Bandai Spirits is selling the Saint Cloth Myth EX Sagittarius Seiya (God Cloth) by lottery rather than open pre-order: ¥27,500 (about $185) tax-in, with entries on the Tamashii Web Shop inside Premium Bandai from August 31, 2026 at 16:00 JST through September 17 at 23:00 JST, and shipping planned for October 2026. Tamashii Web lists the USA among the sales regions, but no Premium Bandai USA listing was up when we checked on August 31 — so US buyers have about two and a half weeks to sort out an entry route, most likely through a proxy.

Because it is a drawing, not first-come-first-served, there is no reason to rush the button on day one; an entry on September 17 counts the same as one today. Per Dengeki Hobby’s report on the listing, winners are notified in mid-September 2026 and then complete the purchase.

A form that existed only in a phone game

This is the God Cloth version of Sagittarius Seiya from the smartphone game Saint Seiya: Zodiac Brave, and Bandai says the figure marks the Saint Seiya 40th-anniversary event at TAMASHII NATIONS STORE SHANGHAI. The product page calls it a “phantom” form and headlines it “the phantom Cloth, finally manifested” — exactly the kind of one-off Bandai tends to put behind a lottery.

Mechanically it is built on the EX METAL body from the earlier Saint Cloth Myth EX Pegasus Seiya (God Cloth), adjusted so the Sagittarius God Cloth fits; the hair parts and mask were fine-tuned for this release, while the face plates are the same as the Pegasus version. The gold armor with the full wing set stands about 170 mm.

The object frame means the armor can be rebuilt into the Sagittarius totem for display, the same trick the line has used since the beginning — see our post on the revived Saint Cloth Series Pegasus Cloth for how far back that idea goes.

The deadline in US time

Entries close Thursday, September 17 at 23:00 JST, which is 10:00 AM ET / 7:00 AM PT that same Thursday. The window opened August 31 at 16:00 JST (3:00 AM ET / midnight PT).

How a US buyer can actually enter

Entering the lottery yourself means an account on the Japanese Premium Bandai site with a Japanese shipping address, which most overseas readers will not have. The tamashiiweb page shows a USA tab in its sales-site section, but that tab had no store link as of August 31; the page does note the item may later be sold through other channels or under different conditions, so a Premium Bandai USA offering is possible but not announced.

The realistic route today is a proxy service ordering from the Japanese page — the same route as any Tamashii Web exclusive, like the PROPLICA G Controller. The catch is that a lottery adds a step: the proxy has to enter the drawing during the window and win it, and not every service handles lottery entries, so confirm with your proxy before the September 17 cutoff rather than after. Our Buyee vs ZenMarket comparison covers how the fees and the second shipping leg work once a box is actually won.

We will track the entry deadline on the Pre-order Radar, and the rest of the line lives on our Saint Seiya hub.

Most Japanese shops ship worldwide by EMS/DHL (7–14 days). Duties and import taxes are charged on delivery in most countries — check your local threshold before ordering.
