summer sleeves for my blood red Samurai Army

[cheng]

do you have him Hadoque?
I like to see if his rolled-up sleeves match our PM orangy brown torsos

[Hadoque]

No, not yet. I won't be buying the Hotel Theme's van just to get this guy  , so I've put him on my DS-list.
Will take some time to get him though as I've too much else to do momentarily, so all DS-orders have to wait...

I looked at the klicky yesterday at the back of the box in a store, and the torso/arm-colour seems a kind of red, but not as red as usual, it looks like somewhere between orange and red   

And it is not 100% certain yet he actually comes with these rolled-up sleeves as shown;
Someone on Klickywelt bought the set and the klicky came with the standard short sleeves 
Maybe it was a single production-mistake, but other possibilities are that the pictures (catalogue and box) are wrong, or that between the prototype and production phase they decided to delete the rollep-up sleeves and go to standard short sleeves to save a bit on plastic...
To Gaston (Tonguello) happened the same thing with a Suprise Figure; it came with short sleeves instead of rolled-up ones...

I guess this is why there are so few Samurai customizers, because they are all too intimidated by your very impressive Samurai Cheng!
Can you pleeeease tell me how to make that drum?

And where are you getting these rolled up sleeves?

thanks for your interesting comments Hadoque!
a lot of 'maybe's from me too;
some new colours (maybe the hotel doorman's pink is necessary and maybe these new colours will attract more girls/moms to buy BUT this orange/red torso/sleeve shade may not make any difference to boys(maybe their moms)
maybe more unique & unmatchable colours is Geobra's way of reducing customising? 
but surely will increase production/stocking cost(listing them, change colours of raw materials etc)

but its definitely painful to even receive occassional mistakes from what's shown on boxes

youve been away from PF for a while, while I've been going overboard making these rolled-up sleeves (being fed-up with those newer button&strap sleeves) in several threads using those animal bandages
