Hello! We are "Mundo Geek" (Geek World)! #TodosSomosHunters (#WeAreHunters)...
Hello! You are watching Madhunter Channel.
In this episode, we are going to elevate our cosmos with Saint Seiya and the Knights of the Zodiac!!!
These toys are one of my best childhood memories...
I remember saving all the money I had to buy these awesome toys.
Because they were very expensive in those days!
All the figures you see here are vintage and from the first productions.
They were produced with Bandai´s license from 1986 till 1989!
Originally they were made in Japan, but the ones that were sold in Mexico were French and Spanish.
All the boxes written in Spanish were made in Taiwan or China that´s why they have less quality.
In Mexico, the anime had a big delay in the episodes...
So the figures that were sold in the stores were different versions than the characters we used to see on the TV!!!
For example, the Pegasus Seiya figure was sold with the mask of the second armor.
This was very confusing for us because we were used to seeing him with the horse helmet.
We can see that the boxes were printed in 1987 which is the year of production...
But the import sticker says that these toys went through customs in 1994!!!
The gap between those years was big!!!
There were a lot of characters that never were sold in Mexico...
The reason was that we depended on the European production.
We enjoyed playing with 4 collections of this saga...
The Gold Saints, The Odin Warriors, The Poseidon Warriors, and The Bronze Saints!
The Bronze Saints were not the strongest ones but they were the main characters of the saga.
In Mexico, we hadn't the opportunity to have all the figures from the Poseidon Warriors...
Imagine our frustration as children to know that in Japan they had rare toy figures such as...
Kraken Isaac, Chrysaor Krishna, or Lyumnades Caça!!!
Those were only available in Japan! That is why nowadays they are toy grails in Mexico and Europe.
It also happened with the Odin Warriors collection!
Characters like Thor de Phecda, Benetnasch Eta or Megrez Delta were not sold in our country.
But something I won't forgive is that we didn't have the opportunity to play with Alcor Zeta Bud!!!
We even didn't know that this Holy Grail existed!
But let´s stop complaining and get into these great figures that a gave us a lot of fun!
The art in the boxes and the design made this toys unique!
Most of them have a window and we can see the figure without opening the box.
Is awesome for collectors like me, because you can take out the figure, admire it and put it back again in the box!
This is the same packaging concept that Hot Toys and Marvel Legends use nowadays!
Now we know where they get those "great ideas"!
This is a Japanese figure... They don't have the window and the flap on the top.
Over here is the text: "Made in Japan"!
The other version says: "Made in Taiwan"!
A really cool thing is that they recreated scenes from the cartoon in the back of the box!
For many years, I had the doubt of why some boxes were written in Spanish and other in French...
After studying the boxes...
I realized that some of them were distributed by Bandai in UK and others by Bandai in France!
Of course, both companies bought the license to manufacture them!
And they made them in Taiwan or China because...
Industries were not manufacturing in their countries anymore.
But the Japanese versions were made in Japan!
I think that nowadays is more easy for kids to go online and look for their favorite series!
But for us was very difficult to see the new chapters of the series...
We had to wait for 1 week to see a new one!!! And they had a lot of commercials!!!
It was very difficult for us to follow the story because they also used to repeat old chapters every time.
Even if these figures are not so old, they are very hard to find them complete. They have a lot of pieces!
The series still trendy because the nostalgic people like me and the new generations are enjoying it.
Such is the hype for this series that in 2000 Bandai launched reeditions of the figures!
They included figures from the expanded universe and the quality of the armor is amazing.
Did you know that Mexico is the second community of fans after Japan of this series?
And the best part is that you can buy most of these vintage figures for reasonable prices!
You can buy one of them in its original box for $40 to $50 USD!
Reeditions costs to 4 to 5 times more!
So my advice to you is to buy Vintage!!!
Note that these figures are the beginnings and part of the history!
Most of the parts of the armor are made from metal but others were made in chrome plastic.
A major issue with this parts is that the paint comes off really easy.
There are 2 reasons for that problem. The first one is that they were made poorly done...
