Figma #SP-046 Guts Berserker Armour Version

The duel with Grunbeld proved too much for the battle-exhausted Guts until he was equipped with the Berserker armour.

The helmet resembled the hell hound which was the negative aspect of Guts.

A comparison between 2 version of the Dragonslayer. The one on the left belongs to the Black Swordsman while the one on the right belongs to the Berserker. They were similar in form but different in finishing.

It never ends well when Guts go berserk. At least for his enemies that is.

The Berserker will attack with reckless abandon.

In this form, Guts movement was similar to those of a beast.

Schierke was included with this figure in her spiritual form. She was one of a few characters which can help Guts regain his senses.

What in the world...
This figure was a limited edition product which came with a volume of the Berserk manga. As I have expected nothing less from Figma, the articulation was pretty good. All the joints on the figure can be moved to a wide range of angle enabling all sorts of pose for the figure. The finishing and sculpt were great too. The armour and facial expression for both Guts and Schierke was very close to the source material. The only issue I have with this figure was the price tag. I was a late comer to the Berserk series so by the time I was looking for this figure, the price have inflated for quite a bit in the secondary market. That aside, I think that this figure was a good buy and worth every penny i spent on it. Go grab one if you were a fan of the series before the secondary market droves the price tag even higher.
