Prime 1 Studio's chibi brand "Cutie1," known for reinterpreting various IP characters with a plush toy aesthetic, recently announced its latest release from "Berserk": the formidable Skull Knight! This figure will first be available for pre-sale on September 10th at "The Great Berserk Exhibition" in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, with a general release slated for November 2021.
In the world of "Berserk," the Skull Knight is an enigmatic figure who always appears like a whirlwind atop his jet-black steed, possessing unfathomable power. He not only foretold the coming of the "Eclipse" a year in advance to Guts and later rescued Guts and Casca from its deadly storm, but he has also repeatedly aided Guts and his companions. An old friend of Flora, the witch of the Spirit Tree Mansion, he is also the previous wearer of the "Berserker Armor." The Skull Knight even forged the Behelits he plundered from Apostles into the "Sword of Actuation," a blade capable of rending space and traversing different dimensions.
The "Cutie1 Skull Knight" stands approximately 12 cm tall. Based on the manga's design, this figure condenses the Skull Knight's intricate details into an adorable 2.5-head-tall chibi proportion. The silver armor, the spikes adorning his head and various parts of his body, the Sword of Actuation, and his shield are all meticulously recreated. The golden button eyes and mouth design are particularly striking, and the cape is sculpted to capture the texture of fabric with a dynamic, flowing movement. Overall, it's an incredibly appealing piece!
