Frieren Plushie Complete Guide 2026: How to Choose Types, Sizes, and Where to Buy
Since the anime adaptation in 2023, the popularity of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End plushies has skyrocketed worldwide. With the second season starting in January 2026, new products continue to be released.
However, with dozens of varieties circulating—including those from Good Smile, SEGA, Youtooz, and even unofficial items—many fans find themselves asking, “Which one should I choose?” This article summarizes practical information to help you find the Frieren plushie that is right for you.
1. Three Types of Frieren Plushies
Official Licensed Products
- Manufacturers: Good Smile Company, Great Eastern Entertainment, Movic
- Price: 2,500 yen – 8,000 yen
- Size: 20–30 cm
These use high-quality minky fabric with detailed embroidery on expressions and costumes. Ideal for long-term display and collections. Pre-order periods are often limited, and shipping from Japan may cost between 1,500 and 3,000 yen. - Representative Products:
- Good Smile Frieren Plush (30 cm, 3,500 yen)
- Great Eastern Frieren (8-inch, 2,500 yen) *Available on Amazon US with Prime support.
Prize Items (Amusement Center Prizes)
- Manufacturers: SEGA, Banpresto, Taito
- Price: 1,000 yen – 2,500 yen (Secondary market price)
- Size: 15–25 cm
Originally prizes from crane games. They feature soft fabric and are very huggable at an affordable price. While embroidery is simpler than official collectibles, they are perfect for those who want to collect multiple characters or prioritize budget. Since they are difficult to obtain outside of Japan, resale prices usually include a markup. - Representative Products:
- SEGA Frieren Premium Figure Plush (1,500–2,500 yen on Mercari)
- SEGA Stark Plush (High demand as a rare character)
Limited Editions / Collaboration Plushies
- Price: 3,000 yen – 15,000+ yen
Unique designs not available elsewhere. These have high collectible value, and resale prices can soar. It is not uncommon for pre-orders to sell out within hours. - Representative Products:
- Frieren x Mimic Set (Movic, 15,000 yen) – Recreates the iconic scene.
- Youtooz Frieren 9-inch (3,000 yen) – Western style, features a detachable staff.
2. Choosing by Size: Usage Guide
| Size | Usage | Price Range |
| 6-10 cm | Bag charms, keychains | 800 – 1,500 yen |
| 10-18 cm | Desk decor, travel companion | 1,200 – 2,500 yen |
| 20-30 cm | Shelf display, bed decoration | 2,000 – 5,000 yen |
| 40 cm+ | High-presence display, body pillow | 3,900 – 8,000 yen |
If you are unsure, the medium size (20–25 cm) is recommended. It offers the best balance between display quality and price, making it easy to add smaller or larger sizes to your collection later.

These are the only official large plushies 40 cm or larger
As of February 2026, the three types mentioned above are the only official licensed products 40 cm or larger. While 75 cm unofficial items circulate on AliExpress and eBay (priced at 5,000–8,000 yen), quality varies greatly without a license. If size is your only priority, unofficial is an option, but for quality and accuracy, the Good Smile 40 cm version is the best choice.
Points for Choosing Large Plushies:
| Product | Price | Recommended For |
| :— | :— | :— |
| Standard (40 cm) | 3,900 yen | First-time large purchase, display |
| Silly Face (40 cm) | 7,920 yen | Humor/Collectors |
| Mimic (40 cm) | 7,920 yen | Mimic lovers, completing the set |
Purchase Note: A 40 cm plushie requires space equivalent to 2 or 3 shoeboxes. Ensure you have a display spot before buying.

8. Frieren x Mimic Set (15,000 yen) – Limited design
5. Characteristics by Character
- Frieren: Expressionless with pale colors (white, light blue, silver). Recreating the “emotionless elf” vibe is difficult, so quality varies by manufacturer. The Good Smile version is the most faithful to the original.
- Fern: Highly expressive (smiling, serious). Features purple hair and mage robes. Because she is easy to make “cute,” most manufacturers produce high quality. The SEGA prize version offers a good balance of softness and expression.
- Stark: Features a blushing expression, red hair, and warrior attire. Released in smaller quantities than Frieren/Fern; immediate purchase is recommended if found.
- Himmel: Very rare. As of 2026, only 2 or 3 official versions exist. Since he is treated as a sub-character in the current anime timeline, products are few. Most are Japan-exclusive and sell out instantly.
6. Purchase Methods and Precautions
Frieren plushies can be purchased through the following methods:
Official Stores
- Good Smile Company, Crunchyroll Store (for the US market)
Marketplaces
- Amazon US/UK/FR (Prime support, returnable), eBay (check seller ratings)
Japan-Exclusive Items
- Mercari, Yahoo! Auctions, and Rakuten do not support international shipping. You can purchase them through proxy services like Neokyo.
Purchase Precautions
- Size Confirmation Essential: Confirm if height (cm) is listed in the description.
- Calculate Total Cost Including Shipping: A 1,500 yen plushie might incur 3,000 yen in shipping. Buying multiple items together spreads the cost.
- Beware of Fakes: “Inspired” items on Etsy/eBay are unofficial. Check for manufacturer names (Good Smile, SEGA) and the official license logo.
Summary
Frieren plushies range widely from 1,200 yen prizes to 15,000 yen limited editions.
Choosing Points:
- Priority on Quality → Good Smile Official
- Priority on Softness → SEGA Prize
- Want Large Size → Big Plushie Frieren (40cm)
By clarifying your priorities (Quality vs. Budget vs. Size), you will find the perfect item.
