    Might consider to include Arashii for my collection as a brother/twin to complement Susanoo on the shelf.. Looks like that they still haven't finished off painting the straps on the sandals (time to see if there are matching paint to complete the look).

    Edit: Crap! Just saw that the two outer boxes make a good scene together. :drool:

    Hey guys, if you're putting on the replacement shoulder parts, put a couple drops of shock oil on the shaft before you work the shoulder piece back on. The tolerance is super tight and I ended up snapping the left shaft off :( . Hoping they can hook me up with a replacement chest and replacement replacement shoulder.

    Man, that box art is doing more to sell this than the actual figure is!

    I’m surprised we aren’t seeing more photos and reviews of this now that it’s out. I’m strongly considering it since I skipped the Susanoo figure and like both the mode and these colors, but I’d like to see more before I take the plunge.

    Arashi looks insane I might bite on this. Waiting on some reviews first.

    Sure it's a redeco, but between the remolded parts and the bold colors, doesn't feel like doubling up.

    Also, can never have too many robot samurais

    Damn all those tighter joints and that repaint, I cant resist I will eventually have to get this one. I love that face sculpt with the wires in his mouth.

    Just to follow up. Want you guys to know that DNA hooked me up with a replacement part, no charge, that showed up today.

    That's A1 customer service by my book. If you're worried about these guys standing behind their products, don't be. Rock solid. They've earned my customer loyalty.

    Nice! What email did you use to reach them? Want to see if they will sell the upgrade.

    Merphul posted that he contacted DNA Designs Facebook page about the problem. As for the upgrade shoulder kit, DNA Designs has no plans to sell off the upgrade kit separately (and has posted a reply on their FB page).
