Review: Myth Cloth Pegasus God Cloth Gold version-
Hello and I'm back with another review. This time on something different from the Saint Myth Cloth line. Not being a regular release in the Myth Cloth figure line. Still a welcome addition to my collection. I got mine at Toys n Joys. I ordered directly from Japan. Thank you Art for your accomodation as always.
The figure iitself from the Hades Elysion chapter of the Saint Seiya Original Video animation series. Reaching a climax. The bronze saints have to fight hades left and right hands Hypnos and Thanatos. Seiya engages in a fierce battle agains Thanatos. Later the other Bronze saints arrive in time to join the fight while Seiya has been holding off Thanatos a long time. Iwill get into more of that later on.
Bandai relesed this figure as a special edition exclusive only through the Tamashii Nations event. The regular release of the Pegasus God cloth is still available for those of you who want still want to collect get the figure or want to add it to your Myth Cloth collection. On with the review-
Packaging- The box is the same length and with as the regular release of the God Cloth Pegasus figure. Being a clam shell style that opens in the middle to show the contents in the boxes. A trademark style of Bandai with Saint Myth cloth figures from the very first release to the current releases.
Front view of the box looks similar to the box of the regular release of the God Pegasus. On the far right side shows the figure in its armor. On the left side shows the armor in its object/statue form. Over a blue background. Minus the image of the origina character shown in the Anime. Its nicely done. It shows the figure in detail.
On the back of the box shows a background scene from the OVA at Hades temple. Seiya in his armor approaching to rescue athena. To the right of that are pictures of the figure, briefly showing its features. To the top left shows the Pegasus Cloth in statue mode. Below that shows a picture with an added feature of this figure I will get into later on. The setting. background. layout of this scene is well done. Bandai did a good job with it. It shows Seiya's will to rescue Athena from Hades. After fighting hard to get to this 
The left tray contains- shoulder pieces, bicep pieces, guauntlets, a set of hand covers, a set of extra hands, leg and thigh pieces, knee protectors. head piece, extra hair piece for the head piece, body and chest armor, and collar piece.
The right tray contains an extra body armor, lower body pieces side skirt armor, front and back skirt armor, pegasus cloth object frame parts, wings, cloth object base, a plastic bag with an extra chest piece and sword I will talk about 
Figure front view.

The cloth object. The God Pegasus Cloth has never been seen in this form on the anime. But Bandai decided to add the feature to the set. It took me a few minutes to put this thing together. I had to put each of the armor pieces on the frame separately then put the statue together and set it on the base. I must say it looks really good. Very nice.

Must say the figure looks impressive. The armor is shiny. The gold really enhances the appearance giving that. Actual divine nature to it the armor actually represents. How does this armor form? For those of you who are wondering, thats what i will talk about next. Its actuall a combination of two cloths fused together to form that one divine cloth.
The Pegasus God Cloth is a combination of the pegasus Cloth and the Sagittarius gold cloth. During seiya's battle with thanatos, his pegasus cloth was destroyed later the Sagittarius gold cloth comes to aid him in the battle but it was not strong enough to hold out against Thanatos' attacks and it too was destroyed. Athena urges Seiya to raise his cosmo to a level beyond his exsisting limits. At the same time the two cloths fuse and form the Kamui of God form of the pegasus cloth.
The wings do open and fold in. It does have a large wingspan when the wings are spread out. Those feathered angel wings are from the sagittarius cloth when this God cloth was formed. Bandai did pay close attention to the details on this part. You can see each feather molded into the wings.
Bandai paid close attention to other details on the armor itself. All the raised details are visible right down to the hand covers. The armor doesn't hinder the joint movement so much. The figure can be posed in a variety of different poses even with the armor on.
Those of you who are wondering why there is an extra chest piece and a sword in the set. Towards the end of the series when Seiya rescues Athena he stands up against Hades. And Hades' sword hits seiyas chest during that fight. Bandai added those two pieces on the set to replicate that scene. The sword is molded to look like Seiya got stabbed with it. I thought this was a good idea. Again Bandai did a good job with this

It shows Seiya's will to rescue Athena from Hades. After fighting hard to get to this point. Lets dive in-
I've carefully removed the two plastic tray inserts from the box. One tray on each side. And having a clear plastic cover over them to keep the pieces in place. This keeps the pieces from going all over the place when the box is moved around. I remove the covers from each tray carefully making sure the pieces don't go everywhere.
The left tray contains- shoulder pieces, bicep pieces, guauntlets, a set of hand covers, a set of extra hands, leg and thigh pieces, knee protectors. head piece, extra hair piece for the head piece, body and chest armor, and collar piece.
The right tray contains an extra body armor, lower body pieces side skirt armor, front and back skirt armor, pegasus cloth object frame parts, wings, cloth object base, a plastic bag with an extra chest piece and sword I will talk about later.
Figure- I carefully removed the figure from its tray insert. Its a generation three figure. Something Bandai has been improving over the years as new figures in the Myth Cloth line have been released. Not only have the fighres improved in articulation but also but in haor and face sculpt as well. Making the figure look more anime accurate. I must say Bandai really paid close attention to this part.And well too. The figure is mostly plastic. The feet being metal. For added weiight allowing the figure to stand on its own whille assuming different poses. The figure has Hinged toes, swivel and hinged ankles, double joint knees, ball joint hips, ball joint wrist, double hinged elbows, swivel and hinged bidy, ball joint shoulders, and ball joint neck.

I had to put each of the armor pieces on the frame separately then put the statue together and set it on the base. I must say it looks really good. Very nice. The armor- After taking apart the cloth object, Which was a lot of pieces, I put the armor onto the figure. Starting with the feet and working my way up. The armor looked similar to the regular release God Pegasus. But this one was all gold. This is pretty much what the producers of the anime should have done was make Seiya's God Pegasus armor. Make it in gold when Seiya burned his cosmo energy to a divine level. Unfortunately that didn't happen. But, I would have like to see it. The armor being gold, does not have too much metal on it. Diecast parts include the arms, upper legs, knees, part of the chest, outer waist and shoulder pieces. All the rest is
plastic.

And Hades' sword hits seiyas chest during that fight. Bandai added those two pieces on the set to replicate that scene. The sword is molded to look like Seiya got stabbed with it. I thought this was a good idea. Again Bandai did a good job with this feature.
Seiya after pulling Hades' sword from his chest. Verdict- Its a very nice figure. As I always said it many times, Bandai did a good job with
it. I was impressed with it. Only thing i gotta watch out for is the knee armor. It falls off the figure sometimes when handling it. But thats a minor thing. Its not a big deal. Still its a very nice figure. I would recommend it to collectors or Saint Seiya fans who collect the figures. This figure a toy not for kids. Its aimed for the adult collectors. I seemed to have noticed this with the Saint Myth cloth line. Just collecting a few of them. So once again thank you Art for your accomodation on ordering this figure.
