Although both the anime and manga have already concluded, Attack on Titan continues to be a major franchise worldwide. Proof of this are two new Bandai Namco figures depicting some fan-favorite characters as they were seen in the series' final moments.
Via Bandai's official X (formerly Twitter) account, two new figures of Levi Ackermann and Hange Zoe are being released in late 2024, and these high-quality items are more than worthy additions to any fan's collection. Depicting the two characters in the midst of action, the statues are like dynamic works of art that are certain to stand out on shelves. They're just some of the continued examples of Attack on Titan merchandise, which shows no sign of slowing down any time soon.
The Newest Attack on Titan Figures Recreate Key Moments from the Series' Ending
Both the Levi Ackermann and Hange Zoe figures are part of the Ichibansho collection by Bandai Namco. This line is made up of high-end, collector-oriented figures with vivid colors and details, perfectly recreating what fans are used to seeing on the small screen. Previous Ichibansho figures have been released for major franchises such as One Piece, Demon Slayer and of course, Attack on Titan. In the case of the newest examples of the latter brand, the collector's items are based on how Levi and Hange appeared during the Rumbling, which takes place at the end of Attack on Titan.
Dashing forward and kicking up a stream of dirt is the Hange statue/figure, which is wearing the Survey Corps uniform while extending their blade. The Levi figure is portrayed as dodging to the side in midair while holding his weapon, with his omni-directional mobility gear activated. Both are around 6.3" tall, with their dynamic poses being great representations of their actions in the anime series. They're expected to finally be released in November 2024, when they will each retail for US$50.
Attack on Titan Was One of the Biggest Franchises in the 2010s
Created by Hajime Isayama, Attack on Titan was and continues to be a massively-popular series in all its forms. The original manga ran from 2009 to 2021, culminating in 34 volumes that went on to sell over 140 million copies worldwide. This makes the property one of the most popular manga ever, and the anime adaptation was likewise extremely beloved. Handled by Wit Studio and MAPPA, it ran for a decade (2013 to 2023). It went on to receive numerous awards and has been a major success around the globe.
Attack on Titan reached many viewers that otherwise did not watch anime, and it was seen by some as one of the catalysts for the current manga/anime boom. A major part of its success was the story's dark tone and how it appealed to older audiences. This helped it to stand out from the battle shonen brands that also became popular at around that time. There are still other Attack on Titan works being made, despite the source material and its main adaptation having been completed. These include the upcoming video game Attack on Titan VR, which will release later in 2024. A new Attack on Titan spinoff series is also in the works.
