I'm still a little in shock that i was able to finally get one of these. One of the nicest figures i've ever laid my eyes upon.The attention to detail is stagering. The packing is also among the nicest i've seen on any scale. Wish the pics were better but des all i got, hope you like.

I have that one too. I love it. Just be careful of the metal arm when twisting it. There's a very thin piece if plastic that holds it in place and breaks very easily. I had to super glue mine back into place.

How much did you pay?

Dang, I want one. The only thing that bugs me is that his arms are waaaay too skinny, but other than that..

I bought one of those a few years ago and tried to use a Hot Toys Muscle body instead of the regular Dragon body...sadly...it didn't work :( :(

It's a great figure though - I love that character and it's seriously a beauty...in fact, I'm going to be making a custom "Futuristic Guts" wearing a set of KUSA armor soon :D :D

I bought it from treasure island toys

The regular hand on mine broke, but i fixed it better than before or so i think.

How much did you pay? cost me $109 Cdn

I was gonna do the same but decide against, was too afraid i'd screw it up.

To any one else who bought one, any tip to get the angry head on? I've tried but to no avail, it refuses to snap into place.

It's actually not that bad - http://www.tisinc99.com/ber010123.html - considering it's limited to less than 1,000 pieces and is only selling for $85, I'd consider it a deal - especially since the original price was $250 (which is what I bought mine for two+ years ago :()

I got mine from a boardee here for $60.00. It's a great figure. I wonder how the Medicom 301 bodies would work for him. Hmm.....

$109.00 CDN's a great price. $60.00 US is even better. My price was better (free). ;) It was supposed to be my final review when I was the Toys Editor at PCS/Buzzscope, but the site closed up shop before I could get it up. Shortly after that, I quit. I apologized to my contact at Yamato and even offered to send it back but they said no.

And how to replace the swappable heads, it takes patience. You should see a small notch on the back of the neck peg - that has to line up with the notch inside the head. Just squeeze his head and pop it into place. It took me a couple of tries to get it right.

Is this the best fig' of Guts?

crowinghorse
11-28-2007, 02:20 PM
not in my opinion - it's WAY out of proportion regarding the body...but it's the ONLY version of Guts in 1:6 scale mass produced... :(

The best all-around Guts figure is the Guts: Black Swordsman Millennium Falcon - you can normally find it on ebay for around $20 or so and there's actually a seller on ebay now who's listing it for less than $20 (see here - http://cgi.ebay.com/Art-of-War-Berserk-Black-Swordsman-Millennium-Falcon_W0QQitemZ150188104026QQihZ005QQcategoryZ99992QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem )

I bought one from them (my 8th variant of this particular figure) and it arrived with a bent card, but overall the figure was perfect inside...

Hey Jess, have you tried swapping the existing body with a Medicom 301 Massive body?

As nice as the 12 incher is i would have to agree with you on the smaller version. I have 2 of them(calm and angry head) The small one just doesn't quite have the wow of the 12 inch one though. I really wish i could get ahold of the Hawk commander version, I've been trying for some time now, but had no luck yet.

There's a cursed armor version too right? That one looks awesome. But it's also the priciest.

crowinghorse
11-28-2007, 07:22 PM
the cursed armor version is a PVC statue, NOT an action figure...

And I didn't try the Medicom body, only the Hot Toys muscular body...but I also sold off the figure for parts and made most of my money back -

The Yamato looks great, but I don't get it, is it for 0.99$?:confused:

Yeah that was the PVC statue of Guts in the berserkers armor. I also believe that there are serveral other stautues of him wearing it. Go to http://www.art-of-war.co.jp/english/items/list.php?gid=1 to check them out.

In volume #25, he gets the Berserker Cursed armor and goes freakin' nutso...

And the figure is .99 cents in the auction, but shipping is like $17.?? which makes up for it...

Yea, so really it's more or less the same price anyway...
Darn people who up the shipping price.

Ok - so I decided to give Guts the 1:6 scale "KUSA Kustomization" and deck him out in futuristic sci-fi armor...
I picked up this figure for $77 delivered off of eBay - thanks for bringing this bad boy back into my life... ;) :D
