Hey guys, Finally got a bit of time to take some BFC pictures. Not great admittedly, but I was in a rush. Hope you enjoy

Awesome work bio guyver!! I'm really getting excited about this now. BTW, anyone who has photo's of their BFC's or BFW's and would like to share I'd personally love to see your photo's

Thanks Aether. Akiyama appears to be someone who was working at Goodsmile when spawngod1 e-mailed him with a similar question back in 09. Chances are he isn't there anymore which is why I copied in their support address. No response thus far, but haven't given up yet. Thanks Ryuki. Gonna print off some of your scanlations and use as a backdrop if that's alright. It's something I like to do with my One Piece Portrait.Of.Pirates figures, so would like to try it for Guyver

Imakarum arrived today!! so pleased. Will upload pictures when I get a chance to take some over the weekend!!

I sent the below e-mail to Mr. Akiyama-san/Goodsmile support this evening: Dear Mr Akiyama-san "秋山拓郎", I hope you are well. I am contacting you on behalf of the Guyver fandom both in Europe and the rest of the world regarding the release of one of our most beloved characters from the Guyver series, the Zoalord Archanfel. Back in 2007 we bared witness to some truly beautiful prototypes of a Max Factory Archanfel as part of the Bio Fighter Collection Guyver line of action figures. 5 years on, and the community is truly clamouring to get their hands on such a magnificent figure and we were hoping that you could give us some indication as to whether you still expect to put it into production in the near future? I attach pictures of this truly majestic figure as a reminder of the potential and urge that you consider releasing it as the fanbase wll most certainly buy it. We are actively working on a petition and can assure you that should you release it, even as a limited run, the fanbase will eternally be in your gratitude. I eagerly look forward to your response. Many thanks, Kindest Regards, Benjamin Bouhsine I'll keep you posted on any developments.

Elegen, Gaster, Derzerb, Thancrus & Purgstall BF's arrived today I'm very please. Just Imakarum to come now, should be in the next couple of days Expect some pics once they're all here

I hear you there Aether!! Those two would be great!! Also an Aptom Ver.5 'Omega Blast' would be very welcomed )

You're right Ryuki. Guyver III was released Apr. 2004, and then Aptom Dec. 2004, but then the majority began coming out in 2005 including the BFW's by which point I think the Anime had been announced as it started airing Aug. 2005 It all pretty much happened within 12 months of each other, we also had the reissued TankÅbons after vol.23 in 2005, so I think it was all part of the same resurgence of Guyver that happened around that time. I think we need something big to kickstart the franchise again

I agree!! I would simply love for Max Factory to finally release the Alky. Earlier in this thread there is reference to an e-mail sent to Akiyam-san @ Goodsmile who seemed very helpful at the time. "秋山拓郎" akiyama@goodsmile.jp I know this was 4 years ago, but wonder whether this would be a good starting point. Atleast if only to find out where we can direct our pleas ) I'll put something together this evening. If anyone else has any contacts at goodsmile this may also help. We could always just e-mail their generic support address. My only worry is that they stopped production because the anime ended. If I remember correctly the figure line started around 05' when the anime series was airing. Sadly, without a 2nd series there may be reluctance to invest. You can see if happening with Berserk ever since the feature film was announced, Max Factory have unveiled a Gutts & now a Griffiths figure.

Tell me about it!! I think if that prototype ever went up for sale I'd easily pay over 100,000 Yen for it!! Although I'd imagine it'd go for even more than that!!

Hey guys, sorry for bumping an old thread, but in the absence of a dedicated collectibles thread I didn't know where else to post. I started collecting Max Factory Guyver back in 05. At the time I couldn't afford to buy all the figures, so I'm now trying to pick up the remaining one's I missed through Mandarake & Ebay sellers. I recently ordered a MIB Imakarum for £140 (should have got him on release 2 years ago), but more importantly I finally found a seller willing to part with his Hyper Zoanoid Five BFW figures. Sadly there is no original packaging, but as they seem to be so rare we settled on £100 for the 4. Do you guys thinks that is a good price? Anyway, writing this I'm starting to think it deserves it's own thread, but I was hoping we could use this to post people wishlists along with links to Mandarake/Ebay auctions for figures people may be interested in. We could also post images of Guyver collectibles we are proud of. I for one will be posting pictures of my Zoanoid 5 when they arrive Anyway, that's enough waffle. Let me know what you guys think.

LOLZ love your thoughts on what Apollyon was saying to Guyot XD. Apollyon: Shampoo is better! No, Conditioner is better! Guyot: WTF?! On a serious note, Maybe Apollyon wasn't actually after Clummegnic or Jabir? When last seen, Apollyon said he was suprised that Guyot was still alive, and that the Rogues were the ones that helped keep him alive. But then he said if he follows Guyot that he will lead him to "those two". What if he was looking for the Segawas? Guyot is chump change, and if Apollyon had wanted to take him or Valkyria, he would have taken them when they first met. All Guyot has is a crumby Dummy Crystal. Of course, this is just my theory cuz I still think Apollyon is Imakarum, and might be showing up to make sure Guyot doesn't kill the Segawas. Oh, and I ditto the thought that Aptom saved Natsuki. Every other secondary character who is important to the story died on panel, and I don't think Takaya-san would change after all this time. I wonder whether when Apollyon said "those two" he was referring to the 2 guyver units 1 & 3. I'm still hoping he is imakarum, having just bought the max factory figure it would be nice to see him face off again against the gigantics in his powered up form
