First, i havent been on lately for technical reasons(had to format hard drive) but, im back and better than ever, now onto the review.

Appearance: Awesome, perfect to his kinnikuman pics, great paint job, and an almost earie touch is the texture of his skin, most ramando are smooth, he has very different skin, big brownie points on that.. 9/10

Articulation: This is a slight weak point, only his shoulder, arms, waist, and feet move, by far his worst feature.. 4/10

Accesories: 3 extra heads, a spike pit, and one extra arm. all of the interchangables are almost impossible to get on, but once applied, they will NEVER come out unless you pull very hard. 8/10

Size/scale: great, he stands heads above the rest, just as he undoubtably should.10/10

Sculpt:very cool, perfct, smooth clothing, and no rough edges, a superb example(hey mattel, you reading this?).10/10

Display value: He makes ANY collection look awsome, and he makes on heck of a shelf topper, 10/10.

Coolness of ownership: almost endless, the biggest romando(so far, the prototype sunshine looks to be MASSIVE)and cool looking at that 10/10

Cost: over 60 dollars may seem unfair to those who havent had any romando, but his size and accuracy make this an on par deal. 7/10

Overall: While it has its weaknesses, i believe this to be one of my best figures in my collection, plus its romando, always a good thing. 8/10

Yeah, I have this figure and I have to say that I found him to be very disappointing. First, he is expensive, so I expect a lot from the figure. This figure has no articulation. Very lame. Plus, he is very light since he is a totally hollow figure. It just makes him feel extremely cheap when you hold the figure.

The positives are that he is very large and does look cool. But, he is really nothing more than a display figure. For the money that he costs, I expect more. For example, Mammothman is about as expensive as Big the Budo (or KRANGALA for Taichi), but he has great articulation, much more detail, a better sculpt and is a nice heavy figure.
