One of the easiest figures to obtain for the RDF series is Zor Prime or known in the original Southern Cross series as Seifriet Weibe. An important character in both series, it was a good subject choice for Matchbox to produce but the results less than desirable.

I am sure if you went into a Kaybee Toy & Hobby or Playco Toys store today you can most likely still find these figures marked down from $2.95 to 10 for 1 cent. A Legendary Peg Warmer!

Bandai kicks off a new line of figures called Armor Plus and the first in the series is Alto Saotome and his Ex-Gear.

Kivatte Ikuse!

I am sure new collectors of vintage Japanese Soft Vinyl toys believe that many classic characters might be out of their reach or price range due to high demand and a diminished supply of figures available. Rightfully so many of those high dollar figures are worth their value but there are quite of few high quality soft vinyl figures of classic characters still available for mere pocket change.

The saga of Saint Seiya continues and Bandai has new Saint Cloth Myth to show for it. I take a look at the first release from Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas. It's Pegasus Tenma.

To celebrate international Soul of Soft Vinyl Week on CDX Leonardo Flores reviews release #36 Tackle from Kamen Rider Stronger. "Although I will say there is some nice Zettai Ryouiki action going on here!"

I finally round off the Surplice reviews of the resurrected Gold Saint with Aquarius Camus. HD Video included.

"Here comes double trouble!"

Awwwwwww, Seiya broke his Cloth...

Hands down, the biggest of the Saint Cloth Myth releases and possibly the heaviest release to date. I take a look at an earlier Saint Cloth Myth release, Taurus Aldebaran. Includes HD VIDEO.

So, this set is a mixed bag of tricks- I like the overall anime-style of the figure and line details, but some of the poseability is confusing & annoying.

Video review included!

Aside from the oddly-chosen way the arms behave compared to each other, the minor limits with the skirt armor, and the rather-noticeable lack of paint on the back & arms, this set is definitely something you want to collect.
