It wasn’t long ago we brought you news of an amazing DOLK doll loved by manga artists for its unprecedented 80 moveable parts and surprising elegance and beauty. Now, the company has teamed up with respected manufacturer I.O.S (Immortality of Soul) to bring joy to another legion of fans, this time with a 60-centimetre figurine based on a popular character from the hit anime series Attack on Titan.
As fans will know, this young man’s name is Levi, and his following is so huge that pre-sale orders for his doll were filled within just two hours of opening, despite a hefty US$1,200 price tag. We take a closer look at the awesome figure and find out what makes it so special.
As an elite member of the Survey Corps, a group of soldiers charged with the job of defending a walled city against human-eating giants, Levi is decked out with Three Dimensional Maneuver Gear, which includes a set of grapple hooks and a gas mechanism that propels the soldiers through the air.
The company behind the figure has done a sterling job of recreating the character’s facial features, including his signature smouldering expression. With a live action movie set to be released in 2015, foreign fans are proposing Edward Furlong play Levi in a foreign movie adaptation.
The face that inspired numerous YouTube makeup tutorials, popular with men and women alike.
The doll is equally impressive even without his cape. No surprise really, as Levi’s character has been one of the most popular cosplay characters of 2013, with even tiny toddlers getting in on the act.
Pre-sale orders came with an expected delivery date of 2014 so these action poses will have to do us until buyer reviews start appearing online.
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. Part of the fun will be putting the doll together and bringing him to life with your own hands.
Given his amazing popularity, we hope more Levi figurines will be hitting the market soon. Until then, we can’t wait to see what other merchandise lies in store for us. Fingers crossed it’s in a more affordable price range!
