Hanji Zoe Attack on Titan - Figures

Attack on Titan is one of the most groundbreaking manga released in Japan in the last decade. Deep character development, an emotionally driven plot, and a gradually unfolding mystery keep this manga at the forefront of the pack. Even with the gratuitous gore and violence often avoided by younger readers, Attack on Titan has still managed to reach a wide audience and achieve almost unprecedented levels of success. The impressive character development makes it easy to become attached to the manga; a recipe for disaster given the series' propensity to kill off main characters with almost no warning. One character who has a significant impact on the story is Hanji Zoe , leader of the Fourth Squad, and later the 14th commander of the Survey Corps. Hanji's gender is kept ambiguous in the manga by the original creator, but in the anime, Hanji is depicted as female. Here are two figurines that showcase Hanji in all her scientific glory. “Real Action Heroes No. 706: Hanji Zoe” from Medicom Toy and “Nendoroid Attack on Titan Hange Zoë” from Good Smile Company.

Real Action Heroes #706: Hanji Zoe | Attack on Titan Figure

Medicom Toy's Real Action Heroes No. 706: Hanji Zoe is nothing short of a masterpiece. The amount of articulation is astounding, and what's more, the joints are almost entirely hidden by armor or clothing. This is probably as realistic a figure as you can get without sacrificing any of the anime/manga feel. Included are two switchable facial expressions, optional glasses or, in true Zoe fashion, goggles, the Survey Corps' signature green cape, and the revolutionary Vertical Maneuvering Gear. Hanji comes equipped with dual blades, additional hand parts for holding them or gesturing, and a stand. At 30 cm tall, Medicom Toy's figure is large, striking, and stands out well in a display.

Nendoroid figure of Hange Zoë, Attack on Titan

Good Smile Company is a successful figure company. And for good reason: their Nendoroid line is extremely popular, both in Japan and abroad. Nendoroid figures often become collectibles and command high prices on the second-hand market. This shouldn't really be surprising given the quality of their work. Some Nendoroid models are hand-sculpted or, in this case, hand-painted. Hanji comes with a whole host of variable additional parts, including vertical maneuvering gear, dual blades, and hands. She also has the usual smiling face and an excited, drooling scientist face. Plus, she has plenty of articulation for all sorts of poses and displays.

About Hanji Zoe

Hanji Zoe is a member of the Survey Corps, specifically the 14th Commander. She previously led the Fourth Squad, but was appointed commander by former Commander Erwin Smith before his death.

Background

Hanji is generally a calm and collected character who maintains a close bond with her unit. The scientific side of things is also of great importance to Hanji, as Titan research is a very serious and exciting endeavor. When a Titan is captured, Hanji can often be seen drooling at the thought of experimenting on it.

Special Abilities

Hanji displays an above-average level of intelligence, as evidenced by her curiosity about the Titans that capture them and her field research, as well as the development of various tactics and inventions. One such invention was using Eren Jaeger's Hardening Skill to create large guillotine-like structures on the wall. Dubbed "The Executioner from Hell," it allowed for the killing of Titans without using conventional means. Additionally, thanks to the considerable time spent researching and trying to understand Titans, she developed an incredible ability to use Vertical Maneuvering Equipment.

Other important characters in Attack on Titan

Attack on Titan is known for having a wide cast of characters. In addition to the main supporting characters such as Mikasa Ackerman , Armin Arlert, and Levi Ackerman , the supporting characters suddenly transform into major roles in the story. However, there are two characters, in particular, who stand out and left a huge impression on Hanji Zoe. The first is the much-loved and respected commander of the 14th Survey Corps, and the other is the ever-conflicted and often suspicious Eren Jaeger.

Erwin Smith

Erwin was Hanji's commander, and the two often worked together to develop strategies and plans. During the Survey Corps' most difficult times, Erwin and Hanji were always there to ensure everything ran smoothly. Erwin trusted Hanji so much that he included her in high-responsibility missions, such as capturing the female titan. Afterward, he even named her his successor in case anything happened to her.

Eren Jaeger

Eren Yeager was the first known case of a person being transformed into a titan. As a result, he was hated and despised by everyone, likely due to fear and a lack of understanding. However, Hanji was sure of Eren's intentions and, for the most part, supported him and believed in him when no one else would. Hanji was, however, angered when Eren decided to put himself in danger to save his friends and again when Eren broke away from the Survey Corps to form his own splinter group.
