Ugh, I guess you CAN have too much chrome. How did Buster pull it off so well?

Great paint job. Are those articulated hands?Or some kind of clip ons? The one thing that would push him over the edge would be if the head had a swith that would open or close the faceplate like the visors on the human alliance figures(speaking of those, HA Sideways with Alice is long overdue).

He looks really good IMO, hope he won't be too expensive (yeah right!).

As tired as I am of movie figs, I gotta admit, that looks really effin' good.
The only thing I don't understand...it looks like hands (the standard, non-articulated ones) and possibly the stacks and shoulder flaps (might just be the way the light is hitting them, though) look to be different colors than the metallic silver the rest of it is. Would be nice if it was all that nice, shiny silver. Luckily, I suspect this will be well over $100 putting it out of my willing to buy price range, but I would actually be pretty tempted at around $100 or less.

He is one beautiful figure. I like the added hands too.

So the major differences from the previous one, if any?

He's going to look fantastic sitting next to Buster and my DMK-01.

Damn, I didn't know he had articulated fingers! Would have pre-ordered him had I known!
Looks gorgeous in all that silver.

He doesn't. Those are aftermarket hands.

Feel much better about not buying him now. As cool as the silver paint apps are, I've already got Buster Prime.

It's beautiful. I just hope they're around long enough until I have some money spare. I really wish it actually came with those articulated hands.

Not certain if these are them sure, but you can get some made on shapeways. Have to assemble and paint yourself though.

The hands are by UFO, and are on BBTS.
Do not buy the shapeways one's they are crap! and take too much time to make right and are extremely loose!.
The UFO ones are tight, and color matched!
