## D20 Studio's Diablo Inspired Berserker Barbarian 1:12 Figure Review

**D20 Studio? Nightmare Studio? YFAT Studio? …Pick a Lane, Guys 😂**

Alright, let’s address the screaming demon skull on the belt right up front: *who actually made this thing?* Depending on the box, the retailer, or the YouTube review you watched at 2 a.m., this figure is credited to **D20 Studio**, **Nightmare Studio**, **YFAT Studio**, or some unholy chimera of all three. For the sake of sanity, I’ll just call it what most collectors seem to agree on:

**The 1:12 Barbarian Berserker (Diablo-inspired)**

And yes—this is very clearly riffing on the **Diablo Barbarian**, particularly the *Diablo III* aesthetic. Big muscles, brutal weapons, scars-for-days, and that perpetual “I solve problems with violence” energy.

### The Look: Conan’s Ugly Cousin (and I Mean That Lovingly)

Visually? This guy is a *beast*. Thick, chunky proportions. Gnarly scars carved into the face. A mane of wild hair and a beard that looks like it could hide snacks, secrets, and a small demon. The sculpting on the armor is genuinely impressive—especially the **demon-headed belt buckle** and the **demon-claw greaves**. They’re intricate, aggressive, and beautifully painted.

Image: A close-up of a fantasy barbarian-style action figure, oriented upright.

The figure is very muscular with tan skin and broad shoulders. It has long, wild white hair and a thick white beard. The face is sculpted with an intense, open-mouthed expression, as if shouting, with pale eyes.

Across the chest and shoulders are large gray-blue body markings/paint (tribal-style shapes). Around the neck is a necklace with gold elements and fang/claw-like teeth.

At the waist is a detailed belt centerpiece shaped like a silver animal face (wolf/dragon-like), with curved horn or tusk shapes extending outward on both sides. The figure’s arms are raised and bent, hands open in a clawing or grabbing pose.

The background looks like a diorama or printed backdrop: stone wall texture, a green tree shape, and some blue-purple lighting on the right. The camera flash creates bright highlights on the figure’s skin and armor.

But here’s where my first major gripe kicks in.

I *really, really* hate shopping blind.

I bought **two** of these because I thought this was meant to be an **army builder**. Two heads! Multiple weapons! Big barbarian vibe! Perfect, right?

Nope.

Turns out the two heads are not two different characters—they’re the *same guy*, just one calm-ish face and one yelling face. Add in that ultra-specific demon armor, and suddenly this figure goes from “fantasy army builder” to “very specific named dude.”

Image: The same barbarian-style action figure, posed upright with more of the weapons and gear visible.

He has long white hair and a full white beard, with a stern, closed-mouth expression this time. Gray-blue markings wrap across the upper torso and shoulder.

His left arm is raised overhead holding a large, jagged, spiked weapon (like a serrated axe or blade) that extends diagonally across the top-left of the image. He wears bulky fur-trimmed bracers on both wrists, each with leather straps and metal details; the left bracer has a prominent spike/claw.

A leather strap runs diagonally across his chest (a harness). At the waist is the same silver animal-face belt piece with curved horn/tusk shapes, and a red cloth hangs behind/at the back-right.

[

]

Head-canon time though, because I refuse to suffer quietly:

**Meet Rogar and Ragor, Barbarian Berserker Twins.**

Identical gear. Identical rage. One yells slightly louder. Done. Canon accepted. 😆

Still… had I known how *distinct* this armor was, I would’ve only bought one.

Image: Two barbarian-style action figures posed side by side on a tabletop/diorama surface, with a castle-ruin backdrop behind them.

Left figure:
Standing with legs apart, head tilted slightly down. He has long white hair and a white beard, tan skin, and gray-blue tribal markings across the chest and arms. He wears a fang/claw necklace, a large silver animal-face belt with horned/tusked sides, layered skirt-like armor panels, and a red cloth loincloth. In his right hand he holds a long pole weapon with a silver double-axe head near the bottom.

Right figure:
Similar character and outfit (white hair/beard, tattoos, fur-trimmed bracers, red loincloth, heavy boots). He holds a large jagged, spiked, cross-shaped weapon raised in front of him with both hands.

Foreground/setting:
Between them is a rectangular black base or device with a grid of bright white LED lights glowing. The background is a printed/assembled scene of stone arches and dead tree branches, with green tones on the left and red tones on the right. A camera flash creates bright reflections on the figures’ armor and the glossy surface behind them.

