Mhm
Man Berserk is cursed from good figures and anime adaptations.
Berserk 97 is good, so are the Golden Age films and the Memorial series. The only ‘bad’ anime is Berserk 2016. Even that one got better as it went on. It was far from perfect but it did improve. It’s more accurate to say anything past the Golden Age tends to be handled poorly.
The Figma are very good for the most part. Not the most articulated but look fantastic and held up very well considering how old they are. The new skull knight looks amazing but Figma seem like they refuse to actually put in the work and commit to a line which is like the worst aspect of them. They also suck at releasing stuff on time
I like the three zero berserker armor guts and am eagerly awaiting to see if my threezero griffith will outperform this when it comes to
@@vincemays7599three zero is the one to get fig doesn't show berserk any respect the guts is terrible too
@@lalalarose8197 97 is the best but leaves a lot of vital stuff out, The films are decent but make a lot of inexplicably bad creative choices
You could tell Anthony was trying not to cuss for the entire first half of the review, but after a while he couldn't take it anymore. 😆
He was having a Breakdown Breakdown
Even after your Guts review I wasn't totally ready to write this line off. I was holding out hope for Griffith! But yeah, definitely not gonna get into it now lol. I'm hoping figma eventually rereleases all of their Berserk figures like they're doing with the God Hand. I'll sacrifice some articulation for figures that actually look good and aren't a nightmare to handle
I hope 3rd Party toys like Dasin Model release it or even Vtoys, Hero Toys, Nightmare Toys etc. 3rd party toy companies now making better figures. I think the "VToys knight of war" is a good Guts body with some tweaks ofc, lots of armor but so articualted. As much as I want Figma but the price just too high to justify unless they will level up like Figma Fluted Armor.
I actually think these berserk figures are more like Figma figures. They sacrifice articulation for the looks. On some figures I prefer Figma cause the style
Ive got the guts and I love it! The wrists are the only real issue on mine but with some patience it's easy to work with. Defo gonna grab Griffith.
I'm glad I didn't pay retail price for both Grif and Guts. 😂
Bandai's becoming the Hasbro of anime figure companies
It looks like his sideburns come directly from his ears! Bandai hired somebody from Hasbro to execute these figures.
Lol
Hopefully storm gets the berserk licence
a very strong rumor that they will get it
@@leonelflores6318 any sources for this?
@@Chris_Bardas Sorry, it's a rumor on Telegram for now but it would be great if Storm collectibles were licensed, can you imagine To the Apostles made by Storm 🤯
@@leonelflores6318 That would be sick!
@@leonelflores6318what do you think of the Apostles by Figma?
The chubby baby face was the deal breaker for me on this. I’d be fine leaving him in a vanilla pose but not if he doesn’t look at all like the source material.
The worst part is that tamashi nations will release more Berserk figures : Zodd, Shrieke and Guts full berserk....will they trash them too ?
Does the Pope defecate in the forest?
Hopefully figma does berserk figures again
They are.
they showed off an incredible looking skull knight fig like half a year ago and until now there has been zero information about it which is incredibly frustrating
@@soulofseph9680 what? They do berserk action figures again or the statue one?
@@rapidoodsdoodles they’re doing skull knight.
@@soulofseph9680 I see. But no news on remaking guts? Anyway thanks
Sigh... I wish this review had come out a couple days ago. Would have saved me money. I was willing to give the line another chance after the debacle that was Guts. But...
I suppose I'll stick it on the shelf and not breathe near it. But that'll be it from me for this line.
brah me tooo i ordered from big bad toys in canada and got hit super hard with the custom fees and its all hot garbage the guts and griffith
imagine the people who sold their figmas to buy these lol
Lol I know right, I'm seeing a lot of shf fanboys shit on figma and mentioning selling them.
I sold my Guts thinking the figuarts would be better..sucks..at least I kept griffith
I am glad that I am only collecting the Naruto line from Sh Figurearts. I quite enjoy the new Orochimaru and Obito figures, looking forward to those reviews.
Naruto line is pretty amazing, some dbz figures are great…but overall, I only get black series figures now because I wanna play with my toys. I got both figma guts so thankfully im good
Well, there goes my preorder desposit. The struggle never stops
This one hurts. I was really looking forward to these berserk figures. Fortunately, I have the Figma versions. I'd love to collect more figures, but the poor quality of most releases i'm interested in has pushed me away from toys.
