F4F My Hero Academia All Might Figure Photos & Videos! (ECCC 2019)

Posted on by March 24, 2019

In October 2017, First 4 Figures posted their official interest poll for statues of popular anime series My Hero Academia. It took a long time and a lot of negotiable, but F4F managed to secure a license for MHA. And last weekend, about 17 months after the official poll was posted, collectors finally got to see prototypes of the first three releases in the F4F My Hero Academia line—which happen to be F4F’s first-ever AFs (Action Figures): three different versions of the #1 Hero, All Might! Couldn’t be at ECCC? I’ve got you covered with hi-res photos and videos!

That’s right, MHA fans: if you’ve got a favorite version of All Might, First4Figures probably has that version coming as an action figure—beginning with Silver Age, Golden Age and Casual iterations!

If anyone wants a photo of a particular version from an angle I didn’t include here, leave a comment and I’ll upload one.

He’s actually more of a prop replica, as these are meant to be representative of the actual All Might figures Deku has in his dorm room in My Hero Academia.

Basically, send out affordable, small-sized All Might figures into the marketplace so that anime fans who have never heard of First4Figures will have the opportunity to learn about the company and come on-board for the larger resin pieces coming down the road.

It will be very interesting to see which version eventually ends up selling the best!

Emerald City Comic Con 2019 All Might Figures F4F First 4 Figures All Might Golden Age Figure Card Emerald City Comic Con All Might Silver Age First 4 Figures PVC StatueThe prototypes shown at Emerald City Comic Con 2019 were still made of resin, so it’s likely 3-4 months away from when the PVC tooling will be prepared and pre-orders will open up. In addition, some revisions are still being made (such as Golden Age All Might’s belt buckle being slimmed down). F4F expects to sell one version of All Might every 1-2 months and spread them out, rather than putting them all up for sale at once.

Nothing beats still photographs for me, but I know some of you guys are into videos, so I’ve also included videos of all three versions of All Might above and below.

If everything goes smoothly, I anticipate seeing the first First4Figures All Might PVC Statue/Action figure up for PO in mid-summer. Expected price-point is below $100, as all F4F PVCs have been to-date. I’ll continue to post the livestream recaps and updates here, so stay tuned for the latest news on this hotly-demanded line.

Now that you’ve seen an extensive amount of photos and videos of them, how do you feel about F4F’s first foray into MHA (and action figures)? Which of these All Mights (if any) will you be snatching up, and are there any other costumes of the #1 Hero you’d like to see made?
