The collectible figurines worth watching in 2027 range from an ¥800 capsule toy to a statue costing over ¥200,000. Our top 9 cover Pokémon, Frieren, Dragon Ball, Demon Slayer, Chainsaw Man, Final Fantasy VII, Hatsune Miku and One Piece, and every one is officially announced with a 2027 release date. Many are already open for pre-order in Japan, and popular figures often sell out at the pre-order stage.
We picked a mix of figure types and budgets: scale figures, Nendoroids, action figures, a premium statue, a life-size plush and two affordable blind-box lines. Prices below are the official Japanese retail prices. Prices in Singapore are usually higher once shipping and GST are added. Release months are the Japanese release dates announced by each maker, and dates can still move.

1. ARTFX J Hilbert with Victini (Pokémon Black & White)
Kotobukiya’s 1/8 scale Hilbert stands about 20cm tall with his base, with a separate Victini at about 7cm. It pairs with Kotobukiya’s earlier Hilda with Tepig, so fans of Pokémon Black and White can finally display the Unova trainers side by side. It’s a good pick if you collect both Pokémon cards and figures. (Source)
2. Nendoroid Fern: Winter Outfit Ver. (Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End)
Frieren is one of the biggest anime of the past few years, and this Nendoroid shows Fern in her winter outfit. It’s part of Good Smile Company’s lower-priced “Basic” Nendoroid line and stands about 10cm tall, making it the easiest entry point on this list for new figure collectors. (Source)
3. S.H.Figuarts Son Goku -Return to Earth- (Dragon Ball Z)
This 14.5cm action figure shows Goku in the Yardrat outfit he wore when he returned to Earth, a look that has rarely been made into a figure. It uses Bandai’s movable shoulder system for Dragon Ball figures and comes with swappable expressions, including a Super Saiyan head. Long-time Dragon Ball Z fans will want this one. (Source)
4. PLAY ARTS SHIN Zack Fair SOLDIER 1st Class (Final Fantasy VII Rebirth)
Square Enix’s premium PLAY ARTS SHIN line returns with a 30cm Zack Fair. It includes two faces with movable eyes, the Buster Sword with six swappable Materia, and crossed-arm parts for his classic pose. With the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy still running, Zack is a strong choice for game collectors. (Source)
5. Hatsune Miku Kingyo Ver.
Hatsune Miku figures are among the most collected in the world, and this goldfish-themed (“kingyo”) 1/7 scale figure from Kaiyodo is a large one at about 36cm. Pre-orders opened in September 2026. If you want one showpiece figure for a shelf, this is it. (Source)
6. Prime 1 Studio Concept Masterline 1/6 Tanjiro & Nezuko, Ultimate Bonus Version (Demon Slayer)
This is the “grail” item on our list: a 56cm statue of Tanjiro and Nezuko at 1/6 scale. It’s for serious collectors with display space and budget. Demon Slayer’s popularity is still strong with the Infinity Castle films, and high-end statues like this are made in limited numbers. (Source)
7. Pochita LIFE SIZE DOLL (Chainsaw Man)
Not every collectible has to be a hard plastic figure. MegaHouse’s life-size Pochita is a soft, 60cm doll with movable arms and legs. Pulling its tail gets a reaction, and a built-in voice unit plays five sounds, including barks and growls. It’s a fun piece for Chainsaw Man fans and a good gift. (Source)
8. Pokémon Rain Drop Collection (Re-Ment)
Re-Ment’s blind boxes are small, detailed and affordable. This set has six rainy-day designs, including Charmander, Pikachu with Chikorita, Goomy, Cubone with Tinkatink, and Quagsire. Blind boxes are one of the fastest-growing parts of the collectibles market: one industry estimate puts Asia-Pacific at more than half of global blind-box sales (Global Toy News). (Source)
9. CAPSULEVERSE ONE PIECE 01 (Bandai)
Bandai’s CAPSULEVERSE capsule toys start with One Piece: Luffy, Gear 5 Luffy, Zoro and Sanji, each about 8.5cm tall. At ¥800 per capsule in Japan, it’s the cheapest way to start a One Piece figure collection, and a good match if you already collect the One Piece Card Game. (Source)

How to buy collectible figurines in Singapore
Most of these figures are made for the Japanese market first. Here’s how to make sure you get the one you want.
- Pre-order early. Popular scale figures and statues are made in limited runs. Once pre-orders close, prices on the second-hand market usually go up.
- Buy authentic. Fake anime figures are common on marketplaces. Check the box for the maker’s logo and official licence sticker, and buy from a shop you can contact if something goes wrong.
- Know the total cost. Japanese prices don’t include international shipping or Singapore GST. An online anime shop in Singapore can give you one price that covers everything.
- Expect date changes. Release dates often move by a month or two. A good shop will tell you when a date changes.

Frequently asked questions
What are the best collectible figurines to buy in 2027?
Our top picks are Kotobukiya’s Hilbert with Victini, the Nendoroid Fern winter version, S.H.Figuarts Son Goku -Return to Earth-, PLAY ARTS SHIN Zack Fair, Kaiyodo’s Hatsune Miku Kingyo Ver., Prime 1 Studio’s Tanjiro and Nezuko statue, MegaHouse’s life-size Pochita, Re-Ment’s Pokémon Rain Drop Collection and Bandai’s CAPSULEVERSE One Piece.
Where can I buy anime figures online in Singapore?
You can buy anime figures from online anime shops in Singapore such as Gaming Otaku, which ships within Singapore and can source figures from Japan and other markets. Buying locally means one price in Singapore dollars and a seller you can contact.
What is the difference between a scale figure, a Nendoroid and an action figure?
A scale figure, such as 1/7 or 1/8, is a fixed-pose figure made in proportion to the character’s height. A Nendoroid is a smaller, cute “chibi” figure with swappable faces and parts. An action figure, such as S.H.Figuarts or PLAY ARTS, has joints so you can pose it.
Do collectible figurines go up in value?
Some do, especially limited scale figures and statues from popular series, kept in their original box. Most figures are best bought because you love the character, not as an investment.
