ZX Tole Action Figure- Max Factory Guyver Bio Fighter Collection 06 Review

Written by Jax. Pics Courtesy of Donnay

ZX-Tole is the leader of the Hyper Zoanoids Team Five. Articulation wise this figure cannot be compared with the Guyvers because of his thick thighs and bulky upper body which restricts some movement. However it is makes up for lesser articulation with other interesting additions.

The two covers at the back of the ZX-Tole figure can be lifted up and this will reveal two holes where the wings can be attached. The wings are exactly the same for Aptom, Zx Tole and Neo Zx Tole. It would be great if Max Factory had crafted different wings for each figure, but considering the details and effort that went into the other parts of the toys, I guess I can make do with the wings.

ZX-Tole has quite a wide range of weapons. The center horn on his head is moveable and can be folded back to reveal the head beam cannon. The yellow covers on his thighs and wrist can be lifted up to reveak the thigh and arm beam cannons.

The most interesting feature is the beam cannon at the stomach area. There is a mechanism at the back of the ZX-Tole Figure so by depressing it you can flip open and close the 3 flaps that cover the cannon. Not bad.

ZX-Tole is the only one of the Hyper Zoanoids Team 5 that has been produced by Max Factory. The other figures are in the Bio Fighter War Collection and have only less then 4 points of articulation. But they still look reasonably good when placed together.

If you are a completist then ZX-Tolee is a must have, though many collectors choose to forgo him and purchase just Neo Zx Tole instead. To me, Zx Tole and Neo Zx Tole are distinct individuals each with a different story to tell so there was no way I could convince myself to let one substitute for the other.

Yes, these Guyver figures from the Bio Fighter Collection are expensive. So my strategy is to be focused on fewer toy lines but try to complete all of them. Given the high quality and poseability, the price is definitely worth it.

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 o...

Gigantic Guyver Action Figure- Max Factory Guyver Bio Fighter Collection 10 Review

Written By Jax. Pics Courtesy of Donnay Packaging for Maxfactory Bio Fighter Collection 10 Gigantic Guyver Figure is the same as that of the previous Gigantic Dark Guyver Figure . There are openings on the side of the package so that you can see the accessories more clearly. I guess the only reason for doing that is to tempt collectors more : ) Despite his size, the Gigantic Guyver is super articulated. Joints at the elbows allow for bending more then 90 degrees. The green gravitational boosters on the body are translucent and looks as if they are pulsating with energy. Once again, Max Factory has impressed me with the details on the Gigantic Guyver's face. No paint bleeding of any sort can be seen. All the details on the face are captured. The head can not only tilt downwards as in previous figures. Gigantic Dark Guyver and Gigantic Guyver can both tilt their heads upwards by around 45 degrees, opening up new possibi...

Toy Review: S.H Figuarts Tien Shinhan with Chao Tzu Dragonball Z Action Figure - Bandai Tamashii Nations

Tien Shinhan is one of the strongest Earthlings in the Dragon Ball Z series and an interesting character to allow us to take a break from Saiyans and Super Saiyans. The S.H. Figuarts Tien Shinhan Action Figure captures this look very well but I sort of hope that he should have some clothing or accessory for us to convert his attire to a one shoulder tank top as seen in the Android Sage versus the bare upper body we see here. One shoulder tank top attire and preparing the Neo Tri Beam attack to stop Cell Version 2 from getting to Android 18. The S.H. Figuarts Tien Shinhan Action Figure depicts Tien Shin Han during the Vegeta Saga and hence the move that he is pulling off here is the Tri Beam and not the Neo Tri Beam. This move is always done with Tien hovering over his enemy and firing from the top down. Sadly, this figure does not come with the display stand so you will have to purchase an extra one if you wish to pose him hovering in ...
