Does anyone here collect Bandai America's second line of anime figures? I purchased the first 3 Naruto figures (Naruto, Sasuke and Kakashi) a year and a half ago, completely forgot about them, then recently found that the line had expanded into One Piece, My Hero Academia and Saint Seiya.
They aren't the best figures I own. They're of a similar quality to Dragon Stars, which is probably to be expected. They're affordable though, and I expect I'll be buying a few more of the Naruto figures in the future, especially with Sakura having recently been announced. I can finally complete team 7.

I currently only own the All Might from the MHA line. On a whole it is definitely much better than the McFarlane and a decently okay stand-in if you can't get the Revoltech. Definitely going to eventually get Sakura and the upcoming SO6P Naruto in hopes they make a Ten Tails Madara.

I got the Mcfarlane All Might who works size-wise, but his head’s way too small. I reckon I’ll be getting wave 2 of the Naruto figures in the next few weeks. They all look decent. I particularly like Gaara. Hopefully the heights aren’t too unrealistic. Gaara should be short and no where near Kakashi’s height. They all seem to be the same so far. |

I like them for the price point, and sadly the SH Figuarts Naruto line seems to have been forgotten, so this is the best bet for a good selection of Naruto figures unless Figuarts comes back. They do all seem to be the same size though. I have them all unopened since I have the figuarts displayed, so I can't tell for sure, but this Gaara looks the same or taller than Kakashi.
I have the One Piece ones also. I've never watched Saint Seiya so I didn't get those, and for some reason I've never seen the MHA ones in any store anywhere.

The AH figure is about the same size as the McFarlane, so I'd definitely recommend picking it up as a replacement. I'm still waiting for Kaiyodo to re-release the Revoltech. |

I haven’t seen the MHA figures anywhere either beyond being overpriced on ebay. One Piece and Naruto are all readily available on Amazon and I even found them in the big comic shop chain here in the UK. I doubt the Saint Seiya figs will be about here. It has near enough no fan traction here as far as I can tell. I do like the look of the One Piece figures. They appear to be improving as they go along so that’s a good sign. I’m all in on the Naruto figs as long as they keep releasing new characters. I think if I’d got into Naruto earlier (I liked it when I was about 12, but have recently been making my way through the entire series) I’d probably have got some of the Figuarts and been really disappointed in this series, but I’m kind of happy I didn’t. |

I'm in the USA; One Piece and Naruto show up regularly in Target and Gamestop, and Saint Seiya is in Gamestop. It's odd that My Hero isn't anywhere, because as far as fan traction goes, I'd guess Naruto/MHA > One Piece >>> Saint Seiya. The One Piece do look really promising too. I have a few of the Variable Action Heroes, which would be the most comparable thing, and while their expressions look great, the quality control and mechanics of some VAH aren't so good. I'm hoping maybe they expand this to include Bleach or Attack on Titan in the future, or maybe Yu Yu Hakusho or Hunter X Hunter if they're doing Saint Seiya, but not at the expense of the existing lines. I'd rather have a couple of extensive lines than scattered characters. |
