Japanese figure manufacturer MAX FACTORY has thrilled fans of Berserk with the announcement of their latest figma action figure: the enigmatic “Skull Knight.” This highly detailed figure comes in two versions—standard and DX—with the latter featuring a fully articulated war horse.

About Skull Knight:
Skull Knight is one of the most mysterious and powerful characters in the Berserk universe. Known for his otherworldly strength and cryptic nature, Skull Knight often appears at pivotal moments to aid the protagonist, Guts, particularly during the series’ darkest events. Clad in ominous armor that resembles a skeleton, and mounted on his black war horse, he wields the Beherit Sword—an imposing weapon forged from the Beherits of fallen Apostles, capable of slicing through dimensions.
Figure Details:
The “figma Skull Knight” stands approximately 17 cm (6.7 inches) tall and faithfully recreates the character’s imposing armor. The sculpting meticulously captures the details of Skull Knight’s skeletal helmet, spiked shoulder plates, and rib-like chest armor, as well as the muscular contours of his leg armor. The figure is finished with a heavy metallic paint application and battle-worn weathering to give it an authentic, lived-in look. Additionally, the figure includes a fabric cape, allowing for dramatic poses.
DX Version:
The DX version of the figma Skull Knight elevates the experience by including his iconic war horse, which measures approximately 23 cm (9 inches) in length. The war horse is adorned with detailed armor and a fabric cape to match its rider. The figure is highly poseable, with articulated legs and a support stand to ensure Skull Knight can be securely mounted for display. The DX version also includes the Beherit Sword, allowing fans to recreate Skull Knight’s most epic moments.
