So, are the Armored and War Hammer Titans Canon or Cosplay?

I know in the developer stream it was said that the Attack on Titan Collection would be "cosplay," but the in-game descriptions for the Titan skins call them "creatures from a lost realm," as opposed to costumes. They are also classified as Ultra Rare, which I remember @Mandy once said the rule of thumb is that they are entirely new characters. Does that mean you are playing as a scaled-down version of the Titans?

Also, my main point, does this imply that there is a tiny Reiner Braun in the neck of The Armored Titan?

Thanks in advance 😀

    as far as i can tell the "entirely new characters" thing has been completely forgotten since then as multiple ultra-rare cosmetics have been released that feature the same character as the one the cosmetic is for (trickster's valentine's outfit, sadako's rotten remains, etc.).

    Yeah I noticed that it has seemed to change in the past year since Mandy posted that. That's mainly why I was wondering if they were costumes or actual titans, since without God of Desire and Rotten Remains it would've been a little more clear-cut.

    I think it's just cosplay and the description is just fancy writing.

    I wonder why they’re Ultra rares and not legendaries since their licensed.

    So, how I look at it is, DBD is essentially pulling monsters from all times and universes. So, seeing as anime is a form on entertainment, the titans could literally be like a "legend" from another universe. So, I kinda consider them canon. They're taking on the monster form of a legend or myth, kinda like Baba Yaga and Huntress, or the Minotaur and (is it Trapper or Oni?).
