Kotobukiya Unveils “Frieren” PVC Model from “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End”
Kotobukiya, a renowned Japanese toy company, has announced an exciting addition to its 1/7 scale PVC model series: a figure based on the popular manga and anime “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End.” Priced at 19,800 Japanese Yen, this model is a must-have for fans, capturing the ethereal and otherworldly essence of the elven mage Frieren.
Created by Kanehito Yamada and illustrated by Tsukasa Abe, “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End” (葬送のフリーレン) is a poignant story that follows Frieren, an elven mage, and her companions – human hero Himmel, dwarf warrior Eren, and human priest Heiter. After a decade-long journey and heroic adventures, the group returns as celebrated heroes. As an elf who lives for centuries without aging, Frieren’s perception of time differs from that of her mortal companions. She embarks on a new journey of self-discovery and understanding, grappling with the loss and aging of her friends and her past lack of knowledge of human life and time.
The “Frieren 1/7 scale model” by Kotobukiya stands approximately 23.5 cm tall. It features Frieren’s distinctive pale purple hair, rendered in translucent material with a gradient effect, adding a sense of lightness and dynamism. The model’s intricate details are evident in its white and gold cloak, meticulously painted to capture every nuance and the magical staff she holds. Frieren’s serene yet captivating facial expression is beautifully crafted, reflecting her character’s depth and the manga’s thematic richness.
Adding to the allure, the model is adorned with vibrant, colorful flowers at its base, reminiscent of the beautiful scenes in the series. There is a special bonus for those ordering from Kotobukiya stores: an interchangeable facial expression, adding to the collectible’s appeal.
Set for release in October 2024, this “Frieren” figure is a testament to Kotobukiya’s dedication to quality and fidelity to the source material. It promises to be a captivating piece for fans of both series and collectors of high-quality anime and manga figures.
