It should be no surprise, then, that a years-old life-size figure of Astro Boy would command unreal amounts of money.
As one of the most influential titles in the history of anime, Neon Genesis Evangelion is no stranger to over-the-top marketing from its production studio, Gainax. However, these life-size figures raise the bar for superfluity by even their own standards.
The reason figurines can be so expensive is that there are many that are limited edition. That means there are only a few of its kind in the world. This is the sort of merchandise that sells fast. It already starts out expensive, but then many buyers re-sell them for an even higher price to get a profit. The price can also depend on how popular the anime is, as well as the size and detail of the figurine. Here are 10 pieces of some of the most expensive anime merchandise you can buy online.
This Fairy Tail statue is all that, as it has Natsu along with Fire Dragon Igneel. IF you see the statue fully, you can see that LEDs make both the flames and dragons' eyes glow.
It is also a very popular anime and this greatly influenced the industry. This figure costs over one thousand dollars.
8 One Piece God Enel Statue - $1,676.00. One Piece has been the most popular anime in Japan for a long time, so it has a ton of merchandise. It also has a ton of episodes, which means more characters, and even more figurine possibilities.
It really should be seen fully to get why it costs so much. There are a total of six characters in one statue!
Hatsune Miku is not exactly an anime character, she is a Vocaloid and is not from any show. However, nearly every anime fan knows her face. She is a robot pop-star and has a ton of merchandise that sells well. As for figurines, she also has tons, including different outfits, hairstyles, and themes.
Naruto is another anime giant with many episodes, characters, and merchandise. One could easily create a Naruto museum of just figurines. However, they are not all made the same. While this Pain figurine looks simpler than some of the others on this list, it is limited edition and is now quite rare and expensive.
Smaller production runs can ensure that companies don’t waste money or resources.
While anime has become vastly more popular worldwide, the number of people who watch anime isn’t as big as some demographics, like sports fans.
Just like any other product, the higher the quality, the higher the price tag.
Merchandise companies that produce anime figures and other goodies, like any company, do not want to get sued over copyright.
The most powerful tool in any company’s arsenal when creating a product is its research and development team.
Anime figure designers and factory workers aren’t the only ones getting paid to work on a single type of merchandise such as anime figures.
If you’ve ever gotten an anime figure from Japan, you may have noticed how high in quality the box and packaging were.
The third most expensive Amiibo is Luigi with a missing left hand. It’s pretty clear where this Amiibo’s value comes from, as figures with missing parts, in good condition and factory sealed, can be worth a fortune. Now, unlike the majority of the list, this one sold at auction, which means it’s worth its valuation.
Estimated Value: $130. Poochy is a small, adorable looking dog that was first introduced to the Nintendo-verse in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island. He’s a real asset to Yoshi in the game as he can walk over lava and all sorts of dangerous terrain, allowing Yoshi to cross safely.
After more than 100 bids from 17 people, the factory-sealed Legless Princess Peach Amiibo sold at auction in 2014 for a whopping $25,100! It’s not entirely clear why the legless version of Princess Peach is deemed more valuable than other defective Amiibos, but for some reason, it is.
Estimated Value: $2,500. Samus Aran from Metroid was part of the first wave of Amiibo figures released in 2014. Just like the above mentioned Luigi, this version of Samus was defective, which makes it extremely valuable.
Released on February 23, 2016, Golden Mega Man Amiibo quickly sold out across North America. The reason for this is that it’s a special edition version of the Amiibo figure that came with the Mega Man Legacy Collection in 2016.
Well, as part of the 30th-anniversary series, Nintendo decided to release a two-pack Amiibo set featuring Link and Zelda in their Wind Waker, toony form. While you can get the standard individual Toon Link and Zelda Amiibos pretty easily, getting your hands on one of these exclusive figures is a lot more complicated.
