I agree…I really want it…I just can’t afford it

My wait for a decent priced 1/6 Guyver continues. No way Id pay that.

For me, it's not a case of not liking it enough to pay a premium price. I adore Guyver and visually, the figure is appealing. Had the quality actually matched that of a $600 figure, I'd have considered buying. It's very apparent that the price is due to them likely paying a lot for the license, having to cast molds that are only for a highly limited amount of figures, adding lights etc. All expenses that were passed on to the customer, but are not reflected in the quality of the figure itself.

Light features often fail in figures after time, so maybe they could have considered painting the illuminated effects on an extra head, rather than adding electronic costs that may not stand the test of time. For this price, I personally would rather have seen a durable diecast figure with an extra human head sculpt and no gimmicky light effects.

I paid $100 for the Figma and it is a gorgeous figure for the price with an additional head sculpt to mix up the appearance. I am happy for those who bought the 1/6 and are pleased with it, but that does not mean I think the price is justifiable.

One Guyver with temperamental light effects is enough for me and cost $40.

I really like Guyver thus I bought one. The sculpt and paint is impeccable.

Mine just got delivered, very cool figure. Looking forward to Guyver 3 now.

I saw it too! I was about to post an image here, but then remembered this is for the 1:6 figure and isn't a general Guyver thread.

Guess we should make one haha, at this rate we could have regular Figma releases.

Anymore pics or reviews out there?

I ordered the smaller Ultimate Guyver in the hope that they do Guyver 2 and 3 in the same scale. There's clearly an audience for them, why don't they do more Guyver stuff? Ultimate Guver sold out everywhere almost straight away and it's impossible to get outside the second hand market now.

It's not what I'm after, but it's a start. The more they keep Guyver in production, the more likely we are to get an in scale Guyver 2 and 3.
