hi, pretty sure your missing combat crew and mizuki, something else aswell but just can't think of it at this moment.

also, with the maxfactory prepainted kits i think your missing aptom5 and zxtole-glow in the dark version

might be able to help and take some photos if you can't find any on the net. just let me know.

the mizuki and combatant were part of the Max Factory bfc-13 which i havent put up yet.I have not put too many of the pre painted kits yet im still in the process of collecting them they will be uploaded soon so any help will be grateful thanks for your reply.

[*guyverfan]

yeah your right about the guyver zoanoid

,the box i have below is the maxfactory i have is yours different?

[*guyverfan]

i know the original maxfactory version you have there, i just did a quick search and was lucky enough to find the elfin version, definately saved me some days from searching through my storage boxs for it which i know you were going to make me do.

[*Jess♥]

quick question.

were the elfin kits original work or were they a line of recast kits?

I should probably know this.

[*guyverfan]

hay, you mentioned that you have most of whats listed in the max factory prepainted model kit range?

if you ever think of selling off any, i'd be interested in guyvers 0,1,2&3,(maxfactory versions) still unbuilt in their boxes.

quick question.

were the elfin kits original work or were they a line of recast kits?

I should probably know this.

they were recast kits ryuki, but very well made, good quality, if memory serves me right i think it was an italian company. i could be wrong about that though.

well you learn something new everyday i didnt know they were recasts ,i know recasts are popular on ebay but they are never in boxes always sealed in bags.<br />Oh guyver fan nice find if you find a better quality pic i can upload it to the server.<br />I had guyver 1 elfin model in the nineties wish i had never lost it.

[*guyverfan]

pfft, italian company, i don't know where i got that from, but i fished one out and had a look on the box and elfin was a korean company

here you go, hope this helps.

by the way, do you know that aparenetly max factory had made two different types of thancras in the model kit range. i think it might of been unattentional as they both carried the same product number, but the difference was they changed the colour of him. they made a green and also a blue.(they might of run out of blue pigment colour on the production line, LOL)

i like to think the elfin range were recasts, although anyone thats got them can tell you that they are very highly detailed, perfect molded for recasts.

 

but you never know, elfin may have been contracted to do reproductions using original moulds?

i'd probably have to sit down one day and compare a couple of elfin models to max factory models i guess to come up with some sort of answer?

 

anyone out there know any history about this company and their kits?

[lost unit]

thanks for the cover i will upload it later.

I searched the web for info on the elfin range but it was very small on the guyver range ,i may have been looking in the wrong place?

I mostly got planes and car kits i dont think they have a home site.

[*guyverfan]

you might want to add a zerbebuth

thank you Guyver fan gonna upload in a bit , i have not had any feedback from anybody else besides yourself its like every body wants to look but not contribute, but i will perceiver and keep searching.

[*guyverfan]

i think it would be great if you included images of the box cover art for the gashapon series on the wiki, images should be easy to find.

[*Jess♥]

I have two of those. if you can't find decent scans, I can scan my boxes. I have libertus and griselda.

oh but they were random. so there is only one box design for each series. I have series #1

[lost unit]

i have the box cover for the #1

gonna do a search on #2
