The Amazing Yamaguchi line of My Hero Academia figures is finally delving into the villainous side of the cast with Shigaraki and Dabi as upcoming releases for the year! They are two fantastic choices to start off with, and with so many spectacular villains from the series I can only hope which ones will join the line next! After Dabi the line has already taken a bit of a break, jumping to Ochaco and Mirko (the first female characters in the line), and I think it'd be about time to reveal another villain! So here are my top 5 most wanted My Hero Academia villains from the Amazing Yamaguchi line!
5. Twice
Twice has a very plain design when it comes to his costume, but the character himself was absolutely entertaining from start to finish and ended up with a fairly upsetting backstory and conclusion to his story! The zany expressions he would conjure up with his mask are alternate faceplates I need Amazing Yamaguchi to include if they ever check off this character in the line, otherwise I'm not entirely sure what could be included as accessories unless they think up some duplicating-item examples.
4. All For One
My all time favorite antagonist from the series is easily All For One, a heartless, cruel villain that stands for everything that All Might and Deku stand against. He is the perfect antithesis to them, and to the heroes of the world as an example of what they're fighting for. While the suited design isn't anything too thrilling, it is the abstract helmet he wears and the quirk abilities he utilizes that can lead to a bombdiggity figure in the line. There's so many appendages that can be included as accessory pieces to display his powers, with the most important being the humongous arm he created during his final battle with All Might. Another really cool alternate hand would be one of the season 7 scenes in which he produces a different quirk out of each of his five fingertips!
3. Toga
With as many females as the line is putting out right now I have hopes that the most prominent female antagonist in the series could be next up to join the ranks! With Ochaco set to join Deku and the others in the heroic side of the line up, it would be a perfect companion piece to have Toga to go alongside Shigaraki and Dabi, as well as having her to pose against Ochaco too! Her unique expressions would be great faceplates to use in the line, and the utilities of her outfit would be lots of sculpting detail for Amazing Yamaguchi to capture.
2. Lady Nagant
Speaking of female characters for the line, the short arc in which Deku faced off against Lady Nagant was a thrilling one with a great demonstration of how far Deku has come as a hero, as well as further establishing how corrupt the government had become. Nagant's design alone is a stellar one, with the purple colors of her outfit and hair, not to mention the beast of a quirk she entails with her arm transforming into a rifle! While her role in the series has been smaller thus far, I think she's made plenty enough impact to warrant a figure, especially with another smaller character like Mirko getting the action figure treatment.
1. Stain
Just the concept of Amazing Yamaguchi's Revoltech line fits Stain so well. The hyper-articulation and slightly stylized nature of the figures would be a perfect wheelhouse for a Hero Killer figure to be inducted into, with the flexible poses he pulled off on screen, along with the strands of scarf and bandana that I think could be handled very well if Eraserhead's scarf is any indication! While he does have a newer costume he has been sporting in the series I think his original design is the one that resonates most with fans, and hopefully whenever he is brought into the line they'll coincide it with a Tenya release!
