The latest attack on the Titans recreates key moments from the series' conclusion
Both Levi Ackermann and Hange Zoe figures are part of Bandai Namco's Ichibansho collection. The line is made up of premium, collector-oriented figures with vibrant colors and details that perfectly recreate what fans are used to seeing on the small screen. Ichibansho figures have previously been released for major franchises such as One Piece, Demon Slayer and of course Attack on Titan. In the case of the latter brand's latest examples, the collection's items are based on how Levi and Hange appear in Rumbling, which takes place at the end of Attack on Titan.
Rushing forward and kicking up a stream of dirt was the statue/figure of Hange, wearing the Survey Corps uniform while raising her blade. The character Levi is depicted dodging sideways in midair while holding his weapon, with the omnidirectional movement device activated. Both stand approximately 6.3 inches tall, with dynamic poses that are a great representation of their actions in the animated series. They are expected to finally release in November 2024, when each will retail for $50 USD.
