oh my god that would be absolutely terrifying!!! I just never realised how dangerous Kang must be. I see him as a human, just a human, but then I guess he has all technology going on, so it makes sense. I'm going to look forward to what we get in this upcoming movie. I'll be there on release day as usual.

Imagine if they gave us this scene following that line...

That is rather visceral dialogue. In terms of Marvel movies, that is possibly the most scary line I can think of.

You're an Avenger...have I killed you before?

Gearing up for Quantumania...

Been looking high and low with no luck. 😊 thanks

could be his strong connection with Cassie? I think that's the only think unique to him.

So what does Kang want with Antman?

the first trailer inspired me more. This new trailer makes me feel a little underwhelmed. Still going to watch it of course.

I was surprised that the first episode dropped yesterday. I've been looking forward to this since I've heard about it last year. I've seen the first episode and so far I liked how they adapted it. Very game accurate down to the frame per frame scenes. I guess this means that the original game is already perfect that they don't need to add additional things. I'm very excited to watch the whole series and go along the emotional roller coaster again. My only complaint is that the CGI looks terrible. But aside from that, the animation is excellent.

Good post! Reminds me a bit of the merchandise page we had on the old Japan Legend wiki. It didn't get completed before the wiki went down but it was pretty good for the main bits of merch you could get and has the above figures listed: https://web.archive.org/web/20101205073132/http://japan-legend.com/wiki/index.php?title=Guyver:_Merchandise

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 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. Manga Release: 1/6 Scale non posable Guyver 1 that came with vol 21 of the manga. Bio Fighter Collection: (Fully posable figures with changeable parts. Precursors to the creation of the entire Figma toy line) Guyver 1, Guyver 2, Guyver 3, Aptom ver 4, Murakami, Guyver Gigantic, Gigantic Dark, Zx'tole, Neo Zx'tole, Guyot, Purg'stall, Imakarum Bio Fighter Wars: (non posable but generally in the BFC scale) Vamore, Panadyne, Gergoile, Zerebubuth, Zancrebe, Ramotith, Enzyme 2, Test type(Malmot), Gaster, Darzerb, Thancrus, Elegan, Evil Aptom, Barcas w/ bio tube (was a limited special release) Figma: Guyver 1, Guyver 2 Female, Guyver 2 Female (OAV ver), Guyver 3, Guyver 1 2.0 (coming soon) Prime 1 Studios: Guyver 1, Guyver 1 bust, Guyver 3, Guyver 3 bust, Guyver 0, Aptom Omega Blast, Guyver Gigantic, Gigantic Dark, Female Guyver 2 (only teased so far) Max Factory Anniversary Figures: (not released yet, only proto-types shown) Guyver 1, Guyver 3 There was also 2 sets of smaller "trading figures" released during the 2005 Tv shows airing alongside the BFC figures. There have been various 3rd party/bootleg figures out there as well as people 3-d printing their own stuff now too. 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. 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. But finally, all the old Max Factory 1/12 and 1/6 scale Garage Kits from the late 80's and 90's. They are still around, but have had knock off recasts sold by numerous companies. Yes, there it seems like there is a lot of Guyver stuff out there... But most of it is over 15 years old, some of it over 30 years!

I was wondering is their more Guyver figures besides Guyver 1,2,2F,3 Imakarum, Guyot,Purgstall & Dr. Barcas? If so no one has posted them I looked…hard. I found a guy bidding a Dr.Barcas with Aptom in a test tank. ($2299.99!) I saw prime1 studios showcase their Guyver statutes they had Guyvers 0,1,3, gigantic, dark gigantic two versions of Archanfel & a Guyver Exceed.

Just got Aptom ver IV.... And Updated the shelves... for now. So, as for the full collection itself... Added Zxtole, Guyver Gigantic, Gigantic Dark, Proto-Zoalord Murakami and now Aptom Ver IV since the last picture from August. I will be breaking these guys up eventually when I get more shelves. It's a bit cramped in there right now. I will always love how the BFC Gigantic Guyvers are basically in scale with the Figma Guyvers. Like it is almost done on purpose. At this point, if I do not get any other Bio Fighter Collection figures, I would be fine with that. I still new Neo-Zxtole, Guyot, Purgstall and Imakarum... But they are either too expensive or not a character I care too much about to spend the prices they are at anyway. IF I can find good deals on them, I'll still pick them up, but I am not hunting for them. I got the "good" guys, and that is good enough for me right now.

Just added 3 more Bio Fighter Collection figures! And the best ones! Unfortunately Murakami is as he is shown... No box and no extra hands... But I can live with that. I got him cheap alongside the other 2. SPEAKING about the other 2... FINALLY got my hands on the BFC Gigantic figures. Sure, it's cool that I have the large Sanken figures... But the BFC figures have been grail level items for so long... And now I have them both. I also have the BFC Aptom ver IV on the way, but I ordered him not that long ago, so he is still in transit. But once I get him, I will only need Guyot, Purgstall and Imakarum... And I don't really care much for them... So it's good then that the prices they usually demand are so high that I would never spend it on them at all. Though Guyot can sometimes be found pretty low. but I'd consider all of them if their prices ever came down to reasonable numbers. *edit* Forgot about Neo Zxtole...

This hit harder than I would think it would. When the Power Rangers first aired, I was in third grade. It was perfectly centered around someone my age. That and my Dad together watched the 'new' Godzilla films that were coming out at the same time. I say that only because I knew somehow there was something Japanese influence about it. So I was in class talking to my own classmates about this new evil Green Ranger. How he stacked to the others. How the Rangers would win etc. Then become happy that he eventually became good. Then how he lost his powers but the Red Ranger had some of it. More discussion about that. Then he became the Green Ranger again but now he has a limited amount of time and power before the Green Ranger ended. Then it happen and that was the end of that. Then we got the White Ranger which if I remember is completely original. But his big reveal was a big deal to my kid mind. I eventually grew out of Power Rangers mainly due to the original actors going away and concepts of what the Power Rangers were, were not interesting. As an adult though. Seeing what the family courts can do men during divorces though. It is brutal.

One of my issues is Gamora. This one doesn't have the history as the one we saw in first two movies. Are we going to see what basically amounts to a rehas of the first two movies?

I am fairly certain if two zoalords reproduced they would do it the old fashioned human style. As in one baby per couple, but with the off chance of having twins or triplets and the even rare quadruplets. Afterall zoanoids and zoalords at their base is human. Assuming they can reproduce of course.

I have strongly suspected that Yoshiki Takaya will come back. That this period of inactivity is for his own health but also to figure how to truly end the series. This is just me, but to create such a series like the Guyver over so many years, decades and just walk away from it doesn't work. He will finish it because artists dont like unfinished products. It will eat at them until they do.

It's funny... If they are after Miles because he doesn't "belong"... the Sony Video game Spider-man IS there... Who also knows a Miles who is also Spider-man... So it's not just being him that they are against... I guess I will just have to wait and see more. Can't wait.

No. All is not lost. So long as there're fans who remain passionate Guyver will always have a fighting chance. Granted Guyver is not the most accessible series at the moment, so garnering new fans will prove to be a challenge. However, all that means is that we'll have to promote it the old fashioned way via word of mouth. For instance it's not that hard to work Guyver into a casual conversation, especially regarding anime. If you notice someone you know is casually into anime bring up Guyver. If you're going to an anime convention to meet people bring up Guyver. You can even take it a step further by wearing Guyver themed merch to potentially catch someone's attention. Guyver is only lost if our passion wanes, and we simply forget about it. For me that'll never happen because a Guyver never dies.
