Not familiar with this company, but I see this is ABS/
PVC. I don't see an ES. Open?

I think it's over priced especially for the material their using ABS/PVC.
I've they'd used something like resin or polystone I would consider buying it.

Then I highly recommend Art of War. They use Resin for their statues, they are 1/10 scale and cost roughly 3 times as much.

There's a reason why this statue is so attractive, and it's because Art of War's Monopoly on Berserk statues has been ruining Berserk fans around the globe for the past decade. This is cheaper, bigger & higher quality.

i originally had reservations about Gecco Raiden, but it looks equally amazing standing next to Resin/polystone statues, although it's ABS/PVC. It's lighter, but other than that it's extremely high-quality. If Gecco Raiden had come out looking awful, then I wouldn't even give this statue a chance.

Don't want to turn this into another poly stone vs PVC argument but I thought it was known that PVC is more expensive?

It doesn't matter as long as they get those details, they did with raiden so i have confidence in them.

All of my Berserk collection is from A.O.W and only the Armered Berserk from Headlog.

Yes I agree that A.O.W is ruining Berserk statue's,and the deatails on the Gecco Berserk is amazing.

How ever I still think their charging alot for it despite PVC is a cheap material eventhough when it come's to details nothing beats PVC.

That's just my opinion.

It's an understandable reason, I have a soft spot for resin myself.

Moving on, I think this could be a very good look at things to come. I can't wait for Gecco to bring out Human Zodd, Berserker Armor Guts & Skull Knight. Maybe we'll even get a Band of the Hawk diorama, because my primary issue with AoW has always been their extremely lackluster portraits. Headlong's portraits are always very impressive, and his Zodd bust is a perfectly sculpted portrait of Zodd (imo).

Any fan of Berserk who passes on this is going to regret it down the road. I have their Raiden, and the detail and workmanship is superb and pretty much looks like the prototype. The detail on Guts is equally amazing if not more so.

Third-party sites , like amiami, have this available for pre-order, and it's also cheaper.

Are you not ordering this one then? I think once you get Raiden and you see what great quality he is you'll get this Guts too

Loving what Gecco are doing, really smashing it imo, amazingly well done stuff and getting all the right licenses imo!
Yeah Gecco and the mysterious Sentinel are very interesting to me.

I ordered from http://www.ultratc.com/

I think it's legit. I only paid a small NRD of about $20 (I think).

They have been fast to communicate.

Aparently the statues have been held up by the docking labor disputes on the west coast.

I got Asura late too when I went through BBTS.

Their stuff gets shipped in bulk on a semi regular basis - whatever saves money for them and the customer.

It sucks but sometimes can save a few bucks.

But the Raiden thing is p1ssing me off....

I've started ordering direct with extra shipping if it's not too much.

LOVE the standard shipping fee at GSC for GUTS. $20 if I remember right....(statue is expensive enough!).
