I never really watched Guyver but always liked the design. I'm considering this.

AmiAmi currently has it for $81.40 USD, so even with shipping this will probably be cheaper than most other options:

Also:

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, any action figure that shows you its tits gets bonus points.

While the Mondo news sucks major rear end, this was obviously coming as soon as the announcement of the sale was made.

The Sisters are cool although the Imagifier can’t really hold her statue (it’s heavier than she is which means it’s super top-heavy) and switching out their hands suuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks.

Yeah, once I get a final display spot for them the Imagifier is definitely getting some museum putty to hold the bottom of the staff in place. Also, yeah you can't understate how bad the hand swapping sucks.

As long as there's a chase variant that's Greg on a toilet with his mic on, and a horrified student at his desk looking around. It'd make a hell of a bookend set at least.

It's the same with the Space Marine Ancient, he sucks at holding the banner. The line is great except for people holding banners

I have never been one for dioramas. But If they did that I would buy them, and five Taskmaster contestant chairs, and build a little Taskmaster studio set on my shelf.

It sucks because I’ve painted the Imagifier miniature and it’s one of my favorite minis I’ve painted, so I was really looking forward to the figure.

Glad I found em. Oddly angry I haven't seen anyone say "they'd beat him black and blue but whoops, too late" in the comics.

Love the dynamic cape. The hands being only glowy at the fingers with no addon glowing effects is kinda lame though.

I always wondered about the motivation that pretty boy? or whatever his name is had for joining the reavers. Like, they literally cut off his head, tossed the body and put him on a big robot body. He was that racist against mutants that he was willing to just discard everything and go kill em?

Plus I never understood why he didn't wear a helmet. His literal only squishy bits are just up and out for everyone to swing at and attack. It's like wearing an iron man suit and just leaving your crotch exposed and hoping no one kicks you in the dick.

I honestly wonder how much of him is even human anymore; he can shoot mind control wires out of his eyes so those at the very least are cybernetic, plus probably some other parts of his head, and more recent designs feature him with skin arms well after he has the robot skeleton look so he may be a full Terminator body with artificial skin over his skull.

And when you stare long into the abyss, you become aggressively, terminally chill

The joe/cobra design dichotomy seems weighted to cobra, imo.

Cobra: bdsm leatherdaddy dentist-cum-mad scientist, a genetically engineered snake man possessing the DNA of famous tyrants/conquerors, a man whose face is encased in a silver mask

GI Joe: army fatigues

It was probably always like this but it seems especially evident to me as an adult

There were originally a bunch that the X-Men beat up and shoved through the Siege Perilous (where people are forcibly magically reprogrammed into becoming other people, so ethically weird there) and only Pretty Boy, Bonebreaker, and Skullbuster escape. Then Donald Pierce reforms them into the most recognizable roster by adding Lady Deathstrike and those three Hellfire Guards that Wolverine sliced and diced.

They’ve also been selecting the most military looking guys thus far. Once you’ve got Shipwreck, Blowtorch, Alpine, Sci-Fi, etc the Joe roster will get some more personality.