“But keep watching because I need to feed my family” lmaoooo
I waited to watch this because i had a bad feeling, im glad I was right
It's insane that the Figmas from like 10 years ago are superior to these brand new figures. I like the Figmas but there was definitely room for improvement, but man looks like I'm keeping them until another company picks up the license.
Would you recommend buying a Figma Griffith now? I found one for 150 he’s just 20 dollars more than the Figuarts version
@@INK-MONO I think it's best to watch some video reviews before making a decision. I think he's good, but he doesn't come with a horse and I don't think I would personally shell out $150 for him.
@@lcrawfo2
Thank you
I’ve watched some videos and I think both look good. I just like the Figma’s head sculpt more. I’ll see if I can find a better deal for the Figma version if not I’ll just get the Figuarts one instead
I think the face is removable from the helmet so you can pose it as if he’s just holding the helmet
That makes sense
I wonder if the Guts Heat of Passion version will suck too? I really wanted it, but $130 is a lot for a plastic figure. Especially if it turns out like these.
I'll review it
I hope the full berserk armour guts will be better but I know it won't, bandi tend to keep figure lines the same style, like how the naurto and one piece figure are so different
idk i mean the studio pictures have decent posing so at least he'll be able to move? fingers crossed🤞
Now, I am glad I waited.
Hope he does the Figma Samus from Metroid Dread soon. I like the figure but mine ended up having a shallow shoulder socket so the arm will consistently pop out when you move it too far even when the joint is heated up. The paint is a bit sloppy too which I haven’t seen any reviewer bring up.
Very soon
I guess I just got lucky with mine
What the hell ever happened to Japanese quality?
This figure retails for $145!
Getting too many licenses and making too many figures. Quantity dilutes quality.. or maybe they figure out how to weaponize influencers to sell garbage to their fans.. for every honest review there is 10 shill/dishonest ones saying the figure is amazing and a must buy lol.
Yeah, I'm done with this line. Canceled my Griffith preorder this morning, and sent Guts back for a refund. Guts was awful in hand with all the parts popping off and the loose joints.
You can take the cape off without any damage. The horse was advertised as a statue so should not come as a surprise, although I understand the need for articulation.
a statue should look good. if it looked good, the lack of articulation wouldnt have mattered nearly as much
At first I thought you were picky in regards to Guts figure but as soon as mine arrived I realised you're spot on. Don't get me wrong 'cause I still made some very nice pictures but it took me a while to pose the figure. It's very difficult to do that.
It’s crazy the figma one you reviewed 8 Years ago is way better than
Agreed
I honestly feel bad for all of those people who sold their Figma Berserk figures to buy these crappy SH Figuarts versions. My Guts figure is brittle as hell straight broken out of the box.
Lmao that score
It is not possible that the horse is not articulated until the nendoroid link horse has its joint 😯
Bandai knows how to make well articulated armored figures, and they've been doing it for years. Shf kamen rider figures are usually very good especially shinkocchou seihou figures. I do not know why they can't translate some of those design aspects to beserk figures.
SHF Madara while his armor sacrifices articulation he looks great and doesn't fall apart as easily
The last SH Figure/Monsterarts I bought were Godzilla and Kong, it's a shame that their quality hasn't changed and is still awful. Thank God for Figma and Hiya. The SH Monsterarts Mecha King Ghidorah looks cool, but I ain't taking a chance with them again because of their poor quality, lack of accessories, and ridiculous prices.
MKG is phenomenal
@@happymoomoocow Is it? It looks awesome and I've seen positive reviews, but I don't wanna take a chance spending that much for a figure unless I know it's totally worth it.
@@KingEgyptianAnything Heisei and Showa Era is great, it’s the modern CGI stuff they tend not to care about (except the terrible anime Godzilla which is one of the best figures they’ve made)
@@happymoomoocow That's really good to know, thank you. I've always wanted a King Ghidorah figure, so I might go back and give that figure another look.
I feel you man, I am angry with this figure as well...
btw, the cape should be removable, what an awful quality control man....
The hair looks like birthday cake icing…
Was holding out hope for this figure, after getting Guts and then hearing in the comments from someone on your Guts review that Griffith was better. Honestly glad my preorder is still pending because I can now cancel it knowing I dodged another god awful release from Bandai. I'll stick with my Figmas i guess until another company gets the berserk license in another decade lol
I don’t know what’s going on with S.H. Figuarts lately. Both Berserk figures they have made have been mediocre to awful, their Green Goblin has a greasy mustache, and their recent Batman was so bad that you can get it significantly cheaper than retail now.
