Kotobukiya Megami Device

Knight Alice Motocompo

Kit Review

Straight build + Stickers

This kit is the Buster Doll Knight Alice with Honda AB12 Motocompo, released as part of Kotobukiya's Megami Device series. Just like the name says, Buster Doll Knight it's a collaboration kit combining the Alice character based on that kit with a motorcycle plastic model — specifically, Aoshima's Honda AB12 Motocompo kit is bundled in.

Alice is based on the existing Buster Doll Knight costume mode's hairstyle and upper body, with the color combination on the arms and legs changed. You can't do the armed mode, but you can swap all the way to body mode. The main figure shows excellent articulation and joint strength as you'd expect from the latest Machineca platform, and the existing shared accessories are included too — though there's only one face part, so swapping faces isn't an option.

The Honda AB12 Motocompo is an Aoshima plastic model first released in 1981, and its color and style do pair nicely with Alice — but since it's a mold that's 45 years old, the build experience is pretty rough. For starters, every single part has to be glued, and the fit isn't great either, so the assembly itself has a real learning curve. You really have to go into it thinking you're building one of the oldest old-school kits out there. That said, the sculpt once it's all together is actually quite decent even by today's standards, and true to its concept as a folding bike, you can also recreate the storage mode by detaching the handlebars and mirrors and tucking them inside.

It's definitely an experimental combination, but it's a kit that delivers a pretty solid visual pairing. If you've never built a vintage kit from 40+ years ago, the Motocompo assembly process will probably catch you off guard. I'd especially recommend bracing yourself for the instructions, which are... not exactly friendly (...). Still, if you're into this color scheme and style combo, it does seem like a pretty charming kit worth giving a shot. :-)
