Prime 1 Studio -Berserk

[StatueDiva]

Having only seen the 97 anime, this character looks really out of place compared to the Golden Age Arc's characters. I've seen a few videos about Berserk and it seems the art direction went a little cartoonish/less dark later on?

How do you guys rank the characters of the series in importance? Seems like this guy isn't a big part?

1. Guts/Griffith
2. Casca
3....

Golden Age

1. Guts = Griffith
2. Casca
3. Core Band of Falcon Members (Rickert, Judeau, Corkus, Pippin)
4. Zodd
5. Wylad
6. Everything else

Post Eclipse

1. Guts = Griffith
2. Casca
3. God Hand (Void, Slan, Ubik, Conrad, Femto)
4. Guts' Party (Schierke, Farnese, Serpico, Puck, Ivalera, Magnifico, Roderick, Isidro, Isma, Azan)
5. Core Reborn Band of Falcon Members (Sonia, Grunbeld, Zodd, Locus, Raksas, Irvine)

It's kind of hard to rank them like that so... basically Guts, Griffith, and Casca are your top 3 main characters. The God Hand by default are also important characters because they are the main antagonists. I'm not ranking Skull Knight, but judging from his implied background he is definitely a major character in the grand scheme of things.

Everyone else ranges from major to minor supporting characters. For example, Schierke is a major supporting character for Guts and the entire party. The other characters in the party drop in terms of importance after Farnese and Serpico.

Isidro....some fans hate him, some fans like him. If you were to cut him out the story I don't think you would lose much, but I would miss the comedic effect he's brought forward and he could have potential to be more important later on.

Is he important enough to drop $649 (Reg) or $699 (EX) on? You decide, I got to really think about this one, I like him but I don't consider him as important as Schierke, Farnese, and Serpico. This is really a character for a die-hard and completionist as it stands. Maybe Isidro will do something really cool in the future, or maybe he'll continue to be Isidro.

[supermetroid]

^Yeah, thanks for the info. I guess even big Berserk fans are surprised they went with this character and think he's overpriced. I really like P1's ambition of going deep into lines but wonder if it could backfire too with the over saturated state the market is in.

It's all a risk, but a commendable risk in my opinion. I probably will get this because it's still a really nice piece, but it's exactly $100 more than what I expected to pay for it.

I think now is the best time and probably the only time to do these characters. The factory costs aren't dropping and it's only going to make projects like this less and less possible over time. As long as the fans of the IP are there, then they will be fine...

But I can only think people are saving their money for Casca and Skull Knight at this point. The line is almost done in terms of prototypes.

[Jesse Custer]

I'm definitely surprised, both about the character choice and the price. It's not that I don't like they are doing Isidro, it's just that there are more important characters than him to spend so much money.

I mostly agree about the ranking above, but I would rank Schierke higher than the other party members. Post eclipse she is only after Guts and Griffith if you consider her importance and "screen time" in my opinion. I would rank her in the third place tied with Casca.

Also I'm really looking forward to see Casca and I hope she is a sucess. After Prime 1 revealed their 1/3 Guts, I'm expecting a few more characters to follow, and I hope she is one of them.

[Jesse Custer]

Double post.

[Gyro Zeppeli]

Everyone in Guts' party in the second half of the manga are extremely important for his overall character development, and the mood of the franchise.

[StatueDiva]

Everyone in Guts' party in the second half of the manga are extremely important for his overall character development, and the mood of the franchise.

I agree with that, just breaking down most important to least important (but still contributes to the story and characters).

Isidro himself seems split in terms of the fanbase. Like said before, some people love him, others don't.

Here's what Miura had to say about Isidro in the guidebook interview.


- What about Isidoro, then? Isidoro is sort of modeled after a child of an assistant who worked with me at the time. He wasn't as brave as Isidoro, but he was ambitious. "What do I do to become like you, Miura-sensei? Tell me the easy way" - he was a kid who'd actually ask such questions (laughs). "I want to go big. But, I want it to be easy too". He was putting spirit into that line, like Kaneda from Akira (by Ootomo Katsuhiro), the "healthy bad youngun". The setting of Berserk is all dark, so I like him as the standard of a boy boldly going through that world.

- Even though that world is what it is, Isidoro makes a wholesome impression. The characters in Berserk have both good sides, bad sides, and their circumstances. I'm drawing while thinking of that foremost. Vague goals like "For justice!" are something that only characters like Mozgus could call their own (laughs). Even when you're pursuing profit, if your goals are the same, people cooperate. If you hang around for long, you become nicer to each other... It's a natural balance. Precisely because Berserk is set in an other world, I want you to sympathise with the characters, like "For humans, this is normal".

