Bandai can't put out these EX

Bandai can't put out these EX guys fast enough. I'm really looking forward to getting the EX V2 Bronze Saints to finally swap out the baby head V2's on the shelf. Now if only I could find a V1 Seiya for less than an arm and a leg.

Thanks! The V1 Cloth from

Thanks!

The V1 Cloth from the anime was an exclusive, since the only thing the anime and manga version really share in common was the breastplate that only covers the left side. Although the Cloth for this toy may look like the V1 of the manga, it is actually quite different. The V1 Cloth for Seiya in the manga was a much basic design. The armor for this toy is actually Seiya's fourth armor in the manga, since it was rebuilt after it is destroyed by Shiryu , then the Silver Saints, then the Gold Saints. The design is actually pretty much the same as it appears in the anime, since at this point the Cloths of the anime and the manga are all the same.

It is worth checking out,

It is worth checking out, especially if you haven't watched the anime in a while. The Hades chapter is pretty much the same as the anime, but the Sanctuary arc in the manga has some differences that make it worth reading. You get to experience the series as Kurumada intended. The pace is much faster, since all of the filler episodes and character are not there, like the Ghost Saint, Docrates, the Fire Saint and the Steel Saints.

Next Dimension

Oh hey.Is the Next Dimension manga still being released? I read a good part of it, and then I couldn't find translations for it, so I wasn't sure if Kurumada stopped writing it or nobody was translating it anymore.

I hear you. I have mixed

I hear you. I have mixed feelings about it too. I mean a EX Gemini Kanon is great because Kanon is a pretty badass character.
Then on the other hand, the only difference between this and the Saga is the hair color.
But then on the other, other hand, that is the only difference between the two characters in the show.
Then you have to factor in the fact that it is going to be an exclusive figure, so it is going to be pricey.

I kind of want it and I hate paying for repaints , but I may just give in and get one just to have the brothers together,

question about the belt buckle

I wonder if you have a problem with the belt buckle keep falling off when put onto the figure? Mine has that problem and it is annoying me. I was thinking about super glue it to one side of the belt so I can still open and close it normally.

I didn't really get why the

I didn't really get why the darker color is there for some parts of his body... I guess you can just pretend that is shade...

The absence of broken feet doesn't really bother me even if they included in other releases. Their Clothes don't usually get damaged on the feet (I don't remember ever seeing that). That makes sense, since they don't usually get knocked specifically on their feet, lol (and probably wouldn't walk any longer if they would). Even so, the feet are shiny enough to reflect the Cloth fissures, giving you the illusion that they are also damaged.

Nice review. The figure seems great. If they released some V1 EX version, it would be possible to change some parts to make his Cloth look like his first manga Cloth. You can still kinda pretend he's using the second one, though. Sorry, I just become a child again while seeing these figures.

Don't know why, Seiya is the figure I would most like to play with. Maybe because he appears more than others and really moves a lot on the show, especially getting beaten up. That makes me think about how good would be having for him an accessory to simulate his endless amount of blood.
