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...

Guyver Figure- Guyver III Max Factory Bio Fighter Collection 01 Review

Written By Jax. Pics Courtesy of Donnay The Guyver Figures from the Max Factory Bio Fighter Collection are one of the coolest toy figures I have ever came across. The Guyver III Bio Fighter Collection Series 01 (Max Factory) is the first figure of this series. Lets review it point by point: Packaging: I personally love the packaging for this series. The outer layer is a transparent box which offers protection for the second layer. The second layer is the packaging which houses the plastic covers that sandwiches the Guyver III within it. It really looks good on display with all the printouts of the images of the toy itself, as well as display of the arsenal of interchangable arms and blades(more on this later). What is best is that you do not need to make any cuts or tears to the box in order to get the toy out. This means that if at any point you do not want to display the Guyver III figure any more, you can just pack it back in to the box just l...

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 t...
