Fans of My Hero Academia will soon be able to add a new collectible to their shelves. Bandai Spirits’ TAMASHII NATIONS division has just revealed their latest addition to the famous S.H.Figuarts line: Shoto Todoroki. Following the release of Bakugo Katsuki, this highly anticipated action figure marks the third character from the My Hero Academia universe to be made into a fully articulated figure by S.H.Figuarts.
Shoto Todoroki, known by his hero name Shoto, is the son of the No. 2 Pro Hero, Endeavor, and has inherited a unique quirk, “Half-Cold Half-Hot.” This quirk allows him to generate and control ice on his right side and flames on his left, making him one of the most influential students at U.A. High School. However, his complex relationship with his father and the trauma surrounding his quirk led him to refuse to use his fire abilities in the early stages of the series. As the story progresses, Shoto learns to embrace both sides of his power, unlocking his full potential.
The newly announced S.H.Figuarts Shoto Todoroki figure is based on his appearance in the dramatic showdown with Dabi during the seventh season of the anime. This moment in My Hero Academia is pivotal, as it reveals shocking family secrets and showcases Todoroki’s full mastery of his ice and fire abilities.
From the preview images released, fans can see that this action figure captures Todoroki’s intense expression and the iconic burn scar on his face, a mark left by his mother during a tragic moment in his childhood. His hero costume is faithfully reproduced, with all the necessary gear from his utility belt to his specialized boots. The figure also includes stunning flame and ice effect parts, allowing fans to recreate Todoroki’s signature dual-element attacks.
The articulation of the S.H.Figuarts line is another standout feature, ensuring that this Todoroki figure is as poseable as detailed. Whether you want to display him mid-attack, using his fire, or encased in ice, this figure provides plenty of dynamic posing options. Adding effect parts adds to the playability, allowing collectors to recreate epic battles from the series.
Although the official release date and price for the S.H.Figuarts Shoto Todoroki figure have yet to be announced, fans eagerly await further details. Based on the level of detail and articulation typical of the S.H.Figuarts line, this figure will surely be a hit with My Hero Academia collectors and action figure enthusiasts alike.
