Figma #120 Guts Black Swordsman Version

After surviving the Eclipse, both Casca and Guts found themselves in the care of a blacksmith called Godo. Godo and his adopted daughter Erica, nurse them back to full health and later equipped Guts for the new challenges ahead of him.

Due to Gut's proficiency with great sword, he does not have any issue using it to it's full potential.

Besides using the great sword to slay his enemies, Guts also utilize the cannon which is hidden in his prosthetic left arm.

The cannon packed enough punch to kill even Apostles.

This is another great release for the Berserk Figma line. This figure has great articulation and the joints can cope with the extra weight of the great sword without much issue. The finishing was gritty which suit this figure very well. My only complaint regarding this figure was the cape. It is made of some low quality fabric which will deteriorate over time. That aside, Max Factory should also consider reissue this figure because it has become quite rare even in the secondary market and collectors will need to pay a large sum just to secure it. All in all, this version of Guts was very well sculpted and every fans of the series should get one while it is still available.
