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.

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...

Toy Review: Dawn of Justice Hot Toys Gal Gadot Wonder Woman 1/6th Scale Movie Masterpiece Figure

The Hot Toys Wonder Woman Figure looks very impressive indeed. Gal Gadot really carried the Wonder Woman character very well and I'm really excited that she has been given the Hot Toys treatment. This movie accurate Hot Toys Wonder Woman Figure is crafted with likeness to actress Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman in the movie Dawn of Justice. I love that the hair on the figure is using real fabric hair instead of sculpted hair and it looks very natural on the figure. The  Hot Toys Wonder Woman Figure  also comes with very detailed sculpting with her signature tiara, battle armor and weapons. It also comes with a Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice themed figure stand. There are no obvious ugly joints on the figure and it is sure to look very good on display. Even though the sculpt on Hot Toys figures have always been of high quality, I do hope that the final product will be further improved. Looking at all these close ups of the  Hot Toys Wonder W...

Bandai Tamashii Nations - SH Figuarts DBZ Majin Buu Figure Review

Introduction - SH Figuarts Majin Buu Figure Review   "Buu turn you into candy and eat you!"  The Majin Buu is the final villain in the Dragon Ball Z Manga. Honestly, I did not like the Dragon Ball Z Majin Buu Saga when I read the manga as a kid. I felt that the author should have ended the manga after the Cell Arc. All the different forms of the Majin Buu such as Kid Buu, Super Buu (Evil Buu) , Innocent Buu (Fat Buu or Zen Buu) as well as the other intermediate forms as Buu absorbed other characters really got me thinking that the author was   running out of ideas. Nevertheless, the character design is pretty unique and the SH Figuarts Majin Buu (Fat Buu or Zen version) captured this very well.  Packaging I knew that the SH Figuarts Majin Buu was going to be a big figure but when I received the actual figure, I was pleasantly surprised that it was HUGE . The box itself is much larger than the SH Figuarts DBZ Nappa figure. ...