“GRIFFITH!!!!”
At the 3:00 mark I thought it was a cake check under the cape lol
Holy lord, watching Griffith destroy himself throughout the video made me cancel my pre-order twice lol! This is the type of toy that will remain on Amazon and other stores for years and will probably be heavily discounted next Black Friday. Even at a discounted price of $70, the frustration of failing to have Griffith keep intact probably won't be worth it still. This review saved me money that will go to better toys. I love Berserk, but the Figuarts version isn't a priority anymore!
They already are messing up on the main characters..how tf are people going to want to continue on with the line?? Really hope they step it the f up with a black swordsman arc guts and a golden age griffith. So we can have decent figures of the two.. crazy as hell how much they charged for these too.
"BUT ANTHONY ALL THOSE OTHER CHANNELS SAID THE BERSERK FIGURES ARE GODLIKE! HOW CAN IT BE BAD"
You'd think with all their experience with making those newer Saint Seiya action figures, that Bandai would much better at making dudes in big armor with cloth capes. What the heck is going on over there???
Did other reviewers actually say these are good?
@@AnthonysCustoms Well I watched Mecha Gakiotsu and the title for his review is even called "The Perfect Berserk Action Figure" so I'm not sure to be honest. And based on other reviews, people seem less negative which is confusing because a lot of the issues you've pointed out look like legit deal breakers
@@cptwigglefuffle Mecha hasn't collected figures that isn't kits or just robots figures in general before reviewing that Guts so he was pretty naive.
Honestly, I thought that these new s.h. figuarts berserk figures would be a better replacement of figma figures, but they are actually worse for unknown reason! And so I'm very glad I have figma versions. I can only imagine how bad berserker armor Guts will be at that pace. Just what's going on with s.h. figuarts nowadays?)
Soo painful. I feel the frustration.
That's too bad... I rather like mine. It's a beautiful figure. I think he's a bit harsh cuz Guts left a bad taste in his mouth. But Anthony bashing on figures is always entertaining😂 BTW, face plate is obviously removable so he can carry the helmet. If you're on the fence check out some other reviews and decide.
Can you tell me something I said that isn't accurate?
@@AnthonysCustomsWho's to say what is accurate or not? These are all opinions. Where you find fault I may be willing to overlook and vice versa. I still say it's a beautiful figure. Don't get me wrong. I love your videos and respect your opinion.
I never trust an articulated figure if the promotional pictures are just the figure standing, specially with brands like Bandai, Figma or Mafex.
Welp, no SH figuarts Berserk figures for me. Just great, thanks for nothing Bandai.
Maybe somehow they turn it around for the full armor guts
I have a couple figma guts and I was planning on buying the Griffith SH figuarts, but seeing the review, I'll hold on, seems like if you're not into dragon ball is better to keep away from SH figuarts...
the naruto ones are nice and i love my chainsaw man. my amazing spider-man i pretty great too.
This is getting depressing. What it God’s name is happening to this industry? It’s bad enough that Hasbro and McFarlane are cutting so many corners that we’re left with circles, but now we’re getting crap like this from S.H. Figuarts?!?
Fr. To this day the only McFarlane figure I have is the Knightfall Batman. While it’s certainly not perfect, it’s the only figures he’s made that I was impressed enough to buy. It really is a shame because I would love to get more DC characters to pair with Batman, but the figures and character selections just aren’t great. At least Bats can stand on his own I guess.
They know they have a monopoly can popular characters so they dont put in effort. Thankfully there is third party
@Mattyboy-dn4oo I have She Spawn and the 89 Batmobile with matching Batman from Amazon. I'm very happy with those. Otherwise I think his figures desperately need the proportions tweaked and I think all his Supermans look bad lol
@@gloving4hire That’s a big part of the problem. Exclusive licenses suck. Sure, there’s competition from imports and other domestic lines that hold different licenses or the same licenses for different scales, but it’s not the same.
I think we’re nearing the end of mass market retail action figures lines anyway, at least those aimed at adult collectors. You can see from the clearance sales and overstock at discount outlets that more and more collectors don’t feel like they’re getting enough value for their money. Even the IPs are losing value. I think the landscape will look a lot different 3-5 years from now with more, but smaller companies producing less, but better figures.
