By Berserk has stood the test of time, and if you’re looking to add more of that dark fantasy saga to your life, you can’t go wrong with some high-quality collectible merchandise. While we’re still waiting for a full-size replica of Gut’s almighty blade to go on sale–hopefully it wouldn’t require a decade of strength training to pick up–the good news is that preorders for detailed collectible figures are up for grabs at Amazon. Most of these figures release not too long after the Blu-ray release of the 1997 Berserk anime, which you can preorder for $60 at Amazon or $45 at Crunchyroll.

Starting off with the cutest figure, Nendoroid’s version of Berserk’s protagonist Guts downsizes the massive warrior into an adorable bundle of scowls and swords. It comes with the Dragon Slayer Greatsword, cannon arm weapons, and other optional parts. You can even swap out the default face-plate and its taciturn expression for two other options. This a fresh run of the figure, just in case you missed out on the first release.

For something bigger and more detailed, there’s the SH Figurarts figure of Guts. This one is based on Guts succumbing to his inner demon and becoming enveloped in his dark armor, creating an even deadlier warrior in the process. Like other SH Figuarts collectibles, these combine an impressive amount of detail with an absurd amount of articulation, so you’ll be able to make this figure strike a cool pose easily. It also comes with a lot of extras, as you’ll get weapons, optional heads, optional helms, extra hands, and a cool cape for this collectible.
On the more premium side of the Berserk collector’s market, there are the ThreeZero figures. These are pricier, but they look incredibly authentic in person. Amazon has both Guts and Griffith preorders available, and each sixth-scale figure is loaded with extras. The Guts figure is armed to the teeth with throwing knives, daggers, and other signature weapons, and the finer details on this model include fabric clothing, faux leather accessories, and interchangeable headsculpts. Something else that’s particularly cool is that the arms are made from silicone, creating a more seamless appearance as the articulation joints are hidden.
The Griffith figure is more regal in its design, and features the antagonist in his reborn Band of the Hawk armor. Griffith’s hair is made from PVC materials so it looks accurate to the source material, the joint areas are covered by fabric, and he comes with several extra parts. One other great thing about ThreeZero figures is that they come with a year-long warranty, so if the figure gets damaged on accident, you should be covered by the manufacturer.
If you’d prefer something more static, Amazon also offers a Guts statue from Pop Up Parade. This one is beautifully detailed, features Guts in his Berserker armor, and even has a built-in LED for an extra touch of spookiness. Lastly, you can always grab the Berserk manga, as these are available in standard paperback or deluxe hardcover versions. Treat yourself–or a friend–with these premium prints of the classic manga.
