Trivia

• The boomerang is actually a hunting tool for live game - its a good thing the ARMS variant has bumpers on the pointy bits.
• Despite being manufactured by the brand Snex, this ARMS displays the Achom logo on the trailing wing and leading wing. This is the same brand Spring Man's shorts and Master Mummy's outfit dons.
