Frieren with Vertical Rolls Is Now a Figure! Fans Crack Up: "This makes me laugh every time lol"

A new item introduced by the official X account of the anime Frieren: Beyond Journey's End is causing a major stir among fans. The unexpected figure, which recreates a legendary comical scene from the series, has become the center of attention on social media.

The latest announcement features a new addition to the soft vinyl figure series "SOFVIMATES." It brings to life the form of Frieren (CV: Atsumi Tanezaki) whose hair somehow ended up in perfect "vertical rolls" after being eaten by a Mimic—a monster disguised as a treasure chest. The adorable, stylized sculpt perfectly matches her indescribably hollow expression, resulting in a finish that faithfully recreates the surreal situation from the show.

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End is a popular anime based on the manga by Kanehito Yamada (original story) and Tsukasa Abe (art). A fantasy depicting the aftermath of a hero's party that defeated the Demon King, it tells the story of Frieren, a long-lived elf mage, who embarks on a journey to "understand humans" following the deaths of her former companions. Its blend of poignant, heartwarming interactions and occasional humorous glimpses into daily life has captured the hearts of many viewers.

In response to her joining the series in "vertical roll" form, social media has been flooded with laughter, with fans commenting, "This makes me laugh every time lol." Others expressed their love for her signature blunder, saying, "Eaten by a Mimic again...", while many recalled her apprentice’s deadpan reaction, noting, "I want her as a set with Fern’s serious face from that moment," hoping to recreate the surreal scene in full.
