"The Colossal Titan has appeared! Investigation begins!!!"
Japanese company Bushiroad Creative's gashapon brand TAMA-KYU (たまきゅう) is set to release a new product in late January 2023 that can easily integrate into the lives of all you toy enthusiasts: the "Hanging Giant Survey Corps" (ぶらさがる巨人調査隊)!
Assuming gashapon toys are sentient, then humans would undoubtedly be a colossal, unknown species to them. This "Hanging Giant Survey Corps" gashapon series is designed around the theme of ultra-miniature squad members conducting covert ecological surveys of the "Human (Ningen)" giant race. Measuring 5-7 cm, various survey squad members are crafted, including those climbing upwards, scouting, in a precarious situation, and interesting designs sleeping in various colored sleeping bags, resembling bagworms.
According to the official images, most of these survey squad members feature hooks extending from their main bodies, or they can be secured in various places using their pickaxes. While the sleeping bag designs have some slight repetition, which is a minor drawback, collecting a few of them to play with sounds incredibly fun!
