Berserk Collectibles Show Us Some Berserk/Manga Disscussion

[Star Zen]

Just kind really bummed me out seeing how this Figuarts chose to handle Casca came ...now I understand that Bandai is going for the manga look for the characters, which is fair - But even in the manga she was often shaded somewhat darker - I really prefer the way Casca looked in the 1997 anime, she looks so much more stern, serious and not to mention the darker skin tone really makes her stand out amongst the cast, especially since darker toned anime characters are somewhat rare, Idk Its just looks how i interpreted the character to look like on the pages of the manga...I really hope Threezero takes a crack at Casca in the future after Zodd.

I agree I love darkskin Casca aswell. I hate when they lighten her skin. There was a time in the horrid 2016 anime where she was white as snow. She looked so off. But yea her 97 appearence was her best look.

 

[spaceghost2000]

Seems to vary, Miura’s paintings have her with a different skin tone picture to picture.
She’s not as dark toned here, but the pale characters are very pale by comparison.

Then across these two she’s different again.

She still looks darker skinned in Miura's various colorings than the Figuarts would suggest. Didn't he describe her as dark skinned anyway?

 

[ironwez20]

Sometimes she has darker skin but sometimes it’s a dark brown color. It does vary but in the latest anime they lighter her skin more so than it is in the manga.

I think the newest figure has a better skin tone than that movie version honestly. It was far to light

Upon further inspection. They actually have the same skin tone. It’s just manga casca has better features imo. Anime movie casca has such big round eyes

I wanted that Casca outfit, the one with the armor after she got her memories back.

I saw S.H. Figuarts Schierke at Kinokuniya (Bryant Park location) tonight. The figure is really tiny and plasticy with lots of exposed joints on the gown. Would've been good if they could've incorporated fabric clothes with a miniature body underneath.

It did look accurate to scale with the rest of the line. $75.99 MSRP, though lol.

MSRP should be about $50-53 (¥8000).

I see Amazon and BBTS have it for $74.99. It’s probably cheaper in Japan. AmiAmi has it for $55.88 but shipping costs can make it more expensive.

My threezero Griffith shipped. Can’t wait for that

My take on Golden Age Guts. Based on the manga.

Looks really good imo, much closer than what Figuarts came up with..

Thank you. I know a reference from manga/comics can be hard to make into 3d because most of the time there are inconsistencies in the drawings. My sculpt can be “off” if you don’t see the same references as I did. With manga/comics, the sculptor have to add their own interpretation of the shape with their skill. Now with that said, the SHF Guts is really bad. I reread and studied the Golden Age Arc, and Guts look nothing like that SHF sculpt. They made the eyes wrong, and the paint did not help. For a company holding the license, and have a lot of professional sculptor, I wonder why they can’t make it better.
