PowerofGuyver

Looks like the exhibit was really well made, lots of cool stuff. Must have a lot of fans at Kadokawa who still love it to put up an event like this.

Are there even enough of us to milk to begin with?

Yeah it's just a business thing. Guyver has been part of their long list of IP for decades. They're not gonna just let it go. Even if they're doing nothing with it, it's still some worth to keep it. Because otherwise, someone else could gain the IP and do something with it, that would be worse.

I'm thinking if going through Goodsmile, but you don't have to pay at check out right?

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

Ugh for the love of God it's been over a year since the Gigantic Guyver was revealed. Let's get this over with!

It hurts to know I'll be over 40 when Gigantic Dark is released. Yaaaay for being a fan of Guyver...

So at best, probably looking at a Q4 2026 release at the earliest. Otherwise we are going into 2027! 😬 We have the worst luck as a fandom.

I wish it didn't take long for these things to be released from announcements to release. Guyver Gigantic was shown in June 2024. We got an update this June, but no solicitations for pre-orders. How much longer could it be?

200 I can do for the Guyver Gigantic. More than that, I may be priced out. Hope not though, because that thing is looking to be my grail.

What do you think the damage is gonna be on Guyver Gigantic? 250? 300?

I can only assume all the questions marks mean "maybe" perhaps they're gauging interest at the event to see if there is any demand for this figure.

So many Guyver toys. And yet....Guyver II is always missing.

I see, well I hope things are ok behind the scenes, I wonder if they ran into some legal trouble or something.

What happened to this project? It's way passed November.

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.
