The series includes 4 types of products, each using the same new artwork of the 5 characters:

- Acrylic cards: portrait cards with the character's name in gold lettering and the Attack on Titan logo along the bottom.
- Acrylic stands: full-body standees of each character on a checkered base.
- Acrylic panel: a single panel with all 5 characters lined up against a wall, their names printed underneath.
WIT STUDIO lists the pre-order period in Japan time, from 6 PM on November 18 to 11:59 PM on November 29. Prices have not been listed yet, and the products are not up on the store page ahead of the launch.
The Characters' New Outfits
The sample images show each of the 5 in everyday clothes rather than Survey Corps uniforms. Eren wears a white hoodie with a cord necklace, and Mikasa has her red scarf over a black jacket and a long cream lace dress with brown boots. Armin is dressed in a gray sweater vest over a white collared shirt.
Levi wears a black button-up shirt and gray slacks with his Survey Corps jacket, wings emblem included, slung over his shoulder. Erwin is in a brown pinstriped shirt and matching trousers, holding a book in his hand. On the acrylic panel, the 5 stand in a row from left to right: Erwin, Armin, Eren, Mikasa and Levi.
WIT STORE is part of IG Port's official online store, which sells goods from WIT STUDIO and Production I.G productions. Its Attack on Titan section currently lists 279 products, including a newer line of 3,300 yen kokeshi mini figures of Eren, Mikasa and Armin as children, along with matching Levi and Erwin figures that have already sold out. The store's Armin Birthday Set 2026, priced at 5,500 yen, is also sold out.
WIT STUDIO And Attack On Titan
The Attack on Titan anime is based on Hajime Isayama's manga, which ran from 2009 to 2021. WIT STUDIO, part of IG Port, produced the first 3 seasons with director Tetsurō Araki, starting with the series premiere on April 7, 2013, before MAPPA took over for the final season. The anime ended on November 5, 2023, and the compilation film Attack on Titan: The Last Attack, covering the finale, was released in Japan on November 8, 2024.
The story follows Eren Yeager and his childhood friends Mikasa Ackerman and Armin Arlert, who join the Survey Corps after Titans break through the wall around their hometown. In the Survey Corps, they serve under Commander Erwin Smith and Captain Levi Ackerman, the other 2 characters featured in the Cherished series. Hiroyuki Sawano composed the music for the WIT STUDIO seasons and returned for the final season alongside Kohta Yamamoto, even though he turned down the first offer to score the show, as covered in Hiroyuki Sawano Almost Never Scored Attack On Titan After Turning Down The First Offer.
WIT STUDIO returned to the franchise earlier this year with monthly illustrations by Kyouji Asano, the chief animation director of the first 3 seasons, as covered in Wit Studio Announces New Attack On Titan Project For Fans By The Chief Animation Director. September 9 is also now registered as Attack on Titan Day in Japan, which is detailed in September 9 Is Now Officially Attack On Titan Day After Japan Registers The Day.
