Interestingly, I wasn't aware that they were releasing the Kaite Madigan custom version (with the white cross-stripes). I know they are releasing an Astray Out Frame D repaint of the Testament as well, but I'm not as interested in that as I would be an Out Frame (not-D).
Though I'm not enjoying Robot Damashiis as much as I originally thought I was; after my first batch, I'm only buying the ones of mechs I like that I presume have no chance in making into a higher-end model- or toy-line (Master Grades, Metal Builds or GFF Metal Composite). So far that list is just the Testament and Extreme Gundams.

Didn't know about the Astray Out Frame D, looks pretty cool.
My assumption on the Kaite Madigan custom is based on
this and that the blade things seems to be designed to be removable. Seems like a prime candidate for a Tamashii Web. Or the link is a prototype or idea they abandoned. Like S.H.Figuarts Kabuto Masked Form. Who knows, maybe that will finally come out after the Kabuto renewal version.
Anyways, of course going from Master Grades, Metal Builds or GFF Metal Composite, to Robot Damashii is going to feel like a downgrade
. But seriously, like with anything, some are going to be better than others.
I thnk the Testament is pretty fine, the engineering borrows from the RD Strike, which I thought was okay.
Off the top of my head the RX-78-2, Nu Gundam, Wing Zero Custom, Sinanju, Unicorn (or Banshee) Full Action Version, and Banshee Norn are some of the best RD that I've had experience with. I don't build gunpla anymore so I got a few of these...
You can find a RD Sinanju on Mandarake for like 2000 yen.
