Good Smile Company Gives Fans First Look at Its New Berserk Character
Based on the character’s traditional design as the Black Swordsman, the new Berserk Guts figure from Good Smile Company and Pop Up Parade is both imposing and imposing. With a plastic cape and a weapon magazine, the manga and anime anti-hero is perfectly rendered. With a scowl and closed eyes, he’s an exact replica of the drawn version, just in printed plastic form. Part of the company’s “L” line of collectibles, this piece stands 8.66 inches tall, making it the perfect way to turn a shelf or desk into a fearsome battlefield.
The figure retails for $57.99 and up, depending on the specific store. Pre-orders are currently open until the end of August. Unfortunately, fans will have to wait a little longer to get their hands on it, as the statue-like figure won't ship until Q2 2025. Despite not being articulated, this version of the legendary Guts is definitely worthy of being in any Berserk fan's collection, where it will likely join similar figures, including an action figure of Guts in his “beastly” armor.
