MCFARLANE TOYS MY HERO ACADEMIA 5” FIGURES WAVE 1
It’s Wednesday, you know what that means… ToyFarce reviews!
This week, we’re having a look at the first wave of My Hero Academia 5” figures from McFarlane Toys! Those figures are basically the McFarlane Toys version of a 5POA (Five points of action) figures, except they have ball joints for the arms and legs. They have very nice details and paint, and most importantly, they’re just $9,99!
The whole wave 1: Izuku Midoriya, All Might and Katsuki Bakugo
First off, Midoriya, or “Deku”. That figure really looks gorgeous. Sure, it doesn’t have the articulations of a Figma or Revoltech figure, but once again, it’s a $9 figure. And to be completely honest, I kinda think this one has a better headsculpt/paint on the face than the Revoltech or Figma ones. It looks way more like his face in the anime than the other ones.

Here’s Deku!
See what I meant with the face? He kinda looks better than the Revoltech or Figma ones to me…
The part of his suit that he never EVER wears is there too!
That is pretty much it for the articulations. (Once again, it’s a $9 action figure)
“This is the story of how I became the NUMBER ONE HERO!”
All Might also looks great. This one is pretty much a smaller version of the bigger action figure McFarlane Toys did, with less articulations. The sculpt and paint are also top notch.
Packaging
“Fear not, citizens, for…”
“I AM HEEEEERE!”
“I am the Symbol of Peace!”
“DELAWARE… SMASH!”
And finally, Bakugo, everyone’s favorite character…not. Bakugo is basically an asshole that also wants to become a hero. The details on this one are also spectacular, apart from his face, which I think is the least accurate one of the 3. All the decadence of his suit is there, from the effects behind his head to his gigantic grenade gloves.
Packaging
Bakugo
“DIE! NERDS!”
“IF THAT IDIOT DIES, I’LL KILL HIM!” (actual quote)
“WHERE IS THAT STUPID DEKU?”
It’s not often that we get 3 very good looking figures for about $30. If McFarlane Toys continues making them and we can get many of the characters, I’ll end up with a shelf full of MHA figures without going bankrupt with Revoltech or Figma prices, so I’m all for it. The second wave of those 5” figures will have Todoroki, Iida and the villain Stain.
Here’s wave 1!
And remember, guys… Go beyond…
PLUUUS ULTRAAAAA!
