Selon Le Mag Jeux High-Tech, la précommande de la Saint Cloth Series Seiya de Pégase – première armure de bronze – édition limitée s’est ouverte au Japon le 27 août 2026 à 16 heures, au prix de 11 000 yens. Tamashii Web confirme le retour de la gamme Bandai Spirits, avec une figurine articulée d’environ 12 cm accompanied by a limited Cloth Box containing the armor. Nearly 40 years after the original line, the interest lies less in a detailed statuette than in a technical reconstruction of the period toy, its assembly and its materials.
Format, articulation et matériaux
Tamashii Web explains that the Seiya figure retains the impression of the original face while incorporating adjustments made with current modeling technology. The Saint Cloth Series therefore does not follow the visual priorities of the recent Myth Cloth EX figures: the proportions and attachment principle return closer to the historic product.
The armor is scanned along with the underlying body and the presentation frame. The stated objective is to reproduce the balance of the period model while improving the ease of handling. The figure uses an articulated body on which the armor can be assembled, as on the original line.
Certain parts of the armor incorporate die-cast metal. According to Le Mag Jeux High-Tech, this concerns emblematic components such as the breastplate, greaves and arm guards. For a collector, the distinction is material: the product should not be assessed solely on its surface finish, but also on the presence of these metal elements and on the consistency of the assembly.
Armure, cadre et Coffre d’armure
The set includes a presentation frame intended to reconstruct the Pegasus constellation in the form of a winged horse with the bronze armor. The same piece can therefore serve as a support for the assembled Seiya or as a display base for the completed constellation object.
Accessory nomenclature requires attention. Tamashii Web designates the additional case as a Cloth Box, while Le Mag Jeux High-Tech describes it as a Pandora Box, including its own presentation base. The two names do not seem to correspond to two different objects in the available information, but the exact commercial designation should be checked on the final product sheet.
Tamashii Web specifies that the Cloth Box is included with the initial production. Its design was reconstructed from surviving documentation concerning the original campaign accessory, with packaging intended to recall the parts still mounted on their sprues. This detail matters for a complete set: the box is not merely packaging, but a dated component of the edition.
The product is also listed by the French specialist retailer Myth Factory, which has opened reservations according to Le Mag Jeux High-Tech. This does not establish a French release date or an allocation. Japanese availability is announced for January 2027; the date applicable to an imported unit remains to be confirmed with the seller.
Contrôles before reservation
The first point to verify is the exact content of the box. The available documentation establishes the presence of Seiya, an articulated body, removable armor, metal parts, a presentation frame and the additional case. It does not provide a precise inventory of every small part or the final French packaging.
The second point concerns the finish. No sufficiently precise information is given here on paint, shading or possible color variations between metal and plastic areas. Final official photographs will be more useful than the announcement images for judging these points.
The third point is the material balance. With an announced height of about 12 cm, the figure is not a large display piece. Its added value comes from the movable structure, the metal inserts and the possibility of handling the armor, rather than from a highly elaborate sculpt.
Finally, the price must be compared in the correct currency. The figure is announced at 11 000 yens in Japan, but the evidence does not provide a French price, delivery costs or customs conditions. The limited status is established; the exact production run is not specified. For a collection centered on vintage Saint Seiya figures, these are the elements to validate before treating the Cloth Box edition as a complete reference.
