the anime storyline just before the Sanctuary arc, aiding the heroes in their battles against the Silver Saints. After this, they were absent from the main story for a long time. However, they made a return in episode 94 of "Saint Seiya Omega," joining the fight against the Pallasite Aegir. It was then explained that their previous disappearance was due to the immense physical strain the powerful Steel Cloths placed on their bodies. After their initial battles, they had reached their physical limits and were forced to withdraw from the front lines to recover.
This Revival Ver. of Marine Cloth Ushio is a significant upgrade over the original release. The figure features significantly upgraded and more expressive face plates, with three interchangeable options included. As is tradition for the line, the Marine Cloth can be removed and reassembled into its swordfish-like Object Mode. Of course, fans can expect the superb articulation the Saint Cloth Myth series is known for.
