Attack on Titan exploded unto the anime scene last year and proved to be a big hit with action anime enthusiasts. I myself became quite a fan after watching the first few episodes and eventually blogged about my thoughts on the first season while I wait to hear when the second season will be coming out!
The most popular character in Attack on Titan (or Shingeki no Kyojin as it is know in Japan) is Levi a leading soldier in the Survey Corps, and is said to be humanity’s most powerful soldier. He was also the squad leader of the Special Operations Squad. He is rumored to have originally lived like a thug and participated in underground crime before he became a soldier.
A 60-centimetre figurine of Levi costing just under 124,000 yen or about US$1200 went up for pre-order recently and was sold out in less than two hours. The limited-edition doll comes in a boxed set which includes a full costume, make up, a wig, interchangeable eyes, shoes, two blades, and a certificate of authenticity.

That’s pretty crazy. I could never afford that but I do want some more episodes of this series. It’s just so intense.
I am hearing that there is live-action movie planned for 2015!
That figurine is pretty awesome, I’ll admit. I really like the details of the face as well as the ensemble. The price on the other hand is a tad, hmm, there’s so much one could do with US $1200… again, its a cool figurine but not for that price. [eek] Thank you for sharing 🙂
usually those figures increase and value and can be worth a small fortune in a few years

Jonathan Pritchett is so off the mark as to what Calvinists believe in this post that I can’t stand it. I don’t even know where to begin to refute it as it would take hours. I could hardly read the post it was so distorted and full of error concerning reformed theology.
Okay I’m convinced. Let’s put it to action.
Thanks Abhijit. Yes, I will need a lot of help from well wishers like you. Just like it takes a village to raise a kid, it takes a community to build a cable. I have a singular focus — on helping the carriers as much as I can to break down barriers so they can do their business as easily as possible.
