Izuku Midoriya figures are very popular amongst the fans of My Hero Academia, an anime and manga series. The superhero anime series began airing in the summer of 2016 and is still ongoing as of 2019. It has also released two full-length movies; My Hero Academia: Two Heroes, and My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising. Izuku Midoriya figures often portray the character in his hero costume or his school uniform. As the series follows Izuku (who also goes by his hero name Deku) and his journey to control and strengthen his new quirk, One For All, fans love to see him in action. Many of Izuku’s figures portray him in fighting stances or mid-battle. Izuku is usually hesitant and anxious, so fans love to see his more serious and confident expressions as well. Figures range in design, size, and material. Here are some popular Izuku Midoriya figures described below.

His red sneakers match the tie and are the very same sneakers included in the first variations of his hero costumes. The buttons and belt buckle are detailed in gold. He also carries a yellow knapsack with brown straps. This Deku figure is a great throwback to early episodes when Izuku defied all odds of the quirk test and was accepted into U.A.

About the Character

Izuku Midoriya also goes by the name Deku, a childhood nickname given to him by his frenemy and classmate, Katsuki Bakugo. Deku can sound like the word for ‘useless person’, which Bakugo felt suited him as Deku was born without a quirk. The name can also sound like ‘dekiru’, a Japanese word that means ‘can do’. Deku decided to embrace this nickname and chose it to be his hero name. Despite being born without a quirk, Deku remains determined to become a hero and follow in the steps of his role model turned mentor, All Might. All Might has chosen Deku to become his successor as the top hero and gave him the quirk One For All. Though often scared and unsure of himself, Deku uses his new quirk to do his best and fight against the terrifying League of Villains.

Reviews

Reviews for Deku figures are all very positive, and the figures themselves are well-made. Fans love the attention to detail in the figures and enjoy collecting figures that portray the character from their favorite scenes. Deku is a lovable and relatable character, so it is no surprise his figures would be in high demand. Figures often sell out quickly, even those which are yet to be released. Pre-orders are made available for figures launching soon, but these pre-orders are often filled quickly.
