Guyver 1
Bio Booster Armor Guyver was a manga series from the 80’s created by Yoshiki Takaya about an alien device that bonds with a human, forming the ultimate biological weapon. I first discovered Guyver in 1993 from the old VIZ comics, but I’m sure most people remember the live-action Guyver movie from 1991 B-movie starring Mark Hamill (that’s LUKE SKYWALKER to you pal.) Japanese toy maker Max factory made these cool but expensive action figures starting in 2005. Up until then I think the only Guyver figures were garage kits. These modern figures are known for their amazing sculpts, articulation, and high price tags. The Bio Fighter Collection MAX Fullaction Figure Series features assorted characters from the Guyver series, and is unfortunately relatively unknown amongst collectors. While no bigger than a Marvel Legends figure, these figures can run upwards of $50 new. This hyper-articulated figure features a body made out of hard plastic, with flexible rubber plates in strategic areas. This allows for a natural look while posing. This figure can pull off some really amazing, normal looking poses. The figure comes with variant hands and longer arm blades. The chest panel opens up to reveal the heart of the Guyver. This figure comes from the collection of Matt Doughty of Onell Design fame. Thanks to Matt for letting me check out this figure! Submitted by JoshB on 15 October, 2008 - 08:15. I saw these figures a couple of times. The high price tag that keep me to even look at it. It's cool after all. I actually got the Image+ version of the figure that contained an extra head (half of Sho's [human form of Guver 1] exposed face) and an additional hand that hold a piece of the Guver's "face." Anybody got this version as well? -------------------------------- |

It's really cool action figure :)Thing beneath the chest panel is Guyver's ultimate weapon 'Mega Smasher' kind of energy beam. It take time to collect energy before release it, then it's also Guyver weak point.
