If you're good with a Sharpie that's not too much of a problem, I was able to put a nice blue tint on mine.

I was lucky enough to score a nearly perfect Bandai Ingram battery-operated toy a few weeks ago. I like it, though I'm still wondering whether to apply the decals - it looks a little plain without them. Also, compared to modern toys, its about as poseable as a brick, but it has a certain presence about it...

and man, those LEDs are TOO COOL.
i'm also a big fan of the manga. i think its VIZ comics that sell the little graphic novels. they only put out like 2 books that i've seen. i want more!
