TAMASHII NATIONS - Berserk - Guts (Berserker Armor) S.H.Figuarts Action Figure

The figure is super detailed and well made, love the look. However, it is EXTREMELY fragile, would not recommend as an action figure or being used for stop motion. For me, I just want to have it posed and stay on my desk, so it’s perfect for me. Hands are a little hassle but overall not a big deal.

I own both Figma berserk guts figures. The black swordsman and the Beserker armor. They’re also terrible figures. I was hoping this would be better with ShF’s track record and I will say they improved on some aspects but others it literally is worse in.For starters the wrist peg is so small that the hand comes off so easily and boy it doesn’t help with a big sword that is as half the weight of the figure. The plastic is way to brittle and feels like you’d break it comparing it to the Figma one where they chose to use softer plastic that’s like rubber so the issue of breaking won’t happen. The joints in the legs are so loose that it’s like playing a balance game for just simple poses. I’ve done many complex poses, this figure feels like a nightmare just to get basic poses with dragon slayer in hand. The figure is over engineered and it’s for the worst since it doesn’t help the figure at all. They need some soft plastic to make the plastic not so brittle and making it feel fragile. The other part is the cape is honestly pretty bad. The Figma is literally a dryer sheet that’s black put onto the back of Guts but they made it so stiff it’s like sand paper. This cape is basically a dryer sheet if it was wet then dried, but wait there’s a wire inside. Which is cool but the wire doesn’t go fully around the cape. One side is far longer than the other.The only few positives I can say is the detail is nice, they got dragon slayer’s size right compared to figma’s berserker armor guts and….. no that’s about it.Overall it looks nice but with this detail I can get McFarlane figures for the same amount in detail. And it isn’t $100. I only will say get this figure if you love berserk and I mean really love Beserk. Or wait til it’s $30 minimum. This figure isn’t worth $40, isn’t worth $50. $35 is the max because detail. Other than that this figure is a solid 2/10 figure.

The figure is perfect, good details. Every Berserk fan should have this one

Visually the figure is there, but the second I took guts out of the packaging his satchel broke off immediately.

This is a 0/10 action figure, but 10/10 display figure. Posing is difficult and the hands come off easy and are hard to keep on. That said, all it takes is a gentle touch and some patience.After you get the hang of it, easily 5 stars.

It's very fragile, looks good but the hands come off easily

The figure is cool, but the quality control is subpar at best. The extra hand pieces aren't dug out enough to fit on the joint stub and the hand pieces that came installed on the figure are dug out too much to the point one fell off when I first removed the figure from the packaging. It comes with a behelit and a knife, but nowhere to keep them. There are several flimsy parts and the bowgun handle broke as I was attempting to pose the figure.

I'm in the minority to say I really like this figure, and he's probably one of my favorites in my collection. Are there QC issues with the figure, absolutely. I had to break down the figure completely to oil and tighten areas, but upon doing so I got an understanding of the engineering and what the team were going for.The splay of accessories is perfect for a Guts figure. Articulation is where this figure thrives. Durability on the other hand, this figure is fragile, and it shouldn't be the case for the price.
