Masami Kurumada is one of the most recognizable faces of the Japanese shonen scene, the author of one of Jump Magazine’s most popular titles: Saint Seiya: The Knights of the Zodiac. In fact, the Greek mythology-inspired series continues to fascinate millions of fans around the world today.

The popularity of the franchise has guaranteed the saga quite a few projects inspired by the Knights of the Zodiac, only a few of which are actually canon. However, more than 35 years after the debut of the first episode of Saint Seiya, the series continues to enjoy one of Shueisha’s most prolific merchandising phenomena.

In fact, only recently FOC studio has unveiled its latest scale model, the same one you can better appreciate in the image gallery at the bottom of the news, which brings back one of the knights loyal to the goddess Athena, Crystal the swan, also known as in Japan Hyoga. The statuette in question, 43 cm high, can already be pre-ordered with a deposit of 150 euros, of which another 360 euros are to be paid at the time of shipment, which will not, however, take place before the third quarter of 2022.

And you, instead, what do you think of this character that portrays Cristal intending to prepare one of his deadly attacks, performing the usual movement that traces the stars of his constellation? Let us know with a comment below.
