A recent announcement about action figures of popular UA students and top pro heroes has stirred mixed reactions online. Fans and characters alike have shared their thoughts, revealing notable sentiments from excitement to mild annoyance.
Mixed Emotions from Our Heroes
According to numerous comments, several UA students have expressed their feelings about seeing their likenesses transformed into collectibles. Deku, embodying his heroic spirit, remarked on being "incredibly gracious" for finally having action figures of himself, hoping they empower young fans the same way hero figures inspired him.
In contrast, Bakugo was quick to voice his annoyance, questioning why Shoto and Deku's figures could be priced higher. "Doesn't Shoto or Deku's somehow priced higher than he?" he quipped, demonstrating classic Bakugo skepticism. Meanwhile, Shoto subtly agreed, noting that his own reflections mirror Deku's sentiments.
Kirishima added a touch of humor, wishing he could be as "manly as these action figures make me seem" but gave a more earnest promise to strengthen that expectation.
"Will not disappoint and strive to match that expectation!" – Kirishima
Behind-Doors Responses from Other Characters
Interestingly, Monoma was suggested to be a model fanboy of his own action figures. Fans joke about his likely admiration of the merchandise, while Bakugo found himself fired up over a commercial line stating, "no one was harmed in the making of this product."
Many speculate that if Tokoyami were a more mainstream hero, Dark Shadow plush toys would be wildly popular among fans. There’s a growing feeling that these figures could add value to the overall culture, driving more fans to engage with UA characters.
A Community Full of Curiosity and Support
Overall, the comments reflect excitement among fans for the chance to see beloved characters in new ways.
Some people mentioned that the original gang of heroes and students might react similarly to how they engaged with the UA Card Game from the OVA.
"If Midoriya sees them, I bet he'd buy them all all to support his friends and classmates," one user noted, showcasing the community spirit embedded within their fandom.

What's Next for the UA Collectibles?
There’s a strong chance that the release of action figures will lead to a surge in merchandise sales, with estimates around 40% growth in fan engagement. As the figures hit store shelves, we may also see an increase in fan art and cosplay centered around these new collectibles. Collectors are likely to spark a wave of discussions on forums, focusing on favorite features and character representations. This buzz can pave the way for future product line expansions, possibly including rare variants or limited editions. As UA continues to capture hearts, leveraging this fan excitement will be crucial to maintaining the momentum.
Echoes of the Past: A Unique Collector's Drive
In the same way nostalgia fueled the rarity and value of comic book collections during the '90s, the action figures of UA characters can be seen as modern artifacts collecting their own cultural significance. Just as comic shops transformed into community hubs for fans to connect over shared interests, today’s online platforms serve a similar role in nurturing the UA fandom. As these action figures enter the marketplace, they may not only bolster the economy surrounding collectibles but could also influence community interactions, pushing discussions beyond mere ownership to a shared sense of identity among fans.
