Best Collectible Statues and Figures
15. Disney Classic The Lion King Deluxe 1/10 Scale Limited Edition Statue
First on the list today is from Iron Studios for Disney and is for one of the best Disney films, a classic, The Lion King. While everyone has a favorite movie, The Lion King is surely in the top ten for most people.
Replicating one of the most striking scenes, this statue shows off Pride Rock with Rafiki raising the prince, Simba, with his parents in tow, the proud Mufasa and Queen Sarabi, as well as their butler Zazu.
It’s a beautiful piece showcasing that scene, and you can practically hear the opening song being played while looking at the details of the trees below and the proud expressions on the character’s faces. At a staggering price of $799, this is a statue for collectors.
14. Pokemon ArtFX J Juliana with Sprigatito 1/8 Scale Figure
Pokemon is one of the leading franchises when it comes to video games. The franchise has been going strong for decades and isn’t slowing down.
Most of us have played at least one game at some point in our lives, whether it was on the DS, Switch, or even our phones (like the rise of Pokemon GO). From the several movies and television shows to the collectible card games, there is so much out there that surrounds that franchise.
If you’re a fan who wants the best collectible statue regarding Nintendo’s iconic creation, then check out this one by Kotobukiya. It features Juliana and Sprigatito from Pokemon: Scarlet and Violet and is priced at $185.
13. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Raphael Figure
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles never looked better than they do in the Alloy Mecha Turtle series by Heat Boys. Raphael is next on the list for being transformed and boy does he look ready for battle. If you want to get ahold of the best collectible statue for the start of the year, then this is the one to look at.
This figurine features Raphael in his suit with a pair of metal power arms, 2 drilling energy light beam cannons, 2 giant claws, and so much more (like a mechanical pizza because why not?) to enhance your playing and creation experience.
12. Marvel Infinity Saga Black Panther
Collectible statues and collectible figurines are about holding onto memories and stories. It’s about showing off your passion and love for a character or franchise.
The Marvel Universe is full of said characters that many want to remember. One is Black Panther. The 2018 movie starring Chadwick Boseman is one of the best MCU movies out there, and for many of us, it’s stuck with us for more than just it being an MCU movie.
Boseman was the titular character and passed in 2020, leaving the title to Letitia Wright, who plays Shuri, T’Challa’s sister. When we think of Black Panther, though, we think of Boseman, so who wouldn’t want to have his statue in their collection to commemorate him?
11. Michael Jordan 1/4 Scale Figure
It’s important to have a wide range of collectible statues, and one that all fans, even sports fans, would love is the Michael Jordan figuring for $770.
PCS Collectibles created this collectible statue and shows off Jordan jumping for a dunk with a base platform that reads the NBA logo.
Michael Jordan is one of the most influential icons in basketball history and one many want to remember fondly, so it’s no wonder that this highly detailed, very tall statue (sitting at 26 inches high) has the price tag that it does.
10. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Statue Collector’s Edition
If you’re like me then you’re a big fan of the Zelda games. And if you’re keeping up with Nintendo and Switch news, you know that the two recent Zelda games have made a huge impact on Nintendo and Switch sales.
The Zelda franchise has been going strong for years, and thanks to the release of the Switch, Breath of the Wild was able to be released, creating a swarm of old and new fans to get wrapped up in the world with Link, Zelda, and the rest of the characters.
Soon after, Tears of the Kingdom created an even bigger uproar just from the incredible look, feel, and story that it held in a small console. To say Zelda is one of the leading franchises right now wouldn’t be far off, and now you too can hold the impressive Link figurine in your collection for only $110.

1. Star Wars: The Black Series 6″ The Mandalorian
Of course, our number one spot belongs to the mighty franchise that never stops growing and never lessens in popularity, it’s Star Wars. If we think about the reigning champs for franchises in the world, I would think about Star Trek and Star Wars, and potentially The Lord of the Rings with it.
Star Wars is one of those franchises that everyone has heard of, and even if you’re not a die-hard fan, there is at least one aspect of the franchise that you enjoy. The Mandalorian is one such example.
Not many enjoy watching the full series, reading the books or comics, or even playing the games, but something about Pedro Pascal in a helmet and armor with an adorable Grogu as his child just sets everyone’s hearts racing. For only $26, old or new collectible statue and figure enthusiasts can add this amazing choice to their collection.
