Another case of negligible difference. If this one gets another J-exclusive repaint into a random color scheme, like some of the recent Elite-Guard ones, I'd be most interested in an orange-ish one resembling the samurai Junkion seen in the background of the movie. But that's probably just me.

Also, are his shuriken going to be removable but non-transforming, like the American release? That's one little improvement they could've made, though I doubt it happened.

They're removeable? With what crowbar did you get them off with?

Hmm...yeah, I didn't remember it being that tough to remove them when I opened him as it was just now. But my thumbnail just barely managed it after a minute. I guess I've just been doing so much amateurish kitbashing lately that anything I don't have to cut gets remembered as "removable". Isn't Samurai Prowl the same mold as the first except for the head and armor though? I can't check to see if the blades are interchangeable at the moment.

Awesome figure, but I'm happy with the one I already have.

No, the arms are new, the chest is new and the legs are new too.
