Saint Seiya Myth Cloth New Info: Black Saga Ares and Original Color Aquarius Camus Arrive
Saint Seiya Myth Cloth Updates: Black Saga Ares and Original Color Aquarius Camus
Exciting new updates have been revealed for the Saint Seiya Myth Cloth series, featuring two major highlights: the imposing Black Saga version of Ares, God of War, and the return of the original color Aquarius Camus. Let’s dive into the details of these upcoming collectibles.
Black Saga Ares: The Dominant God of War
First up is the fearsome Ares, the ultimate antagonist from Saint Seiya: Saintia Shō. This figure is based on the resurrected Black Saga (Eris’s incarnation), showcasing his overwhelming power. Pre-orders open in October, and the set includes an array of accessories, such as a sword and the golden apple, making it a standout addition to the Myth Cloth lineup.
Priced at 13,000 JPY, it’s slightly more expensive than the Gemini Gold Cloth Saga, though it’s unlikely to see significant price inflation in the secondary market. The design stays faithful to the anime, using the Gemini Gold God Cloth as a base but with a striking red-and-silver color scheme. Key modifications include the wings—replacing the original angel-demon duality with a grand, unified wing design—and the iconic papal helmet worn by Saga.
Original Color Aquarius Camus: A Nostalgic Reissue
Next is the re-release of original color Aquarius Camus, part of the series’ occasional reissues. While the quality remains consistent with previous releases, some fans may be disappointed by the lack of upgrades, such as the hair sculpt not matching the level of detail seen in the Hades-themed figures. That said, collectors who haven’t ventured into the original color line can safely skip this one.
For those already invested in the original color series, this release is a low-risk addition. Unlike the highly sought-after original color Aries, Aquarius Camus is reasonably priced and unlikely to become a rare exclusive.
A Brief Respite for Collectors
With no major releases slated for March, this lull in the Myth Cloth schedule offers fans a chance to save up for future drops. While the Aquarius Camus reissue may not be groundbreaking, it’s a solid option for completists. Meanwhile, the Black Saga Ares stands out as a must-have for fans of the series’ villains and intricate designs.
Whether you’re drawn to the imposing presence of Ares or the nostalgic charm of Camus, these updates keep the Saint Seiya Myth Cloth line as engaging as ever.
