Max Factory Bio Fighter Collection #5+ Guyver 1

Fukamachi Sho is Guyver 1, the protagonist of the manga Bio Booster Guyver. He was a seventeen year old school boy whose live changes dramatically after he stumble upon and activate a Guyver Unit, transforming him into Guyver 1.

The Guyver Unit was an alien artifact that was created by an ancient race called the Creator. Once activated, the Guyver unit will bind itself with the host in a process which will boost the prowess of it's host.


Max Factory has done a great job with the sculpt. There is little to no complain from me.


The detail on the figure especially the head is outstanding. I love the eyes, they are made of some translucent material. The control metal, gravity orbs, sensory orbs and vents are all in place. The only thing that stood out like a sore thumb is that metal rod that holds the chest piece to the body of the figure.


One of the main weapon of the Guyver's is the high frequency blade, which can cut through any known material. Guyver 1 comes with 2 of those, one on each wrist.



I love posing Guyver 1 with the frequency blade. It really brings out the beauty of the figure.



Another arsenal for the Guyver unit is the pressure cannon. The pressurized cannon was created using the gravity orb on the torso. It was then used on the enemy in the fashion of throwing a baseball. It could be a tribute to baseball which is very popular in Japan.



The weapon which pack the most firepower among the Guyvers are the megasmasher which is located in the chest cavity of the Guyver. This weapon is usually concealed/protected by the chest plate.



The last thing that most Zoanoid will see is the Guyver opening the chest plate to reveal the megasmasher before they are blast into oblivion.



This release comes with an extra head that depict Sho pulling off a piece of the head armor to show his face. Who does not like extra content?

The Bio Fighter Collection is the best action figure money can buy out there. I kind of regrets that i did not buy any of those figures early and now i have to pay close to premium for them. It is still money well spend because Max Factory will most likely not going to re-release any of those.
