Options for a 28 mm miniature of GUTS from BERSERK manga
« on: 08 February 2014, 12:19:24 PM »
I am browsing constantly numerous miniatures producers, but nothing come close to my favorite manga character - Guts from Berserk. Please, help me find any proxy metal miniature in 28 mm scale, close enough to make him live on the wargaming table. Here are some examples of Guts' appearance.

Reaper minis are likely to be your best choice, but can't think of any personally, especially not with that huge sword.

I'm going to guess you're going to need to kit bash that one...medieval pants/legs/cyber arm...huge silly sword.  Unless someone makes a range of anime characters, it's going to end up being a kit bash I'd guess.  Any of the clix games have any Final Fantasy style minis?

I think there is a Kingdom Death model who is a kind of pastische of Guts. They also do Link, but female, I think? May also be bigger than 28mm, maybe even 35. It might be worth checking out, though.

Agree that a kit bash will probably be required here.

The sword doesn't seem to difficult to do up though.

Thanks for suggestions, folks!
Actually I have browsed Reaper's catalogue for a long time, but nothing close there.

..and the arm is actually not cybernatic, but nonetheless contains hand cannon! :-* Also the metal hand (without the cannon) was inspired by Götz von Berlichingen's metal hand:

I can.  This figure would be an obvious choice for conversion, and is available in both metal and Bones plastic:

That's the one I was also going to propose. New from Klukva Miniatures, just received their news a couple of days ago. Almost looks like a perfect match!

Well not that I went searching for it. TMP had a post.
But even besides that Driller already posted the link more than 12 hours ahead of me. :-)
Good find Driller.
