Reviews
The top members of the 104th Training Corps and Survey Corps are quite popular in the merchandise market. However, the most charismatic and most successful characters among the public are Eren, Levi, and Mikasa. A variety of original products including the latter three characters are available. One such example is the dakimakura of Eren and Levi. Dakimakura are oversized pillow covers that are decorated with images of popular characters from an animated series. This type of product is extremely popular in Japan and tends to sell out very quickly. Attack on Titan merchandise is very diverse and offers a wide range of possibilities to fans of the series. Rubber straps are also highly demanded by fans, as they usually present the characters from the series in a cute or unique way. As such, fans have the opportunity to see their favorite characters both in a variety of poses or styles not found in the original series.
