All Activity

They missed last month... But Papsikels is back this month with everyone's favorite mystery boi... Apollyon!

Part XI is now up! Careful...this one's gonna be a little brutal.

It can be assumed the tendrils at least are stored in the host body - most iteration of the bonding process describes it as being a painful experience as the tendrils pierce and invade the host body in order to boost it to its ultimate potential. The receivers are a physical manifestation of a bio-boosted human and at least grants low level telepathy/communication between guyvers. It's mainly the armor itself along with the control medal and powered orbs that would be stored in hyperspace awaiting its next activation. However, I don't recall it being shown (except movies) upon activation the tendrils coming out from the receivers - I think this is just artistic freedom of the directors. I'd imagine the tendrils would come out instantly to wrap around host and attached to the armor in a fashion similar to a klyntar symbiote on its host.

I'm celebrating two years of my Countach collection and here's the video. Now it's 361 cars and around 100 other items

when they made the miniatures for the transformation sequence, they needed some way to hold the armour pieces in mid air, it would have been very difficult without some structure, so I guess they used those tendrils and it developed from there.

So in the two live action films, it's shown that the Guyver armor is stored in the body. You see the tendrils come through the receivers on Sean's neck several times. I've always noticed this, but wondered why. Does anyone know, or at least suspect why? Was it simply an artistic liberty, or perhaps done for budgetary reasons? Since I'm sure trying the flashy transformation sequence from the anime would be too costly.

This is giving me Batman Dead End vibes in terms of how great this could be.

Just found this off of their FB page, looks like we'll have to wait a bit...

Yeah, unfortunately Figma's being delayed is almost a 50-50 chance. This likely being a special edition as well ( since 2025 is the 40th anniversary) the chances are probably higher... I'll be buying 2, like I did with Guyver 1... Unless they announce a certain red colored EX figure to be released at the same time... I would just get one of each then, as that is getting too high in cost by that point for me.

Hopefully. Guyver I Ultimate went on sale March 2023, for a release in December 2023, but got delayed to February. I can see Guyver Gigantic following that same path. I'm gonna buy 3.

I think we'll see more in the Jan/feb Winter Wonderfest, with probably a late 2025 for a release date... This is all going by how long it took the new Guyver 1 figma to go from uncolored prototype to release.

Looks that way from what I've read...

Well, now I'm glad that I have a subscription for Amazon Prime. Is it true that this iteration won't be "Peter Parker" but a completely different character?

Figma Guyver Gigantic is a literal dream come true. I'm expecting 200 USD for the price. But it'll be worth it, hopefully it won't be too long till release.

So my Figma Guyvers are pretty lonely. Which toys out there do you think stand well with Guyvers? Ya know like, toys of monsters from various IPs that can kinda sorta replace Zoanoids (because Lord knows they're never getting toys). I was shopping over at bigbadtoystore.com and remembered some monster toys I have seen for a whole. Those being: Kikimura from The Witcher Tyranid from Warhammer 40k Kryptonite Doomsday from DC comics. All made by McFarlane Toys, with articulation. They seem like worth stand-ins. Kikimura is probably the most odd one in the group, since it's very animalistic, and not humanoid like legit Zoanoids.

I'd heard about it before, but never thought they were serious about it. Well, I'm down for it.

Apparently there's gonna be a live action series on Amazon Prime, and Nicolas Cage is reprising the role from the Spider-Verse movies.

HEADS UP, the movie is hitting YouTube on October 31st!

I'm pushing it off until 2027 / 2028. Like you said, it's a lot of money getting to Japan. I still want to get there as they tend to have some cool Guyver stuff and I get to visit family in Japan. But getting the budget together comes first, no point in going there and not having the cash to buy goodies!

More Guyver stuff is good but, I think I'll be passing on these, like you said Matt these are a bit lazy.

The Guyver parts do look neat, as they are robotic in nature, not just straight design copied over... But about 80% if the figure is just their standard "Gale Hound" base figure (Head, chest and parts to add arm blades). It's a pretty lazy collaberation... One I probably won't be taking part in. It's more like a "character" in the Titanomakia universe of story are fans of Guyver and customized their suits that way.

I am gonna watch the hell out of this when it comes out.
