In the chest of the Guyver unit are two particle beam weapons called Mega smashers that can level a mountain, it's the suits ultimate attack, the alternate torso pose is showing he's just unleashed a blast from one side or is threatening to.

He also calls his suit from another dimension.

Here's a great hi-def video of the P1 booth from the japan expo in France, you can really get a sense of how big Guyver is.

That seam on the neck of Ramotith looks bad though, the guy points it out in the vid, hope it's not that obvious not on the production piece.

Honestly this is the best news regarding this franchise in over a decade. Hopefully this is the reason why there hasn't been a new chapter in over a year.

Good stuff man!

What concerned me on G1 was the meat/muscle parts being a bright purple, i really hope they tone that down a bit.

And yeah the neck seam on Ramotith isnt great but i'm sure that's just because its a proto.

Otherwise it looks fantastic, as do Suguru and Robin.

P1 getting all my money recently i hope they don't let me down, I'll find out with Ultraman hopefully by the end of the year.

I havnt read a lot of the manga so I can't really speak to that version very well.

Here is the 1st episode from the 1989 series.

I just wanted to report back that I watched the first episode yesterday and enjoyed it! Admittedly some of that enjoyment came from listening to the horrible dub, which prompted my wife to give me some weird looks while I was watching it.

Guyver 1 is probably the next P1 piece I will preorder if I decide to make another order - a Sideshow coupon like the recent $50 one might make me cave. I'll probably wait until after SDCC and WF though, just to see where things stand after the new reveals. It'd be sweet having him with Guyver 3 though... that one looks particularly awesome.

EDIT: I just watched episodes 2 and 3, and I couldn't stop laughing when Guyot (I think) spoke! Amusingly I think he becomes the one character that I have a Max Factory figure of - I picked it up for cheap when visiting HK like a decade ago just because I thought it looked awesome. I don't know if he's popular at all, but a P1 statue of him would probably be amazing.

In the new 2005 version there is a lot more of Guyot, the dubbing is much better as well.


Here is a scene with the original Japanese voice overs and English subs, it makes a hell of a difference - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U476nTogoj8&t=335s

Here's another vid from the expo, some nice close ups of all the pieces.
