[Info] Frieren Actually Swapped Into Detective Outfit? Taito Coreful Latest Colored Prototype Revealed
Machine-translated from Traditional Chinese
Ever since the second season of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End ended, manufacturers have been pumping out figures non-stop, but most of them are that classic white mage robe, and after a while, it gets a bit tiring to look at. But just now, Taito officially revealed a new addition to the Coreful series, and this time Frieren is actually wearing an original "detective style" outfit.
What's most eye-catching about this detective look is definitely the twin braid hairstyle, which is completely different from the loose hair or half-up style we're used to. She looks a bit less like she's lived for a thousand years, and instead has a playful, shoujo explorer vibe. And according to the official colored prototype images, the ends of her hair still maintain the fine tradition of the Taito Coreful series, using translucent parts to create a sense of clarity. This kind of design that plays with light and shadow has always been popular among prize figures, and when placed on a desk with light shining through, the layering of the hair strands looks much better than solid color painting.
The outfit design is also thoughtful, with a dark brown shoulder cape paired with a plaid skirt, and she's holding a quill and notebook in her hands. Compared to a simple standing pose, this kind of action with a story behind it resonates more with fans. Looking back at Taito's previous dress version and Desktop Cute sitting series, the reception has generally been good, especially in terms of face sculpt accuracy. Taito has recently nailed that "half-smiling, slightly ethereal" expression of Frieren.
Although it's still in the supervision stage and the final product might have minor tweaks, given the Coreful series' affordable budget yet near-scale visual effect, this one is definitely on the must-buy list for the second half of next year. What do you all think of this "detective granny" style?
