Not gonna happen, Hiro has a notoriously bland character and outfit design, so non-fans of the series wouldn't have any reason to buy him, and he himself is quite bland as a character, I can't really imagine many people saying Hiro is their favorite character of the show.

Me too I had no problem with him.I don't know why people gets so upset over the so called normal/bland guy from my point of view Hiro has it way more better than real normal guys do he is a special being that gets to pilot an awesome mech with is smoking hot girlfriend lol.

I'm just saying GSC knows their market. There's a reason the Main dude from Konosuba or the main dude from Re:Zero or the main dude from Haruhi Suzumiya or the main dude from Fate Apocrypha haven't gotten any figures whilst multiple female characters of the same shows have. The waifu characters are the ones that will sell the most among the show's hardcore fans, whereas the self-insert male leads rarely make an impact. Even MC that aren't bland by any definition will easily get sidelined in favor of popular female characters -see how long it took them to make a Kamina nendoroid-
As for why people don't like bland main characters, that's really simple. They're boring and uninteresting, there's nothing to make the audience root for them. It also challenges disbelief that the whole series will revolve aroud how "special" they supposedly are, when what the audience is shown is that there is actually nothing particularly special or unique about them

The figure market is still girl figures first. While they are making more male figures, I wouldn't expect a Hiro, but you never know. Ichigo was announced months back.

Zero Two seems to be popular and there are currently three figures of her. It is good to see that the Nendoroid figure includes the coat and cap accessories.

For the most part the anime figure market is based on target demographic. The shows that are aimed at men will get female figures while the shows aimed at women will get male figures. There are exceptions to that for the popular shows and I think there is a small chance that we could see a Nendoroid figure of Hiro.

Actually, Kazuma and Kyon DO have their own Nendoroid figures, While yes the females tend to have more, a guy getting a figure isn't exactly out of the realm of possibility, Figures of the males COULD be made if their decently popular enough to make a profit or are at least likable enough, though, sometimes that isn't enough it seems, since there's a couple of Fire Emblem characters for instance I think would be popular enough to make some money off of figures/statues, but none have popped up.
On a similar note, Link has a plethora of figures and such, while Zelda, Midna, and so many other females don't have anywhere near the amount he does, and LoZ is a series enjoyed by both genders, so I dunno.
I wouldn't turn down a Hiro Figma or Nendoroid to go with the Zero Two Nendoroid AND Figma I plan on getting though, it'd be nice to display them together, Personally though I'd more want a figure of Klaxo-Hime/001, but I doubt she'll be getting one anytime soon considering what little they did with her in the Anime.....

Sorry I should of said some people and for the record I don't find Hiro boring or uninteresting and I am sure it has other people who thinks the same,well I could see where you are coming from just as you hate main characters like Hero I hate childhood friend with a passion,gosh they are the worst trope in anime even worst than moe.
