Bandai’s GASHAPON division has announced an exciting new addition to their product lineup: the “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End” hanging figurine charms. Inspired by the popular anime and manga series, these delightful collectibles will be available for 300 yen per capsule (approximately $2.10 USD) starting in late October 2024.
“Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End” is a beloved Japanese manga written by Kanehito Yamada and illustrated by Tsukasa Abe. The story was adapted into an anime series by MADHOUSE in 2023. It follows Frieren, a long-lived elf, who embarks on self-discovery and emotional exploration after the death of her human companion, Hero Himmel. Joining her are two apprentices of her former comrades, as they all seek to understand the ephemeral beauty of human life.
The new GASHAPON collection captures this enchanting tale with charms depicting the main characters: Frieren, Fern, and Stark. Each figurine stands approximately 3.1 to 3.5 cm tall (about 1.22 to 1.38 inches) and features an endearing two-head-tall (chibi) style. The charms show the characters in mid-air, as if suspended by the hooks on their heads, creating a whimsical hanging effect.
Each character has two different expressions—a pouty face and a squinting, displeased look—adding a playful and reluctant charm to their appearance. The figurines are available with a ball chain or a hook, allowing multiple display options. With six unique expressions per character, there are 12 charms to collect. Additionally, fans can connect the figurines using hooks on their heads and chests, forming a fun and unified display of Frieren and her friends hanging together.
