A Green Suit for Everyone

The anniversary line puts the whole class in formalwear. According to Japanese anime news site Anime Anime, each figure wears a suit accented in green, sculpted with expressions and poses the announcement describes as full of "kosei" (個性). The word for Quirks sits in quotation marks in the original text, so the pun is very much intended.

Banpresto, Bandai Namco's prize-figure label, is handling the line, and the company bills it as the first time every member of Class 1-A has appeared together in its "real figure" style. Collecting all 23 completes the full classroom lineup.

Who Makes the Cut, and When

The number raises an obvious question: Class 1-A has 20 students, so who are the extra three? Per the wave lineup posted for the campaign, they are homeroom teacher Shota Aizawa, All Might, and Hitoshi Shinso, the General Studies kid who spent the entire series clawing his way toward the hero course.

The figures ship in prize assortments of two and three characters each, split across three monthly waves:

  • January 2027: Izuku Midoriya, All Might, Shota Aizawa, Hitoshi Shinso, Denki Kaminari, Kyoka Jiro, Mezo Shoji, and Hanta Sero. Midoriya and All Might arrive together as a two-figure set.
  • February 2027: Ochaco Uraraka, Tsuyu Asui, Tenya Iida, Momo Yaoyorozu, Minoru Mineta, Fumikage Tokoyami, Mashirao Ojiro, and Toru Hagakure.
  • March 2027: Katsuki Bakugo, Yuga Aoyama, Shoto Todoroki, Eijiro Kirishima, Mina Ashido, Rikido Sato, and Koji Koda.

So Deku fans get theirs right away, while Bakugo and Todoroki collectors wait until spring. Bakugo, in a pairing manga readers will appreciate, shares his assortment with Aoyama.

Ten Years, Eight Seasons, 170 Episodes

The anniversary math checks out. The TV anime premiered in 2016 and wrapped in December 2025, when FINAL SEASON aired its last episode and closed the books on eight seasons and 170 episodes. Kohei Horikoshi's original manga, published by Shueisha, has passed 100 million copies in circulation. A full-class figure release timed to the tenth year is the kind of victory lap a finished series gets to take.

Looking Ahead

The official campaign site will update on the 16th of every month, a date the campaign calls "Hero Day," with new product details and behind-the-scenes looks at how the line is being made. Since the products are still listed as under supervision, meaning the final designs are not yet approved, the site is where finished sculpts will surface first.

These are amusement-exclusive prizes, which means Japanese crane games (claw machines) get them first, and nothing has been announced about an overseas release. The series itself is easier to reach: the full anime run streams on Crunchyroll, and Viz Media publishes the manga in English, with chapters also available on Shueisha's Manga Plus service.