- If I were to add anything to that: Isidoro has a side like "a child of the Shouwa era" to him, in my mind. When I was a kid, there were a lot of children full of energy, like "I want, I want". [PAGE 9] They show off their character and secure their own place to be - an image like this. Children of the Heisei era are all kind and make an impression of minding their balance with the surroundings. I wonder what they think when looking at Isidoro? They probably can't relate (laughs).

- With the introduction of magic, Schierke joined the story. Schierke had to appear because Isidoro happened, in a way. They form "the second generation", like Lin and Bat in Hokuto no Ken. The natural outcome would be for her to pair up with Isidoro, right? Schierke admires Guts, but right next to this girl being impressed by an adult man, a hardworking boy is maturing... That is the right state of things (laughs).

So I wouldn't say he's flat out useless, it's hard for me to not have any attachment to him for what he has brought to the story. I do think he has great potential and what Miura stated does seem to allude to the future of where he wants to take both Isidro and Schierke.

To outsiders (and some fans), Isidro looks like a silly little kid. There's much more than what we see on the surface though.

I'm definitely surprised, both about the character choice and the price. It's not that I don't like they are doing Isidro, it's just that there are more important characters than him to spend so much money.

I mostly agree about the ranking above, but I would rank Schierke higher than the other party members. Post eclipse she is only after Guts and Griffith if you consider her importance and "screen time" in my opinion. I would rank her in the third place tied with Casca.

Also I'm really looking forward to see Casca and I hope she is a sucess. After Prime 1 revealed their 1/3 Guts, I'm expecting a few more characters to follow, and I hope she is one of them.

Ah I messed up my wording, Schierke is definitely a really major player now.

1. Guts/Griffith

3....

Not at all out of place, he's just a different character than what Golden Age usually showcases. Isidro is a little troublemaker who dreams of being a great swordsman. In Golden Age, almost all of the characters are hardened knights/mercenaries or aristocrats, while Isidro is just a runaway thief. The best thing on him is that coat (which he 100% stole). But yeah, currently he's not very high ranked in terms of importance.

SPOILERS

As for the art style, yes the faces are a bit more moe but the reason there's more lighthearted imagery and style is due to where Berserk is currently storywise. It is at a time of peace and progressiveness with Guts and his party traveling to a literal fairytale land and Griffith bringing about a new age of fantasy and prosperity in his new utopia.

From P1, Zodd is waiting on final packaging and is shipping out in a few weeks! Super pumped!

I think for Sideshow we will see him in October which is right on time.

[BurningRage]

That’ll be $100 shipping like Guts if it’s in two boxes.

[BurningRage]

Isidro up at Sideshow

Isidro up at Sideshow

I'm surprised they also have the EX version up. The fact they did this with Isidro but not Griffith or Berserker Guts really ticks me off. Prime1's shipping is absolute aggravation and I already have reward points on Sideshow.

What? Griffith and Berserker Armor EX was on SS but is waitlisted, just the helmet head for griffith was P1Store Exclusive.

[Pompous]

I ordered my Berserker Guts in early June, there were no EX versions of it on Sideshow at all. So unless it was available before that and I just missed out EX Berserker hasn't been on Sideshow. And I know Griffith is on Sideshow but I'm talking about the EX version.

You missed out on it, the EX was waitlisted about a week or so when it went up last year. It went to sold out status so you won't see it in the searches.

Also Griffith EX is waitlisted at Sideshow too if you're just talking about the EX without the website bonus.

Well damn. That sucks. Also I confused Prime1 exclusive with just EX overall, so yeah. Technically I didn't waste my money ordering from Prime1 so that's a relief.

[Vendetta]

Crazy price. Isidro and Schierke should have been opportunities for much cheaper entries in the line - I was hoping for $600 at the most (with $500-550 being perfect).

For $700 I’d rather get a statue from The Witcher.

Yep it's a crazy price tag and Prime 1 need to be called out on it.

For the same price as Isidro you can get Sideshows Iron Man MK III maquette with a massive piece of the Iron Monger on the base. Sideshows Mortighull the huge risen reaper general from the COTD, one of the most detailed statues they have ever made is $100 cheaper than Isidro.

[majestic1]

Here is little Isidro displayed next to Berserker Armor Guts and Regular Guts.

Now here is Guyver 1 which is only $69 dollars more than Isidro pictured next to the 2 Guts pieces.

omg, I knew the photos but thanks for the repost again. Isidro is so small spmpared to the others, definitely not worth 700 USD for me (+and tax + and shipping on top).

[Kevorkian]

isidro statue on sideshow cost the same compared to prime1, i was believing a plus on top like others.
price is way too high anyway

[chavez553]

Wait list not sold out.

Yeah, that’s what I meant.

Waitlist.

