"Wait, aren't those illustrations!?" Mirko and Katsuki Bakugo from the anime 'My Hero Academia' appear as 3D figures that look completely 2D (flat)!

The "Palette Masters Series" developed by BellFine Co., Ltd. is a new type of figure series that achieves a finish as if the characters have jumped out of the world of anime, thanks to the latest 2D-style painting technology.

Pre-orders for two new figures from the anime 'My Hero Academia' (Mirko and Katsuki Bakugo), which create a surprising optical illusion, began on their official e-commerce site on March 6, 2026.

■ Why do they look flat? A new frontier of "Flat x 3D"

The secret to this mysterious visual effect, which looks like a cutout of an anime scene, lies in thoroughly calculated "2D-style painting."

The way light hits, how shadows fall, and the specific highlights characteristic of animation are all painted directly onto the surface of the figure in advance. Marking a departure from traditional 3D modeling, we deliver a surprising visual that makes it seem as if the character from the screen exists in reality.

■ 'My Hero Academia' characters that jumped out of 2D are appearing one after another!

Displaying them together allows you to enjoy a mysterious worldview, as if anime characters have appeared in the real world.
