Let's ignore the fact that several attempts at adapting Saint Seiya for the west were made with no fruit, 3 horrible English dubs (and 2 partial pilot), 1 pilot US cartoon and a lost live action pilot.But you know what could it made it work back in the 80s? The fucking Toys, I mean hello? Maybe could been introduce as an alternative to Transformers?

>>152594841>Maybe could been introduce as an alternative to Transformers?Optimus Prime was on his literal death bed by the time Saint Seiya began airing in Japan.Releasing the toys without the fiction to support it hasn't really been a smart move. M.U.S.C.L.E. and Shogun Warriors weren't gateways to those properties gaining popularity in the U.S.
