Yeah it's just a business thing. Guyver has been part of their long list of IP for decades. They're not gonna just let it go. Even if they're doing nothing with it, it's still some worth to keep it. Because otherwise, someone else could gain the IP and do something with it, that would be worse.

This is more likely a business decision on the part of Kadokawa rather than the author. Since there are figures being released for the Guyver, this copyright protects them from third parties developing unauthorized (pirated) versions of any merchandise they produce. Because if there is no copyright on the IP, you can be assured that a lot of 3rd party will profit from it. At least this way, even if 3rd parties develop any form of merchandise related to the IP, Kadokawa still profits from its licensing.

Completely forgot to check! Next up is Waferdanos!

Personally I hope it's a sign that the manga might make a comeback...

Could be a legacy thing or a contract they have with Takaya. The website does show them doing this a lot, so they might also just not want to let anything go, no matter how successful or dead the series is. The paranoid part of you might also be correct... Something that is also interesting about Japanese Trademark Law, is that if nothing is done with a license after 3 years of inactivity, someone else can appeal and see about getting the Trademark revoked. And now we are getting new Figma figures... That is taking more than a year, if not more than 2 years for each figure... We randomly get an artbook with zero new artwork... They might just be doing them for that reason... But at least when they do release them, they are of high quality and sell well.

Its strange to me they would do this. It's not like Guyver is a big cash cow. Paranoid part of me is wondering if they keeping it tied up so others can't grab it...

"Please, Father, heed my words..."

As of December 15th, 2025, Kadokawa has renewed the Trademark rights for Guyver. This is something that has to be done every 10 years in Japan... Which the last time they did it, the Manga was actually still being published. https://chizai-watch.com/t/2025139888?q=kadokawa&d=20251215&a=株式会社KADOKAWA It's a bit of interesting news that doesn't actually tell us anything about what is going on with the Manga... Only that Kadokawa is still invested in owning the franchise and controlling what various products can use it.

The countdown begins...

We used to have scans of the Chuang Yi covers on the old wiki's merchandise page (still visible on the wayback machine) but the higher res versions didn't get saved, so I've scanned in my dust jackets for anyone that might like to get a better look at them. I also scanned in a few data files so people can get a flavour for what they looked like in the CY release: https://mega.nz/fm/PYYSiZxK enjoy!

Round One -- FIGHT!

It's magnificent!

You usually don't have to pay when you pre-order, and only pay when it is ready to ship. I think there is exceptions for some payment apps that you might have to pay at pre-order, but I didn't have to when I ordered my Guyver 1's.

I just ordered mine from Amiami! I only need one for my collection, but a buck forty is amazing!

I'm thinking if going through Goodsmile, but you don't have to pay at check out right?

Right!?! I may only be getting one of these, which fortunately is enough because I use Amiami and they are only allowing 1 per customer.

140 bucks is goddamn miracle! Sigh me up for 3!!

The Figma Guyver Gigantic is now up for preorder! The pre-order closes on February 11th, 2026! The Price is: 21,800 Yen - Approximately $140 US! Release Date is: October 2026 Remember, pre-ordering is going to the the CHEAPEST this figure will EVER be. I cannot state this enough. These figures skyrocket in price after they are released. There currently does not seem to be any exclusive item from Goodsmile, so ordering from them isn't a priority for those who want the most.

Doom's day is coming...

I am just happy they listened to my nit-picky suggestion... And make sure the Cronos troopers have chin straps for their helmets. But they did it! 😁

Cats Alive, they pulled it off! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/roditeli/swat-kats-comic-book/posts/4554778

I've got JBL Boombox 4🤩 The sound is incredible, especially low freqs. Now the masterplan is to figure out how to wear it like a backpack while riding a bike
