Damn, that looks much more awesome than the Unicorn.

FA Unicorn beats it out a bit, though it wouldn't be as back-heavy.

It seems that the MG Age-1 will also use the part-swapping fingers.

Meh, was never a fan of non-1/144 scales for some reason.

First used in the MG Wing series, where instead of fully movable fingers you need to parts swap them. It's more solid and stable than the traditional fingers, and looks better too, though some might lament the loss of poseability.

Ah, forgot about that one.

In any case, being used to the HG 1/144 series, and seeing how flimsy the poseable fingers can sometimes be, I rather prefer the parts-swapping system.

I've never heard it getting called that, I just refer to it as extra hands.

The paint app on the Robot Damashii figures kind of suck in a lot of places. It's not clean.

Well, it's not Robot Damashii is a small company. They're a big company so I'm sure they can afford to buy the equipment needed to properly paint their figures...or at least not as noticeably bad.

this happens with all figures, its not just robot damashii. whether you do it by hand or with a machine, the paint simply cant be applied the same all the time when you make a few thousand of these at a time!
and besides, compared to other figures that i have seen the RD figures are REALLY good! i mean, look at this replica of the normandy II for example:
http://bluekae.com/wp-content/upload...1/IMAG0010.jpg
the paintjob simply SUCKS! XD compared to that the RDs and metal builds look amazing!

I know the color scheme is a bit different for Buster and Verde Buster... nevertheless I'd be more than happy to have a MG with the option of building it as standard SEED Buster or its upgraded Stargazer version.

Second that. a MG Verde Buster would be a wet dream, not to mention it's not that many extra parts, perhaps a special version or something? like the R1 parts that came with the MG Exia

No shiny black knee stickers? That was the selling point.

Nice butt-thrusters, but the sheild is a bit too small to work with that kinda placement.

So many possibilities.
