Neo Zx Tole Action Figure- Max Factory Bio Fighter Collection 08 Review

Written by Jax. Pictures Courtesy of Donnay

Packaging in this installment of the Max Factory Bio Fighter Collection Neo ZX-Tole is the same as the previous one of Gyout. Neo ZX-Tole has been converted from a Hyper Zoanoid into a Lost Number. He gave up his status as a Hyper Zoanoid just so that he can be reprocessed to encompass all of the Hyper Zoanoid Team 5's abilities in order to seek revenge on Aptom. It also means he has only 1 day to live and he intends to take down Aptom and the Guyvers before he dies.


The glossy shiny look on the body is not a result of photoshop. They do really reflect light so well.Bio Missiles on the shoulders.Can be installed by removing the shoulder pads and replacing with the Bio Missiles shoulder attachments. Pops on and off similar to those on the Aptom Figure.

Centre horn can be folded backwards to reveal the Head Beam Cannon.The two horns on the head allows slight opening and closing motion.This is necessary so that they do not get in the way of the shoulder Bio Missiles.Flaps on the arms and on the thighs can be opened to reveal the arms and legs beam cannons. Similar to Zx-Tole, the mechanism for toggling the stomach beam cannon open and closed is retained in the Neo Zx Tole Figure.

Wings are also included and are similar in design to that of Aptom and Zx-Tole. The mechanism for putting them on are the same as Zx Tole.


A new addition for the Neo ZX-Tole is the high frequency swords. Aptom does not have this ability because this came from Thancrus, who was killed by Guyver III before Aptom could have a chance of absorbing him.


I personally prefer the Neo ZX-Tole figure more then Zx Tole. I think the design of the horns on the head played a big part. With this design, the massive head sorts of balances out the bulk of the body and Neo Zx Tole looks big strong and powerful, while Zx-Tole looked abit clumsy with a big body and small skinny horns on the head.
                                      
He is quite a tragic character in the anime. Check out the final battle between Neo ZX-Tole and the Gigantic Guyver . Beware of spoilers though.

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...

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...

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. ...