I don’t think SS gets very many of these P1 pieces. Selling out so quickly. P1 will still have it in stock.

[supermetroid]

Honestly 500 would still seem overpriced considering his size...I'd just wait this out, I'm sure the discounts will be had unless he has a tiny ES.

[BurningRage]

Those factory pics got them more orders.

[StatueDiva]

Honestly 500 would still seem overpriced considering his size...I'd just wait this out, I'm sure the discounts will be had unless he has a tiny ES.

I'd agree on $600, but $500 is unrealistically low. I think the base on this one drove up the price, as it makes him really big and more complex for the factory.

In hindsight, what they probably should have done is reduce the base to get him down to $500, but no way with the current base and options would he be that price.

Also comparing Guyver 1 to now is understandable, but not a good comparison. Guyver 1 is a fantastic deal (as usual for the beginning of the line), but you won't see anything like that again.

[StatueDiva]

Just saw that XM Shogun Batman on Horse is $1,999 SGD (around $1,450 USD). I would think Skull Knight on Horse would be a good couple hundred more than that.

Makes me think he's not going to be the $3,000 pricing a lot of people have been thinking now seeing XM's piece.

maybe not 3000 USD but definitely over 2000 USD. Both are 1/4 but IMO SK will be more detailled and should also be a bit bigger than Bats. In the end it also depends what the base will look like and how much effort they put in there. I looking forward that the piece will only cost less than 2000$ but I highly doubt it, especially when we see how good the Berserk line is going for P1 (even if not all are sold out). Maybe in the end it will be 1999,99 $ XD.

The base looks like it's from the scene when he (SPOILERS) arrives in Qliphoth to confront Slan .

His horse is rearing up about to stamp on a Troll so that will raise the height significantly, this is of course if they stick with this base as it's been a while since this sneak.

If it somehow was $1,999.99 would more people grab this quickly? Sounds really good compared to Wonder Woman on Horse..

Would be great and I really think so, at least I know a few Berserk Fans who would buy it directly for this price tag. I'm also interested which ES they choose, guess it could be the lowest until now.

I’m already saving for it. I’d also buy Femto but I don’t like the overly simplistic pose, and I unfortunately missed out on Black Swordsman Guts (if Sideshow started selling the Bloody version I’d gladly pre-order).

yeah but guess it stays china exclusive unfortunately. Just wait a certain time, I think most Berserk pieces (if the ES isn't very small) you can get for retail or even less later on, they are just too expensive from the start and the ES isn't small enough to rise in value.

I know I’m late to the party but here it is. EX Guts (EX portrait not displayed). This has been a long awaited statue for me and I almost didn’t get it! Once the EX went back up for order on Prime 1s site I jumped on it. This is my first piece by prime 1 and man am I impressed. I won’t go on and say what’s already been said, you guys already know what a great piece this is! I have some pics of him next to the ThreeZero Guts 1/6 Figure so you can see how massive this thing is. Pictures are phone quality with not the greatest lighting so I apologize in advance, hope you enjoy the pics!

P.S. I included a custom unpainted head for the ThreeZero figure for comparison.

[MustardDragon]

Ya ya ya! Very nice. I love that they are improving it all the way up to release. It's adding value...and excitement.

Thanks Barbarian! I've been looking for a good forum to chat with people about these amazing statues by Prime 1! Sideshow freaks has a Berserk forum but it's not very active and I experienced the same over on SkullKnight.Net. This seems to be the most active forum I could find.

Regardless I'm so excited for this line! I have Puck, EX + Bonus Griffith and EX Zodd Human form on order as well as Berserker Armor Normal Edition ( I was too late on the EX). After receiving Guts I'm so pumped to have these guys all displayed! Can't say I'm too hyped on Isidro, especially for the price. I really wish we would have had the option to buy that bloody version of Guts! Don't know if I would have purchased that one or not but the option would have been nice.

I'm totally fine with my "normal" version of the BS, IMO the bloody version is a bit too much. The more bloody version would fit more for Berserker Armor IMO, maybe they announce one in the far future lol.

Well sure. Options are always great. Nevertheless, I would have surely gotten the non-bloody EX version. There is already plenty of blood and guts without the added mess. I love the EX version. It's among the greatest statues I have ever seen or owned. Super psyched about the Prime EX Griffith! :buttrock:

Since Zodd is on its way this month, way before before Griifith

Does Prime1 allow you to move money from one partial pay order to pay off another, or do they do what Sideshow does and just cancel it?

[Fallency]

I wish they had done better with Isidro (even at first I didn't like him, but I feel attached to him later on.)

Griffith's new face is magnificent wow, I'm planning to get him for sure.

I want to see SK fairly soon, I assume at Prime Studio Museum Event which will take place in a few days.