@@dblock2829Yea, the proportions for his figures are all over the place. I also wish they had more defined musculature. The Hush Batman just looks so weird with the flat arms and doughy legs. I’m also don’t like how he cuts joints. I feel like this line does things just to be “different” but it’s just not executed well. I’m looking forward to the new Wonder Woman but I’ve yet to see a good Superman from them.
4:00 what's wrong with your faaaaace!? I thought this was meant to be Griffith before he became a monster. This flaming ship of a line is one boat Guts won't be getting off of...
Thank goodness for garbage figures, they make for really entertaining videos 😂
If i got this i 100% would think i got a bootleg looool
I bought this figure knowing it’d be a piece of junk without even seeing a single review, and I am still disappointed in it. What a disservice to Berserk fans lol. Can’t even get a centered faceplate-at least Guts LOOKS like Guts.
On an unrelated note, have you ever reviewed any of the Bring Arts figures? Their Cloud Strife figure just released, and that might actually be one of the worst figures I’ve ever purchased. It feels like an AliExpress bootleg-but I digress lol. As always, great video, Anthony!
I was looking forward to those Bring Arts FFVII figures and then I watched a review. I already knew there was an extreme lack of accessories, but even the articulation is horrific. It wouldn't be that bad if it only cost like $50 but they're asking $130!!!
@@lcrawfo2
That’s my opinion as well, except I have the word “SUCKER” written in bold font on my forehead and bought Cloud already having nothing but bad experiences with Bring Arts. Loose wrists, bad articulation, and no accessories for a $100+ premium. That’s just crazy.
I own the entire FF9 line as well, and it’s nothing but loose joints and thrown-together engineering-and the worst part is Cloud doesn’t even SCALE WITH THEM! Zidane’s head is like the size of Cloud’s entire torso.
I haven't reviewed the bring arts but i do have the ff7 ones pre-ordered
@@AnthonysCustoms I'd love to see you tear apart those figures.... verbally, I mean. 😅
That final pose :D
Has this guy ever liked figure? I have this figure and I love it.
1. Reviews aren't about what is liked but what is good. 2. This figure is trash and almost no one likes it. You liking it is great for you but irrelevant to everyone else. That's why reviews are based on objective qualities rather than personal taste
@@AnthonysCustoms Lol you cant be objective about action figures. Keep looking for ways to validate your loser lifestyle. Your channel is not objective. It's a basement nerd talking trash about toys. Keep acting like you're some skilled specialist. Most people like this figure look at the reviews. Pretty much everywhere shows at least 4 out of 5 stars
Yeah this makes me glad I mostly only buy Kamen Rider sh figuarts, at least those are consistently really good (9/10 times anyway).
Im planing to buy this but after i watch this video it change my mind
Welp never bought any of shf berserk figures and maybe never will.. Im just gonna wait Dasin Model or even VToys or other 3rd party companies from 5k Toys. Really hoping they will because Figma pricing just hard to justify for a figure. Do you even review some 3rd party toys? If you can, just maybe, try VToys Knight of War and I was thinking it's a good base for guts body with a tweak ofc. Fully armored yet well articulated. Don't have the figure but just saw the review and I'm amazed how well made but yet the price is around $50 to $70. Thanks for the info again Anthony and you saved my money again 🤣🤣🤣
Do you think the Berserk figures belong in the trash? 15:40 also swearing moment!
It handles like a bootleg Revoltech oh my god...
Two almost 20 minute reviews, back to back? You're spoiling us Anthony!
Tis the season
Oh, that figure is rough.
Inexcusable lack of quality for the price tag. Oh Bandai, how the mighty have fallen...great review.
I’m so glad I cancelled my pre order on these. Although I did use the money to buy the PBandai android 17 & 18 I think they’re better than how Griffith and Guts came out 😂
Seriously? No articulation for the horse?? Even the Nendoroid BOTW Link and Zelda's horses had articulation!
Tamashii Nations Quality 🎉🎉 gotta love it 😂
NO WAY I heard you cus 😂😂
Strange, I can disconnect gold leafs on my Griffith to take off the cape.
I was really hoping for this guy to be good but now I'm really disappointed. I was hoping to hold out hope for the Berserker Armour guts getting released next year to be better, but now that seems unlikely. If they release Shierke and Zodd they might be better, the jonts on zodd looked good and shierke looked eh.
Spot on Ratings!😂👍👍👍👍👍👍
Aaaand Anthony finally lost it lol @14:28
GRIFFIIIIIIITH!!!!!!
