SAINT SEIYA 2018 SERIES

On May 2011 Bandai announced the expansion of a whole new line-up from the Myth Cloth series - Saint Seiya Myth Cloth EX & Saint Seiya Cloth Crown. Due to the higher detailed and enhanced sculpting for the specific line-up, it is intended for either display as a bust size figure or you can change/swap the head and Cloth parts with existing Myth Cloth figures to enhance their aesthetics. The line-up is focused on half size bust of the characters, characters in their casual outfits, and Cloth boxes for the Cloths. In 2007, Bandai released a 'side' line-up called Saint Seiya Myth Cloth Appendix.

Due to all the new technology and high end approach in molding and sculpting, Saint Cloth Myth figures are costly compared to its predecessor but that does not stop its success and demand.

The figures have a vast improvement over the '80s vintage figures, introducing better articulation and are capable of posing and revoking some of the action portrayed by the characters in the animation and the high detailed molding and sculpting produce a highly detailed resemblance of the characters seen in the animation as well. A frequent release are the Original Color Editions, which are repainted versions with the colors of the original manga, although the figures still use the anime designs. Aside from normal releases there are also limited editions with extra clothing or furniture. Since its introduction in 2003, the line-up has the release of mnay characters in the Saint Seiya universe and has gained mostly positive reviews from old and new collectors as well as fans. The line mainly uses the designs of the animated versions of the characters from the first animated series but has release a few of the spin-of series such as Omega and Saintia Sho. It was originally intended that the 5 Bronze Saints were to be released to commemorate the series 12th anniversary and for the then upcoming Hades Arc OVA in 2003. Template:Nihongo is a popular toy-line from Bandai based on the Saint Seiya franchise.
