Gigantic Dark is officially Figma #680...! Which means we could see a much earlier release date than most of us ever hoped for, since Guyver Gigantic is Figma #671! The official Max Factory site already has a listing for Figma #681 with a release date of December... While that doesn't mean they release them in order... It's usually not too far off as the page translation says pre-order is coming soon! So they might be waiting for the new 40th Anniversary event for it's official pre-order and release date announcement.

Looks like there really was a crazy number of original illustrations on display - looks like basically everything that was in the Illustration Chronicle and, judging from some tweets, some shonen captain covers that have never been compiled anywhere and manuscript pages. Even though photography wasn't allowed you can see some of these walls in the background of other photos (links because attachments seem to be broken?) https://x.com/bounce_masa/status/2032836989205258421/photo/3 (this one you can see that some covers were drawn in two pieces - Bio freezer and Sho are isolated and displayed next to the backgrounds for volumes 21 and 22 - which i think i remember takaya talking about in the illustration book for several illustrations) https://x.com/judy_totoya/status/2033464858277249130 https://x.com/azuma_kazan/status/2033095881805988021 https://x.com/Akito_Nagumo/status/2033036847681778139 I'm fortunate enough to have a friend in Tokyo who was willing to go to the exhibition and pick up the Guyver Unit cushion for me. Very excited to receive and... hug it?

Max Watanabe posted a couple images from the exhibit early as they are setting up still. Most importantly, the 1/6th Guyver 3 returns! Shame it isn't in color... But at least it's still being shown!

We have gotten our first early color image release of the new Guyver 3 Figma. It still says Pending, so we're likely still around 6 or so months before we hear about a pre-order... but they could also rush this one out too... So normal routines may not apply. But they are really getting everything ready to make the new 40th anniversary event stand out.

They keep on adding new merch too... Now there is a plush/pillow Guyver unit...

Messageboard updated to Version 5. The Chatbox is down at the mo as it doesn't work with the new version. I'm looking into that. There will be a number of changes over the next few weeks as I both get used to the new version and tweak the site the way I want it to be.

The sad truth is that we are now all older and should have a lot more disposable income compared to decades ago, so should there be new interesting products we want, we can easily afford them. Unlike before where they market to younger demographics, they need critical mass to be profitable. Now, they can just issue limited edition merchandise and we all be like "shut up and take my money" 😄

Got an update!!!!! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/guyvergenesis/guyver-genesis/posts/4619781

Fair enough! Thanks for your work Sully

Sweet update dude! I too am getting used to the newness, but no worries!

This is indeed a complete overhaul. Nice. Will have to get my bearings on how to navigate this newly updated portal.

Wow...this is a heckuva overhaul. Just glad the site is back up again.

Another update, the teaser trailer should be debuting this Thursday, March 26!

Jerry, Matt... thank you both for these updates.

BIO MORPH!

So tell me, who's going to protect the protector?

After a long wait, a new addition to my G-Gundam collection has arrived. Still contemplating how to display it...

Well, there's actually multiple versions of Adamantium... So first you'd have to specify which one you're talking about, the Hulk has broken some versions of it, but they basically mean indestructible by any normal means. So not actually completely indestructible, just might as well be unless you have god like power... https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Adamantium https://www.cbr.com/15-characters-who-broke-adamantium/ However, they can all be destroyed with Antarctic Vibranium, which dissolves all metals... While Vibranium can absorb energy, it has its limits and can be destroyed if it absorbs too much energy, too quickly... http://www.marveldirectory.com/miscellaneous/vibranium.htm
