Figure Features
The Black Swordsman "Guts" is recreated as a huge 1/6 scale figure.
The powerful stance captures the attitude of the character, his giant sword gDragonslayerh resting on his shoulder.
His freshly used sword, along with the slain bodies on the base below, create a tense atmosphere.
There are 2 heads included, capturing both "glaring" and "sneering" portraits.
"The Brand of Sacrifice" is carved into the back of his neck.
All the textures of the gadgets are sculpted in exacting detail.
Details as subtle as the hidden crossbow in the mantle were sculpted with the greatest of care, making no compromises.
The "Apostle Spawn" cruelly slain, liter the base, a far contrast to the adorable "Puck" and "Behelit" hiding inside the swordsmanfs pouch helps express the world of Berserk.
