Durin Chibi Figure Pre-order Now Live: A Fairytale Dragon Begins a New Chapter!

Genshin Impact had already teased the planning of a chibi Durin figure quite some time ago. The release took a bit longer than I expected, but it was definitely worth the wait. Let's take a closer look at the details of this figure together.

Durin Floral Wanderings Chibi Figure

This Durin figure features an adorable stylized design, standing at about 12.5 cm tall. Depicted sitting atop a pile of rocks, Durin has a cute and slightly bewildered expression. The figure is inspired by an iconic scene from Durin's Story Quest: the exact moment Durin receives the pen from Hexenzirkel Mage M, which marks the start of a brand-new chapter. The figure perfectly captures that evocative atmosphere.

Durin Figure Details

The details of this figure are exceptionally well done. The signature purple hair and red eyes are accurately recreated. The eyes are finished with pad printing, featuring delicate highlights and fine details on the pupils, conveying a touch of innocence and gentleness.

The hair is crafted using separate parts with a purple gradient finish, featuring rich texture and smooth, natural color transitions. Both the highlights and the darker tips are finely rendered, while the voluminous styling is handled with great balance. The black dragon horns on top are individual pieces with sharp, well-defined edges.

The red gem ornaments on the outfit and the wings on the back fully replicate the original design. The folds of the coat fall naturally with the seated posture for a lifelike effect. The quill pen is coated with metallic paint on its shaft, delivering an outstanding texture. The legs are softly rounded in a chibi style, enhancing the lovely charm. The base is designed to resemble a grassy field with distinct grass textures, creating a warm, fairy-tale ambiance of a spring meadow. 

In addition, this figure also features a special technique. The chest ornaments, the outstretched wings, and the gems on the pen will reveal a shimmering, iridescent glow under UV light. The magical luster appears and disappears, creating a highly mysterious effect that perfectly matches Durin's character and aura.

Many people wonder why the little dragon is made of acrylic when the adjacent book is fully sculpted in 3D. I came across an interpretation by a fellow player that completely resonated with me: it symbolizes the little dragon stepping out from the pages of the book, transitioning from a fictional character into reality. Looking at the lore, Durin was originally just a character in a story who, with the help of Mage M and the Hexenzirkel, was granted a real life, thus rewriting his tragic fate as an evil dragon. This design concept is incredibly romantic and clever, perfectly elevating the artistic core of the entire figure!
