Aptom Ver IV Action Figure- Max Factory Guyver Bio Fighter Collection 02 Review

Written by Jax. Pics Courtesy of Donnay

In my opinion, the Aptom Figure from Max Factory Bio Fighter Collection Toy series is one of the most underrated figures in this series.

Packaging is the same as the previous release of Guyver III, therefore, no cuts or tears are needed to the box to get the Aptom Figure out. The Aptom figure comes with interchangeable fists, palm and hold (right side only). It also comes with wings, three head parts (normal, beam and missile), bio missles for both shoulders and wrists.
One thing to note though is that there is a slight difference between the wings shown in the stock photos and the actual Aptom figure.The wings in the stock photos look like they are white, with black lines highlighting the veins on the wings but the actual product looks like the one below, yellow wings. I think that the ones in the stock pictures look better and more realistic, but it's not a big enough difference to irritate me.
Posing the Aptom figure with the wings will require the support of the display stand. The wings are quite heavy compared to the Aptom figure and without the stand the Aptom figure tends to fall back wards. That said, it is still possible to pose the Aptom figure without the stand as long as you try to lean it forward a bit and squat him a little lower to counter the weight of the wings.

Three interchangeable head parts are available and the one shown below is that of the head beam. The bio missile one looks a bit comical IMO, with four missiles seemingly sticking out from the forehead, so I usually pose it with the head beam.

Shoulder pads on the Aptom figure can be removed and fitted with Bio Missles. The white covers at the wrist area can be lifted to insert missiles too.
What I especially like about the Aptom figure is the tentacles. The tentacles can be shaped slightly so it doesn't just hang any way it likes. You can twirl it and shape it so that it looks more natural and stylish.

Aptom is one of the main characters in the anime and began as an enemy for the Guyvers but eventually became one of the Guyver's allies. He obtained his powers by absorbing the powers of 4 out of 5 of the Hyper Zoanioads Team Five.


Zx tole for his head beam, wings and over all insect-like look. Elegen for the tentacles which can electrocute his enemies, Gaster for his Bio Missiles, Darzerb for his strength and fire resistance. The only Hyper Zoanoid that did not contribute to Aptom's powers was Thancrus with high frequency blades. But that was because Thancrus was killed by Guyver III.

Gigantic Dark Guyver III Action Figure- Max Factory Guyver Bio Fighter Collection 09 Review

Written by Jax Pics Courtesy of Donnay The packaging for the  Gigantic Dark Guyver  is as shown. Box art looks great, and all the accessories can be seen through the clear display window. The   Gigantic Dark Guyver   comes with GigaSmasher changeable part, Gravity ram (long and short), Two interchangeable heads, one with sonic orbs closed and one open, three high frequency swords for each arm, interchangeable wrist parts (fist, grab, and hold), and an improved display stand (more on this) After spending about 10 mins untying all the wiring binding the Gigantic Dark Figure, he is finally released from his plastic prison and ready for action! But first let me point out a personal experience I had with the Gigantic Dark Guyver's High Frequency Blades. Everyone should take note of this. The three blades on the arm work this way. The longest and second longest blades have holes on the ends of the blades it self. On the arms there are corresponding pegs where you can fit

Toy Review: Max Factory Figma Guyver I Figure vs Maxfactory Bio Fighter Collection Guyver I Figure

I have been a collector of the Maxfactory Bio Fighter Collection Guyver figures for many years now and it was only recently that the Figma Guyver I  came to my attention. Even though I have seen pictures of the Figma Guyver I figure for a while, I had always thought that it was just a scaled down version of the previous Bio Fighter Collection Guyver I figure. It turns out that I was wrong and there are many differences between the old and new Guyver figure and the  Figma Guyver I   could be a good start to a promising toy line. In terms of scale, the Figma Guyver I figure is smaller than the BFC Guyver I figure but the differences do not stop here. Articulation and paint job wise, the Figma version is fantastic and even more articulated than the BFC version. For example, the Figma Guyver I can actually perform a high kick and a split which the BFC Guyver I is not able to, due to the very hard rubber located near the waist. Also, you can switch out the chest p

Jax Woon's Collection - Rare Guyver Figures 100% Complete Collection in Glass Display Cabinet

I just moved to my new house and finally got a proper toy display cabinet for my toy collection. The centre-piece of my collection is of course the Guyver anime figures from the Maxfactory Bio Fighter Collection Series. I have had many friends coming over to my place and commenting that these Guyver Figures look very nice but they had no idea who these characters were. If you do not already know them and are a fan of anime, I highly recommend that you purchase the Guyver Anime: Complete Box Set [Blu-ray] from Amazon.com to get to know them. It is just 26 episodes so it will not take up a lot of your time to start a new anime series. I consider myself lucky to have been able to complete the collection way before the prices sky rocketed in the secondary market. Just doing a quick search on Ebay and you will find that the average listed price for the Guyver Figures is about USD$200 to USD$400 per figure meaning the prices have more than tripled from the time of relea
