I know Shintos have a following, but these are the first that do anything for me. These are using extra masks, right?

Interesting. I never realized the right arm and leg are hairy while the other side isn't.

What is the reason behind the coloring green and white?

I think this is the reason why the Shinto looks so rad in split colorways--it is basically a split type character.

start over from the beginning of the thread and read more slowly.
Chew every bite 20 times before swallowing.
Its great for the digestion.

Do you know if there is any particular reason that Thunder and Wind are depicted as green and white, respectively?

Hmm, perhaps wiki will help...

EDIT: Nothing in particular.

Interesting info on the background of Raijin and Fujin (scroll down):

http://www.tyrfing.org/rpg/chi/flow/flowmon1.txt

And on the screen painting above:

http://www.nni.nikkei.co.jp/FR/TNKS/Nni20080728TR7RINPA.htm

I guess it is technically the 350th anniversary of Korin's birth, not the painting.

Looks like the Shinto on the left might be GID?

Looks more "milky" than GID, like the same vinyl he used on the Hone Borgs.

Thank you for the data, Datadub. Yowsers, that makes 11 total official release Shintosans since the first was released 5/5/2007. I'm looking at a pyramid of 9 right now, above my computer. Is it true what they say ... that completism is a mental disorder? :D

The green is a definite stand out! All this set needs is a background that matches.
