FUNKO POP! DELUXE: Attack on Titan - Eren Hardened
Deluxe-size Eren in his crystal-hardened Titan form. 3 lifetime sales. Deluxe figures run larger than standard Pops and use more sculpt detail, which is why this one sits at $16.99 down from $39.99. Good fit for an AOT fan who already owns the standard Eren and Mikasa.
