My Hero Academia Figures Guide (2026): Every Line and Where to Buy

My Hero Academia figures come in more shapes than any single shelf can hold, and 2026 has been one of the busiest years yet for Deku, Bakugo, All Might and the villains. Between Bandai's articulated S.H.Figuarts, Good Smile's affordable POP UP PARADE, Kaiyodo's super-poseable Amazing Yamaguchi and the high-end resin statues, a new collector can spend a lot before understanding what each line actually is.

This guide breaks the hero roster into the six figure families that matter, with the sizes, prices and 2026 releases we could confirm from official listings. The goal is simple: help you match a character to the line that fits your budget and your shelf, then point you to where these figures are still in stock from Japan.

My Hero Academia Figures in 2026: The 6 Lines That Matter

Most My Hero Academia figures fall into one of six lines. Three are articulated action figures, one is a chibi, one is the affordable fixed-pose route, and one is the premium scale-statue tier. Here is the quick comparison before we go line by line.

If you want the whole cast on one shelf without breaking the bank, POP UP PARADE and prize figures are the entry points. If you want one hero you can pose, S.H.Figuarts or Amazing Yamaguchi are the pick. Akibato ships My Hero Academia figures from Japan, so if a specific line is what you are building, you can browse the in-stock My Hero Academia figures and Ichiban Kuji prizes here.

S.H.Figuarts: The Poseable 15 cm Standard

S.H.Figuarts, made by Bandai's Tamashii Nations, is the go-to articulated line for My Hero Academia. Figures stand roughly 15 cm tall and balance a high joint count with a faithful anime look, which is why they are the default for collectors who want to recreate fight poses rather than a static display.

2026 has been an unusually full year for the line. According to Tamashii Web's official product list, the confirmed S.H.Figuarts My Hero Academia releases include:

• Armored All Might — April 2026, ¥12,100
• Tomura Shigaraki — April 25, 2026, ¥11,000
• Katsuki Bakugo -The Beginning- — May 2026, ¥11,000
• Overlay Deku — June 2026, ¥11,000
• Koichi Haimawari (Vigilantes) — September 19, 2026, ¥9,900
• All Might — October 2026, ¥12,100
• Izuku Midoriya — November 2026
• Dark Deku — January 2027, ¥12,100; All For One -Final Battle Set- — April 2027, ¥11,000

At retail these run ¥9,900 to ¥12,100. Older poses such as the Golden Age All Might and Full Cowl Deku are discontinued and climb on the second-hand market, so the current wave is the cheapest way in. If you are choosing between S.H.Figuarts and Max Factory's figma, our figma vs S.H.Figuarts comparison covers the trade-offs.

POP UP PARADE and figma: 2 Good Smile Routes

Good Smile Company gives you two very different ways to own the same hero. POP UP PARADE is the affordable, fixed-pose route: the Izuku Midoriya figure is about 160 mm of painted ABS and PVC with a stand included, and launched at ¥3,900. The line is deliberately cheap and quick, with figures typically 17–18 cm and released roughly four months after preorders open. Bakugo, Todoroki and Ochaco all have entries, so it is the fastest way to assemble Class 1-A.

figma, by Max Factory, is the opposite: a fully articulated ~15 cm figure with swappable faces and effect parts. The catch is availability. The figma Deku is discontinued and now trades around ¥15,000 or more on the second-hand market, so it is a display piece you hunt for rather than preorder. If POP UP PARADE is new to you, our POP UP PARADE explainer breaks down sizes and value.

Nendoroid and Amazing Yamaguchi: 2 Ways to Pose Deku

These two lines could not be further apart in style. Good Smile's Nendoroid turns each hero into a ~10 cm chibi with swappable faces and accessories; boxed Todoroki and Deku figures generally sell for ¥5,500–¥7,000. They are compact, cute and easy to display in numbers.

Kaiyodo's Amazing Yamaguchi (Revoltech) line goes the other direction with extreme articulation. The No.022 Katsuki Bakugo stands about 155 mm and is packed with alternate hands, faceplates and explosion effect parts, and there is a matching Deku (No.049). These are the figures that hold the most dynamic poses, but demand keeps prices high on the resale market.

Ichiban Kuji and Prize Figures: MASTERLISE, Grandista, SPM

Prize figures are the cheapest and most fun entry point. My Hero Academia Ichiban Kuji sets appear regularly, and their top-tier statues use Banpresto's MASTERLISE finish — a premium prize-figure grade with sharper paint and sculpt than the standard prize line. You draw a numbered ticket rather than pick a figure, which is part of the appeal.

• Ichiban Kuji (MASTERLISE) — premium prize statues, won by random draw; recent sets have featured Toga, Shigaraki and the heroes.
• Banpresto Grandista — large All Might prize figures, roughly ¥3,500–¥5,500 on the second-hand market.
• SEGA SPM — budget prize figures such as Todoroki, often ¥2,500–¥4,000.

If you are new to the format, our explainer on what the MASTERLISE tier means is worth a read, and you can see the current MHA Ichiban Kuji lineup in our Greatest Hero kuji breakdown.

Scale Statues and Resin: Artfx J, First 4 Figures, the 1/4 Tier

At the top end are pre-painted scale statues and resin pieces. Kotobukiya's Artfx J line offers 1/8-scale Bakugo and Todoroki figures in the ¥13,000–¥16,000 range on the second-hand market — the sweet spot for a display centerpiece without resin prices.

Above that sit resin statues from makers like First 4 Figures, where a Bakugo bust can run ¥45,000–¥60,000, and large 1/4-scale villain statues such as the Shigaraki, Dabi and Toga UPML piece. These are collector-grade, limited-run items rather than shelf fillers. Medicom's MAFEX Silver Age All Might sits between the two worlds: articulated but statue-detailed, it launched near ¥9,800 and now trades far higher.

Where to Buy My Hero Academia Figures From Japan

Most of these lines are made in Japan and released there first. That gives overseas collectors three routes:

• Preorder new releases — best for current S.H.Figuarts, POP UP PARADE and Nendoroid waves at retail price, before they sell out and jump on resale.
• Buy in-stock inventory from a Japan-based store — the simplest option for figures that have already shipped, with no proxy account needed.
• Hunt the second-hand market — the only way to get discontinued figma, older S.H.Figuarts poses and resin statues, but expect a premium.

Akibato ships My Hero Academia figures, prize statues and Ichiban Kuji direct from Japan, so if you are building any of these lines you can check the in-stock My Hero Academia figures here or browse the wider figures collection for related characters. For a broader shopping list, our hub on the most wanted anime figures of 2026 covers what to chase across franchises.

3 Things to Know Before You Start Collecting

• Match the line to the goal. Pose it → S.H.Figuarts or Amazing Yamaguchi. Fill a shelf cheaply → POP UP PARADE and prize figures. Statement piece → Artfx J or resin.
• 2026 is a strong S.H.Figuarts year. All Might (October) and Izuku Midoriya (November) are the headline current-price releases before they hit the resale market.
• Discontinued means resale. figma Deku and older poses only appear second-hand, so buy current waves at retail while you can.

My Hero Academia's cast is deep enough that there is a figure for every budget — the trick is knowing which line you are actually buying. If this guide has you ready to start, browse the in-stock My Hero Academia figures and Ichiban Kuji at Akibato, shipped from Japan.
