Not sure if I'm a fan of that glossy finish. I think the matte of the BFC gave them a really nice look and feel. Also I remember seeing a photo of the figmas a while back and really liking the finish of the paint. Can't remember what it was exactly I liked about it, but it looks like that's gone. What a shame

Damn, Guyot has the WORST luck with running into beings of extreme power. Must be very frustrating for him. But very enjoyable to see him being thwarted like he deserves. Good chapter.

Not to be a massive butt kisser but his signature is awesome! Great photos. What is that Guyver Out of Control/Standardized book you have?

Ah yes I remember hearing about this a while ago, nice to see some pics! A shame there aren't any of Takaya himself, or more of a crowd. Are there rules against photography in Japan for these sorts of events?

Did that Thancrus come with the base? That figure looks really great - Thancrus is one of my favourite Zoanoids

Pretty understandable complaint, considering some manga are like, what, 50 pages monthly? I assumed Takaya had assistants like most other mangaka. Oh well. We really ought to try and get used to it now. At least he hasn't pulled any recap bullshit on us recently. The ending was rather strange and abrupt. Takaya quickly getting 2013's Guyver out the way? Anyway,

Yeah, it is more likely something to do with Archanfel rather than Aptom's abilities. I gather that only Zoalords can sense powers, as Murakami did on top of the Relic. The Guyver's sensory orbs don't detect powers as much as they detect presences, right? Although perhaps I should have a quick peek at the datafiles first...

http://www.japan-legend.com/guyver_advocacy/07_-_viz_english_version/045/31 Is this what you're referring to? This is peculiar, I don't think he's ever showcased this ability since this point. Did ZX-Tole have some sort of sensing powers too?

I can only imagine because by mixing 2nd editions with 3rd editions you get an inconsistent look of the books on your shelf, purely an aesthetic thing. Very superficial reason to increase the price. But I'm sure the earlier editions will probably be worth more further along the line.

You could also check out the VDF, it will probably have a much more interesting data file than the tankobon

I love the packaging of the BFW figures.<br />Question, can you move the BFW zoanoids along the lines on the figures? i know they're not really made to be articulated like the BFC, but I'm just wondering if they have any at all

Haha, fair enough. Looks like Archanfel overestimated himself that day

I think I see what you mean. And then presumably when he sees Sho come so far, all the way to Silha to save his friends that will be a moment of realization for Archanfel. But does Archanfel hold any ill feelings towards the Guyvers? I can see why he would dislike Guyvers as beings, but Sho? It could just start a conflict

I assumed the Remover was destroyed in the lava. At least that's what Archanfel thought, and I figured if he thought there was a chance it was still in one piece he would've made an effort to retrieve such an important device

Looks like the colour hardly changes from Aptom's scheme. Lovely cover! Thanks Cannibal

Is there any indication that there was a game that could be played with these? Did they come with rules or anything like that?

https://twitter.com/DavidBHayter/status/366447188311683074/photo/1 Wow, that's really weird! But really cool. How out of the blue can you get. It would be awesome if this was a sign of something to come. Who owned the rights to live action Guyver anyway that messed it all up?

I think Sho's conditions for losing the first Enzyme battle should be considered differently depending on which media of the Guyver we're watching. In the manga, only Tetsuro is watching the battle and, as far as Sho is concerned, he doesn't need to worry too much about Tetsuro because Enzyme only wants Sho. Sho's arm is bitten off only because a Cronos soldier apprehending Tetsuro distracts Sho into looking away from Enzyme. In the 12-part OVA, Enzyme seems to show some kind of super speed which allows him to bite his arm off. In the TV series, Sho just doesn't seem to be taking the fight very seriously and loses his arm very unceremoniously... (let's not get started on this version of the fight). In all medias, the loss of Sho's arm is pretty much the turning point of the fight and is followed by him getting impaled. It's pretty hard to say exactly what he did wrong/how he could've won unless you specify which media you're talking about! I would definitely say that just watching the 12-part OVA, Enzyme looks to be much stronger than presented in the other incarnations, as if there really was no hope for Sho to win. In the others it just seems that unforunate circumstances led to the fight being in Enzyme's favour

8 pages kinda sucks though

My friend gave me his Dead Space product key for free to activate it on Steam. I played the first 45 minutes or so and am enjoying it quite a bit. The mouse and keyboard controls make it hard to do just about anything though. I'm usually alright with tank controls and am one of the few people that thinks Resident Evil 4/5 have fine control schemes as they are, but I'm having trouble moving about and aiming in Dead Space. It does add to the stress levels though which makes things a bit more tense and entertaining. I got used to keyboard/mouse with RE6 though quite quickly, so hopefully the same will happen with Dead Space I didn't actually realize it had become a massive franchise when I got it though. Super out of the loop here, I just got it so I had something new to try out. I'm really surprised. I'll see how much I enjoy it before I decide whether or not I wanna get stuck into the others.

Takaya sure likes that pose! http://www.japan-legend.com/guyver_advocacy/18_-_Target_Ark_of_Uranus/109

Yeah, very impressive. I was particularly impressed by the second guy who came face-to-face with the "Jerk". I would be pretty scared to play that role.

I prefer the brown shade of the third Vamore, though the shading could afford to be darker as well. Also I think maybe a few tweaks might help it out a bit - I agree with what LordSpleach said about the chest and this is how I feel it could be changed: The rest of the body looks swell though dude

I have no idea about the purple tendrils that seem to wrap up Sho, but I would seriously doubt that Sho can tear a portion of the armour off like that. Not only would it show that the Guyver armour really isn't that strongly put together, but also because it wouldn't make sense - the Guyver armour changes Sho's proportions. It just wouldn't make any sense.

In such a rage, I don't think Val would simply buy that his CM malfunctioned. It would be a very Sho thing to do, to try and talk her into peace, but I doubt she'd just simply accept that and join him. Maybe unless she was pushed into a similar situation with her CM and Sho spared her, would be her "moment of clarity".
