Myth Cloth Review : Siren Sorrento

Next up on the review block is : Siren Sorrento

Quick Bio:
Siren Sorrento is the guardian of the South Atlantic Ocean pillar and the messenger of Poseidon.His attacks rely on his flute( The Dead End Symphony and the Dead End Climax), which can play directly into the human mind, as Taurus Aldebaran discovers when he takes his own hearing in an attempt to escape his deadly melody.


Pros

This a a beautiful figure! It is simply amazing from head to toe. His cloth covers more of his body than any of the other Generals, and covers just as much as Poseidon's. Since it should be noted that the higher a cloth is  in rank the more it covers his body (bronze< silver < gold <god), could this be Kurumada's way of hinting that his Scale is the closest to a God's out of all of the Marine Generals?
He comes with a few extras , like two sets of wings (one full and one short), a cape( although the material is just as cheap as the material for the Gold Saints' capes). He also comes with two sets of fists ( one with armor and one without).
Siren Sorrento comes one hand for holding his flute and one set of hands for playing his flute. So you can pose him holding his flute...
and playing his flute....
And standing there looking pretty (without his flute)...

He has a very nice and very bishounen face sculpt


And being too good for the camera!... And well that brings us to the next part of the review

Cons
While his scale is beautiful to look at, it is very restricting due to the fact that it covers most of his body. It also makes it hard for him to stand up on his own , due to the weight of the figure. For this reason I have him set up on a stand , so he doesn't fall over.

Verdict
An awesome figure  hindered by limited mobility. However, when all is said and done, he can pull of his signature flute playing pose  while looking, and for that he gets major points. It is a must get in my book, although some may shy away from it due to its limited articulation with his Scale on.
