[Info] Frieren in a Detective Outfit? Taito Coreful's Latest Colored Prototype Revealed
Ever since the conclusion of the second season of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, manufacturers have been churning out figures non-stop. However, most of them feature that classic white robe, which can lead to a bit of aesthetic fatigue after a while. But just moments ago, Taito officially unveiled the latest addition to their Coreful series, and to everyone's surprise, Frieren has swapped into an original "detective-style" outfit.
The most eye-catching part of this detective look is undoubtedly the twin-braid hairstyle. It's completely different from the loose or half-up style we're used to, making her look a little less like a thousand-year-old mage and more like a playful young explorer. Furthermore, based on the official colored prototype images, the tips of her hair maintain the fine tradition of the Taito Coreful series by using translucent parts to create a sense of clarity. This design, which utilizes light and shadow, has always been popular in prize-grade figures; when placed on a desk, the layering of the hair strands looks much better under light than a solid paint job.
The costume design is also quite thoughtful, featuring a dark brown capelet paired with a plaid skirt, and she's even holding a quill and notebook. Compared to a simple standing pose, this narrative-driven pose is more likely to resonate with fans. Looking back at the dress version and the Desktop Cute sitting series previously released by Taito, the reviews have generally been positive, especially regarding the accuracy of the facial sculpts. Taito has truly mastered that "half-smile, slightly ethereal" expression that defines Frieren.
Although it is currently still in the supervision stage and the final product may have minor adjustments, given that the Coreful series offers near-scale visual quality at an accessible budget, this figure is definitely a must-have on the list for the second half of next year. What do you all think of this "Detective Grandma" style?