### Accessories & Customization: Cool… but Frustrating

Let’s talk parts.

**Included:**

* Main figure

Image: A side/back close-up of the barbarian action figure’s upper body and hip armor, oriented upright.

The figure is turned sideways with both arms raised and bent upward, hands open as if reaching or bracing. You can see the back and shoulder muscles, with the long white hair and beard visible at the left edge of the frame.

Around the hips is a large, textured armor panel that looks like wood planks banded with silver metal strips and rivets. A gold ring detail (like a D-ring) sits on the side, and a narrow gold trim runs along the top edge of the armor. A bit of red cloth hangs behind the armor.

[

]

* 2 head sculpts (neutral + yelling)

Image: Two interchangeable action-figure head sculpts lying on a flat surface, shown upright with cool blue-purple lighting.

Top head:
White hair swept back and a thick white beard with several small braided tips. The expression is stern/neutral with the mouth closed. There’s a small blue-gray paint mark (tattoo/war paint) on the forehead.

Bottom head:
Similar white hair and beard with braided tips, but the expression is aggressive: mouth wide open as if yelling, showing teeth. It also has blue-gray paint markings on the forehead and near the eye. Long shadows fall to the right of both heads.

[

]

* 3 pairs of hands

Image: Several interchangeable action-figure hands laid out on a flat surface under cool blue-purple lighting, each casting long shadows to the right.

There are five hands total:
Top-left: a bent/angled grip hand (like for holding a weapon handle), with the wrist peg hole visible
Middle-left: a clenched fist
Center: an open “claw”/grabbing hand with fingers spread
Bottom-left: another clenched fist (tighter, more rounded)
Bottom: an open hand with fingers partly curled (a relaxed grip/gesture hand)

[

]

* A massive sword

Image: A fantasy-style sword lying horizontally on a flat surface under dim blue-purple light.

The handle is on the left with a small ring-shaped pommel, a brown grip, and a short guard. Just above the guard is a gold skull ornament set into a dark, angular mount.

The blade extends to the right, broad and straight with layered panel lines and an inset groove that has a reddish tint. The tip is out of frame on the far right.

[

]

* A brutal axe

Image: A double-headed battle axe lying horizontally on a flat surface under cool blue-purple lighting.

The axe head is on the left: two asymmetrical blades with a dark steel look, rivets, and layered armor-like shapes. In the center of the head is a prominent skull decoration with horn-like protrusions above it.

The handle extends to the right with a brown wrapped grip in the middle, then a gray metal section near the end with a small sculpted emblem and a ring-shaped loop at the very tip. A long shadow falls to the right.

[

]

* A pair of U-shaped swords (dual wielding goodness)

Image: Two matching fantasy daggers (or short swords) laid out horizontally on a light gray surface, one above the other.

Each has a brown handle on the left and a dark metallic blade to the right. Near the guard on both weapons is a small skull decoration with a red band beneath it and black markings.

The blades are highly stylized with many sharp spikes along the edges and an open, forked tip (two prongs) at the far right. The top blade has more spikes along its length than the bottom one. A camera flash creates bright highlights on the metal and a slight shadow to the right.

[

]

* Wrist guards

Image: Several action-figure armor/clothing accessories laid out on a light gray surface.

Center-left: a brown belt or strap looped into an oval. Attached to it is a curved, fur-trimmed piece with several outward-pointing spikes (like a spiked shoulder/waist guard).

Near the belt are two fur-trimmed bracer/gauntlet pieces:
Top-left of center: a brown bracer with fur trim and small strap details
Below the belt: a similar bracer with a larger silver armor plate on top

Right side: two matching hip/side armor panels (top-right and bottom-right) that look like wood planks bound with silver metal bands and rivets, each with a small gold ring (D-ring) detail.

Bright flash highlights the metallic parts and casts shadows to the right.

[

The **weapons** are awesome. Heavy, brutal, and very Diablo-coded. No complaints there.

But my biggest pet peeve in figure collecting rears its ugly head here:

> **Four weapons. Zero storage options.**

No loops. No sheaths. No back straps. Nothing.

For a figure that regularly sells between **$70 and $120 USD**, it’s *not* unreasonable to expect at least *some* way to store weapons. Especially when fantasy lines like Mythic Legions have been solving this problem for years.

If he’s not holding it, it’s just… floating on your shelf somewhere.

Drives. Me. Nuts.

