Quotes
Sheldon's Introduction
"The CoroCoro Splat Roller is decorated with a cool logo I found inscribed on some ancient writings. It has a new hollow titanium frame, ball-bearing joints, steering dampers, super-stabilizers...
So many new parts, in fact, that it kind of...came full circle. The specs ended up identical to the Splat Roller.
But this is the first roller set with a Splash Wall! And I also threw in an Inkzooka because why not?!

Sheldon's Introduction
"The CoroCoro Splat Roller is decorated with a cool logo I found inscribed on some ancient writings. It has a new hollow titanium frame, ball bearing joints, steering dampers, super-stabilisers...
So many new parts, in fact, that it kind of... came full circle. The specs ended up identical to the Splat Roller.
To make up for that, this is the first Roller with a Splash Wall! I've also added an Inkzooka. This set would suit an ambitious Roller innovator!
