Most Delicious in Dungeon figures go for a straightforward character portrait, but KADOKAWA's KDcolle line took a different approach with its Gochisosama Falin, Chimera ver. figure.
Rather than a standing pose, this piece recreates one of the manga and anime's most talked-about moments: Falin mid-transformation into the chimera form that drives a major turn in the story.
The figure released in March 2026 and has been available through import retailers for a while now, making it a good time to take a closer look at what sets it apart from a standard character figure.
Here's what's actually in the release, and why it's worth considering even for collectors who already own other Falin figures.
KDcolle's line has built its identity around capturing specific story beats rather than generic character portraits, and the Falin Chimera figure is one of its clearest examples. The sculpt is based on a garage kit design before being revamped for the finished PVC release.
That garage-kit-to-retail pipeline tends to produce sharper, more dynamic sculpting than a figure designed purely for mass retail from the start, since the original kit sculptor's vision carries through more directly.
The figure measures roughly 145mm in length and comes as a non-scale, pre-painted complete piece, with a special edition bundling a bonus rubber display mat sized around 600mm by 300mm.
That mat matters more than it might sound, since a transformation-moment figure like this one benefits from a themed base rather than sitting on a generic shelf surface.
Falin's transformation is one of the story's genuine turning points, shifting the tone of Delicious in Dungeon from comedic dungeon-crawling into something with real stakes. Manufacturers tend to chase these moments specifically because they stand out from a franchise's usual tone.
For readers who followed the manga before the anime adaptation, this figure recreates a scene that was already a known highlight, which helps explain why it found an audience beyond casual anime-only fans.
Most other Falin releases, including her appearances across Pop Up Parade and other lines, go for a standard standing or seated character pose. This KDcolle piece is the outlier specifically because of its dramatic framing.
Owning both a standard Falin figure and this chimera version gives a collection genuine visual range, rather than two similar poses of the same character sitting side by side.
This isn't the right first Falin figure for someone who just wants a straightforward character piece; a standard release serves that purpose better and at a lower price point.
It's a strong second or third pickup for collectors who already know the story and want a figure that reflects a specific moment rather than a general likeness.
Because this figure captures mid-transformation action rather than a static pose, it tends to need more shelf depth than a standard standing figure, and the included display mat is worth using rather than skipping.
An enclosed display case also does more visual work here than with a plainer figure, since the dramatic pose benefits from being framed rather than left on an open shelf edge.
Since its March 2026 release, the KDcolle Falin Chimera figure has been available mainly through Japanese import retailers rather than mainstream North American hobby shops.
Pricing has stayed reasonably stable since launch, without the sharp post-release markup that hits figures tied to a one-time event or convention exclusive.
This figure reads best when placed near a standard Falin piece, since the contrast between her everyday appearance and the chimera transformation is a big part of what makes the figure worth owning in the first place.
Collectors building a full main-party display should treat this as a deliberate centerpiece rather than just another figure in the lineup, and if that display also includes a Nendoroid, a Nendoroid box protector keeps that piece looking just as sharp.
It released in March 2026.
Falin's transformation into chimera form, a major turning point in the story.
Roughly 145mm, built as a non-scale, pre-painted piece.
Special editions include a themed rubber display mat.
Yes, KDcolle has covered other main-party members alongside this release.
This is one of the more distinctive pieces in the current Delicious in Dungeon lineup, and it's worth the shelf space if you already own a standard Falin figure. Give it a proper home with an acrylic display case that frames the pose rather than crowding it.
