Tsume unveiled their first Berserk piece yesterday, their HQS+ diorama of Apostle Zodd and Golden Age Guts/Griffith. I like the piece way more now than when they first showed the WIP sculpt, but I'm not gonna get it. Staying away from smaller scales for now, and I still have quite a few issues with the piece.
Guts portrait is excellent, while Griffith's leaves me wanting something, IMO it could be improved and I hope they do. Both of their movements are fantastic and is the highlight of the piece for me. Zodd superhero landing on the piece doesn't do much for me and I wish the fur texture would be a bit more subtle / refined, overall sculpt is looking really good though! I've never really liked pieces that can't be displayed on anything other than a pedestal in the middle of the room, but if you have that setup you'll get to put it to good use.

Here's the link to the pre-order page (some more pictures as well!)

Tsume has always had a very strange way of dealing with their pieces, they mix and match different materials like crazy, I'm not sure if it's more so for having it be cheaper to make or if it's to produce a better product. I've never liked how paint looks on PVC, it's always seemed more flat to me than it does on polystone, but I might just be outright wrong.

I think it's grossly overpriced compared to other statues, so I made a small comparison like the one I did for F4F's Guts piece (for completely different reasons though):

IMO it's especially egregious cause Prime1 has a more expensive paint app..
