PowerofGuyver

So in the two live action films, it's shown that the Guyver armor is stored in the body. You see the tendrils come through the receivers on Sean's neck several times. I've always noticed this, but wondered why. Does anyone know, or at least suspect why? Was it simply an artistic liberty, or perhaps done for budgetary reasons? Since I'm sure trying the flashy transformation sequence from the anime would be too costly.

This is giving me Batman Dead End vibes in terms of how great this could be.

Hopefully. Guyver I Ultimate went on sale March 2023, for a release in December 2023, but got delayed to February. I can see Guyver Gigantic following that same path. I'm gonna buy 3.

Figma Guyver Gigantic is a literal dream come true. I'm expecting 200 USD for the price. But it'll be worth it, hopefully it won't be too long till release.

So my Figma Guyvers are pretty lonely. Which toys out there do you think stand well with Guyvers? Ya know like, toys of monsters from various IPs that can kinda sorta replace Zoanoids (because Lord knows they're never getting toys). I was shopping over at bigbadtoystore.com and remembered some monster toys I have seen for a whole. Those being: Kikimura from The Witcher Tyranid from Warhammer 40k Kryptonite Doomsday from DC comics. All made by McFarlane Toys, with articulation. They seem like worth stand-ins. Kikimura is probably the most odd one in the group, since it's very animalistic, and not humanoid like legit Zoanoids.

I'd be fine with Hyper Zoanoid Team 5. They're the more recognizable Zoanoids anyway.

Getting Figmas from Dark Hero would be cool. But I would honestly rather have Oswald Guyver II and some Zoanoids instead.

Ah wouldn't it be amazing...but I personally think there isn't enough luck on our side to make it so. 75% chance just...isn't good enough.

Coming back to this briefly. I believe this is why Guyver had a better chance in the American markets. Because overall, what you have with Guyver is a pretty classic case of a superhero story. Think about it. Young boy in highschool, gets endowed with incredible powers. And is then thrust into a world of terrible monsters, evil villains, etc. You can so easily make it work in America so long as an adaption is respectful to the source material, and is completely made.

Well now I'm sad.

Well before I go any further, is there anything I should know about Amazon Japan? Will they ship to America?

Unfortunately I wasn't able to sign in with my regular Amazon account.

So I would have to make an account at Amazon Japan in order to pre-order this artbook, correct?

This idea recently popped into my head as well. But...aside from the 2005 series. The other animated works are well received and liked. Why not try and adapt your creation for other mediums?

In my opinion I feel like it's not a bad story and setting. Young boy obtains great powers, gets thrown into a terrifying world of monsters and evil rulers, etc. It's not a deep thought, provoking story that redefines anything, but it's sure as hell fun! Even the publisher of Dragon Ball stated that there is nothing special about the story. Just characters fighting and getting stronger. Was it the gore and violence? Plenty of successful anime and manga have gore.
