Max Factory Bio Fighter Collection #1 Guyver 3

Agito Makishima or Guyver 3 is a third-year student who attend the same high school as Sho. Without the knowledge of his friends, he is working with Kronos Japan Branch under the tutelage of his adoptive father, Genzo Makishima. No one knows his real agenda since he always kept it to himself. In the first arc of the series, he manipulate Sho into helping him in the destruction of Kronos Japan Branch.

Even though he may have activated his Unit before Oswald A. Lisker, the second Guyver, he did not openly appear in his Guyver armor until after Lisker was eliminated and thus he was dubbed "Guyver 3". Agito remains to be a thorn in the flesh for Kronos throughout the series.

Guyver 3 takes up a dark colour scheme which represent the enigmatic side of Akito. The first thing that I realize in this figure is the different joint design compare to the rest of the Guyvers. Guyver 3 has this large seamline that runs across the limb which can quite an eyesore. Max Factory has done a great job eliminating this issue in the subsequent release of the other Guyvers.

Guyver 3 comes in not 1 but 2 high frequency blade on each arm. Its kind of an overkill but it looks great on it. This is actually the first release figure which came with transparent blades. These blades were made from a transparent material which glow in the dark (luminescent). The reissue which was release later came with dark blades. I wonder why Max Factory does not follow this trend with the other 2 Guyvers.

The Guyver can conjure gravity energy using the Gravity Orb and fire it as a Gravity Cannon with devastating effect.

When all else fail. The Guyver has a final trump card. The megasmasher which is capable of incinerating any Zoanoid who stands in the blast zone.

I was surprised to receive this first release figure instead of the reissue figure. I can most probably sell this figure on a higher price and make some profit out of it but I guess I will most likely just keep it to myself. =P
