I've never really been into Guyver. Not sure why not. I think it's because the series is a bit too organic for me. Guyver is all about his bio-mechanical suit and he fights these weird-looking monster guys. Dunno. I guess there's not enough mecha involved.
However, I've been noticing that Max Factory has been putting out some very nice action figures of the series. They are highly detailed, articulated and with unbelievable paint jobs. They are expensive as well-in the range of $60-$75 each. Not for your eight-year old to play with in the bathtub. I prefer to think of these very expensive action figures as "mini works of art". That helps me in my own little mind justify paying almost a C-note on a damn toy.
Max Factory has really out done itself on the the Bio Fighter series. They are larger than your other action figures standing 10" tall and are more expensive than your other action figures as a result. The highly detailed sculpting, articulation, accessories and paint job is what you're really paying for.
I have my eye on the spikey black Guyver Gigantic figure above left which is going to be released in December. Buy it from Action-HQ and get $15 off! Just click on one of the banners in the right panel so I can get some cheddar, yo.
