Max Factory Bio Fighter Collection #11 Pluqstahl

Purgstall, in spite of being one of the twelve most powerful beings in the world, was considered timid, and disliked violence. Dr.Barcus has chosen him in Vienna around 215 years before the present. He was Austrian, which implies that he was a citizen of the Holy Roman Empire. His name was taken from an ancient fortified market town which is not north-east Austria, the Purgstall an der Erlauf.

This is Plugstahl in his Zoalord battleform. His colour scheme is associated to the sky which he draws his power from.

He is able to summon thunderstorm at will. Pluqstahl demonstrated his power when he was fighting with Guyver Gigantic.

Pluqstahl raise his arm and use it as a lightning rod to harness the power of the element. His combat abilities were vast, but most effective across a distance.

Once he accumulated a charge, he will be able to direct the blast towards his enemies.

Pluqstahl comes with a cape, which is exclusive to the Zoalord.

Pluqstahl with the cape on. Now he can really live up to the status of a Zoalord.

He emits an oppressing presence with the addition of the cape.

Pluqstahl is actually one of the Zoalord that I actually like and love but alas, he was betrayed and killed by the rogue Zoalords. All in all, this is another great figure from Max Factory. If you are a Guyver fan and you come across one of this on sale at a reasonable price. Grab it! I assure you, you would not regret adding this Zoalord to your collection.

Max Factory Bio Fighter Collection #10 Guyver Gigantic

Sho made contact with the Relic through his Control Metal when he venture into the alien spaceship. Afraid of losing the Relic along with the alien technology that came with it to a bunch of renegades, Balcus ordered the destruction of the Relic. The combine might of the Zoalords annihilated the Relic. In a bid to save his friends (who were taking shelter in the ship), Sho willed the Relic to teleport his friends to a safe location. In doing so, the control orbs of the ship fused with the Control Metal of the Guyver, then pulled Agito and the remains of Sho into it, sealing itself off from the destruction and relocating itself. Not long after the incident, Agito found a pupa with him and residing inside was the remains of Guyver I, tissues of the ship and the fused control orbs. Sho, desiring more power to fight against Archanfel, had subconsciously used the newly-fused control orbs to build an upgrade module for the Guyver unit. One year passed and Sho was finally resurrected as the Guyver Gigantic.

The anti-Zoalord module. The Gigantic.

Close up on the front of the figure. The detail is true to the manga/anime.

This figure comes with an extra head with the Vibration Globes exposed.

Enhanced High frequency Blades. They are now more flexible and can grow to amazing distances.

The Giga-Smasher is said to be a hundred times more devastating than the Mega-Smasher due to the presence of two extra Gravity Control Orbs.

The Gigantic powered up all its gravity orb and activate the barrier shield. With the chest spike extended forming the Gravity Ram, it accelerates towards it's enemy obliterating everything in it's path.

Size comparison of Guyver 1 and the Gigantic.

Despite being a 5-year old product, it used a very good articulation system which rival those which was produced in present day. This figure has become another gem among fans. You may still find it in the net but be prepared to pay a premium price for it just like I did. But believe me, you will never regret getting this figure.

RX-93-2 Hi Nu Gundam

The RX-93-v-2 aka Hi Nu Gundam was an alternate interpretation of Amuro's Nu Gundam in Mobile Suit Gundam: Beltorchika's Children. It is the pinnacle product of Mobile Suit technology. Unlike the Nu Gundam, the Hi Nu Gundam has a complete frame which came with a unique tri-booster system. These boosters were capable of great accelerations and the propellant tanks extended the duration of time the boosters could remain active. This MS also spot a complete fin funnel system. Another improvement on the Hi Nu is that it could recharge the fin funnel's power supply, extending their performance time and range to much higher levels than those of previous remote weapons.

This bad boy was my first commission work.

The colour scheme of black and white was used for this Hi Nu with some silver for highlight.

This kits comes with your standard beam rifle, beam saber and a shield.

I took the liberty to change the forearm machine gun into a beam weapon. Who needs 2 beam saber when you can do this?

I have a lot of fun building this kit. The only regret that I have is that the kit is not mine. Now I understand why some modeler charge such a high price for a commission work. Each and every model no matter how good or bad the end product is, is still build with a tremendous amount of time and effort. The feeling of parting with a model you build is like the feeling of giving up your child for adoption. Well at least I know that I can always look at it every time I am in KK.
