Griffith is finally getting the S.H.Figuarts treatment, and Bandai took the character's design seriously enough to build the figure from the inside out. Confirmed via Tamashii Nations' official product page cross-referenced with Toy People and Essential Japan's coverage, S.H.Figuarts Griffith (The Band of the Hawk) recreates Berserk's central antagonist as a roughly 15.5cm figure with a sculpt developed from a skeletal structure to achieve natural, anime-accurate posing.
Berserk figures at this level of detail don't come around often outside of statues, so a mainline S.H.Figuarts release of Griffith himself, rather than a side character, is a genuine event for the manga and anime's collector base.
Here's what's confirmed about the figure, what's included, and a note on a release-timing discrepancy worth knowing about before you order.
Tamashii Nations' official listing, cross-referenced with Toy People and Essential Japan, confirms the following:
Rather than starting from the outer silhouette and working inward, Bandai's design team built this figure's base structure first, the same way an artist might block in a skeleton before adding muscle and clothing. The goal is a figure that holds dynamic poses convincingly rather than looking stiff in anything other than a straight standing position, which matters for a character as visually iconic in motion as Griffith is across Berserk's various animated adaptations.
The figure ships with several interchangeable facial parts, letting collectors switch between Griffith's more composed public expression and the colder, more calculating look he's known for in the manga's darker arcs. His helmet and signature sword round out the included accessories, giving displayers the option to pose him either bare-headed or fully armored.
Tamashii's own listing and most retailers point to a July 2026 window for this figure, consistent with the broader wave of S.H.Figuarts releases hitting that month. At least one import retailer, however, lists the figure with a September 2026 ship estimate instead. Import shipping timelines for Tamashii-exclusive figures often shift by a month or two depending on the retailer's allocation and customs process, so treat July as the officially listed window and September as a possible, retailer-specific delay rather than a confirmed date.
Griffith's included helmet, sword, and swappable face plates all add pieces that are easy to misplace or scuff if the figure goes straight to an open shelf.
For keeping the figure itself protected and dust-free at this roughly 6-inch scale, EVORETRO's acrylic case for 6-inch figures is a close scale match, though it's worth double-checking Griffith's exact footprint against the case dimensions before ordering, since this isn't a dedicated Figuarts-branded case.
For posing Griffith in a more dynamic stance rather than a static base, EVORETRO's articulated figure stands give the skeletal-structure sculpt's posing range a stable way to stay displayed.
Tamashii's official listing points to July 2026, though at least one import retailer lists a September 2026 ship estimate.
12,100 yen, approximately $81 USD.
Multiple interchangeable facial parts, his helmet, and his sword.
It was built from the skeletal structure up rather than from the outer silhouette, aimed at more natural posing alongside anime-accurate proportions.
S.H.Figuarts Griffith gives Berserk collectors a genuinely detailed mainline figure of one of the series' most iconic and complicated characters, backed by a sculpting approach built around posing quality rather than just likeness. With a July release window officially listed and at least one retailer pointing later, it's worth confirming shipping timing with your specific retailer before counting on a particular delivery date.
Keeping the included accessories organized and giving the figure a stable, protected display setup makes it easier to enjoy the improved posing range this sculpt was actually built for.
