Berserk Kits (last update: 12.12.11)

In case you're wondering what kits are... they're basically unassembled and unpainted statues.  They are usually created and sculpted by amateur artists that sell their models at hobby shows exclusive to Japan.  However, when I say "amateur", by no means am I implying that these kits are of lesser quality than "professional" models (such as Art of War).  This just means that they aren't mass produced and sold to a production company that can distribute to all parts of the world.

Thus, kits are in many ways much more valuable than pre-painted statues.  Most of the time, no more than 50-100 copies of each kit are made because the original artists usually don't have the time, money, or equipment to produce anymore.  Also, each mold made by the original sculpt will lose detail and pretty soon become unusable.  So, if you think about it, limited edition statues by Art of War usually number around 300 in the world, and are already insanely difficult to find.  Divide that number by 5, and that's how many kits exist... Pretty crazy huh?

Secondly, because kits require assembly and painting, the potential of a completed kit can surpass a pre-painted statue that is mass produced (even though several Art of War's statues are exceptionally painted).  The models can also be painted any way the owner pleases, making each and every completed kit a true one-of-a-kind item.

There is also something called a recast, which is an illegal copy of an original kit.  You can find these pretty easily and they are much cheaper.  But, just as the price suggests, they are cheaper in quality too.  Many of these recasts are Thai recasts, which are notorious for being even worse.  However, some recasts can be decent and some artists believe if done properly, a recast can even turn out better than an original if the original's casting was poor to begin with and was prepped and fixed up before recasting it.

However, in the case of Berserk, not even very many recasts exist either!  As far as what I know, 90% of all these kits you see on this page have never been recasted, thus only the original 50-100 of each kit exist.  Since I'm a collector, I only buy original authentic items, so all the kits you see on this page are the REAL thing!

 

 

My Completed Berserk Kits

I own many kits, but the majority of them have not yet been assembled and painted.  However, after a year of searching for that special someone (a masterful painter of course =P), I've finally found someone perfect for my kits!  His name is John Allred, and he is working on my Berserk kits exclusively.  Down below, you can check out all the amazing work he has done for me so far.  Also, make sure to keep checking back because new completed kits will be added to this page constantly!
