Patriarch, from "Saint Seiya - Vintage" collection, includes the following accessories:
The Patriarch is the villain of the Sanctuary Saga, the most famous and beloved saga of the Knights of the Zodiac among fans. In principle, he is Athena's protector, but for some reason his motivations change and he wants to get rid of her and take her power for himself.
This figure was part of BANDAI Japan's gift campaign. By mailing the toy company proof of purchase of certain figures from the line, you were entered into a drawing, and the winners received this figure in the mail.

Like the other figures "Presento", it comes in a very austere white box with instructions on the back and the figure inside in plastic bags.
The fact that it is such an expensive and sought-after figure led to the creation of a very similar (practically identical) bootleg in Taiwan, and today there are many of these fake copies circulating in stores and on internet portals.
Whether due to bad faith or ignorance on the part of the seller, the copies are often advertised as originals. If you want to know how to distinguish between the original and the copy, here is a video by our friend JapanGeek, where he makes a very good comparison of the two.
