I have a Generations Drift. Ive hade him for a while, and I love the toy to death. Seriously, he's amazing.

But I have 2 questions.

1. What does it say on his sword? My friend said he "Heard" that it said, and I quote: "Wailing is cool" I have no idea if thats true or not. So can somebody who can read japanese help me out?

2. Were can I find a sturdy replacement sword for him? I know one comes with the limited version of the Battle Tankor upgrade, but I cant justify paying that kind of price for just the sword. I need a sturdy replacement that's fairly accurate and made of plastic, not bendy rubber.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me!

Your friend knows zilch about Japanese. The sword says "天下無双" (tenka muso) which means "Peerless under heaven" or "Armed under heaven", while the "侍" on his doors means "Samurai"

In case you're curious, SG Drift has "定" on the hood which means "decided" as in "your fate is sealed". It's a bit of a stretch, admittedly.

If you miss it, keep an eye out. Seems they get relisted...

Check out Shapeways, there's a couple different designs available. Do yourself a favor though, and spring for WSF Polished, or better yet, frosted ultra detail material. The basic WSF is nasty....

I don't know Japanese, but if you treat them as chinese characters (Chinese and Japanese bear alot of similarity in characters, although Chinese came 1st)

It translates to Unparalleled in the world.

If you take it word for word,
天下無双

天 - Sky
下 - Below
無 - Does not
双 - Pair

:lol:
