Question about Houma Locus statue

[jang jin wook]

Hello everyone, I have a question about the Art of War product.

I have a Locus Blood figure from the "Art of War" series. The nameplate says "Character Art," but there's no serial number. Does anyone know when this figure was released? I don't know how to post a picture, so I'll explain in words. The nameplate says "CHARACTER ART Berserk Exhibition II, 2010."

Hi,

From your description, it appears to be an exhibition model that was part of this set of statues by AOW: 『放魔』-新鷹の団使徒-限定版4体セット
It's their product #199 if you need a reference, and was sold for 139,027 yen at the time. Here is our thread about it from 2009. That Locus statue was later sold on its own for 29,945 yen as product #202: 「放魔」ロクス

The one you have is unnumbered because it was displayed in a space (likely as a form of advertisement) instead of being offered to customers. My guess is it was sold at a discount when that display period ended. I don't recall any Berserk exhibition taking place at the time, so it was likely something very minor, possibly even just a showcase within Art of War's own store.

Thank you! I'm sorry I can't show you the photos because I don't know how to upload them. I was really curious about where this product came from because I didn't have enough information. Thank you!

While looking for plaque information, I came across this information in Aazealh's previous comment. I thought it might be related to this exhibition. Thank you for the information.
