The kit uses Masaki Apsy's Machineca Block2-M base body, with concept design by Toriwo Toriyama, mechanical design by Tasuku, and character design by Parsley. Reference price is 7,480 yen; Rakuten Books lists it at 6,327 yen. It includes armored and base body modes, three painted face parts, and 3mm joints.","whyItMatters":"A re-production order is the practical measure of demand for a kit line: Kotobukiya is going back to a BUSTER DOLL Tank release rather than only adding new bodies, and the discounted preorder price puts the entry cost below the reference figure.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe kit ships as a re-production, the same BUSTER DOLL Tank [KP684R] that runs on the Machineca Block2-M body. Buyers get the armed mode and the base body mode in one box by swapping parts, plus chest and waist parts for a plain body build and a face part without detail for custom work.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe joint layout is the selling point for anyone already in Kotobukiya\u0026#39;s other lines: 3mm holes are placed across the parts, and the head is compatible with M.S.G, Frame Arms, Frame Arms Girl, Hexa Gear, Sousai Shojo Teien, and Arcanadea. Three wrist types are molded in plastic, with the weapon-holding pair shaped for round and square grips.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Masaki Apsy's Machineca Block2-M body is the load-bearing spec here: the same base swaps between armored and base modes, so the re-release sells the frame more than the Tank silhouette.","twitterPost":"Masaki Apsy's Machineca Block2-M frame is the real draw: one body, armored and base modes, 3mm joints shared across the line.","threadsPost":"Masaki Apsy's Machineca Block2-M base body carries this re-release. The armored and base modes share one frame with 3mm joints, which makes BUSTER DOLL Tank a platform for kitbashing as much as a standalone kit.","newsletterBlurb":"Kotobukiya's BUSTER DOLL Tank plastic model is open for preorder again at Rakuten Books, listed as a re-production at 6,327 yen against a 7,480 yen reference price.
