Yeah I just assumed we would get standalone sticks with maybe some pegs for the hands to hold better (Hibiki's Henshin Onsa is this way), but when I think about how the sticks have that little finger loop, it makes sense why they aren't separate.

I debated doing a "dirtier" more matte silver because in my head thats what I remember it as, but its actually pretty shiny in a lot of official depictions. And ultimately if I decide I want it changed, I can add weathering on top of this paint application.

I think the kit still looks good straight out of the box. The special coating treatment is a show-stealer in person.
