Yeah, unfortunately Figma's being delayed is almost a 50-50 chance. This likely being a special edition as well ( since 2025 is the 40th anniversary) the chances are probably higher... I'll be buying 2, like I did with Guyver 1... Unless they announce a certain red colored EX figure to be released at the same time... I would just get one of each then, as that is getting too high in cost by that point for me.

I think we'll see more in the Jan/feb Winter Wonderfest, with probably a late 2025 for a release date... This is all going by how long it took the new Guyver 1 figma to go from uncolored prototype to release.

I'd heard about it before, but never thought they were serious about it. Well, I'm down for it.

The Guyver parts do look neat, as they are robotic in nature, not just straight design copied over... But about 80% if the figure is just their standard "Gale Hound" base figure (Head, chest and parts to add arm blades). It's a pretty lazy collaberation... One I probably won't be taking part in. It's more like a "character" in the Titanomakia universe of story are fans of Guyver and customized their suits that way.

They may not be 100% accurate... but goddamn, it's nice to see someone putting out regular Guyver content.

Prime 1 Studios has put out a video announcing the upcoming preorders for 2 "new" Guyver statues. They state Winter 2024 for the preorders to open. Guyver 1 - Comic Art Color Edition Guyver 2 Female

The only problem here, is the problem with my eyes! As soon as I read this, I took one more look, and both the shattered glass and kobalt blue figures jumped out to me almost immediately.

I have gone over the impressive collection and I noticed a lack of Bay-Formers, which is not a bad thing... But also seem to be missing, unless my really poor eyes cannot see him, one of my all time favorites, the Classics Optimus Prime.

I'd say, mention you are going to post spoilers and then give a couple lines of space... But at this point, as you have stated, Social media jerks have spoiled most of it, it not all of it. I think at this point, anyone coming into a Deadpool 3 post, that has a bunch of buffer posts already, a week after launching, should expect spoilers. *Edit* Edited the topic title to warn of spoilers anyway.

Makes sense as an evil version of Iron Man? Yes. Surely. Toss in some Dr. Strange magic, and he is practically comics Doom. But he is not Tony Stark. And RDJ is and forever should be Tony Stark... The man who literally started this all off. The sheer idea of RDJ playing Doom baffles me. It makes no sense to me how... and I am sure they are going to try their best to make it make sense... But I still don't buy it. Granted, I was also not thrilled about Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards either... I get he is the "it" guy right now, but he just doesn't fit... And I am kind of sick of him at this point. He's in too much.

Can't believe we missed posting this here... But just incase...! Unearthed Films has released a fully remastered version of the R Rated Directors cut of the first live action movie: The Guyver. Not Mutronics this time!

Yeah... Jumping right to the Gigantic is a bit of a weird thing... But would be pretty silly of them to not do Gigantic Dark, since he is literally just new fore arms, head and the chest spike... Though I would hate it if he was just an EX figure... But since they are already working on a 1/6th scale Guyver 3... I am fairly certain a new Figma Guyver 3 is at least in the works... As the new Guyver 1 Figma does share some things in common with the 1/6th scale... And they only made the new Figma Guyver 1 after having the 1/6th prototype made... But I won't be holding my breath, and will just be happy for what they are giving us... for now...

Yep. 8 years now.

Unfortunately, since these are brand new figures, in a different scale, it is VERY unlikely that they will "re-issue" anything. If they do a new Guyver 3, it will be a brand new figure.

No one knows yet exactly. With the Guyver1 Figma being around $80 US, I'd expect this to be double that, probably at least, because it will likely also have a ton of accessories.

New official picture released. It WILL be in scale with the new Figma... Thus will be bigger than the BFC Max figure.

Finally in my possession! There are already a number of small things I dislike about it... Minor things that you'd think on such an expensive figure would be dealt with... Things I could forgive on a $300 figure of this size. Frankly, I don't think it was ever going to be "worth" the price they charged. Though it didn't have a specific limited number like the Prime 1 statues... This is still very limited. So I guess it's still nice to say I have one at the lowest price it ever will be. Though, to be fair, it was at least cheaper than what I paid for my BFC Max Imakarum... So I guess perspective is one thing...

