Few mangas and animes have captured the attention of audiences from around the world in recent years as "Attack on Titan". The story follows a group of elite soldiers that must protect a walled city from an onslaught of giants called “Titans.” The anime ends this year with record viewership and countless figures inspired by the universe.
The best "Attack on Titan" figure is the SEGA "Attack on Titan" 7-Inch Mikasa Figure. This figure features a highly stylized pose of Mikasa Ackerman, one of the elite soldiers fighting the titans.
"Attack on Titan" generally refers to the popular anime series, but some may remember that it was originally a manga series of the same name. The series was written and drawn by Hajime Isayama, who originally created a 65-page one-shot version of "Attack on Titan" in 2006. The manga was officially serialized in 2009. The series ended on April 9, 2021, and has sold over 100 million copies in print worldwide. "Attack on Titan" has since become one of the best-selling manga series in history.
"Attack on Titan" figures vary in art style. On one end, there are fully detailed, near-realistic renditions of titans and soldiers, while on the other end, there are more simplistic, cartoonish models of characters. The differences in production can be attributed to the different figure manufacturers, different audiences and different artistic direction overall.
Common sense media rates "Attack on Titan" for ages 15 and up. This is due to the anime’s excessive violence, images of blood and profane language. While the figures themselves may not depict any of this violence or profanity, they do carry symbols and imagery that may not be readily understood by younger audiences. For example, titans are almost always naked (although their genitalia is typically not shown) and soldiers are seen in fighting stances with drawn swords. If you plan on buying an "Attack on Titan" figure, keep your recipient’s age in mind.
"Attack on Titan" figures typically feature highly stylized poses, whether they’re in the middle of an attack or seemingly suspended in the air with their ODM gear. Just as the show features frenetic, high-octane action, the best figures tend to capture the drama of the show with exaggerated poses or expressions. Look out for figures with designs that are true to the show’s style.
Most figures should last you a few years, if not decades. Although they won’t be sitting out in the snow or rain, they should be able to stand on their own without any pieces falling off or wobbling at the slightest motion. The best "Attack on Titan" figures feel solid and well-constructed, so avoid cheap knockoffs at all costs.
"Attack on Titan" has a distinct brand consistent across all media and merchandise. While there may be some third-party brands attempting to pass off similar character or monster designs, "Attack on Titan" is universally recognized for its unique drawings and colors. If looking for a figure, even a cheap one, always look for officially branded or licensed figures only.
"Attack on Titan" figures start at around $13 for very simple builds. They can go up to $100 for rarer, more detailed figures.
A. The Japanese title of the manga is “Shingeki no Kyojin,” which actually translates to “Attacking Titan” or “Advancing Titan.” This is in reference to one of the main titans on the show. Hajime Isayama realized that the English title would be lost in translation and approved the new title, "Attack on Titan,” because it sounded cooler.
A. If your figure catches any dust and dirt, gently wipe away with warm water and a dry cleaning cloth. If the dirt does not loosen easily, use a little soap or toothpaste as well.
