The Guts: The Mercenary Collectible Figure by Kyoto Figure is up for pre-order now. It’s a Berserk figure of Guts in his mercenary years, priced at $300 and expected to ship between December 2026 and February 2027. I’ll be honest: the era it picks is the reason I stopped scrolling.
Guts: The Mercenary Collectible Figure by Kyoto Figure is a 1:6 scale PVC and ABS figure of Guts from Kentaro Miura’s Berserk. It is the first release from Kyoto Figure’s new ULTIMODE brand and the first entry in a planned three-figure series that follows Guts’s growth. It costs $300, is limited to one per person and is expected to ship from December 2026 to February 2027.
Why the Mercenary Era Is the Right Opening Move
Most Guts figures go straight for the Berserker Armor or the Black Swordsman cloak, because that’s the cover art everyone knows. Kyoto Figure starts earlier, with the young sellsword who hasn’t lost his eye or his arm yet and still thinks a sword and a paycheck are enough. Opening a three-figure series here is a storyteller’s choice, not a merchandiser’s, and I respect that. The official copy says his gaze looks “firmly towards the future,” which is a little bittersweet if you know where his story goes next.
Sculpt Volume at 25 Centimeters
At 9.8 inches (25 cm) tall, 6 inches (15 cm) wide and 4 inches (10 cm) deep, the footprint is compact for 1:6 scale. That fits a younger Guts, who should read as wiry and stubborn, not the slab of muscle and plate he turns into later. The narrow depth also tells me the pose stays fairly upright and grounded, with no giant sweeping sword arc eating up shelf space. Keep in mind the photos show a prototype, so the final production piece may look a little different.
Paint, Materials and the Benchmark Question
The figure mixes PVC and ABS, which is standard for this price and usually means softer PVC for cloth and skin with stiffer ABS holding the structure. The real test for any Berserk piece is whether the paint can carry Miura’s grit, the scuffed leather and the dull steel, without turning everything muddy. Prime 1 Studio’s Berserk statues are the reference I keep in my head, and they cost many times more than this. If ULTIMODE gets even part of the way there at $300, that’s a serious first showing for a brand nobody had heard of a few months ago.
The Trilogy Problem
Announcing a three-part arc with your very first product is a promise, and collectors will hold Kyoto Figure to it. Nothing about the second or third figures has been announced yet, so I’m treating this one as a standalone until we see more. We’ll update this when the next ULTIMODE entry is revealed.

The Collector’s Survival Guide: How to Justify This
The Collector Math: Guts once took on a hundred soldiers by himself. At $300, that’s three dollars a soldier, and he brings his own sword. Even Griffith never got a rate like that.
How to tell your wife: Babe, when Guts joined the Hawks, Casca couldn’t stand him, and she still ended up falling for him. He ships by February, so you’ve got about three months to come around. Casca needed a Hundred-Year War.
How to tell your parents: Dad, you always told me not to just follow my friends around and to find my own dream. Guts walked away from Griffith, the most famous man in Midland, to do exactly that. Mine is $300 and comes with a sword.
How to tell your kids: Guts only joined the Band of the Hawk because Griffith beat him in a duel, and he only got out by winning one. Same rule for this shelf: if you want to touch him, you have to beat me first. It’s a staring contest, and I don’t blink.
The mercenary-era pick alone makes this the most interesting Guts on pre-order right now, and the one-per-person limit says Kyoto Figure isn’t planning a flood. If the final paint holds up next to the prototype, $300 for a 1:6 scale opening chapter is a fair ask, and I’m watching how the next two figures land.
