Max Factory is releasing a new version of its POP UP PARADE L size figure of Guts wearing the Berserker Armor from the manga Berserk. The Bloody Paint Ver. adds blood splatter paint across the figure and the large sword Dragon Slayer, increasing the brutality of the design. The figure is based on the cover illustration of Volume 28 of the comics. It stands approximately 280mm tall including the vignette base. The blood is applied so heavily that it is unclear whether it comes from enemies or from Guts himself. The figure is scheduled for release in May 2027. The prototype was created by Hiroshi Yuasa of Max Factory, with coloring by Asuka Marunouchi. The price is 9,800 yen including tax. The distributor is Good Smile Company. The copyright line credits Kentaro Miura, Studio Gaga, and Hakusensha. This release follows a separate announcement from threezero, which is taking pre-orders for a Casca action figure from the Golden Age Arc, but the two products are distinct and not directly related.
- Bloody Paint Ver. is part of the POP UP PARADE L size series, which Max Factory positions as offering "new excitement to figure fans."
- The figure is a re-release of the existing Guts [Berserker Armor] L size sculpt, not a new mold.
- The blood-soaked look is meant to show Guts as a "true 'Berserker'" who has "exceeded human limits through the power of the armor."
- The vignette base is included in the 280mm height measurement.
- The source article is published under Dengeki Hobby Web's affiliate program, which earns revenue through links.
- The same outlet separately covers threezero's Casca (Golden Age) figure from the Band of the Hawk, a 1/6 scale action figure with about 44 points of articulation and an eye-movement gimmick using a proprietary multi-layer structure.
- Casca's deluxe edition adds a dungeon-themed display base and a lantern with LED light-up function, activated by a magnetic "Band of the Hawk badge" (batteries sold separately).