The Classics Prime mold is my favorite Prime figure (he's a bit dusty... Just woke up? 😁)

Just updated the image, so I thought I'd share my entire collection. It's rather large as it is a collection of images of individual shelves.

The marketing campaign is going crazy. So many things so far... But this is another great piece.

First of all, I said "MIGHT NOT be 100% correct" because as any translator knows, Japanese Translations to English are rarely ever 100% perfect. A word or two can have different context depending on who or what translates it. I may not have had my sources available when I made the post to try and translate it myself, but I was NOT wrong when I said that... As even you just translated it to something different. So you literally just proved my point. The newer translation seems to suggest it is closer to what I said. A sample was used. Not "Cleaving" of a Zoacrystal as originally stated. Also, as a note, that translation was done a long long time ago. I can say without a doubt that I was not as good at drawing 10+ years ago. It's fairly safe to say that you and the Advocacy team were also not as good of translators as you are now... But it got the job done at the time. Looking back, you can't tell me there would be things you wouldn't change if you had the skills and knowledge you do now. It's in the past. Learn to live with the criticism, or go and change it if you can't.

The translation about the Zoa-crystal's might not be 100% accurate. That said, they were likely made from Archanphel's samples, but nothing that would have require amputation of his own Zoa-crystal. As well, Barcas was made into a Zoalord before he ever got access to a vast amount of knowledge from the control spheres, so there is some discrepancy about that quote exactly. The knowledge to make a full proper Zoa-crystal might be limited to himself. it's hard to say, since the rogue Zoalords give Guyot a "Dummy" crystal, even they might not know how to make one. And no, they do not have "spares" lying around, or Apollyon would be after those first. As for what happened to Archanphel... Before the Creators left, they nearly crippled him with an attack, and THEN he forcefully used his full power to destroy the planetoid that they had sent to destroy Earth. Whatever they did to him, plus his over exertion, seems to be the cause of his need to rest for long periods. The entire time Archanphel spent in his bio-pod was only enough to allow him to rest... but the lingering damage from the Creators seems to be the actual problem. As long as he remains rested and charged, he seems to be ok... But as soon as he uses he powers, it drains him too much and whatever they did to him starts affecting him again. It is unknown if Barcas could do anything to help him... We've seen some of the Zoalords need to undergo adjustments and processing after strenuous use of their powers... But it is unknown if Archanphel will even let Barcas to even try to do anything. As for Imakarum, his Zoa-crystal was simply badly cracked by Gigantic Dark, while he was already tired... And Imakarum was made differently than the other 11, so we don't exactly know by what process, or exactly how he is different... Especially since, if you believe Imakarum is Apollyon, he was not only fixed, but evolved and super charged by Archanphel and the Ark while in Archaphel's original Bio-pod. From what we can gather about Zoa-crystals, is that they are like energy batteries for a Zoalord. Functionally, as long as one has power, that Zoalord is practically immortal. Like when Carleon had his crystal pulled from his head by Apollyon, he rapidly aged. This likely didn't happen to Guyot, as he was actually a fairly new Zoalord. The science around them is kinda weird. Waferdanos only used his Zoa-crystal to maintain his Human like form and use Zoalord like powers in the form. Once he removed his crystal, he returned to his original form as "King" of the "Forest". While Li Yentsui removed his own crystal and was still able to use his powers one last time. And as for Griselda, her creator, Dr Hekkering was Cronos's #2 scientist and helped created some of the Zoalords and their Proto-types. So his Zoa-crystal is likely heavily based on what he knows from helping Barcas over the years.

Sadly, mine got stolen because of a ****ty delivery person, even though I paid just as much for the shipping as I did the book... And don't feel like paying that much a second time.

It's also weird that the comic is in Japanese... But the screen shots of the game itself is all Chinese...
