INTRODUCTION

As usual, after Bandai is done with full sized kits, they will drag along SD kits of the same unit. This is of course no exception. Since I've done the HG version's review, I'll finish Verde Buster with the SD one.


HEAD UNIT

The head is very very good. Not as cute as other SD's this guy has a very very big head. 2 brownish pieces for the head shape, stickers for the eyes and back camera, 2 little green horns and the big reddish-orange visor are all for the head. No pieces for Buster SD anyhow.


BODY UNIT

Its cute, its cool and its a Buster with armor although it isnt so visible here. The colours are quite accurate with the reddish-orange parts given to areas where they are supposed to be. Though its small, its still nice.


ARM UNIT

Standard SD arms but this guy homages the HG one a lot and I mean big lot. His arms were also designed to bend and sway sideways originally but you can turn the lower arm around for action poses. The fist is full brownish-white and the black part needs paint as usual for SDs.


LEG UNIT

Legs? There aint no legs for SDs. LOL. They do exist. 2 pieces which are 1 -sided were to give shape to the legs. Foil sticker for the part where it was supposedly reddish-orange. The feet is detailed enough with the dark green and brownish parts seperated nicely.


WEAPONS/BOOSTER/EXTRAS & FINAL VERDICT

Cream of the crop for this baby. You get everything as in the HG but simpler and less detailed. The 2 Buster cannons on the shoulders are completely grey and the green bits are missing. As for the 2 Blades/Blasters thingy at the waist, a foil sticker is given to each to decorate the most notable reddish-orange part. The bets of part of it is, the blade do folds like the HG one does. This is a very good kit at a very good price. And I would say that the newer SDs from BB line, particularly from the Stargazer series have good details even for a non-painter like me to admire for such a small kit.
