How does the Total Anime Izuku Midoriya compare to all the other Deku figures on the market?

Hello! I recently did a data visualization of ships fics on ao3, and, because I had an excel file of figures, an user encouraged me to post that as well!

Here I just want to compare the figures (funko, scale, prize, nendoroids, toys etc.) released for BNHA, compare it with other manga/anime and then check who are the popular characters.

My hero academia has 562 figures registered on MyFigurecollection. I will only use data from that website, and bear with me, I hope I don't miss any doubles! I will only consider figures as they are better tracked than other goods (plush, badges etc.). Count that I am not distinguishing between the scale figures (that can be pretty expensive, like ARTFJ or Revoltech - which I just bought btw, bye money) and more affordable figures (ex. the Banpresto line Age of Heroes).

Also, be mindful that all the data is about figures produced, not sold. Still, I would imagine that the more the demand (especially for certain characters), the more the production.

BNHA vs OTHERS

Comparing it with the most popular manga (calculated in sold tankobon over 100 million copies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_manga) we have

(bigger resolution)

(Touch is not in the list because I could not find the page on Myfigurecollection. Oishinbo is not in the list because it's a cooking manga).

As you can see One Piece is immensely popular in figures production too. BNHA, even if is not one of the most sold manga is here in the 6th place.

I then decided to see what is the rate of release for these figures. As this is just for fun I decided to do it pretty roughly by dividing the years the manga has been out for the amount of figures, basically calculating a "number of figures per year" value. Keep in mind that this has limitations regarding the possibility that recent years figures production could have increased and become cheaper.

(bigger resolution)

I was definitely surprised to see that not only One Piece is still first, but one of the most recent manga is actually second in figures per year (Demon Slayer). BNHA is at the fourth place.

Now, I realize that most popular manga is not always easily translated in most popular figures, but sadly I could not find a way to search for most popular franchises on MyFigurecollection. Still, none of the previously named manga is in the top 100 figures of the website (I really underestimated the popularity of Fate and Hatsune Miku).

Now, let's look at the BNHA figures!

(Be mindful that this count will count overlapping figures as well. Ex. if there is a statue of Bakugou and Deku, the count will count 1 for Bakugou and 1 for Deku. For this reason, if you count the total of all the characters you have 580 figures instead of the real number: 562)

CHARACTERS

As expected there are some very popular characters, and then some characters that only have a few figures. Finally, there's 18 characters that only have 1 figure.

Many of those "1 figures" are funko pops or Boku no Hero Academia World Collectable Figures, which are mini figures. Often, characters with 2 figures end up having both.

Let's look at Class 1 A.

(bigger pic)

Checking the total numbers of figures for characters in Class 1 A: none of this is unexpected. Izuku, Bakugou and Uraraka are the top 4 characters, with more or less 20 figures of difference between each of them. Still in the realm of popularity we have Tsuyu, Iida and Kirishima, while other characters ends up with less than 6 figures each, or zero.

(technically Toru Hagakure has....infinite figures??)

Here's some percentages to visualize it better. Bakugou and Izuku together are almost 50% of all the BNHA figures.

For Pro-Heroes

(bigger resolution)

For Pro Heroes only, All Might is the clear popularity winner, with more than 50% of the figures of Pro heroes characters. No other Pro Hero comes even close. But surprisingly, Hawks had an amount of figures comparable with Aizawa.

For Villains

(bigger resolution)

Shigaraki and Toga almost have the same amount of figures (26.23% Shigaraki, with 16 figures, and 24.59% Toga, with 15 figures).

Others

We also have a bunch of other students, each with 1 or 2 figures each (Kendo, Monoma, TestsuTetsu, Camie, Inasa, Seiji, Hatsume Mei, Nejire). These are mainly Funko or those mini mentioned previously.

Eri (3), Tamaki (2), Mirio (7) have instead scale/prize figures.

Looking at all the characters together, I decided to not clutter the pic too much, so I took only those characters that have 4 or more than 4 figures:

(bigger resolution)

And here you go! Deku, Bakugou and All Might are the top 3 released as figures characters.

Surprisingly, all villains are less popular than Tsuyu Auis, who has 22 figures.

Part 2 soon, where we look at what characters is the most sold and preferred  by male owners vs female owners (sadly, the website does not let you pick the right gender people might want, but differentiate only in f and m).
