The Max Factory Guyver Bio Fighter Collection BFC 03 Murakami Proto Zoaloard is a simple yet beautiful piece of art.

The packaging is the same as previous figures in this line and I just love the print outs on the front and back of the package. It evokes a sense of pride in ones work and just looking at the packaging tells you immediately that this is a high end Japanese Toy Line.

The Murakami Figure:

Murakami is relatively less articulated compared to other Guyvers in this line, but it more then makes up for it with the attention to details and particularly in capturing the spirt of this character. Just look at the close up of Murakami's face.

Just look at that. I love the colour scheme of purple and white. It makes him exhibit an aura of cold elegance, one that befits his status as a Zoalord. Alright he's just a prototype for the badass Guyot but still very powerful as you will see in the animation where he defeated 3 Enzymes who beat the shit out of Guyver III and how he was able to injure Guyot seriously later on.

The paint job on the face is perfect and I must applaud Maxfactory for the great quality control they have. Considering how small some of the spaces are, its amazing that no bleeding or smudge can be seen. This is essential cause the face is probably where you will be looking at most often of the time and you will defintely feel disappointed if your Murakami loses his king like aura because of a lousy paint job to the face.

If you get your hands on the Maxfactory BFC Murakami and wish to display him, I suggest you put him away from sunlight and keep him in a clear display shelf in an air conditioned room. Simply put, take good care of him because if not, you might find that the white areas on his body are going to turn yellow.

Accessories:

The accessories that come with Murakami pale in comparison to Guyvers but Maxfactory has done a good job in giving him what he needs to strike the poses that you will want him to be in.
Murakami comes with the fist (standard, for punching), the palm (for grabbing, maybe Guyot's Balls?) and the chop(for right hand only). The chop is very useful for posing him executing one of his most powerful and frequently used technique where he essentially sends a sonic boom through the air for cutting through his opponents.

As usual, all figures in this line come with the display stand. Some people like to display all their BFC figures with their display stand, but for me, I prefer to keep it in the box because I have noticed that if displayed in the open the metal part of the stand becomes oxidised and loses its shine. It can be wipe off though but you will not be able to return it to its full glory without putting in some extra effort. That said its your preference, because what good is the stand if you are not going to use it anyway?

The Murakami Figure from Max Factory is a definite Must Have in Your Bio Fighter Collection. With Imarakum coming out in future, prices for Murakami is likely to go up, so get him now if you have a chance.
