The exhibition, held in Sala Canova inside Japan Town, will be curated by Saint Seiya Vintage Italia and will present the merchandising related to this phenomenon.
Two editions released between 1989 and 1990 will be presented, retracing the story of the brave heroes of the galactic war against Neptune. An unmissable opportunity relive those emotions and discover trivia that distinguish the Italian editions. Visitors may admire 49 action figures, 17 of the first edition with collectible boxes and instructions and 32 of the second edition with all the variations, some of which are extremely rare.
