The latest model of the Constellation Warriors line by Nonsense Miniatures I finished painting, is a personal favorite saint of mine, Unicorn Jabu.
Hotheaded and fiercely loyal to Athena, he is the childhood rival of Seiya in vying for her attention.
So if you watched the original anime, it is a bit of a suprise he didn`t become one of the original antagonists, as all the pointers where there that he would be a mainline character in the first episodes. Instead, he becomes the leader of the second group of Athena's bronze saints, who while having their moments (protecting Athena after she had fallen at Sanctuary, or Seiya's sister in the Hades arc), never got out of the shadows.
The model itself is cast in resin and nicely detailed. I especially love the flowing hair on him, nicely sculpted and casted, though at the cost of him not becoming the helmeted version as seen in most of the anime. His manga counterpart, as well as his Lost Canvas ancestor Yato, wear this style of headcover though, so it's fine.
Unicorn Gallop!