I think Zodd Apostle will be a hit, damn he looks so good with the scene, but holy how I can expose it home.
He will be the next in PO or Schierke probably.

And some new characters reveals, such as Farnese and Serpico will make me feel happy !

The need to make that tongue out portrait sexier.

[NosferatuOMeGa]

The face seems too static with the tongue out. It's needs a little more movement/expression in the eyes!

Its the angle thats not working. Should look great on display! With tongue is so much better than no tongue. The bloody guts looks amazing!!!! Now thats what I call making a difference on blood effects!

[iguana]

Yeah its a no go for Apostle Form for me...That depth dimension is a killer.

Yeah you'll need an own table for him so I won't get him too. Unfortunately SK will be same or maybe even more I guess.

They can do it like Wonder woman. Hers was only 25" in depth and that was for a 1/3 I believe.

Measurements for
Guts 1/3: 97x60x55
Zodd Apostle Form: 77x110x100

apostle is smaller than i expected, from pictures i was imaging something like 85-90cm height

He really is if I think about it again. Even if it is about 1/5 and he's not 100 % straight he should be taller I guess, especially when Stehpen Lee included the size of the base too.

Edit: Here's a pic again with both and Guts Sword Up, Seems not thaaat much smaller, who knows if Stehpen measured right.

Anyone here have kids? I have an infant daughter and currently own Guts: The Blackswordsman. I also have Zodd Human form on PO and Berserker Armor. These are all very gory statues and will be displayed in their own separate room, however I still feel uneasy thinking of my daughter seeing them. I'm also on the fence about getting slan. Anyone here with kids getting Slan? How will you explain and /or work around the nudity?

[supermetroid]

Don't have kids but I see your dilemma. Not sure their brains would ask questions until they're toddlers but that'd be too young to explain Berserk lol. Maybe keep them out of sight

[Pompous]

I agree with supermetroid. I would hide them from her for now. I’m not one to lecture on how to raise kids but, to me, kids should not see that kinda imagery regardless of how young they are. At the same time I don’t think you should stop collecting. You said they will be displayed in a separate room, as long as they’re not all around the house you should have no problem keeping her from seeing it. A closed door is always a good solution, and if she needs to be in that room have some black cloths ready to pull over them.

The real tricky part is when she starts to ask questions. Just explain to her how she likes things for kids (My Little Pony, Frozen, etc) and you like grown-up, adult stuff that is more gross and scary, and promise she can see them when she’s much older. It’s pretty remarkable how understanding kids can be if you’re open with them.

As for Slan, as long as your spouse is okay with it, there should be no problem with your daughter, just hide it like the rest (and maybe save showing her that one for last waaaaaay down the line when you can explain context to her haha).

[rcaido]

My kids loves the Guts statue. As for Slan only way i can get away with that is if i bought the whole God Hand which im not planning to do. I already have the Figma Goodsmile set which is pretty much the same sculpt as Prime 1. Pretty lazy on Prime 1.

Take the kids to a museum a few times they won't be shocked by a naked body

[BurningRage]

These are great for the nursery.

Yea honestly the blood and guts are probably more of an issue then the nudity :| as long as it's not overly serialized the naked (or various almost clothed instances) human form has been depicated in art through human history. Slan isn't really that distatesful, the death and carnage on the rest of the bases are much worse :P

[iguana]

I also have a kid and would say the body parts are more of a problem then the nudity. Nudity is something normal, ever was but humans/monsters/animals (especially horses which most kids love) with cut off parts or without heads that are staring at you aren't daily.

That's interesting traditionally Americans have had more aversion to sex/ nudity than violence and blood.

Thanks Pompous, I like your view on explaining it the child.

As for my spouse being okay with Slan, technically my wife isn't okay with ANY of my collectibles, so thats going to be a no go haha. Like I said all of my statues will be in their own display/office room with a locked door. I think I'll figure out a good way to cover the inappropriate ones if my daughter wants to venture into the room. Everything else is DBZ related, still violent but not as bad as Berserk. I also just ordered the original Geralt of Rivia from Prime 1 and thats go a lot of blood too.

[BrandedSaiyan27]

These are great for the nursery.

Whew! Thanks for confirming for me, I thought so too but was on the fence. I'm thinking of putting Void and Apostle Zodd right in front of the crib so she has a perfect viewing angle of them.

[dao2]

That's interesting traditionally Americans have had more aversion to sex/ nudity than violence and blood.

Yes and it's weird that they do. Why is seeing someone's head cut off better than seeing a naked breast? I say this as an American. I don't think a child really needs to see either, but of the two violence is worse imo. Sex is a different story, still better then extreme violence but Sex or overly sexualized is not the same as nudity.

