Blokees - Saint Seiya Champion Class 09 Dragon Shiryu

The Blokees Champion Class 09 Dragon Shiryu brings one of the most iconic Bronze Saints from Saint Seiya to life in the form of an articulated model kit to assemble. Inspired directly by Masami Kurumada's manga, Shiryu is reproduced with his Dragon Cloth, numerous interchangeable parts, and extensive articulation allowing you to recreate his most famous poses and techniques.

With its 104 pieces, height of approximately 13.5 cm, and 40 points of articulation, this Champion Class figure combines the building experience of a model kit with the display possibilities of a high-end articulated figure.

Dragon Shiryu in a manga-faithful design

This version of Shiryu is inspired by his classic appearance in Saint Seiya. The work done on the different parts of his armor reproduces the characteristic lines of the Dragon Cloth, with detailed sculpting and precise separation of the different color zones.

The parts are pre-painted, allowing for a particularly clean finish directly after assembly. No painting work is necessary to fully enjoy the model, although enthusiasts are naturally free to add their own finishes.

104 pieces and tool-free assembly

The Dragon Shiryu Champion Class consists of 104 pieces to assemble. Blokees uses a snap-fit system allowing you to build the character without glue and without any specific tools.

Assembly is therefore an integral part of the experience, while remaining accessible to collectors looking for a detailed figure without necessarily practicing traditional model making.

40 points of articulation

Once assembled, Shiryu features 40 points of articulation. This structure allows you to widely adjust the position of the head, torso, arms, and legs to reproduce both calm poses and very dynamic combat positions.

This mobility is particularly suited to Shiryu, whose techniques rely on wide and immediately recognizable movements. It thus becomes possible to stage the Dragon Saint in poses inspired by his iconic attacks, notably the Rozan Shō Ryū Ha.

Interchangeable torso

One of the features of this Champion Class figure is the presence of an interchangeable torso. This additional part allows you to change the presentation of the character and obtain several display configurations with the same kit.

This feature complements the many other optional parts and brings more variety than a traditional articulated figure.

Interchangeable faces

Several interchangeable face sculpts are provided to change Shiryu's expression depending on the scene depicted.

The character can thus adopt a more neutral attitude for display or a much more intense expression when placed in a combat pose.

Interchangeable headpiece

The kit also includes an interchangeable headpiece, allowing you to vary the appearance of the head and present Shiryu in different configurations inspired by the manga.

The combination of interchangeable faces, headpiece, and torso multiplies the presentation possibilities without having to completely disassemble the model.

Multiple hands for combat poses

Different interchangeable hands are included to reproduce Shiryu's characteristic gestures. They allow you to go from a relaxed pose to much more expressive positions suited to his combat techniques.

These options take on their full value with the model's 40 points of articulation and allow you to create much more natural displays.

Dedicated display stand

A display stand is directly included in the box. It allows you to stabilize Shiryu in the most dynamic poses and facilitates its integration into a Champion Class collection.

The stand is particularly practical for positions in which the legs or the character's center of gravity do not allow for a perfectly stable display without assistance.

Pre-painted parts and precise color separation

Blokees directly applies the main colors and details to the different parts of the kit. This pre-painted finish, combined with precise color separation, allows you to obtain a finished result without having to take out brushes or paints.

This approach brings the Champion Class closer to a collectible figure while retaining the pleasure of building a real model kit.

A figure designed to join the entire Champion Class range

Dragon Shiryu carries the number 09 in the Saint Seiya Champion Class range. Its dimensions are designed to remain consistent with the other Saints offered in this collection, allowing you to gradually gather the Bronze Saints and Gold Saints under the same format.

Shiryu can thus be displayed alongside Pegasus Seiya, Cygnus Hyoga, Phoenix Ikki, or the various Gold Saints already available in the Blokees range.
