*PrimalNemesis Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Does anyone own this figure, if so how does it stack up to the old Max Factory ones? Is it sturdy? Quote
Matt Bellamy Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Does anyone own this figure, if so how does it stack up to the old Max Factory ones? Is it sturdy? It's pretty much a smaller version of the Max Factory figure... But with years of Figma technology improving the basics of the figure ( though, as with all figures, there are always some figures with manufacturing errors/issues). The biggest difference is the chest plates. It has 2 removable ones. One that opens, similar to the max factory figure, but looks a bit awkward when not posing with an open mega smasher... So they included a closed version, which looks better when not using a mega smasher pose. It's essentially a better figure overall... But smaller. Though interesting to note, it is almost perfectly in scale to the Max Factory Gigantic figure. Quote

It broke in half when I barely lifted it by the waste to dust it off. I applied no pressure or strain. It just snapped like a twig for no reason. I've been very cautious about buying any ore Guyver figures since then. Quote

Kanji Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 I didn't know whether to start a new thread or bump an old one, but since this is a display of the Figma with the old BFC figures I thought it may as well go here. I love the scale between them! I really hope GSC are brave enough to give us a new GIII Figma in this scale! Apologies now for the big pictures without spoiler tags!! Will add if needed. 3 Quote
Kanji Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) That looks awesome Kanji!! Thanks Guyver1! I'm really pleased with how they look together. This was a bit of a rush job, but i'm really keen to test the limits of the old BFC's articulation and finally play with the alternate hands, etc. (just terrified about snapping them!) The new effects from Tamashii and the energy blasts from my DBZ figs really bring it to life. I'm looking forward to being able to give my display more dynamism! I just wish I had more space and better display shelves! Edited November 10, 2015 by Kanji 2 Quote

Although my figures aren't as sweetly posed as yours are. I only have Guyvers 1-3. Need to get the rest of the BFC. One day! Quote

Love Guyver III, but he is out of scale in comparison now. The Aptom Ver.4, Murikami and Gyuot BFC's are all pretty old in terms of the series chronology now, but thinking I will add Evil Aptom to the display as he was amazing! My Hyperzoanoid Team 5 and Neo-zxtole figures are also great, but I just don't have space for them! Still got my fingers crossed we will see a Figma Guyver IIF one day!! That would really be something special!! Quote
