Kotobukiya Reissues BUSTER DOLL Tank And Paladin For May 2027
Two kits from the line's bishoujo x mechanic range are coming back into circulation at the same price point, giving buyers who missed the earlier run another window without a change to the base body or the included parts.

Kotobukiya is re-releasing BUSTER DOLL Tank and BUSTER DOLL Paladin from the Megami Device line, both set for May 2027 at 7,480 yen each with tax included. Both kits use the Machineca Block2-M base body designed by Masaki Apsy, stand about 172mm and 176mm tall, and swap between armed mode and base body mode. Kotobukiya Shop orders add special color hair parts and unpainted face parts.
Tank and Paladin are the two BUSTER DOLL kits Kotobukiya has slated for May 2027, each at 7,480 yen with tax included. Both build on the Machineca Block2-M base body created by Masaki Apsy, the frame that lets a builder strip the armor off and leave a plain body standing.
The parts list is identical in shape between them: three pre-painted face parts plus one blank face, armor that layers like stacked plates, and chest and waist sections that assemble as a bare base body. Tank carries costume parts styled after a sailor uniform; Paladin carries blazer-inspired costume parts. Tank measures roughly 172mm, Paladin roughly 176mm, both at 1/1 scale. Kotobukiya Shop orders include special color hair parts and face parts without tampo printing.
