Collectibles Berserk

[Darth Maul]

Is the Figma Armored Griffith worth picking up? It seems a bit steep for what it is. And it’s a re-issue on top of it all. It’s the only other Berserk figure I’d ever want though. I have the Band of the Hawk Guts. Missed out on the Black Swordsman.

Yes, I'd say he's worth it even if I prefer his post reincarnation look a bit more. I got him a few years ago and he could be the only normal Griffith figma we're going to get anytime soon.

They also released a Black Swordsman repaint with better face apps over a year ago or so.

Also, Berserk manga returns August 23rd and sounds like we're back on Elfhelm.

Went ahead and ordered him. I wish he was only $50ish though.

By the way, what in the hell is with people calling things “bad boy” again? It seemed to stop there for a while, but now I’m seeing it EVERYWHERE again.

Kinda off topic, but not really, since it was a Berserk figure review and a dozen other instances where I’ve kept hearing it.

You’ll be happy with him maul, he’s a good figure!

Next chapter is out Friday. It better be the fucking reunion finally.

We're definitely back on Elfheim. I saw one spoiler image and that was enough for me to not look at anymore and just wait.

Someone mentioned August 23rd marks 23 years since the chapter where Casca lost her mind was released or something. Berserk is also 30 this year.

Put F in the chat for Guts.

The struggle continues...

 

[Darth Maul]

So, I tracked down the Black Swordsman Figma for under $90... it feels like a Gut punch (ha), but I don’t think it’ll get re-released again. I missed out on the reissue of the Figma Snake as is.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I might get that before the years out.

 

[Darth Maul]

The Figma Snake? Dude... it’s $120 on eBay, which is like double what it’s worth.

Some notes from a recent Miura interview. The last bullet point...

Interview with Kentaro Miura regarding his new series Duranki and how it affects Berserk

• Duranki is made under Miura's Studio Gaga. For the series, he is credited as writer and producer.
• For Duranki, assistants are taking care of the inking. As writer & producer, he right now he makes the storyboard, sketch the draft, quality checking and final adjustments. (like "Art Director" in anime production)
• Three assistants on-site, one remote.
• For Berserk, he draws all the characters and background. Assistants are only in charge of tones, buildings, background soldiers or far-off scenery. Recently he started having them draw the ground too.
• He is usually fast with storyboarding, so he doesn't think this new series will affect Berserk production. Main bottleneck is the art, because he tries to draw everything by himself.
• He hopes to use Duranki as an opportunity to improve his assistants' skills so that he will be more comfortable offloading more of Berserk work to his assistants too. Potentially speeding up Berserk releases.
• Eventually, his goal is to only do the storyboard and final adjustments for Duranki and let his assistants do the rest.
• Duranki turned into a series when he shared one of his ideas for a new manga to his editor.
• Originally Duranki was actually a isekai time travel manga, but scrapped the isekai approach because it was too prevalent and went with straight fantasy/mythology.
• His manga production is now fully digital. Made the switch around 2015 when Rakshas revealed his true identity.
• He knows he has an unhealthy obsessed with drawing every little details. Believes it's simply because he loves the old, "Baroque Period" of manga like Akira and Fist of the North Star that had really dense and detailed art.
• Quite happy with using digital to draw. He gets to zoom into stuff and obsess over each little pixel. His editor tries to stop him whenever he goes that far.
• Never felt bored making Berserk. Always tries to do new themes. Making manga is fun.
• Berserk is currently in the later stages of its overall story. Lot of shocking things coming up after the current arc.

Just finish the damned thing already. Please by early next decade.

It's strange to hear he's got others helping him do backgrounds.

What kind of publishing company just let’s you come and go as you please. Could you imagine if JK Rowling just wrote a chapter of Harry Potter and left for about a year every year after the release of goblet of fire? She’d be fired
