With the roster of My Hero Academia really getting filled out by the Revoltech line I wanted to give focus to the characters that make up the titular group of the Hero Academia, those are UA alongside Deku that have been growing into heroes as the show has progressed. We've gotten a decent grouping of them from Bakugo to Kirishima and most lately Ochaco; however, UA is home to plenty of great characters and this list will count down my top 5 most wanted UA students in Revoltech's My Hero line.
Honorable mention: Shinso
When he first appeared in the earlier seasons of the series I was a big fan of this character, with his power set, design, and desire to be a hero to prove wrong those who said he would make a great villain. I was thrilled to see him get more focus in the latest seasons, with a whole hero costume designed for him at this point! With Eraserhead's signature scarf being a weapon he uses as well we have a pretty good idea how a figure for him would come out, so half the design work for a potential figure is already done!
5. Suneater
By season 6 I don't feel like this character has been deeply fleshed out; however, his insane power set is one that I love the concept of and would make for an incredible figure! Imagining all the swappable accessory pieces to bring his quirk to life in figure form would make him possibly the coolest figure in the line thus far, and the above image alone showcases three separate transformations to take inspiration from!
4. Lemillion
While Suneater hasn't gotten as much characterization and screentime as I would have liked, Lemillion in his trio is one who has definitely received a hefty amount of screentime, becoming one of the most heartfelt characters in the series especially taking into account his relationship with Eri. Revoltech would be able to give this figure the due in articulation that he deserves, though his powers are ones that doesn't lend itself to plentiful accessories choices unless they do half phased limbs as if he is reaching through other characters!
3. Momo
This is one character I was sad we never got from Mcfarlane, her and the next slot on this list, given how prominent of a character she is in the series. In order to fully round out the core members of the UA first-year students a Momo is sorely needed, and the amount of accessories she could potentially come with would be extensive given how many things she has created throughout the series, and the cape in later seasons would be a nice flair to the figure.
2. Froppy
Even more so than Momo, it is criminal that Mcfarlane never got around to pumping a Froppy out into the wave. She is one of the most endearing characters in the series, with a fun costume design, and a really unique power set. Amazing Yamaguchi could go above and beyond by giving her all of the articulation that is signature of her agility in the anime. not to mention the wild tongue accessory they could potentially pack in.
1. Tenya
Racing to the top spot on this list is Tenya, someone who got a lot of focus really early on in the series especially as it pertained to his hunt for the hero killer: Stain. The overdesigned nature of his costume lends itself to a lot of really cool sculpting techniques for the line, and the exaggerated articulation scheme of Revoltech figures would be a perfect recipe for Tenya to be posed in insane sprinting depictions. If the Flash and Reverse Flash figures are anything to go off of, My Hero Academia's signature speedster is in for great due when Revoltech finally gets to him.
