Saint Seiya Deluxe Art Scale Statue 1/10 Dragon Shiryu 38 cm

On the stairs connecting the Twelve Houses in the mythical Sanctuary of Athena, among the worn steps and crumbling marble pillars, the saint whose name means Purple Dragon due to his constellation, raises his right hand with an extremely serene expression preparing his secret technique. Burning a powerful cosmos, with long dark hair raised and the figure of a translucent emerald dragon with LED lights surrounding him, he creates a burst shape that will hurl any opponent into the air, a power capable of even reversing the flow of a waterfall. Iron Studios proudly presents its statue "Dragon Shiryu Deluxe - Saint Seiya - Art Scale 1/10", the most mature and wise of the 5 Bronze Saints charged with the mission of protecting the goddess Athena, in a Deluxe version with two interchangeable heads, one with the helmet and the other without. Iron Studios also brings the regular version of the "Dragon Shiryu - Saint Seiya - Art Scale 1/10" statue, without the extra head or the translucent Dragon figure surrounding the Bronze Saint, above the base of the stone steps of the Sanctuary. Shiryu wears the Emerald Bronze Cloth of the Draco constellation, a jewel among other clothes for its legendary defensive properties. Little is known about his childhood, he was adopted by Mitsumasa Kido and, under the care of the Graad Foundation, trained with 99 other orphans. After a few years there was finally a lottery that would reveal where each of the 100 children would be sent to receive further training in order to earn a Cloth and become a Saint. Shiryu was sent to train at the Five Ancient Peaks of Lushan, China, where he would be trained by the Gold Saint Dohko, also known as the Old Master. After years of intense training, Shiryu finally managed to pass the final test of reversing the cascade of the Five Peaks and earned the Dragon Cloth. Tall and dark-haired, Shiryu has a dragon tattoo on his back that appears whenever his cosmos is at its maximum, and the right dragon claw shows exactly where his heart is located. Originally created as a manga by Masami Kuramada in 1986 and adapted into an anime by Toei Animation between 1986 and 1989, the Saint Seiya show tells the story of 5 mystical Bronze Saints who fight to protect the human incarnation of the Goddess Athena, wearing sacred robes based on many constellations.
