Who is Phoenix Ikki?
When it comes to raw power, Phoenix Ikki is the strongest Bronze Saint. Although recognized as a Bronze Saint of the 20th century, his power places him well above most Silver Saints. Almost the opposite of his younger brother Shun of Andromeda, Ikki is tough, cold, aggressive, and solitary; his Cosmo is unique, filled with hatred, rage, aggression, and incredible powers, yet guided by his deep love and loyalty to his brother, friends, and to Saori Kido. On the Death Queen Island where he was trained, Ikki witnessed the death of Esmeralda, a young woman he fell in love with during his training, and the death happened because of his failure. Esmeralda's death, along with Guilty's indifferent attitude, sparked his hatred for everything and everyone, driving him into a fury that led him to kill his master and obtain the Phoenix Armor. Ikki commanded the Black Saints in a quest for revenge but later regretted it and began to fight for the goddess Athena, helping his friends and brother whenever necessary. He was the first antagonist of the series but later became a powerful ally.
Exploring the Phoenix Ikki Deluxe statue:
Noble, complex, and mature, always willing to sacrifice his life for his friends when necessary, the most powerful and furious of the Bronze Saints stands on the stone steps of the Athena’s Sanctuary, the protective goddess of the world of men to whom he faithfully serves and protects. Prepared for battle, he has awakened his seventh sense, placing him among the ranks of the Gold Saints and Hades' Judges in terms of power and skill. On a base featuring the avatar of the mythical immortal bird that rises from the ashes and names the constellation it represents, Iron Studios proudly presents the statue "Phoenix Ikki - Saint Seiya - Deluxe Art Scale 1/10", with the Saint who, just like in the legend of the bird he is associated with, gains power each time he dies and is reborn. Iron Studios also brings the statue in the regular version "Phoenix Ikki - Saint Seiya - Art Scale 1/10", with a base formed by the crumbling steps of the Sanctuary, without the avatar in the form of the Phoenix.
Presented during the Inside Iron Studios Day of October and now available for Pre-order, check out the other statues from the Saint Seiya collection from Iron Studios, with the already revealed future releases: The Master of Sanctuary, Pegasus Seiya Deluxe, Cygnus Hyoga Deluxe, Dragon Shiryu Deluxe, Andromeda Shun Deluxe, featuring the Bronze Saints in regular versions and the goddess Athena in her Saori Kido Deluxe form.
