The second of the first wave of Anime Heroes models for the Saint Seiya franchise, Aiolos is the saint that saved baby Athena at the cost of his own life, and put in motion the events that unravel the betrayal at Sanctuary.
Older brother of the gold Leo saint Aiolia, he was destined to become the next Grand Pope of the Saints, chosen protector of the godess Athena.
The model comes packed in a transparent front box, sporting artwork on all sides, and the range at the back.
Inside, Aiolos is protected by a plastic insert, the wings going through the back to prevent them from getting bent when the boxes might get handled roughly.
He has two pair of hands, one set in fists, one with open fingers. I opted to make the combination of him launching the Atomic Thunderbolt attack, his main combat move apart from his bow.
Which is my biggest grief perhaps with this model. A bow accesory would have been a fantastic addition, even if it was one in "folded up" form, because the Sagittarius saint sans bow just doesn`t feel complete in my opinion.
One big benefit though for the gold saints, as they have "skirt" pieces in their armour, the joints are better covered then with the Seiya model I reviewed last month.
All in all it is not a bad action figure, but as I said, it's a shame there is no bow.
