Max Factory Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor: Guyver 1 Figma Action Figure

Product Information

This ultimate rendition of Guyver I was created with sculpting, paintwork and articulation all under the review and approval of original creator Yoshiki Takaya. Bio Fighter Collection: (Fully posable figures with changeable parts. Precursors to the creation of the entire Figma toy line) From the manga series "Bio Booster Armor Guyver" comes a new figma of Guyver I for figma's 15th anniversary, entirely reviewed and approved by Yoshiki Takaya himself.

The only reason I can see why the 2.0 figma Guyver 1 is coming, is for the 40th anniversary in 2025... Which if my prediction is correct, will come out mid/late 2024 just in time for the anniversary. It's also Figma #600, so it's also a milestone for Max Factory as well.

Paintwork

So, the Archanphel and Exceed figures you've seen pictures of, are from the original Bio Fighter Collection from around 2005-2010. They were proto-types shown of figures to come. It is unknown if the non posable Archanphel was going to be a separate release under the non posable Bio Fighter Wars line, or just a painted proto-type for the BFC figure that is shown unpainted. Unfortunately the line stopped at Imakarum K-Soul is company that still exists releasing unofficial Guyver stuff. They have done at least a statue of Guyver 3, some chibi figures, and smaller busts of a lot of the Guyvers. They just released the bust of Guyver Gigantic I believe. Here is a basic list of the officially released Guyver action figures, or figures that are supposed to be coming out, not including live action movie stuff, since they are clearly differently designed. I might miss something, but this is most of it. There was also 2 sets of smaller "trading figures" released during the 2005 Tv shows airing alongside the BFC figures.

Then there was Sanken, who managed to release 1/6th scale figures of the 2 Gigantic's, and teased 1/6th scale Guyver 1 and Murakami releases... but shut down soon after. In addition to an assortment of hand parts, the High Frequency Wave-Vibration Sword, Unit G and a Sho Fukamachi face part based on the cover of the 5th volume of the manga are included. You might think the simpsons aint good no more but obviously People still like it and Matt Groening's wallet will just keep getting fatter. Sculpting SupervisorYoshihito Kobayashi With meticulous guidance from Yoshiki Takaya, I fully committed to creating each detail, utilizing sculpting tools from digital to analog methods. This allowed us to capture Guyver I in three-dimensional form just as the creator envisioned, an unprecedented feat.

MAX FACTORY

CreatorYoshiki Takaya I can't believe that even now a product like this is coming out! Now that I think about it, 30 years ago I chopped up a 1/6 scale vinyl kit, attached it to an existing body and made my own articulated figure. It's like a dream from a distant day... Or, is it really that distant? In any case, this figure is incredible. Create every pose just as you imagine it!