Image: The figure is leaning forward aggressively, as if lunging or running, with long white hair and a thick white beard. Gray-blue tribal markings cover the upper torso and shoulder. A ragged red loincloth hangs and flares behind the waist armor.

In the foreground, the right hand grips a large jagged, spiked weapon decorated with small skulls and red accents; the weapon is closest to the camera and slightly out of focus at the near edge. The forearm has a dark armored bracer.

The legs are extended behind in the pose, with brown straps around the thighs and silver shin/boot armor with layered ridges. Bright flash and cool blue-purple lighting create strong highlights on the metal pieces and deep shadows, with parts of the stone-ruin backdrop visible behind.

### Build & Materials: Adam Toys Strong Body (With Caveats)

This figure is built on the **Adam Toys “Strong Body” buck**. Since I don’t own that base body separately, I can’t do a full side-by-side breakdown, but from what I can tell, the following are likely new additions:

* Both head sculpts

* Belt and demon buckle

* Greaves

* Bracers

* Chest strap

The **upper torso is hollow and slightly squishy**, similar to Storm Collectibles figures—but noticeably not as refined. It’s not bad, but it doesn’t feel premium either.

Image: A close-up side view of a barbarian-style warrior action figure standing upright.

He has long white-blond hair tied in a bun, a bare muscular torso with a dark blue curved tattoo on his upper arm/shoulder, and heavy brown-and-silver armor with spikes and fur trim on the shoulder and bracers. Around his waist is a wide belt with gold decorative patterns, and a bright red cloth skirt/loincloth that’s frayed with loose threads. His legs have matching armored greaves with fur trim. The photo is lit with a strong flash; behind him are other toy parts/packaging artwork, and a vertical yellow strip along the right edge.

[

]

Good news for customizers:

* The **chest strap and bracers are removable**

* The **articulated belt flaps can be removed**, but **be careful**—those tiny ball joints will absolutely snap if you’re reckless

Unclear:

* I’m *not* sure if the belt or greaves can be fully removed without surgery

Image: Two barbarian warrior action figures posed on a glossy black display base with bright white LED lights on the right side.

Both figures are muscular, shirtless, and heavily armored in brown-and-silver pieces with fur trim, wearing red cloth skirt/loincloths. The upper figure is holding a long, jagged sword raised overhead with both hands. The lower figure holds a large spiked mace/hammer with a skull detail near the head, angled downward. Behind them is a printed backdrop showing stone arches and walls with a red-and-black sky and bare tree silhouettes. A yellow vertical strip runs along the far right edge of the scene.

[

### Articulation: Big Dude, Big Limitations

This is where things start sliding downhill.

**The hair and beard absolutely murder head articulation.** Up/down range is minimal, and side-to-side is only okay. Expressive sculpt? Yes. Poseable rage monster? Ehhh.

Other articulation notes:

* Double-jointed elbows and knees exist, but bulky muscles and armor severely restrict them

* No butterfly shoulders

* Mid-torso joint works surprisingly well for bending and pivoting

* Hips actually have good range for such a chunky build

* The articulated belt flaps smartly move out of the way when posing the legs

Image: Two barbarian warrior action figures seen from behind, standing on a glossy black base with a column of bright white LED lights along the right edge.

Both are muscular and shirtless with pale blond/white hair, wearing brown-and-silver armor with fur trim and red cloth skirt/loincloths. The figure on the left is holding a long sword upright; the figure on the right has a large spiked weapon (mace/hammer) visible near the lower right. Behind them is a printed backdrop of dark stone arches and walls, with a red sky and black tree-branch silhouettes. A yellow vertical strip runs behind the figures near the LEDs.

[

]

Now for the real offender:

**The ankles and toes.**

* Loose toe joints

* Very limited ankle rocker

* Hard to balance

* Standing poses can be genuinely frustrating

This guy *wants* to fall over. Constantly.

Image: A dark, dramatic photo of two barbarian warrior action figures posed as if fighting on a black display base, lit mostly by the bright white LED lights along the right side.

The lower figure (front) is crouched/leaning back, gripping a large spiked mace or hammer across his body. The upper figure (back) faces him with a long sword angled downward toward the other weapon, creating a crossed-weapons look. Most details are in shadow, but you can still make out their pale hair, muscular bare torsos, armored bracers/greaves with fur trim, and red cloth skirt pieces.

### Price vs Value: Here’s the Brutal Truth

At different price points, this figure tells very different stories.

* **$50 USD?** Pretty amazing.

