I really wouldn't get too carried away by all this... after all, their romanized spellings make it fairly hard to tell what it's supposed to be a reference to.

After all, how many people without full Japanese understanding are going to realize that Reige is a misspelling of Liger? After all, going by the correct pronunciation of the name Vuldigus/Bardigus had in Car Robots, his name was a mispronincuation of "Bruticus" when sounded out. Sadly, the origin of the name can almost mean nothing when the official spelling is way off. They are basically tring to give English-sounding names to these toys, especially in the English spellings, so translations may not always be perfect. And some of the names are kind of.... odd, to say the least.

I only brought up "Air Blade" as, despite spelling, it makes more sense than "Earl Blade". To me, anyway.

Unfortunately, I'm not even buying any of the repaints. As it stands, these toys will cost me $25 US apiece. For a new mold I can justify it. Unfortunately, for a repaint of a toy I can probably still get cheap, it's a bit much.

>WTF?! (O_o)