[Pompous]

Take the kids to a museum a few times they won't be shocked by a naked body

As she grows up, I feel the problem will be less about the naked statue itself, and more about “why do you own this naked statue”? Haha

[Nugchompa]

I dont have kids, but I would have more of a problem with the gore than the nudity. The nudity just is. It isn't of an overtly sexualized nature. I find it odd how a breast creates controversy but a decapitated head is considered okay to many.

[Zombiez]

Violence is easier to explain to children but with SEX things can get very complicated, violence comes with less questions. I think most children would just think that all the gore on the berserk statues is ugly. Nudity in a tasteful ARTISTIC form is something i believe they can easily get used to which is why i suggested the museum.

[NosferatuOMeGa]

I have guts and a three year old kid.

"Who's that man?" "WHY HE HURT THE DINOSAUR!!"
Lol, anyway - in general, my kids have liked all the statues I have/had.
All berserk pieces are on PO so far, so we'll see how they fair.

The nudity on slan isn't particularly over the top or anything, it's pretty muted and better the the base :P

Most other places in the world don't have a problem with explaining nipples to people ^^

On the subject of Slan, someone posted a video that shows the censored upper area. It might be the extreme angle needed to see behind the feather, but the nipple placement seems reminiscent of ARH.

Something like it was a "bad dinosaur who attacked him" or somewhere along those lines.

For the most part, he loves all of the statues, and is completely obsessed with a Venom piece that I have.

Is Prime 1 studio only using Fedex to ship there products oversea and how fast will it arrive to its destination (Europe).

I have ordered Berserker amour and its sword placement is almost similar to Black swordsman. For anyone that has the Black swordsman, how secure is it if you switch his sword to his shoulder, is there a crevice of some kind on his shoulder for the sword to sit in or is it just only gravity.

Thanks!

Great Zodd unboxing, thanks for sharing.

For how heavy and expensive P1 statues are, they really need to make the magnets WAY stronger. It breaks my heart when I see these things drop or get damaged.

We all know to be careful. These aren’t made out of plastic.

[DeadGhostKnight]

Lol i loved that video it was great!

It does amaze me that people drop so much money on statues and really don't take their time putting them together. For me a piece with so many pieces and slowly building it up is one of the fun parts and when pieces are this complicated and this expensive you take your time lol.

IF it was me i honestly wouldn't have uploaded it lol but it did make me smile.

Also this piece is ----ing INSANE! Yeah it's an expensive piece but ---- me the size, the quality.....just all out from P1 with these pieces.

[Stiler]

lol, when that shield fell, oh man I've been there before, though mine was much worse (causing my Superman cape to fall and have multiple big breaks).

Then the realization that he had it in backwards and that's why it was so easily knocked out lmao.

Estimated arrival at SS has now been changed from oct-dec, to November.

Whoohoo! I haven't received a notification yet, did you get an email or just see it on the site? Honestly I'm kind of scared for this guy to show up. I have no idea where I'm going to display him or how I'm going to explain him to the wife :)

[chavez553]

No, no email, but it shows the updated date on there product page. 2 things you can count on when something is about to arrive at SS, They puts the item at low quantity alert even it really isn’t to entice people to buy it asap, then they update the estimated arrival date.

He should be in our hands by early November. I’d expect emails to go out this week or next.

I’ve got a spot for mine. ��

[chavez553]

Just got the item arriving soon email from Sideshow for Prime 1 Zodd

Will be arriving in their wharehouse November 12

Yeah shipping on these P1 pieces does sting, regardless super stoked for this one. This will be the largest statue i have ever received and possibly ever will :itsb:

[NosferatuOMeGa]

$160 to Canada, plus some additional taxes!
I'm 1 1/2 hours from NY too. Lol

I am pretty sure this line is just about done because they have made most of the main cast of characters already and only a few more remain.

I am pretty sure this line is just about done because they have made most of the main cast of characters already and only a few more remain.

actually there are still many of them that can be made in multiple versions, and not counting the 1:6 dios.

Like who?? From the main cast only casca, farnese serpico remain. The 1:6 dio line is different I was talking about the 1:4 I believe it's pretty much complete . After the 3 characters that I mentioned are done what remains?? A few villains Maybe Mogus, ganishka and grunbeld but they are far from the most desirable especially mogus.

No doubt they will make other berserk statues but this initial 1:4 museum pose line seems like it's reached an inevitable end. I could be wrong but I doubt it

i would like for example:

golden age band of hawk
(Judeau, Pippin, Corkus, Rickert)
Serpico
Caska golden, crazy, nowdays?
farnese in double version
nowdays guts
zodd with wings
Grunbeld
Locus
Irvine
Sonia

Snake Baron
Count
Wyald
Rosine
Ganishka

Gambino
Charlotte
King of Midlands

But im sure i missed somebody else

[StatueDiva]

1. Band of Falcon won't sell in 1/4 scale. Anyone besides Guts, Casca, and Griffith is business suicide in 1/4.




Locus
Irvine
Sonia

Snake Baron
Count
Wyald
Rosine
Ganishka

Gambino
Charlotte
King of Midlands


2. None of these will sell in this scale either. I only cut out Grunbeld because he's really the only one that will move units.

