I don't generally dig animal Transformers, but this guy spoke to me, so I picked one up on sale. I thought the mane, swords and tail were a little plain, so I kicked them up a notch, plus added a few more paint details to the figure. I know the sakura flowers are a bit of a choice, but I figured it's a robot/ninja/lion that yells at you in Japanese, so all bets are off.
