Berserk is the deepest anime licence in the catalogue and one of the few where the statues are treated as seriously as the source. Prime 1 Studio holds most of it, largely at 1/4 and 1/6 in polystone. Lead times here are long even by the standards of this hobby.
Every serious Berserk edition is organised around a sword drawn to be absurd — too long, too thick, closer to a slab of raw iron than a blade. That one design decision explains most of what is odd about this shelf.
Start with the numbers. A 1/4 human figure normally stands somewhere around 45–55cm before the base is counted. The 1/4 Berserk editions here do not: Guts and Casca land near 72cm, Zodd near 88cm, and the Berserker Armour confrontation with Grunbeld pushes past 90cm. The ratio has not changed. The sword, the armour and the structure needed to carry both have. Here the ratio is close to useless as a planning number; trust the centimetre figure.
The weight follows the same logic. An enormous cantilevered mass of polystone hanging off one shoulder has to be counter-anchored somewhere, which is why Berserk bases are so often rock outcrops, fallen apostles, cloaks and debris rather than a plain plinth — the base is structural, not decorative. It is also why the larger editions arrive in more than one box, need two people to assemble, and are unforgiving of a knock to the blade afterwards.
This is the deepest single anime licence on the site, and the one where the studio work is treated as seriously as the source material. Kentaro Miura supervised earlier editions personally, and the line bearing his name remains the closest thing to an author-sanctioned interpretation available in resin.
The Berserker Armour is the form that recurs — different phases, different postures, different studios' readings of the same armour, reissued and reinterpreted more often than anything else here. That matters when you are deciding what to commit to: if you miss one armoured Guts, another interpretation is likely to follow. Miss a particular Zodd or Femto and it may simply be gone.
At the other end of the shelf sit the Behelits and life-scale props: small, cheap by the standards of this collection, and the only Berserk pieces here that fit an ordinary bookshelf without planning.
Lead times run long — twelve to twenty-four months from announcement is ordinary for pieces at this size, and the largest editions sit at the far end of that. A deposit reserves your piece; the balance is taken when the statue is with us and ready to ship, not on a date guessed at eighteen months earlier. Change your mind before dispatch and the deposit comes back in full — no fee, no restocking charge, no store credit — the only sensible way to sell something this large on a two-year horizon. The mechanics are on how reservations work.
Decide the shelf first. The armoured and duelling poses need width for the blade as much as height, and a piece that fits vertically will still overhang a standard cabinet. If your space is fixed, a Behelit or a bust is a more honest first purchase than a 90cm diorama you will end up standing on the floor.
Usually they add a swappable portrait, an extra weapon or a lit element. Here the extras tend to be sword-related, so they change the footprint as well as the price. We list the differences on the product page rather than leaving you to compare photographs.
It is what we can source through official distribution. Older sealed editions are in the Archive for reference, not for sale.
The wider anime and manga shelf shows how the scale tiers work across other series, most of this line comes from Prime 1 Studio, and if it is dark fantasy rather than the licence you are after, fantasy and tabletop is the nearest neighbour.
