Together with the Megami Device Buster Doll Knight Darkness Claw, which shares the same color concept.

This kit is the Buster Doll Paladin Darkness Claw, the third release in Kotobukiya's Buster Doll series. Just like the previous Darkness Claw concept, Buster Doll Paladinit's a configuration with changed molded colors — no new sculpts, just a straight color variant kit.

So for this review, all you really need to do is take a good look at the changed molded colors. True to the Buster Doll series, it delivers solid quality all around — great articulation, firm joint strength, and an impressive arsenal. The color scheme is the same as the Buster Doll Knight that previously came out in the Darkness Claw version, and compared to the original, it's characterized by a heavier, deeper tone. If you're into that dark color palette and style, this looks like a quality girl-pla well worth going for. :-)