Honestly, just buy the figma pieces at this point. They may be old, but the plastic quality is worth twice of these figures.
Man, SH Figuarts must really hate the Berserk franchise
Honestly if i had this figure (not in a million years) i would stick with the helmet head just to avoid dealing with those annoying looking side hair pieces.
For sure
Thank you for saving me quite a lot of money. Soft sculpt, lacking paint, falls apart if you look at it wrong, weird design (the spurs!). The horse manages to be look even cheaper than the McFarlane horses for their Witcher or The Dark Knight series. It'd be barely acceptable for Bandai's cheap "Anime Heroes" line
What happened to SH Figuarts?! ☹
Man, it's a shame that you aren't a Kamen Rider fan, cause those, I think, are the best figuarts that Bandai can offer.
At least they aren't like this garbage anime figures that they're putting out recently
I’ve said it before, but it’s still weird to me seeing how much of quality difference there is between their Kamen Rider/Toku line and basically everything else. They put so much love & care into Rider and all the other lines don’t get anywhere near the same amount effort, not even Dragon Ball comes close to the kinda stuff Kamen Rider is putting out, plus most of the issues people complain about are non-existent on the Rider stuff.
@@justicemagnum5242 Totally agree with you.
Hopefully someone someday send a Kamen Rider figuarts to Anthony so he can fall in love again with this brand.
The figma one from 2010 looks like abetter figure overall
It is
Never been into anime but you got a view.
You said you get rid of ones you don’t want soo I’ll take him and guts
Ngl i was gonna buy this because i'm not a professional collector but i love griffith himself.Kinda sad:(
They can’t possibly fuck up Schierke… right?
I was able to find the new Kiao-Ken 180000 Goku at one of my local Walmarts, and hoping you get your hands on it for a review great vid shameless Griffith ❤
I'm hoping i find one to review soon
@@AnthonysCustoms crossing fingers you do 🤞🏾
Jesus….. And here I was hoping the same thing as you hoping this would be mildly if not much better than Guts…. It’s truly sad that third-party companies like the ones working on Warcraft figures put so much attention to detail and care and Bandai cant be bother to give a fuck about one of the greatest and most prolific Mangas properties in existence. This should be easy money for them……
In my years of collecting, if the promo images have a figure standing a lot with minimal action poses then it probably has terrible articulation.
Yep
ELF DIMENSION STYLE
These were gonna be my reintroduction to action figure collecting. Guess not. That sucks.
Wow!!!!That saves me money.🏦😅
Top 10 worst figures is gonna be interesting this year
What's going on? How can they do Naruto justice and crap on both One Piece and Berserk? 😢
Ok.. so you dont know how to manipulate the figure😅... Its not a bad figure at all, you didnt understand how it works... Even tho i think that it's a really expensive figure for what is it... This needs a release without the horse
You got me. I don't know how action figures work. I am new to collecting and such. I didn't explain every joint or anything like that or even show that the promo images demonstrate virtually no possibility. You figures me out.
@@AnthonysCustoms well for example.. you didnt know that you can put in and out the pegs for the cape.. that didnt come with Qc.. and you manipulated the figure in a rough way.. it's an action figure, not a toy..Please don't take it as a lack of respect towards you or your channel, i really like your content, and yes the figure has it's problems, but it's not that bad as you say... I didnt buyed it but i had one in hand.. the same for the Guts... The only opinión that i share with you on this ones are that are really expensives for what they are..
👍
I'm so glad I canceled this after the guts review and sold my guts figure. I feel like I dodged a bullet.
I woke up and was happy to see a review on Griffith, since I bought him as a present for myself......and he's a pile of garbage, great. Well at least I have the figma Guts/Griffith. Took a chance on griffy but knew Guts was a p.o.s at first glance with those silverback gorilla arms.
Let me grab my popcorn 🍿 for this review..
I think Four Horsemen could have done better Berserk figures. I know they don’t do anime/manga figures but sword and sorcery are their bread and butter. They do a great job with their horses too.
Has he reviewed the new 3.0 ss goku?
No
Waiting for it to come in
@@AnthonysCustoms currently waiting on him, meta cooler, and figma dread samus to come in.
Remember when people thought that they would make better figures than the figmas? That makes me depressed…
I already wasn’t gonna get this figure because Griffith did everything wrong, ironic to see the company did everything wrong with the figure
shills: "griffith and bandai did nothing wrong"
