Together with Megami Device Buster Doll Gunner.

This kit is Mao, from Puni Mofu — a new sub-lineup under Kotobukiya's Megami Device line. It follows a similar format to the existing Buster Doll series, but this time the base body is the Machineca Block 2-S, which is slightly smaller than the Block 2-M. The internal parts structure of the base body is the same as the Block 2-M — it's essentially just a slightly scaled-down version overall.

Going from M (Medium) to S (Small) for the base body size, the result is a smaller, cuter, more child-like character. Between the pink cat concept and the adorable expressions, it really feels like they went all-in on pushing cuteness to the absolute limit. Aside from the smaller base body size, the kit's format and overall composition are nearly identical to the Buster Doll series — the separately included base body and exterior manuals, the accessory parts lineup, and the existence of a costume mode are all exactly the same. The one difference is that the intermediate Light Armor mode from the Buster Doll is absent here; you only get three stages: base body, costume, and armed mode.

The overall build quality matches the Buster Doll series as well, with excellent articulation and solid joint strength. The molded colors look great, and the snap-fit is tight enough that no parts have any issues staying in place. The included weapon is a stamp hammer, and you also get a simple-style headband, 3 types of standard hands, and 2 types of cat paw hands. The same latest-generation stand from the Buster Doll series is included, making it easy to pull off all kinds of poses.

So this is essentially a downsized new series built on the proven quality of the Buster Doll line — and the build quality is already at its peak, making this a girl-pla kit with nothing to complain about. Plenty of people will probably be drawn in by the color scheme and the cuteness, and if the style appeals to you, this seems like a kit worth picking up without hesitation. :-)
