Bandai Spirits Unveils New Katsuki Bakugo Grandista Figure — Release Set for April 2026
Japanese manufacturer Bandai Spirits has officially revealed a brand-new figure of
Katsuki Bakugo from the globally popular anime and manga franchise My Hero Academia.
Known for producing high-quality collectibles and detailed character sculptures, Bandai Spirits is now expanding its
well-loved Grandista line with a fresh rendition of Bakugo that has quickly caught the attention
of figure collectors and anime fans alike.
Release in April 2026
The newly announced Bakugo figure stands at approximately 23 centimeters in height and is crafted
from high-quality ABS and PVC, the standard materials used for most premium
anime figures. Early preview images highlight a powerful and dynamic pose that captures Bakugo’s explosive personality,
along with his signature hero costume and spiky hairstyle rendered with impressive accuracy.
This release will be distributed as a Prize figure, meaning it will debut primarily in
Japanese arcade halls starting April 2026. Prize figures are typically obtained through crane
machines or specialty arcade events in Japan, but international fans will still have the chance to get one through
various online retailers and third-party sellers.
Bandai Spirits has confirmed that pre-orders will soon become available through participating
figure shops. However, retail prices may vary depending on region, shop availability, and international shipping.
Collectors who want to secure the figure early are advised to monitor listings closely, as Grandista figures are
known to sell out quickly — especially when based on a fan-favorite character like Bakugo.
About the Anime
My Hero Academia remains one of the most successful and influential shonen franchises of the last decade.
The anime adaptation currently spans seven full seasons, all of which are available on Crunchyroll
with both German and Japanese dubbing. The highly anticipated eighth season began simulcast
broadcasting on October 4, 2025, picking up the story’s intense final arc and continuing to
expand the world of heroes, villains, and complex character development.
Katsuki Bakugo, one of the series’ central characters, remains a top fan favorite thanks to his fiery personality,
powerful combat abilities, and dramatic character growth throughout the story. Every new figure release of Bakugo
typically attracts widespread attention, making this Grandista version one of the most anticipated figure launches
of 2026.
As excitement grows for both the upcoming season and Bandai Spirits’ new figure, fans can expect more updates in
the coming months as retailers finalize pre-order windows and promotional materials.
