My Hero Academia's final season is getting its own dedicated Kotobukiya figure for Katsuki Bakugo. Confirmed via Kotobukiya's official colored prototype reveal, the ARTFX J Katsuki Bakugo FINAL SEASON Ver. 1/8 scale figure is priced at 36,300 JPY, slated for release in February 2027.
This is a confirmed release with locked pricing, so here's what's included.
Kotobukiya's official reveal confirms the following:
Rather than a general-purpose Bakugo figure, Kotobukiya built this piece specifically around his final-season look and characterization, giving it a distinct identity from the studio's earlier Bakugo -The Beginning- release and from other companies' Bakugo figures already on the market.
With a colored prototype already revealed and a February 2027 release scheduled, this figure has a longer lead time than most of Kotobukiya's other current pre-orders. That gives collectors more time to plan a purchase, but it also means pricing and final production details could still see minor adjustments before release.
For a premium 1/8 scale figure like this, EVORETRO's acrylic modular case keeps the sculpt and paint dust-free.
For giving Bakugo shelf presence, EVORETRO's 4-step acrylic display stand adds a dedicated tier alongside other My Hero Academia figures.
Kotobukiya's original ARTFX J Bakugo -The Beginning- captured the character early in the series, before his design and demeanor shifted alongside the story's progression. This FINAL SEASON Ver. is a deliberate bookend to that earlier release, giving collectors two distinct points in Bakugo's character arc rendered in the same premium 1/8 scale format rather than one generic, era-agnostic figure.
Revealing a fully colored prototype well over a year ahead of the confirmed ship date is standard practice for Kotobukiya's higher-tier ARTFX J releases, giving the company time to gauge pre-order demand and make final production adjustments. Collectors shouldn't expect major sculpt changes between now and release, but minor color or accessory tweaks are possible before the figure ships, which is worth keeping in mind when comparing prototype photos to the eventual retail product.
36,300 JPY, roughly $245 USD.

It's built specifically around Bakugo's appearance in the anime's final season.
This Bakugo figure gives My Hero Academia's final season a premium, dedicated collectible distinct from Kotobukiya's earlier releases. With a February 2027 window confirmed, it's worth planning ahead for display space.
Having a case and stand ready keeps the figure protected and properly displayed once it ships.
