Guyver Action Figure
From old manga Bio-Booster Armor Guyver or Guyver (強殖装甲ガイバー, Kyōshoku Sōkō Gaibā?), this is Bio-Booster Armor Guyver Action Figure . Guyver a long-running manga series written by Yoshiki Takaya. The Guyver itself is a symbiotic techno-organic (or biomechanical) device that enhances the capabilities of its host. The manga was originally serialized in Tokuma Shoten’s “Shōnen Captain” magazine beginning in 1985. When Shōnen Captain was discontinued in 1997, the manga was picked up by Kadokawa Shoten who subsequently re-released all of the previous graphic novels originally published by Tokuma. The manga is currently serialized in Kadokawa’s monthly Shōnen Ace magazine. It has been licensed by Viz Media, Star Comics, and Chuang Yi Publishing.

Guyver has been adapted into a 12-episode anime series (based roughly on the first four volumes), an animated feature film titled “Out of Control”, two live action movies (The Guyver and Guyver 2: Dark Hero), and a 2005 26-episode anime series based on the first 59 chapters (volumes 1-10).

In a 2007 broadcast of Late Night with David Letterman, Letterman featured a joke about ADV’s Costumed “Guyver Guy” (aka EvilFX) stating the Guyver’s Megasmasher as being “the same pace-maker as Cheney.”