* **$70 USD?** Just okay.

* **$100–$120 USD?** Absolutely out of its league.

Image: Three fantasy action figures posed in front of a printed backdrop showing stone arches and walls, with a red sky on one panel and a greenish/teal sky on another.

On the left, a muscular, shirtless barbarian with white-blond hair, heavy brown-and-silver armor with fur trim, and a red cloth skirt is holding a long sword angled forward.

In the middle, a female warrior figure is turned away from the camera, wearing a horned helmet and a large brown fur cape that flares outward. She’s holding a big copper-colored, ornate hammer, with one leg lifted as if stepping.

On the right, another shirtless barbarian in similar armor and a red cloth skirt is raising two jagged weapons: a long spiked sword in one hand and a star-shaped spiked blade in the other.

[

]

At those higher prices, it’s competing with:

* Mythic Legions

* Savage Crucible

* NECA’s larger fantasy offerings

And against that competition?

This Berserker struggles.

Image: A scene with two action figures posed in front of the same printed stone-arch backdrop.

On the left is a muscular, shirtless barbarian with white-blond hair, blue tattoos on his upper body, heavy brown-and-silver armor with fur trim, and a red cloth skirt. He’s holding a large axe/hammer-like weapon raised overhead with both hands.

On the right is a monster/demon-like figure with a textured gray body and bright orange-and-black armor or skin patterning, plus spikes and tooth-like protrusions along the shoulders and limbs. It’s holding a spiked staff or mace raised upward in one hand, and has a long sword with a metallic hilt and an orange blade angled down along its side. The background panels show dark stonework and leafless tree silhouettes, and there’s a yellow vertical strip at the far right edge.

[

]

I *love* supporting third-party and non-mainstream figures. Truly. But honesty matters.

This one is more **BUST than MUST**.

Image: A scene with two action figures in front of the printed stone-arch backdrop.

On the left, a mostly nude female elf-like figure with orange hair and pointed ears is posed upright, holding a long silver polearm with a crescent-shaped blade, aimed toward the other figure. She has small blue armor pieces around her hips and a black strap around her chest.

On the right, a muscular barbarian with white-blond hair, brown-and-silver armor with fur trim, and a red cloth skirt stands with legs apart, holding a long sword raised diagonally in front of him as if blocking the incoming polearm.

[

]

The idea is solid. The sculpt is good. The weapons are cool. But:

* Overblown pricing

* No weapon storage

* Limited articulation

* Poor balance

* Minimal character variation

All of that drags it down several pegs.

Image: Two fantasy action figures posed as if clashing weapons in front of the printed stone-arch backdrop.

On the left is a muscular barbarian with white-blond hair, blue tattoos on his upper body, heavy brown-and-silver armor with fur trim, and a red cloth skirt. He’s lunging forward with a jagged weapon raised in one hand and another spiked weapon angled toward his opponent.

On the right is a larger, pale-skinned, ogre/giant-like figure with long orange hair and a blue cloth wrap/skirt. It’s in a wide stance on a round black stand, holding a long-handled axe or polearm up to meet the barbarian’s weapon, as if blocking or parrying.

[

]

### Final Verdict

A visually striking, aggressive, Diablo-flavored barbarian with great sculpting and cool weapons—but held back by articulation issues, frustrating design omissions, and wildly inconsistent pricing.

Image: Two action figures standing in front of the printed stone-arch backdrop.

On the left is a muscular barbarian with white-blond hair and beard, blue tattoos across his shoulder and chest, silver-and-brown armor pieces, and a red cloth skirt. He’s posed with one arm bent as if flexing.

On the right is a superhero figure in a tight suit colored red, white, and blue, with a large Union Jack-style design across the chest and a matching mask. He has blue boots, white gloves, and stands with fists clenched.

[

]

If you find it cheap? Enjoy the hell out of it.

If you’re paying triple digits? I’d say let this berserker rage on… without your wallet.

Image: Two action figures posed as if grappling in front of the printed stone-arch backdrop.

A muscular barbarian with white-blond hair and beard, blue tattoos on his torso, heavy brown-and-silver armor, and a red cloth skirt is leaning back with one arm bent and fist clenched.

Clinging over his shoulder and upper back is a smaller, stylized female figure with pink skin, long black hair, and a purple outfit with gold trim. She wears black sleeves/gloves and a black cape with gold dots near the edge, with her arms spread as if mid-attack or balancing while riding his back.
