I don't see that going for anything under $250 anywhere. It's either get it or don't I'm afraid.
Not worth it if it's not accurate. Cape is wrong. Likeness is wrong. Base is a cluster ****.
I hope you realise when you throw cr@p like that this statue was supervised by Kentaro Miura himself, so I rather believe this is his interpretation of the character on this scale. Cape is wrong? What the f@ck that suppose to mean? I also don't see the big problem with the likeness, it's just a slightly different take. The only thing I agree here is the too busy base, it could have been less busy, but this is Prime 1 Studio and they always make their bases busy. I have ordered this Guts btw...I love the manga/anime but admittedly I don't know as much about it as some members here, buy hey, that just makes it easier for me. I'm also a big fan of Prime 1's work for they are game changers, brave and revolutionary. So enlighten me what's the big deal with the cape?

A lot of **** is "supervised" by Miura himself, even the recent anime that's been airing as of late and it honestly doesn't mean ****. If Miura gives the okay for a horrible-looking anime, then by no means is "giving the okay" by Miura means "approved as the best adaptation/rendition by the author". Some creators set the bar higher/are picky for their approval than others and obviously Miura is not the most stringent for the stuff people make from his franchise.
This is just my opinion, but the faces/heads don't look like Guts from the manga (face and head are too long), the proportions of the statue are a little bit off (longer limbs compared to the size of the head), and the cape isn't too "Berserk" as well; it's just swept to the side, but in the manga the cape is drawn as very flowy/wavy instead. That and the monster/beast on the base has never ever been seen in Berserk before (it's just a random beast design) and takes a huge amount of room on the base. It detracts from the statue's look, and it would've been better if the beast had been one that Guts killed in the manga.
Prime 1 is literally asking for more than $1,000 for their Guts statue so I believe it's perfectly fine to excuse some people for being a bit picky towards their statue. For that price, I'd honestly expect it to look almost perfect. Good for you that you feel happy ordering it, but for me I've followed the manga for years and the statue just doesn't scream Guts for me.
Sucks. But man, this figure, one has to be careful handling it. Very sharp edges and points. Even the thorns on the swords are pointy.Gotta send mine back. I had thought there was extra glue that was left over from the neck spikes... but no, it's paint peeling off.
I don't see that going for anything under $250 anywhere. It's either get it or don't I'm afraid.

I love my figma's , great to hear . I have been waiting so long for these figures. Slan can't wait
Agreed. Not sure how I'll pose Slan yet. Wonder if the actual figure will show nipple? I don't think the prototype did. In all honesty though I'm more excited for Void. He's massive and has that awesome base.
