Japanese model manufacturer Kotobukiya has announced today that the latest product in their popular model kit series "Megami Device", which combines colorful mechanical equipment with highly articulated bishoujo bodies, the "BUSTER DOLL GUNNER MIDNIGHT FANG", created with a next-generation new body, is scheduled for release in November 2024.
The "BUSTER DOLL" series utilizes the "Machineca Block2-M" articulated body, newly developed by sculptor Masaki Apsy. Compared to previous bodies, the part structure has been completely revamped, developed with a focus on significantly improving ease of assembly and expandability for interchangeable parts, while also enhancing the aesthetic beauty of the body lines. Its features include:
- Multiple sizes and lengths of spherical neck joints compatible with various Kotobukiya product specifications
- Achieves the series' first built-in articulated frame structure, greatly enhancing part interchangeability
- Adopts integrated molding for leg exterior parts and a post-assembly design, reducing unsightly seams and improving convenience for painting and processing
- Adds 3mm peg-hole weapon connection rings on both ears, shoulders, wrists, thighs, and calves
- Adopts a layered armor system, further subdividing the series' traditional body and armed modes into four modes: body, costume, light armor, and heavy armor
- Includes numerous hardpoint expansion parts, significantly enhancing weapon expandability
- Utilizes a new dedicated stand with an articulated support arm featuring more axes of movement to stably assist the main body in various poses
- The traditional PVC soft plastic hand parts have been changed to hard plastic. The weapon-holding hands can accommodate both round and square weapon grips, allowing for easy fixation after inserting parts
The "BUSTER DOLL GUNNER MIDNIGHT FANG" released this time is an alternate color version of the series' first product, "GUNNER". Its dark color scheme enhances its stealth capabilities for night combat scenarios. Additionally, the pre-painted face parts have been updated with three new expressions, and the body's limbs have been replaced with a consistent skin tone, giving it a cute, swimsuit-like appearance.
The overall weapon accessories are essentially the same as the regular version. In addition to the pure white underwear, it also includes costume parts designed after a sailor uniform, as well as exterior armor with numerous expansion ports, a backpack, and dual gun parts for interchangeable armed modes, allowing for free combination of various parts.
