From the top of a concrete altar, a beautiful young woman with lean and curvy body, a delicate face, and pink lips, wearing a long white dress, she raises her sacred staff above her long purple hairs, pointing it up, with a peaceful and calm countenance. Underneath her feet, over the millennial steps of her sanctuary, rest five Pandora Boxes of the Bronze Saints Pegasus, Cygnus, Dragon, Andromeda, and Phoenix, containing the respective powerful Cloths, for the five hero defenders of the goddess Athena reborn to protect the world in the 20th Century. Iron Studios proudly present the exclusive statue “Saori Kiddo Deluxe – Saint Seiya – Art Scale 1/10”, the reincarnation of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, war, strategy, justice, and hope.

Noticed and praised for her beauty, Saori is Athena reborn, a symbol of justice for all the Saints, she is the goddess that inherited from Zeus, her real father, control over the Earth. Reincarnating once every 200 years to prevent evil from dominating the world, she grew up as the adoptive granddaughter of Mitsumasa Kiddo, a Japanese businessman who visited the ruins of Athena’s temple in Greece. While exploring the ruins he found Sagittarius Aiolos mortally wounded carrying a baby. He gave the kid to Kiddo, who adopted her, and took her to Japan where she received the name of Saori Kiddo and was declared granddaughter of Mitsumasa. At first, she did not get along well with the children who would eventually become her protectors. Her cosmos is able to cure the Saints on the brink of death and her blood can reveal the hidden power of the Cloths. Guarded by the 12 Gold Saints and the 5 Bronze Saints, she has a powerful Cosmos of Light, capable of great deeds, such as stopping the slide of the Argard’s glaciers and stopping Poseidon from flooding the world, besides stunning enemies. She is in love with Seiya, but both know that they cannot be together. Originally created in the manga by Masami Kurumada in 1986 and adapted to the anime by Toei Animation between 1986 and 1989, the show Saint Seiya tells the story of five mystic Bronze Saints who fight to protect the human reincarnation of the goddess Athena, wearing sacred cloths based on many different constellations.
