My Hero Academia's biggest hero is finally getting a figure to match. Tamashii Nations has officially confirmed S.H.Figuarts All Might for an October 2026 release, and both the official announcement and dedicated toy press are calling it the largest item yet to join the My Hero Academia S.H.Figuarts line. This is the first My Hero Academia guide on this site, so alongside the confirmed release details, this post covers a sizing question that matters more here than for most figures in this line.
Here is what's confirmed about the figure, why its scale is a genuine departure from the rest of the S.H.Figuarts My Hero Academia roster, and what that means for protecting it once it arrives.
Tamashii Nations' own official announcement, corroborated by dedicated toy press, confirms the following:
Both sources describe this as the largest figure to join the My Hero Academia S.H.Figuarts line to date, which is the detail that changes how this release should be planned for compared to earlier figures in the same line.
Most S.H.Figuarts figures, across franchises, tend to land in a fairly consistent height range, which is part of why the line displays so well as a matched set on a shelf. All Might breaks that pattern by design, since his transformed hero form is supposed to look larger than life next to other characters, and Tamashii Nations built the figure to reflect that rather than compressing him down to match the rest of the line's usual scale.
That means a shelf plan built around standard S.H.Figuarts spacing, sized for figures in the 14 to 15cm range, will not comfortably fit All Might once he arrives. Planning shelf height and depth around his actual 19.5cm scale before the figure ships avoids having to rearrange an existing S.H.Figuarts display after the fact.
EVORETRO does not currently carry a box protector sized specifically for this figure, and that's worth saying plainly rather than pointing to a product that will not actually fit. The site's existing character-specific S.H.Figuarts protectors, including options built for Sanji and for the Super Hero Boxed Series line, are sized for smaller figures in that roughly 14 to 18cm range and were never designed around a figure this large.
For a figure this size, once it's out of the box and posed on display, a general-purpose acrylic case is the more realistic option than a snug fitted protector. It won't replicate the exact branding of a character-specific case, but it gives a taller figure a stable, dust-protected home without forcing it into a case built for a smaller mold.
Pre-orders for S.H.Figuarts All Might opened April 3, 2026, well ahead of the October release, which is standard practice for a flagship Tamashii Nations release but still catches collectors off guard if they wait until closer to launch to look for it. Figures billed as the largest or most detailed entry in a line tend to sell through pre-order allocations faster than a standard-scale release, since both display-focused collectors and completionist fans are chasing the same limited run at once.
For collectors outside Japan, that means tracking authorized retailers and proxy-shopping services early rather than waiting for a general on-shelf release, since a figure marketed this way is more likely to sell through initial allocation than to sit on store shelves for months afterward.
All Might's transformed hero form has appeared in smaller-scale merchandise before, but a dedicated S.H.Figuarts release at this size gives the character a level of articulation and accessory support that smaller statues and prize figures don't attempt. The six left hands, five right hands, and four face plates are there specifically so the figure can be posed to match specific iconic moments, from a calm classroom scene to a full-power Detroit Smash, rather than being locked into a single fixed expression.
For a collector building out a My Hero Academia S.H.Figuarts shelf around other Class 1-A students or fellow pro heroes, All Might's outsized scale is best treated as the deliberate centerpiece of that display rather than one more same-sized entry in the lineup. Placing him at the back or center of a shelf, with smaller figures arranged in front, tends to read better than trying to line every figure up along a single uniform row.
Tamashii Nations confirms an estimated October 2026 release, with pre-orders having opened April 3, 2026.
Approximately 19.5cm, making it the largest figure to join the My Hero Academia S.H.Figuarts line so far.
Six interchangeable left hands, five right hands, four face plates, an interchangeable hair part, and smash-effect parts for dynamic posing.
Not the character-specific ones built for smaller figures in the 14 to 18cm range. A general acrylic case is the more realistic option for a figure this size.
S.H.Figuarts All Might is a strong pickup for My Hero Academia collectors specifically because it finally gives the character a figure that matches his in-story presence, but that same scale means treating it like a standard addition to an existing S.H.Figuarts shelf is the wrong approach. Planning for its larger footprint before it ships in October keeps the rest of a display looking intentional instead of cramped.
Once it's out of the box, a general display case built for larger detailed collectibles is the more honest recommendation than forcing it into packaging built for a smaller figure.
