Plastic SF/Anime Character Assembly Kit The fourth installment in the “Beautiful Girls × Mechanics” series, “Megami Devices,” featuring a new base body series! The fourth Megami figure, featuring the all-new “Machinica Block2-M” base body that has finally been unveiled, is the BUSTER DOLL Paladin!! Designed by Maki Asai, the “Machinica Block 2-M” is a completely new base body with a significantly overhauled structure. Each part’s structure was reexamined from scratch, and the design was developed to maximize ease of assembly and expandability through part swapping. Of course, the proportions have also been updated to create even more beautiful lines, resulting in a finish that will offer a fresh sense of wonder to everyone who has purchased Megami Devices in the past. The BUSTER DOLL Paladin, designed specifically for this new base body, features concept art by Megami Device producer Tori Toriyama and mechanical design by Tasuku himself, the lead designer. As a result, it’s engineered to allow for more systematic assembly and greater customization enjoyment compared to previous Megami Device kits. Character design is by Parsley, whose stunning illustrations continue to captivate fans, adding a touch of elegance to the new series. We hope you’ll have the chance to get your hands on the BUSTER DOLL Paladin, a figure in which every part embodies freshness and future potential.
