Every Berserk fan recognizes the infamous Griffith, especially in the most poignant moments of his rebirth as Femto ing the God Hand, but a new statue looks to add the memory of his emergence to collectors' shelves, too. Courtesy of PRIME 1 STATUE and hosted on prime1studio.com, dedicated Berserk fanatics can seize the moment immortalized as the cover of volume #12, and it's available on preorder for the hefty price of $899. The statue features enormous amounts of detail and sports impressive heft at 46x44x39cm, with a bonus edition featuring the Crimson Behelit.

While it's a jarring moment that changes Berserk forever, it's also one of Griffith's most iconic scenes, and the artistic detail, enhanced with built-in LED lighting, makes this a sought-after treasure. Every intimate detail of Kentaro Miura's original artwork is viscerally realized here, down to the eerie wings of his new Femto form, and the shattered, massive Behelit-like shell. The creepiest aspect is certainly the bonus Behelit, resembling its most cohesive shape the moment the Eclipse began that changed the lives of a shattered Griffith and what would remain of his Band of the Hawk forever in Berserk.

Griffith's Transformation Into One of Anime's Worst Villains Is Recreated Perfectly

The Birth of the Fifth Blessed King

The emergence of Griffith, then dubbed Femto as the fifth member of the current God Hand in Berserk, is one of the most chilling in all anime and manga fandom due to the events soon to follow. Having transformed from his body left in its most pitifully low state, maimed and tortured beyond relief, this glimpse is the final shred of vulnerability captured perfectly by PRIME 1 STATUE. Given that the classic iteration of this moment is carefully drawn for volume #12, one of the best Berserk covers, it's unsurprising that it looks utterly perfect as a collection centerpiece.

Griffith's transformation into Femto changes Guts' life, alongside that of Casca and Rickert, but at a horrifying cost. After all, initiating the ritual that would reincarnate Griffith was a way for him to abandon all human inhibitions, and to spark the event, he was ready to sacrifice the entire Band of the Hawk for his ascension. If not for the Skull Knight's intervention and Guts' pure grit, there'd have been no survivors from the Eclipse, so this dark rebirth, immortalized in this Griffith statue, is one of the most ominous pieces of Berserk memorabilia around.