You're going to have shortage of warehouse space with the rest. Nobody in their right mind should do those characters in large scale.



3. I think Zombiez hit it right in that this line is probably about done with. I wouldn't be surprised if 2019 is the last year for 1/4.

[Medusoid]

Any word on Schierke? I loved how the statue turned out and I was hoping to see it up for order soon.

[HiTMAN]

I’m really digging the revised portrait on Griffith, well done to Prime 1 for listening to collectors.

I had no plans to display the initial render but I will now, hopefully the P1 store EX bonus includes a stand.

Price is too high imo, not sure if this is going to do well since a lot of people buying the statues don't know the manga well.

[SONICobra]

$200 less than zodd? man this hobby is getting nuts, glad i got guts and zodd - im out of this line

[Zombiez]

As soon as this goes up on sideshow i will pre-order it. I would have preferred a " broken" casca statue but this will due just fine for now until they release an official Casca.

[actionjackson83]

What the hell $899 for “that”?

[StatueDiva]

$200 less than zodd? man this hobby is getting nuts, glad i got guts and zodd - im out of this line

Yeah, this is priced the same as Slan regular. That piece was understandable since she is fully covered in translucent resin like ECC females.

I was expecting the price to be around $599 or a bit higher. Can't knock Prime 1 quality, but these prices are getting out of hand.

[majestic1]

Isidro at $699 and now this at $899, P1 are getting a bit silly with these prices. The price for Skull Knight on horse and Grunbeld is gonna be insane.

[BurningRage]

I hate to see what 1/3 Guts will cost.

[BrandedSaiyan27]

Isidro at $699 and now this at $899, P1 are getting a bit silly with these prices. The price for Skull Knight on horse and Grunbeld is gonna be insane.

Damn, Glad I got Guts, Human Zodd, Berserker Armor and Griffith. That may have to be it for me for this line with these crazy prices. Isidro was the same price as Geralt of Rivia ( Witcher Series). Geralt is way more of a badass character than Isidro so I got him instead.

Beast of Cascas dream is cool and all, but not $899 cool for the size and he only lasted a few pages in the manga.

I'm going to be passing on the God Hand unfortunately, just too expensive.

I'm terrified to see the price on Grunbeld and Skull Knight, I love those characters and they would be on my must have list. Hopefully I'm all caught up on my other PO payments by then and can afford it :)

Also Apostle Zodd and 1/3 Guts will be priced insanely high.

[GriffiSkywalker]

900$ what the hell, i was thinking around 500$

[daemerz]

po'ed everything from the berserk line day 1 except for the last two as they are priced too high for my taste. it looks great but not for that kind of money...

[rcaido]

This actually looks really good w/ some fine detail. Can you imagine this next to Guts & Armored Guts...That would look so good!

Got the notification for final payment & shipping soon for Zodd! Yes!

Yeah, it's super way cool and all, and fairly massive at 26 inches tall, but that price is a bit much.

[Pompous]

The actual Berserker armor statue is literally only $50 more than this. Are they trying to capatalize on dog lovers or......?

[StatueDiva]

More that they're taking the piss.

We know that the underbases are recycled. The sword is definitely recycled. The rest of it is new.

You're paying $900 for a 1/4 dog, casket, some small golems, and a broken Casca doll.

[chavez553]

which is so bizarre to me, awesomeness of the statue aside - its the best bang for buck of the line and maybe even from prime1 period

It will, once it’s starts shipping. Sideshow has already put the low stock meter on him. The regular might hang around though, but not if Prime1 has cut the ES down because of port sales.

It’s on Prime1s waitlist.

[iguana]

Price is at least 150 USD to much IMO, don't know what they thinking. I hope it will not get much orders and they rethink their price tags fot the future.

[EnShinNoi]

High price. Then consider it has the most niche audience of all their Berserk statues. Ridiculously high price. Sales are going to be so low. It might even get cancelled.

To actually want this, one would have to meet the following requirements:

A die-hard manga fan who is up to date with their reading
A statue line completionist
Enough money to buy something expensive you don't necessarily love as much as other comparably priced statues

Of course, I'm being very generalistic here but my point is, niche audience.

[SONICobra]

maybe thats the point, to say they made the effort but the fans dictated that it wouldnt get made

In that case the same fate may fall on Isidro and Schierke.

