Okay- I did some sifting through my toys today, and I founda figure that I'd been meaning to find- my Romandoh Akumashogun! He's in good condition, although a *tiny* bit scuffed, but that's because my room gets reorganized when I'm away. ANYWAY, this is the original, metallic silver paint job- and this guy is one of my favorite figures of all time.
Sculpt- Absolutely nothing like Akumashogun is in the anime OR the manga, but incredibly cool. You have to get over its extreme stylization- but his sculpt just reeks of POWER. For one thing, this figure weight over 1 lb. He's also smooth where he should be, and not where he should not be. Take note that the figure is also entirely plastic, and the joints move smoothly.
Paint Job- Flawless. Simple, but flawless. The chrome really helps the figure;s texture, too.
Articulation- Akumashogun is highly poseable, but not super-poseable. Basically, he's a giant in a suit of armor.
Accessories- Just the golden mask. He should have had his claw-blades, IMO.
Overall: 5 out of 5. The minor flaws do not detract from this figure, which is worth $50 or so.
I don't really have a good pic of him- perhaps someone is willing to supply one?

THis is one of my favorite Romando figures. One of the coolest things about him is that he is so heavy! He has to be the heaviest action figure I own. Plus, he just looks like a bad arse.

I recently got 2 of the Red Akuma Shogun Romando's and i definately agree that he is MAD heavy, definately one of the cooler figures in my collection.
