Do....you know him personally or something? Not really but ive been talking to him quite a lot the last week or so. To be honest I'm pretty surprised by how open he has been with me. He and his company are doing a whole line of guyver busts and maquettes based on the movies. Obviously subject to change but so far the 1/1 busts are looking like Guyver 1, Guyver Zoanoid, Lisker/Corben, probably Crane as well but havent heard that as of yet. Guyver 1 comes out the 2nd quarter of this year, its already in production but is still not finalised. Its an exact replica from the Movie molds but they chose not to chrome the orbs to keep costs down but they look pretty metallic anyway, and they had to design new eye lenses as the original company stopped making them in the 90's. Here's a quote where he mentioned the movie. (he was talking to me about the new lenses) "Those were actually a mock up I made using beads. From a distance they look ok. But not terrible good in closeups. The final ones, although a little different, are actually holographic and are much more cool looking in person. Any future guyver eyes, including any future films will most likely have these same eyes." He re-confirmed in a separate convo that there may be a new film in the works.

Finally received vol 25 for my birthday! Here's the proof!

Happy bday!!

SPOILERS: Thor was actually dead during Civil War. The Thor lookalike in 'Civil War' was an android, coated in cloned tissue derived from one of Thor's hairs (So sort of a 'Thorminator'), which Tony Stark had obtained way back when the Avengers were just starting up and he wanted to ascertain whether Thor was a superhuman, an alien, a mutant or actually something which could not be quantified - like a god. What surprises me most about all of this is that Thor even has DNA. The Thor clone - usually known as 'Clor' - had an artificial brain, so he was not human in any sense of the word; nobody is entirely sure who programmed him, but there is strong evidence it was Henry Pym; the Thor clone was apparently a group project by Tony Stark, Reed Richards and Henry Pym. The problem with that was that, at the time, Henry Pym was actually Criti-Noll, a Skrull infiltrator. Anyway, Clor kept repairing himself after the moment above and, after discovering he really was just a copy of Thor, changed his name to Ragnarok and fought the original, only to be defeated again. Eventually he was inured into the Thunderbolts, and the evil dr.June Covington (aka 'Toxic Doxie') used the advanced technology of an alternate universe they travelled to to restore him completely, without his artificial brain. So then he technically really was a clone of Thor, albeit retaining his 'Clor / Ragnarok' memories; he finalized the deal by seizing the hammer of the alternate universe Thor to see whether he was worthy, or just a carbon copy. Then this happened... Whatever he is now, he seems more heroic than anything, but his current whereabouts are unknown.

I don't see how they could make it like it was in the comic. In the comic: - Spidey was already working for Tony Stark in his civilian identity of Peter Parker, and helped him in his attempt to stop the Superhuman Registration Act politically. - He revealed his civilian identity to the public for the first time ever when the SHRA went into effect to support it. - He changed his views when the actual civil war began, mainly because of the way the pro-registration side treated prisoners and, If I remember Correctly, the death of Goliath and the cloning of Thor (and wouldn't it be something if they cloned Thor in the movie? Doubt it though). - He went underground after the war, but then Aunt May got shot and he sought help from, among others, Tony Stark again. You just can't do all that in a movie where you introduce Spider-Man. *** Hold on. Almost all the Avengers are in this movie. Only Thor and the Hulk are missing. This is almost a third Avengers movie!

I always figured Guyver would work in a few ways in a game... - Hack and slash game - Like Dynasty Warriors or like Transformers: Devastation ( also by Platinum Games). I say TF:D simply because there is less overall enemies on screen, which would be a bit more accurate to the way the Guyver fights. 2-3 Zoanoids at a time, rather than 5-10+ like in Dynasty Warriors games. - Turn based Strategy RPG - Like Super Robot Wars, Shining Force and others. While Guyver may not be quite big enough for it's own game, it would be cool to see it including in a game with other like series. But it's a great way to have a lot of different enemies, without worrying about scale and such. Would make using thing like the Draglord and Gigantic Exceed even easier. I think essentially, as long as normal enemy units died fairly easily, since the Guyvers can really tear through normal Zoanoids easily, and a lot of Hypers still don't give them much trouble... I would be mostly ok with it.