They'll just kill the line.

TBH with these prices people may as well forget about Skull Knight on Horseback.

Nah schierke should be popular enough to make good sales. If jetpower prime can move units at around 3000$ skull knight should be just fine

They still have to pay for the prototype so that would make no sense.

[Zombiez]

High price. Then consider it has the most niche audience of all their Berserk statues. Ridiculously high price. Sales are going to be so low. It might even get cancelled.

To actually want this, one would have to meet the following requirements:

A die-hard manga fan who is up to date with their reading
A statue line completionist
Enough money to buy something expensive you don't necessarily love as much as other comparably priced statues

Of course, I'm being very generalistic here but my point is, niche audience.

You just described me but hopefully sales won't be low just slow. I don't think these companies expect statues to sell out until after collectors have them in hand. Which means sometime in 2020.

[iguana]

They still have to pay for the prototype so that would make no sense.

What?
I mean they can make better prices for other statues of the line, not this one.

[Zombiez]

What?

I am pretty sure these statues are priced exactly were they need to be to keep things profitable. All the berserk statues are going to range from 700- 1500. IF this doesn't sell at this price point that doesn't mean they are going to lower the prices they just won't make any more niche statues at this scale for this line and p1 will end up like sideshow making the same thing over and over again because that's what the consumers want.

[SONICobra]

companies abandon projects all the time regardless of if a prototype is produced or not. the loss of a prototype is a lot easier to make up than the loss on an entire run of statues they can only sell a very small percentage of

Yeah but I don't think that's likely with this line p1 seems to be supporting this line 100% more so than many of their others

I have no clue what they cost the company all in all but I claim they could be cheaper if they wanted to and still make profit, maybe not much cheaper but still a bit.

[Balthazar]

I thinks this will not sold out. It is beautiful, but indeed you need to be a completist. Does anyone know something about the 1/6 line? I am very interested about it

[Kevorkian]

they showed just a concept of guts riding zodd for now, but no teaser of a actual sculpt.
I dont know if the release of oniri creations impacted somehow on this one.

[Balthazar]

Thank you. I believe you are correct. For animes i try to stick in 1/6, because i believe that suit em better

[Dokstarr]

I think I'm going to be mostly out of this line now. Guts, Armor Guts, and I'd do a regular Casca. Slan is a very attractive statue, but in terms of actual screen/page time, the Godhand are barely seen. I'm not even sure if we will see the Guts-Dog again. It was very cool in the few chapters it was there, but that might be done

[SONICobra]

one of these is $130 less than the other one... i know i know :deadh: but what the heck are they thinking?

[Balthazar]

Sonic, i understand what you try to point out, but i believe that it is incorrect and I explain. This kind of comparision is not that easy, because, for example, the license fee and the royalties for Guyver can be significantly cheaper than for Berserk. More, the materials involved can be different and with different quality.

Does anyone actually know how much licence fees actually cost for various franchises? I know Beserk is going through a resurgence because of the movies and animated series etc, but I doubt the price difference is solely just because of the license.

Maybe Prime 1 just believe there's going to be enough demand in East Asia, that they can get away with pricing it higher than usual.

And at least for apparent quality that Guyver piece does looks great, from head to base.

The Guyver pieces are super comparable with Berserk... Both lines are offering a variety of switchouts and retail at $999 and above..

Dead horse indeed, but it's obvious they've turned to nickel-and-diming folks. They'll get 5 orders for this at maximum.

Nice! I was hoping to get Zodd sometime this week but my order has been processing since Monday. :banghead:

But with the serious situation with the wild fires that were happening so close Sideshow, they’re probably trying to get caught up with their day to day operations.

[chavez553]

Yeah, I’m looking forward to this one very much.

So the regular has disappeared at Sideshow and the Ex has higher payments now.

should get zodd today. first time ss used DHL with me. super fast.

No, you’re wrong. Check it again. It’s waitlisted now.

Hi in the hell does the regular sell out right when it starts shipping? This happens quite a bit on Prime1 products.

[chavez553]

The regular sells out and the exclusive is still available?

Makes no sense.

There was 500 of the Regular and 350 of the exclusive.

Who here bought a regular ?

[Phoenixblazes]

Just keep in mind that all of the international retailers are the ones selling the majority of the 'regulars'.

Most of my collection are non exclusive pieces, as it costs me an additional 30 to 60% on top of what I spend to get the regular locally, in order to get the Exclusive from Sideshow.

this year has been insane.

got ToT, lady maria, guts and now zodd...

thanos pops more than zodd for sure (due to the colors) but zodd has so much presence, its insane.
I can only score the ones I have but for me the order would be:

1 Zodd
2 ToT
3 Lady Maria
4 Guts

I would not rate any of the statues less than 8.5 (Guts)

[StatueDiva]

Zodd is a beauty..

