Hypnos: The God of Sleep. Bandai Cloth Myth.

The God of Sleep.

Wiki says: “The Greek god Hypnos is the personification of sleep and slumber, and the twin brother of Thanatos, the Greek god who personifies death and mortality. In the Saint Seiya mythos, although he is a subordinate of Hades, the Emperor of the Darkness and ruler of the Underworld, he is a deity with all attributes, and as his lord, he is a sworn enemy of the protector goddess of the Earth, Athena.”

Blah blah blah the end of the world, blah blah blah, doom, destruction and mayhem, blah blah blah.

Another design of the God Cloths (BIG boxes) from the Saint Seiya Hades series. Not only this looks classy, but somehow creepy.

Packed in a standard book style window box, The body is G3 with a large amount of articulation as usual. The figure is all plastic except for the feet which are made of die cast metal to match the armor.

As always, these guys seem to suffer alimentary disorders but it's for the armor to fit just right all over them.

This is a different sculpr for the head than thanatos; this one is corsseyed and looks stupid. The armor is a bitch to fit and has some quality issues; it's the first time I experience something like this with a cloth myth figure. The wings are all plastic, the same as the inner skirt.

Anyway, like Thanatos, Hypnos’s Cloth is equally as ornate. In classic art the God of sleep, Hypnos is traditional presented with peacock feathers and in a nod to that Hypnos’s Cloth comes styled with the peacock feathered motif. It sounds silly but it looks rather neat, especially in its object mode.

I'm feeling sleepy... I'll finish with this later. *yawns*

The result overall is beautiful, especially in it’s object mode. Some may say that the rounded edges look stupid, but that's the intention, this is a fucking peacock.

Did I REALLY need this???

NO, this is my second most expensive toy EVER and it's not as near as cool as his brother, but oh well.
