Saint Seiya - Athena (Kido Saori) - HQS+ - 1/4 (Tsume)Athena (Kido Saori) · 1/4 · Tsume

Tsume presents Athena, also known as Kido Saori, from Saint Seiya as part of their HQS+ line at 1/4 scale. This large-scale statue stands approximately 750mm tall and is crafted from a combination of ABS, magnet, polyresin, polyurethane, and PVC materials. In Saint Seiya, Athena reincarnates once every 200 years to prevent evil from dominating the world, serving as the symbol of justice for all Saints. Saori is the adopted granddaughter of billionaire Mitsumasa Kido, who recognized her divine heritage and devoted himself to protecting her. Though she was a spoiled and haughty child who initially treated the orphans who would become her protectors poorly, she matured after learning the truth about her origins from her dying grandfather. She renounced her privileged lifestyle and embraced her duty, eventually earning the loyalty of the Bronze Saints. Saori is known as a serious, dutiful, and serene woman who is extremely forgiving, and her name fittingly means "nicely woven cloth," reflecting Athena's role as a goddess of crafts and weaving as well as war and wisdom. The figure was sculpted by a large team including Guillaume Hémery, Christophe Sperto, Patrick Tran, Eric Jolivalt, and several others, reflecting the complexity and ambition of this premium HQS+ release.