[DiscoCougar]

On the whole, I don't see how Zodd and HMO's Morrigan won't be the two finalists competing for statue of the year this time around.

[Kevorkian]

hmo morrigan for sure is one of the best female piece ever released, but zodd is totally on another level, just my 2 cents

Got the notification, getting mine Tuesday. Zodd & Guts is going to look so good together!

[creech1999]

I can’t wait till next Wednesday for Zodd!
But with all honesty Sideshow Court of the Dead Demithyle statue should also be one of the runners up for the best statue of the year!
I just received him yesterday, and finally opened him up today.
And all I can say Is WOW kudos to Sideshow, one of the best detail statues I have ever seen.
The artistic talent, engineering and creativity that was put Into this statue Is amazing.
Again well done Sideshow!

[chavez553]

Out for delivery today.

Hope I don’t miss it.

It’s here guys.

Holy f@%! It’s big!!!

Mine is not here, will be next week so have to wait through the weekend and into mid week next week. :(

Any buying zodd's monster form? It's a must if you all get this one. Do it add it into the b berserk line! It's going to be a stand out piece for sure :D

They’re both 3 ft tall

One is a little thinner than the other. But yeah, standard big ass boxed from P1.��

The base was in a box pretty much by itself. Base is the biggest I’ve ever seen. My jaw dropped.

Slan is a very attractive statue, but in terms of actual screen/page time, the Godhand are barely seen. I'm not even sure if we will see the Guts-Dog again. It was very cool in the few chapters it was there, but that might be done

It's not about how much they appeared as much as you like the character, It's like saying you wont by Guts before the Eclipse.
Are you honestly gonna say no to the 100 man slayer or guts vs bazuso ? lets not forget him holding Casca during the sacrifice.

[chavez553]

So just the sword is 10 inches? Isn't the sword real metal also? Any concern about it warping the arm over time being outstretched like that?

[chavez553]

You know it does feel a little harder material that the rest of the statue. So maybe it is metal. I’d have to put a magnet 🧲 to it later on to find out for sure.

The sword hand does sort of droop out of the arm socket a little so there’s that.

If you get the Ex and are worried about it, just use the crushed helmet hand. It looks just as good. IMO.

You might already be aware, but magnets don't work on all types of metal. Mostly they only work on materials that include iron or nickel.

Well the base is 17” and There is a body that protrudes off the back about 2”

So add the sword and it’s 29”

Thing is big.. lol.

I had to turn mine to the lady a little so no one runs into it.

DANG that is huge :itsb:

kind of sucks as i wont be able to display him straight on but sounds like im going to have to turn it slightly if i want to display the sword. to be honest i kind of expected that though, part of the reason im getting out of this line. these things look big in pictures but i think its difficult to grasp their true size or the logistics of displaying them until you have them in hand. thanks for checking bro :thumbs2:

[jerkilroy2]

Got mine as well. Holy hell! I though Guts was amazing but this in my opinion is one more rung up the freaking awesome ladder.Very brutal! I wish I could have his sword out but its way to long for my situation.

[chavez553]

Yeah I took the sword hand off and I’m using the crushed helmet.

It’s just too big and too much risk having the sword hand in.

Don’t like him turned to the side like that either. Better to look at him straight on.

Did you have any trouble with the cape being tied too tight for his head to sit down in properly? That was my only problem besides a very small break on his chest piece.

[jerkilroy2]

Makes everything else look small!

[Vendetta]

Zodd is probably my favorite in the entire (extremely impressive) Berserk line. Griffith and Femto are up there too.

Can't wait to get mine in a few weeks.

[chavez553]

Yeah, it was a bit of a struggle but was able to to it a few minutes.

After put his head on over the cape, I just pulled the cape away from his face and back of head, at the same time pushing the head down till it the head sat all the way down.

[NosferatuOMeGa]

These are some BIGGG boxes.
I have some work to do later this week!

[SONICobra]

unboxed zodd yesterday - impressive as hell, just a really really REALLY awesome statue. it was expensive but honestly i feel like i got my moneys worth, very satisfying statue

for those with 24" deep shelves i believe he will fit straight on using the knife hand that is angled sideways. i have yet to build my shelves but was measuring it after i set it all up and its just about 24" on the dot maybe an 1/8" less but should work if youre like me and wanted to display him head on

[Spongebob]

When will the berserker armour ship? How much import/custom tax do some of you guys pay for a 1/4 scale when ordering direct from Prime 1

this weekend i unboxed zodd, absolutely fantastic piece.

Have we had any news/tease for the 1:6 diorama line? Now that Tsume released their piece I feel Prime1 should give us more info.
