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.

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 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.

Guyver: The Bio-boosted Armor 40th Anniversary Exhibition ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The FIRST-EVER original art exhibition in Guyver history❗ The event will feature a massive display of figures and plastic models, plus exclusive original merchandise for sale. 📅 {March 14 (Sat) – March 22 (Sun)} 2026 📍 Akiba CO Gallery Check the website for details! 🔗 https://www.goodsmile.com/ja/Guyver40thAnniversary https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUaPolUAPb0/

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?

A short video released by Max Factory advertising the re-release of the Guyver 1 Ultimate Edition Figma at the upcoming 40th Anniversary Event seems to suggest that the new Figma of Gigantic Dark might not be too far behind...

Completely forgot to check! Next up is Waferdanos!

It's been a week and we finally got some shots of the upcoming Guyver merch from the Shanghai Wonderfest 2025. No preorder dates yet, but the Titanomachia Guyver 1 and Guyver 3 kits are looking better, this time with a splash of color... But I don't think they are done with the armor on them just yet. And a couple shots of the upcoming Figma Guyver Gigantic. Hopefully we will get a pre-order date soon. Thanks to Donald Burtschi from the Guyver!! Facebook group for sharing these!

It's been years since I have been here, I wanted to see if my login still worked and say hi and perhaps discuss guyver again now that we are seeing more needed exposure from the series, nice to see you all again.

FIGMA Guyver 3 Ultimate Edition is now up for Pre-Order! Pre-orders are open now with a release date of: APRIL 2027! The Price is: 13,800 Yen - Approximately $78-85 US! Pre-Orders are only open until AUGUST 26th! 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. Ordering from the Japanese sites might be more expensive upfront, but you will always get the figure much quicker, as almost all US sites, including Goodsmile US have to wait a few months for their shipments to arrive. The US site release date is JULY-SEPTEMBER 2027 Like the Guyver 1 Ultimate Edition, Goodsmile IS offering a Pre-Order bonus stand plate that is all black with the Guyver logo on it. It seems to be the same one released with Guyver 1. More site to be added as the big ones update their sites likely later today/tomorrow. Goodsmile Japan https://www.goodsmile.com/en/product/1143909/figma+Guyver+III+Ultimate+Edition Goodsmile US https://www.goodsmileus.com/products/figma-guyver-iii-ultimate-edition-66757 Amiami https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail?gcode=FIGURE-205454 ------------------------------- Just thought I'd edit the post instead of posting a new one. ------------------------------- Brand new official images of the FIGMA Guyver 3 Ultimate Edition have been released, along with news of the release date of APRIL 2027! I assume the pre-order will drop very soon, and a separate post with pre-order links will be made at that time. Until then, enjoy the pictures! Oddly, the figure also has the same seam like down the side of the head... But no alternate faceplate.

Yeah they're very cool. Hilariously expressive

Since this post has been brought back up now... Here's the updated image of my Guyver collection... Since I completed the BFC Max line completely, and of course the newer Figma Guyver 1 and 1/6th scale Guyver 1. Also picked up some more of the trading figures... and also got the Guyver Unit DVD case with the rare figure from it. Had to have new glass shelves made and hangers to put them on to fit the rest of the collection.

Those things will be cuddly gold dust to Guyver fans in a few years

Got me one! It's pretty cool actually...

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...

BIO MORPH!

From Steve Wang himself...!

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!

New preview!

At this point, Takaya should come out and tell the fans if he's done, rather than leave the series on permanent hiatus. If he's keeping the door open for a return, he should also make it known. George R.R. Martin gives status updates now and again, even if no one expects him to realistically finish the books. Instead, Guyver fans have been left in limbo. Takaya is the wrong side of 60, and we saw with Kentaro Miura that anything can happen, but at least Miura was still working on Berserk when he passed away. I have to wonder if Kadokawa won't officially end the manga, as they still need the IP to hawk figurines and merchandise.

Evil Ted has completed the Foam stunt prop version of the case! He is still working on the lighting on the hero prop and said it should be done tomorrow.

I love that Evil Ted is making the case. Bringing back the old legends to work on the fan project just hits right in the nostalgia. Some in progress shots from his Facebook page.

A little taste of things to come... "Did you bring it?"

I also got this 1:1 Guyver1 sofubi...

The countdown begins...

My god, look at that sexy bastard 😍🤣

And the new trailer for it! https://youtu.be/u4MIQNfgeY0?si=he50XJpcC6Q1KMbi

"I will be all that is left..."

IT'S UP! IT'S FINALLY UP!!!!!!

Just spotted on their IG page, could this be a sign?

New miniature up!

Spidey is one of my favorite characters. I got this bad boy back in 1999 from a local comic shop. Just before my 18th birthday. Hopefully this new movie will keep the glory going!!

Bruno Patrick as Malmot is pretty neat. I wasn't into their short film to be honest but this looks like it will be a lot of fun and worth watching for sure

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

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...

very exciting stuff. the BTS photos he posted on the following post are also very nice. wasn't really expecting any new media for guyver's 40th so this will do nicely. hopefully the OST finally sees the light of day. that thread that Les Claypool was posting in sounded very promising all those years ago so hopefully this is it. also some pretty nuts camera trickery to make the rhino zoanoid look as tall as he did on screen!

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

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...

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

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

I really need to get update pictures to my collection done... But then I look over at the rather large pile of kits I haven't built and think I should probably work on them first... But just a quick pic I took a couple days ago... After finishing the Detonator Orgun Moderoid model kit and thought it would be silly to pose 3 characters with similar looking big attacks together. The three figures are from left to right: Moderoid Detonator Orgun Figma #600 Guyver 1 Moderoid Tekkaman Blade

Can't believe I missed it too!

Discovering a new universe, Chronos thought this new Earth would be easy prey. They were...badly mistaken.
