POP UP PARADE Himmel (Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End) by Good Smile — Hero of the Original Demon King Party at 17cm, Pre-Orders Open!
Good Smile Company has opened pre-orders for POP UP PARADE Himmel, the latest figure release from the modern shonen-fantasy phenomenon Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End (葬送のフリーレン / Sousou no Frieren). The blue-haired hero who led the original adventuring party that defeated the Demon King — and whose memory drives the entirety of Frieren’s emotional journey — joins the wildly popular POP UP PARADE line on November 2026.
For Frieren fans worldwide, this release is significant: Himmel appears in the series mostly through flashbacks and recollections, making any high-quality figure of him in his prime a rare and emotionally resonant collectible. Sculpted by Maiya (Acxyz Creativ) with paintwork by Hiroto Tanimoto, the figure captures Himmel in his iconic hero attire at the standard POP UP PARADE display size of 170mm (about 17cm).
If you’re an overseas Frieren fan looking to pre-order this figure with worldwide shipping from Japan, this guide covers everything you need to know.

Who is Himmel? — The Hero Whose Memory Drives Frieren
For new readers and anime-only fans: Himmel is the leader of the original adventuring party that defeated the Demon King and saved the world — the very party that included Frieren the elf mage, Heiter the priest, and Eisen the dwarf warrior. By the time Frieren’s story begins, the party’s victory is already 80 years in the past, and Himmel has long since died of old age.
What makes Himmel one of modern shonen’s most beloved characters is exactly how his absence shapes the entire narrative. Frieren — whose elven lifespan rendered the decade-long Demon King quest a “brief detour” — only realizes after his funeral how little she actually understood the human friend who walked beside her. The series’ central question becomes: why does she now want to know more about a man who is already gone?
Visually, Himmel is the platonic ideal of a fantasy hero — vivid blue hair, blue cape, ornate chest armor, and a hero’s sword — paired with a self-aware vanity that makes him beloved despite (or because of) his constant reminders that he is, indeed, very handsome. This POP UP PARADE release captures him in his prime, exactly as Frieren remembers him.
Figure Highlights
POP UP PARADE is Good Smile Company’s accessible-tier figure line — non-scale, fully painted, designed for collectors who want display-ready presence without the premium price of scale figures. At 170mm (17cm), this Himmel sits at the standard POP UP PARADE display size, making him an ideal centerpiece for a Frieren shelf alongside future POP UP PARADE Frieren, Heiter, and Eisen releases.
Key sculpting points:
- Sharp linework on the hero’s outfit — chest armor, layered cape, and signature blue color palette
- Anime-accurate facial sculpt by Maiya (Acxyz Creativ) capturing Himmel’s signature confident smirk
- Detailed paintwork by Hiroto Tanimoto — clean color separations on hair, eyes, and metallic armor accents
- Stable dedicated base allowing display without external supports — designed to pair naturally with the rest of the original adventuring party once they release in figure form
Where to Buy — Worldwide Shipping from Japan
Good Smile Company’s official Japanese pre-order window runs April 24 – May 20, 2026, but international fans typically face two roadblocks: the official store doesn’t ship many regions directly, and proxy services add unpredictable handling fees on every order.
