Mikasa Ackerman Attack on Titan - Figures

Attack on Titan is a manga series written and illustrated by Hajime Isayama and first published by Kodansha in September 2009. Today, dozens of readers of the manga have been captivated by its post-apocalyptic setting, intense action scenes, endearing characters, fascinating mysteries, and much more. Due to the manga's success, Attack on Titan received its first anime adaptation in April 2013, which took the series' popularity to a whole new level. Currently, there are over thirty volumes of the manga produced, as well as multiple OVAs, video games, films, and, of course, many types of merchandise. Mikasa Ackerman figures are particularly popular among fans, the most popular being the "Mikasa Ackerman 1/7th Scale Figure," the "Mikasa Ackerman figma," and the "Real Action Heroes 648 - Mikasa Ackerman."

Mikasa Ackerman 1/7 Scale Figure

This Mikasa figure freezes her in time as she prepares to swing her ultra-hard steel blades at a massive Titan. Many details are carefully sculpted into this figure to recreate Mikasa as accurately as possible, such as her Survey Corps uniform, the Vertical Maneuvering Gear and the many straps and buckles attached to her harness, as well as the red scarf Eren gave her when she was young. Despite being in the middle of a Titan attack, Mikasa displays a calm and cool expression, showcasing her quiet nature and incredible fighting skill. The base of this figure also features part of a passing Titan's hand, as if it attempted to strike Mikasa before she deftly dodged it.

Mikasa Ackerman figma figure

This figure from Max Factory's popular figma line features Mikasa with multiple points of articulation and additional parts that allow fans to pose her in different ways and recreate their favorite scenes from the anime or manga. These points of articulation are primarily found in the arms and legs, the most movable parts of the human body. While simple standing poses are certainly achievable, this figure lends itself much better to more dynamic action poses. This is further aided by the inclusion of Mikasa's ultra-hard steel blades, vertical maneuvering gear with hooks and wires, and an articulated stand that can hold the figure in the air. This figure also includes three different expressions to allow for a variety of different poses.

Real Action Heroes 648 - Mikasa Ackerman Figure

This Medicom Toy figure features Mikasa with several interchangeable parts that can create several different poses. One pose shows her standing and equipped with her vertical maneuvering gear and blades, ready for another battle against the Titans. Other parts can be used to show Mikasa in the heat of battle as she glides through the air as she prepares to strike an enemy. Additionally, this figure comes with alternate heads with different facial expressions and a removable Survey Corps cape. One unique thing about Medicom Toy's Real Action Heroes line of figures is that their clothing is made with real fabric to give them a more realistic feel. While this comes at a rather high price, dedicated Mikasa fans will definitely want to add this figure to their collection.

About Mikasa Ackerman

Mikasa Ackerman is a member of the Special Operations Squad and the adopted sister of the protagonist, Eren Yeager. She is often seen as reserved and quiet, but Mikasa cares deeply for her friends and comrades, often treating them like family. At a young age, her parents were killed, and she herself was almost sold by human traffickers, though she was saved by Eren. From that day on, Mikasa acted as Eren's protector and would often rush to his aid if he found himself in trouble. This protective nature continued even after Eren joined the Survey Corps, even though Mikasa simply strives to live a simple and safe life. Despite wanting a simple life, Mikasa is an incredibly capable soldier and is often considered one of the best of her generation.

Other important characters in Attack on Titan

Armin Arlert is Mikasa and Eren's childhood friend and someone Mikasa trusts completely. She often relies on his incredible strategic talent in times of need. Her initial attitude towards Captain Levi was quite hostile, as one of her earliest interactions with him involved Levi physically abusing and restraining Eren because he couldn't bring himself to trust someone who could transform into a Titan. As time went on and they worked more as a team, Mikasa began to trust Levi more, but still hasn't completely forgiven him for what he did to Eren. Levi and Mikasa also share the surname Ackerman, indicating that they are related in some way, though the extent of their relationship is unclear.
