Top 5 most wanted Mcfarlane My Hero Academia figures
I just managed to catch up on My Hero Academia season 4 and absolutely loved it, this show has hooked me like so many others and to go along with the series I'm enjoying Mcfarlane's output of figures based on this show as well! The upcoming All for One and Aizawa figures both look fantastic, and I'm so excited for him to keep working through the great cast of characters we've gotten to know through the series! Plenty of Class 1A and even the villains have gotten decent representation from the toy line; however, there's still plenty more to be made and some big ones that have made my list here!

Starting off with a couple of honorable mentions. I can see the recent UA uniform Bakugo figure being reused ad nauseum to give us many of the main characters who also wore these outfits throughout the show, such as Deku, Kirishima, Todoroki, basically everyone from the school. One I would really like to get with this mold though is Shinso, who had a great episode in season 2, and looks to be making a big come back in season 5! Also in the honorable mention slot because I had to mention him, but he just barely didn't make the top 5, is the new number 2 hero: Hawks! His role in the finale of season 4 was fantastic, his wings would make such a cool design for a figure, and I'm excited to see more of him in the show's future!
Starting off my top 5 most wanted My Hero Academia figures is one of the characters introduced in season 1 who I think is becoming more and more of a glaring omission as the line goes on. She's become a staple of the cast and one of the core characters from class 1A, with a versatile and incredible ability to produce any object from within her body. Season 5 looks to be adding a cape to her design, so whether Mcfarlane includes the cape or not, I hope soon to be able to display Momo with her other classmates.
This would likely be one of the easiest on this list to achieve, and I truly hope Mcfarlane takes this opportunity to give us a second version of the best villain from the show in my opinion. His ultimate arrival and fight in season 3 remains my favorite span of episodes from the show, with the villain being charismatic, scary, and a true threat unlike anything we've seen in the show before and after that point. His upcoming figure looks amazing, and I adore that Mcfarlane gave him his immense arm used during his final attack on All Might, but an easy arm swap and head swap would give us All for One's undamaged look from the beginning of the fight which I'd be all too happy to buy as well to have both of All for One's big looks from the show!
Seen throughout season 1 as the number 2 hero, with a proper introduction and characterization given to him throughout season 2 as Todoroki's abusive father, Endeavor is a character who really wowed me in season 4. His default rise to number 1 hero was an interesting transition to watch him go through, especially as he vowed to become someone Todoroki could be proud of, and the final episode of season 4 cemented Endeavor as one of my all time favorite characters in the show. We truly got to see him delved into as a character like never before, and he showed the world that he could be a hero worthy of the number 1 spot.
While I wasn't a big fan of Overhaul himself, that arc gave amazing episodes to a lot of other characters and one character who we met at the end of season 3 who got an amazing season 4 role was Mirio Togata, Lemillion! His use of an intangibility ability is so cool and unlike anything I've seen that power used for in other media, and I love his heroic, positive attitude. It cannot go without mentioning too the amazing fight scene in which he aimed to protect Eri from Overhaul, taking a true beating, and showing that if All Might hadn't met Deku, Lemillion would have been another perfect choice to pass One for All onto.
I think that out of all the characters in the show we've been introduced to that haven't received figures yet, this character is the most glaring omission. Froppy has been part of the show since season 1, and one of the core friends in Deku's immediate friend group, constantly being a pillar of support and one of the strongest and skilled members of the class! She's gotten a few great episodes to show off her character, and I'd love to see her green and black hero costume put to figure form from Mcfarlane! With every new figure revealed, it is more and more evident that Froppy hasn't been made yet.
