Did someone say "Microman"?

:D

Hey thanks for the shout out, Josh! As for not being on the staff, I've been thinking of maybe getting in on the reviews sometime next year if you'll have me aboard. I've got a whole mess of stuff I'd love to go into (see: http://www.flickr.com/photos/microbry/collections/72157607190883266/ ). Will need to get a slightly better set-up going here for shooting review-style photos though. :)

To answer Josh's question.

To answer Josh's question. The reason why the Saint Seiya characters have funky names is probably due to the cast being multi-national. I seems that Kurumada actually did some research on the other cultures for the series. I will probably cover that aspect in one of my reviews. As for the case of Leo Aioria , I tried to hunt down his nationality, but did not come up with anything. My guess would be that he is from Greece or from a place that likes to name their kids after female genitalia. haha.

Also there were a few lines of Saint Seiya figures in the 80's . Including the Spiral Zone, which you guys mentioned and another line that was similar to the Saint Cloth Myth line since it included the figure and die-cast armor.
