And snake flopped to the point they are bringing it back to the design board to even warrant the cost. If we are still talking about comparison, law was 500 with his dragon.

I can't see this being past a 600 dollar statue, but berserk fans are quite loose with their wallet.

It's just a guess but all I heard until now and the assumption of many other lead to the point that it will be priced higher but who knows we'll have to wait, preo must be soon. Also you are right, there were companies in the past who did Berserk Statues like Headlong and Art of War but IMO only a few were very good and now Berserk gets a new hype with P1 and F4F doing big High Collectibles of it. On the one hand it's good that the Fans get so much choice but on the other hand the wallet has to cry much if you want them all.

It's not just about the piece when it comes to cost, berserk is known to be an expensive license that's why all berserk pieces are higher priced.

As for structural integrity of the piece, F4F have done some very dynamic stuff and trust me they tackle every issue head on and this will have been thought about before committing to the piece.

To be perfectly honest, i think the execution was done better than P1. Fully captured the anime/manga spirit battling the curse thats inflicted on him.

Only real gripe i have is the somewhat slimmer body structure this statue is sporting. I recall him being a really beefy character but i bet this was probably factored in for their structural concerns. Having a slimmer structure can also be associated with his younger days when he wasn't really built up, along the lines of what collectors can relate to.

Pretty sure that it's been hinted at 650-700 in the club.

One is a museum pose one a dynamic pose. Like said, with a dynamic one you capture normally a special scene and F4F done very well! When you are a fanboy you can also say: It's not fully captured cause there isn't the beast of darkness which is an important part of guts or an apostle, Demon Child bla...
But this wouldn't make sense at all with a dynamic pose. So I don't compare the pieces which statue represent Berserk better. Both do it on their own way very good. In the end it all depends on personal tase and the wallet of course. Both pieces deserve to be sold.

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

I'm getting both. but with the f4f version I really don't like the face too much however the ex base looked better than I thought it would and if it lights up then that would make up for the bad face.

It looks so much better painted, I may well buy it. i don't dislike P1's Guts, I might even like it a tad better but the price just kills it for me so we'll.

You also can't discard the fact that the Berserk line for P1 already has several pieces and many more coming soon so for fans that's a blessing. F4F has just revealed Guts and we don't know what's coming after and Tsume hasn't even revealed anything yet.

Do we know the measurements for this piece?
