'''Myth Cloth''' is the name of a line of action figures based on the TV animated series [[Saint Seiya]] (also known as '''Knights of the Zodiac'''). Created by [[Bandai]] in 2003 (to celebrate the launch of the anime [[OVA]]s "Saint Seiya Hades: Chapter Sanctuary") for the Japanese and Hong Kong markets, they are still in production today. |
|||
At first, it was planned to launch just the five main Bronze Saints ([[Pegasus Seiya]], [[Dragon Shiryu]], [[Cygnus Hyoga]], [[Andromeda Shun]] and [[Phoenix Ikki]]) but, due to the success of sales, they were soon followed by the 12 Gold Saints, the third version of the Bronze Cloths, the secondary Bronze Saints and the 3 Judges (Kyotos) of the Underworld (Griffon Minos will be released in November, joining Wywern Radhamantys and Garuda Aiacos). The God Warriors of Asgard and the Marinas, Poseidon's Generals, are also scheduled, with Dubhe Siegfried opening for the God Warriors and Kraken Isaac for the Marinas, followed by Seadragon Kanon. |
|||
The key characteristics of this collection are the high detail, the design and the fidelity to the anime. It replaces the classic models, called "die-cast" or "vintage", originally produced in the mid-80s in Japan. |
|||
Due to the international success of the line, Bandai also put the figures on sale in France, Spain, Brazil and Mexico. |

Until now, forty-seven figures have been launched and/or announced. Forty-five are already out, two are scheduled, and there are three Premium figures: '''Grand Pope Shion''', which comes with 13 display stands for the Gold Saints plus the Grand Pope and the face of Aries Shion, '''Pandora''', which now comes with four stands upon which to put the Three Judges of the Underworld and herself, '''Hades-possessed Shun'''. Additionally, the figure of the Crystal Saint, [[Cygnus Hyoga]]'s and [[Kraken Isaac]]'s trainer in the anime was released as an exclusive offer from Figure Ou magazine for Japan only, but was soon widely commercialized in Hong Kong as well. The rumored next special figure for 2008 will be none other than Saori Kido, the Reincarnation of the Goddess Athena herself. So far, only her silhouette has been hinted at in the flyer found inside the Thanatos packaging. |
