Anime-Themed Physical Collectibles

Goodsmile Company Showcased a Berserk Figurine at One Hobby

— June 2, 2022 — Art & Design
Goodsmile Company showcased a highly detailed Guts figurine at the One Hobby show. The Tokyo-based toymaker took great care when crafting this figurine as it bears fine details of the character. Guts is the protagonist of the anime 'Berserk.' In the story, Guts is a lone mercenary who consistently faces medieval, dark horrors as he continues on his adventures.

The Guts figurine from Goodsmile Company places the hero in his Berserker Armor, which makes him resemble an animal-like monster with glowing red eyes. The armor is sleek and black with an abundance of minuscule geometric edges and various attached fur pelts. The hero is depicted holding his iconic Greatsword over his shoulder as he perches himself atop a stone mountain.

Goodsmile Company did not confirm the price or release date of the figurine at the One Hobby show.
