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?"

Hi all! Check this one out. I got one of the JFrame pics of Guyver1 from goodsmile. #3/50! It's really quite amazing!!

The countdown begins...

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

New miniature up!

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!! (c'mon, you were thinking it too)

"Not long ago, when times were simpler..." By the Power of Grayskull!

Spotted this on the director's IG...

Check this Guyver1 1:1 head sculpt!!

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.

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...

"Please, Father, heed my words..."

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

I can't believe we missed a month! These were from the start of October! They did Shin/Sin's Zoalord form! And another Zoanoid.

From the Guyver Midnight FB page: "34-page script and 34 days to go before we begin principal photography on “Guyver: Genesis” Our team has been planning every single detail and we’re working with some absolutely incredible collaborators. To everyone who helped make this possible, thank you—we are looking forward to the bright future of this series."

This is true, OVA 12 totally reversed the trend and turned out amazing! And I'm right with you on them being in a jam without Team Five - they'd probably have been able to futz a lot of modified plot points in a hypothetical continuation but so much of the Gigantic payoff is set up by the Aptom/Zx-Tole brawl that couldn't take place I do wonder how well Act II sold when all was said and done; hard to find sales figures from those days, to say the least! You're very welcome, glad you found it as neat as I did!

As a side note, although the animation quality dipped in the second half of the OVA series, it saved the best till last. OVA 12 had my favourite art style probably in the entire series. It's a pity that we never got to see more of that animation. Although the OVA continuity had steered too far from the manga that I don't know how they would've continued the plot. If Aptom had survived, they would've had to completely rewrite his attack on Chronos, as Team Five were already dead in that timeline. Not that I think there was any intention to carry on the OVAs anyway.

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

UPDATE: THEY BROKE THE $20K MARK!!!!!!!!
