[Saint Cloth Myth] Announcing Pegasus Seiya Final Cloth Original Colour Edition

Yep, you read that right, another Seiya to be released by Tamashii, which will bring the amount of Seiyas to 8 not counting the Appendix:

- Seiya Reborn cloth

- Seiya Damaged version

- Seiya Final cloth

- Seiya Final cloth genealogical gold

- Seiya Final cloth Original Colour Edition

- Seiya God Cloth

- Seiya God Cloth Original Colour Edition

- Seiya Plain cloth

The figure was introduced at the Tokyo Toy Show earlier as the exclusive figure for the Autumn Tamashii Nations exhibit which is due to take place between the 2nd and 4th of October 2009.
In fact it's already appearing on the Tamashii Nations website, official photo below, and will be priced at ¥5,500.

I'm also rather intrigued by the Taurus helmet appearing on the Tamashii Nations logo... Probably means nothing but who knows? A little variety in the exclusive figures would be welcome (I dunno Marine for instance???)

Thanks to Hobbystock for the exhibit photograph :)

[Saint Cloth Myth] Phecda Thor - Colour Pictures

Shame the flash pretty much floods the figure with excessive light but it gives a decent idea of what the figure will look like coloured nonetheless. From what can tell it's pretty much spot on, the face is also very faithful (for info the dot on the face isn't a mole they gave him for grins, it's a mark they put on prototypes like these)

Thanks Cybergundam ;)

[Saint Cloth Myth] Pegasus Tenma - Tamashii Photos

Interesting touches to note: The folds on the undergarment around the belly area, which I've not seen before. The two faces is a nice touch as well. Other than that, still a little bland in terms of the cloth colours but that's due to the original design.

Thanks Sorrento & "Capital 8", a group I'd not heard of before...

[Saint Cloth Myth] Lost Canvas - Benu Kagaho Exclusive Prototype

Last Weekend was the yearly "Japan Expo" in Paris and by the looks of it, they had an exclusive prototype on display which is being made available even before any Toy Show in Japan.

Benu Kagaho, the first major specter to make an appearance in lost canvas and which release had been announced a few days back is actually already in the prototype stage, despite my initial doubts of a November release based on first images being a CG design.

It's hard to tell exactly and I can't say I recall his surplice to be like that but it looks like some sort of mix between a God Cloth and Rhadamanthys' surplice. It's supposed to pretty much be all black so we'll have to wait to see the coloured version but so far, it looks pretty good, perhaps a little broad on the hips...




Anyway, thanks to the guys at Ikki63 and ma-deesse for posting those pictures. :)

[Saint Cloth Myth] Hobby Japan 08-09 Andromeda God Cloth

We continue this month's set of photos with a change of focus from Hobby Japan on Andromeda God cloth. Not much to say there that hasn't been said before. It seems he's grown quite a bit between the Underworld and Elysion, I dunno, maybe the outside dimension was a bit of a stretch...


Anyhow, this page is a bit more interesting. We finally have comparative views between Thor and another God Warrior (Fenrir in this case), and though he sits on a display stand, the size is pretty much bang on what I thought, that is with his waist at the level of the shoulders of another average-sized character.

Finally another CAD drawing of Kagaho (well the same as Figure Oh really) and if we're to believe Trevor (who kindly provided those scans), this will be released in November '09 for the modest price of ¥6,825. If it's still at the computer design stage, it's hard to believe it's due to release so soon, especially when other key Saint Seiya characters are yet to be released.

Anyway, thanks to Trevor again.
