March 2026 Loot

 

Relatively modest, but still a sumptuous haul this month! While the overall net value might be a bit lower than previous months, this batch is packed with bargains. Most of the loot consists of brick models and model kits, with a few filler items scattered throughout.

The highlight of this month’s haul is no doubt Berserk's Figma Skull Night, easily surpassing the value of much of the rest of the batch by more than tenfold. Following closely are the Hexagear V-Thors variant in second place and Moderoid Arklaud rounding out the top three.

The brick model section is especially diverse this time. I managed to pick up a promising playset from the Bebe series by Top Toy, along with some Wekki Shop playsets. Against my own resolution, I couldn’t resist to obtain some few new additions for Super Mecha Champions Qbricks, seems I’m still attached to the SMC series after all. I also finally added some F5 Brick models to my collection, featuring mini transformable military vehicle mecha. While I had the chance to grab the Four Divine Beast brick models, I’ve decided to reserve those for another time.

Lastly, I scored some Treasure X items at an incredible rate—80% off, which is practically a steal! I’m still hoping to snag the larger Treasure X playset in the near future.

All in all, this month’s haul is solid, and I expect next month’s loot to lean even more toward the heavyweight collectibles. Still, this batch delivers plenty of variety and value to enjoy.

Berserk SHF Casca

 
 As Guts and Griffith got their Golden Age rendition of SHF, Casca obviously going to follow suit! I think it has been quite some time since Figma Casca got released and Bandai provided the much needed update. Scheduled for January 2026 release, SHF Casca will be sold for 11000 Yen Price tag.

Compared to other SHF lineup released in the same batch with, SHF Casca fall on the higher range of price tag likely due to the licensing cost. I don't think the incorporation of fabric parts in SHF Casca would inflate the price tag considering Casca's accesories in SHF rendition are rather modest. Compared to her old Figma counterpart, SHF Casca looks closer to her anime rendition. The only thing that is a slight miss is her battle expression which can look rather derpy. SHF Casca definitely will complement well with SHF Guts or Griffith for Berserk fans to relive the Band of the Hawks day. Considering Bandai is quite extensive in creating their Berserk Library, I am quite sure that God Hands will likely be getting some SHF/Figuarts rendition considering it has been quite some time since the Figma came up. 

Berserk SHF Nosferatu Zodd

 Just after GSC announced Figma Skull Knight Preorder, Bandai Tamashi Nation soon followed up with their continuation of SHF Berserk Lineup as a counterattack which is no other than Nosferatu Zodd! After a very long time, One of the coolest Rival antagonist that ever graced Berserk series finally had its Physical representation as SHF. Scheduled for April 2025 release, SHF Zodd will be sold for 13500 Yen.

Coming in his Golden era version, SHF Zodd is armed with a pair of Cleaver and Battle Axe as his weapon of choice. Among many Apostles that Guts faced. Zodd was rather special case  have some sense of honor as a warrior and as  not particular bore any ill-will toward his enemies.  I thought Zodd's weapon getup would be the pair of Kushan Blades, but I guess my memory did elude me as his default weapon. SHF Zodd do stand few centimeters tall compared to SHF Guts which do explain his above 10000 Yen Price tag. Regardless SHF Zodd will be a great addition for Berserk Fans to pair with Figma Skull Knight or SHF Guts. This one will even look good with Pop Up Parade Zodd despite version differences or one could go with the Prime One if they have the money to spare. Given most of the Famous berserk characters got their Action figure turn, I wonder which ones will be next. I would say Farnese and Serpico do have a good shot as well as Casca, if Bandai or GSC interested to explore her variants.

Berserk Figma Skull Knight

 A long due merchandise for one of the popular characters in Berserk! Took more than a decade but we Finally got a Figma for Skull Knight complete with regular and DX version. Scheduled for July 2025 release, Figma Skull Knight will be sold for 13800 Yen and 19800 Yen respectively, gotta pick the DX version if you want the Skull Knight's warhorse.

Skull Knight Figma was quite a big deal because he is one of the character that never get a Figma despite Max Factory take on Guts and Griffith many times. Heck even the Godhand Figfix was released 8 years ahead than Skull Knight. Despite its scary appearance, Skull Knight is one of the most powerful supporting character that helped Guts many times notably from the horrific events of the Eclipse. Skull Knight is just that badass of character because He will give make any regular Apostles shat their pants if they ever forced to fight against him. While his backstory is not fully revealed even after Miura Sensei's passing, Skull Knight appear to have personal vendetta against Godhands especially Void due to some event related to the fall of Ancient Gaiseric Empire. 

Despite there are some premium collectibles for Skull Knight already, Figma Skull Knight is definitely the best rendition for his playable version and his horse appear to have some posability unlike SHF Griffith. As a parting here is the parts details for DX version of Figma Skull Knight.

Jan 2024 Loot

 First loot of the year and we already seen some heavy duty stuff! As some of the more expensive preorders of Mine have arrived around the same time. Overall another Top Tier haul this time that have balance of Chinese and Japanese made products. The best of the haul is no doubt the Metal Build Sirbine and Myethos 1/7 Skadi Alter though I would favor Myethos Skadi because the value for money is simply a tie breaker! Not even Phat 1/7 Scathach-Skadi Box size came close with her Arknights counterpart despite the price difference are not that significant. By this time Joytoy Warhammer had become a regular part of my hauls and my set collection become more complete than ever. But Skitarii Marshal probably stick out the most since I never consider to collect Mechanicus faction before until I got Tan'Gida Skitarii Marshall in Warhammer Tacticus. Lastly I finally got my SHF Griffith which will complement well with SHF Guts that came earlier and I would like to see if Griffith's horse is on par with Lartoria's Dun Stallion.

Berserk SHF Guts the Black Swordsman

  Even after the mangaka's passing, Berserk series still remain to have the strong following and in turn after years of drought for Merchandise, Tamashi Nation decided to enter with a bang by announcing releaase for SHF Guts and Griffith. This great news certainly a blessing for the fans considering the price of Figma Guts are kinda insane nowadays in the aftermarket. SHF Guts will be scheduled for September 2023 release with 10500 Yen price tag.

 The version of Black Swordsman Guts that Bandai make is the version which Guts got some armor upgrade by Godot after his journey of slaying apostles with Dragonslayer and I believed GSC didn't make the figma of this version for some reason. While the pricing is quite high for SHF, I think the quality for SHF Guts will not disappoint considering Bandai is well reputed for the articulation of their Action figures and SHF Guts comes with generous amount of accessories. The only concern would be the Dragon Slayer to be rather heavy making the poses rather limited though the figma had the same issue as well apparently. Personally I am not the biggest of Berserk series, but Bandai's SHF Guts and Griffit sure worth the hype.