When the manufacturers did not clean the metal well and had a bad use of the pieces...
The paint could come off!
This mistake is known as peppering...
The second and most common reason is that when we were kids and played with them our hands got sweaty.
That sweat oxidate the metal and the chrome.
That´s another reason why is difficult to find them in good conditions.
This is the object, which is an animal or a stand to put the armor.
This one from Epsilon is one of my favorites!
This is the most delicate piece because is made of plastic and the paint comes off really easy.
In some countries, they tried to prohibit the series because it had a lot of violence!
Even if the cartoon had already been edited!
This series also has awesome Holy Grails!
Such as Odin God Robe and the Pope Shion!!!
The Black Saints were also toy Grails from this series.
These kinds of figures are very rare because...
They were a mail-away gift for those kids that sent the proofs of purchase!
That kind of promotion caused that a lot of boxes were cut by the parents.
But don´t go crazy because this promotion only happened in Japan!
This is an example of the toy kids used to receive in the mail after sending the proofs of purchase.
Notice that it is very simple but it´s an incredible piece!!!
When you open it you can see there is no window or any pretty details...
But when you open this you can see the treasure inside it! This is the Black Andromeda.
If you are a veteran follower of the channel you will remember that I bought this figure in a toy store in Paris!
I have a very few toys from my childhood... And this Sea Horse is one of those things!
It has storage ware markings but I think I preserved this toy with love!
They are so beautiful toys that many children kept them.
This series has a lot of memorabilia...
Such as toys, sticker albums, pencil cases, pajamas, cake molds, and more!
And of course, there are bootleg figures!!!
Some of them were made in China, Mexico, and many other countries.
One of my favorite bootleg items is this sticker album!
It´s from the collection #1 and it has the Steel Saints in the cover.
The illustrations are unique!
It´s a bit rustic but that´s what makes it so special!
I still missing stickers, but I have some envelopes over here.
Let´s open one of them!
This is 100% made in Mexico and they were sold outside the schools or at the stationary shop.
I put all these figures together and it was really fun!
I was a bit scared of doing it because some of the pieces are very fragile...
When I was doing it... I got a great flashback!!!
Who does not remember having colored this type of prints of the Saints!
Sometimes my friends and I preferred to color them than playing with the toys!
It was a boom! There were sold everywhere.
And you could choose your favorite Saint Seiya character to color it!
The intro of the cartoon was amazing! I remember that when it started I used to jump on the bed an sing!!!
I´m telling you a lot of my childhood! LOL
But I'm sure you did the same! I can imagine you guys, imitating the powers such as...
The Aurora Borealis, the Nebula Chain, or the Pegasus Meteor Fist!!!
And to let you know what a fan I was... I'll tell you an anecdote from my childhood.
When I was a little kid I used to have remedial classes with a Peruvian teacher...
My bad luck was that the classes were at the same time as the cartoon.
I don´t know if my mom did that to punish me!!! LOL
But I think I was smarter! The class started but after a few minutes...
I asked the teacher to let me go to the restroom. Of course, I ran to the TV to watch the show!
I returned to the class when the commercials started and then I do the same trick 2 more times!
But the teacher realized that I was not going to the restroom and I was watching the TV!!!
So I told him that it was my favorite cartoon and that it was a new episode!
So I convinced him to watch it with me...
Then we made an arrangement that every time he went to my house, first we would see the cartoon and...
Then I could put my best effort in the class!
If you noticed, this saga was especially focused on the boys!
There are very few woman characters...
And a curious fact was that in each season there was an exotic character...
In the Bronze Saints was Andromeda...
In the Gold Saints was Pisces...
In the Poseidon Warriors was Siren Sorrento...
Finally in the Odin Warriors was Eta!!!
It´s really cool that even all the critics that this anime got because...
Of the violence and these characters still the best anime for many people!
Until these days we are true fans of this cartoon!
Leave your comment with a memory about this "Chipotluda" (vintage slang for cool) saga!
(That´s so vintage dude!)
