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.

Toy Review: Bandai Tamashii Nations S.H. Figuarts Piccolo Dragonball Z Action Figure

The S.H Figuarts Piccolo figure is a fantastic figure at a fantastic price. First released in Novemeber 2009, this figure had a recommended retail price of USD$45. Surprisingly, this beautiful  S.H Figuarts Piccolo figure   and can still be found on  Amazon.com   at a very reasonably $35 dollars at the point of writing. Looking closely at the  S.H Figuarts Piccolo figure , you can tell that Bandai did a fantastic job and they really captured the feel of Piccolo very well. The figure itself stands at around 170mm and comes with many accessories that you can mix and match, making it a very fun figure to have. He comes with interchangeable hands, face and his iconic costume with turban and cape.  Also, I think Piccolo looks very nice with folded arms which is also included. The  S.H Figuarts Piccolo figure   is very articulated and the joints are smooth, making posing easy.  A small regret is that the  S.H Fig...

Zoaloard Gyuot/Guyot Action Figure with Unito Remover - Max Factory Guyver Bio Fighter Collection 07 Review

Written by Jax. Pics Courtesy of Donnay The packaging for the Zoalord Gyout has been changed and replaced with what you see here. A blue paper box with the plastic casing housed inside.. I personally do not like the packaging because it apppears more low end and it breaks the continuity from the previous  Guyver Figures . But as soon as I opened the box and held the Gyuot figure in my hands, I fell in love with him immediately. The eyes are painted with orange reflective paint so that it glows under certain lighting. The Zoa Crystal and the gravitation orbs are made of a certain translucent material that seems to glow even though you know that they are not really glowing. I was elated to see that Gyuot had tons of accessories. The  Zoalord Gyout  comes with chest armour plates which you can attach on by removing Gyuot's head and wearing it over his shoulders. He also comes with armour for the shoulders, wrists, knees and legs. It gives him a really majestic lo...

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. ...
