Good Smile Company, a leader in the collectible figure industry, has announced the release of an impressive new addition to their budget-friendly “POP UP PARADE” line: the “Falin (Chimera) XL Size” PVC figure. This striking figure is based on the popular manga Delicious in Dungeon (Dungeon Meshi), a highlight of the recent Smile Fest 2024 event. Priced at 39,800 JPY (approximately $280), this XL-sized figure is slated for release in May 2025.
Delicious in Dungeon follows the story of Laios, the protagonist who embarks on a quest to save his sister, Falin after she is swallowed by a red dragon during a dungeon battle. Although Falin is absent for much of the story, her gentle and compassionate nature is revealed through the memories of her companions. Despite her poor eyesight, which often leaves her squinting, Falin’s kindness extends to the monsters within the dungeon. She is also a close friend of Marcille, having met her during their time at a magic school.
The “POP UP PARADE Falin (Chimera) XL Size” figure captures Falin’s dramatic transformation into her Chimera form, as seen in the series. Standing at approximately 10.2 inches (26 cm), this figure is the largest in the POP UP PARADE series, offering fans a highly detailed and imposing collectible.
This figure showcases Falin’s Chimera form with exquisite detail. The feathers covering her body are meticulously sculpted to create a soft, fluffy texture, while the wings feature individually defined feathers that convey a sense of power and grace. The red dragon scales and claws are intricately crafted, with a glossy finish highlighting their hardness and contrasting beautifully with the softer feathers. Falin’s human form, integrated into the Chimera body, is sculpted with elegance, and her open-eyed, sharp expression adds a touch of mystique to the figure.
For those purchasing through the Good Smile Company online store, an exclusive bonus is included: an alternate facial expression part for Falin, offering fans an additional way to display this stunning figure.
