Weird Manga Figures

Post by action-figure-supplies »

I got these bad boys in a job lot ages ago and I've never been able to find any information on them. No makers mark, they just say made in china on them. The accessories are metal. Does anyone know what they are?

Well after a bit of Googling I found out what bits go where and here they are all geared up and looking pretty damn cool if I do say so.
They're for sale if anyone wants to make me an offer. ;)

I looked on ebay, they're pretty valuable from what I could tell.

They are Saint Seiya figures. The blond with closed eyes is clearly Shaka, knight of Virgo. I didn't recognise the other one was Death Mask (knight of Cancer) until I saw the geared up pic.

I have one MOC, but as it is not my sign I can easily part with it. Will post a picture soon.

The funny thing is that most collectors are interested on the 12 gold knights/saints (the zodiac-based ones) when the bronze ones are the main characters (even the title, Saint Seiya, refers to Seiya the knight of Pegasus)
