Upcoming Anime Figures You Should Watch Out For in 2025

For anime-figure collectors, 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year. With announcements from major brands, new lines and limited editions hitting the shelves, now’s the time to mark your wishlist and set pre-orders. In this article, we’ll highlight both the industry trends you’ll want to know and some specific upcoming figures you should keep an eye on.

Why 2025 Matters for Figure Collectors

Across the hobby market, several shifts are making 2025 especially important:

• Brands are expanding their catalogue of anime characters, including more lines of accessories and smaller “budget” collectibles alongside premium statues. For example, YuMe Toys is launching lines in late-2025 for several major anime franchises. Mojo Nation
• The weekly figure-release news is already active, showing new models, prize figures and announcements for late-2025. Tokyo Otaku Mode+1
• With big anime titles returning or new seasons ahead, the demand for fresh figure releases is high — if you tie releases to popular series timed with new seasons, you’ll find high-enthusiasm markets.

So whether your site focuses on high-end statues or more accessible figures, 2025 gives you many opportunities to highlight what’s “coming soon” and build anticipation on your e-commerce site.

Top Upcoming Figures to Watch

Here are six upcoming or highly-anticipated figure releases for 2025. These are not guaranteed “pre-orders open now” for all of them, but they’re definitely ones worth listing on your site as “watch for this”.

Here’s a little more about each:

• Bandai S.H.Figuarts Ichigo Kurosaki (Bleach): From the mega-popular series Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War, this figure is anticipated for early-to-mid 2025. With its flagship character, high articulation via the S.H.Figuarts line, it’s a great anchor piece for any collector’s display.
• Bandai One Piece Monkey D. Luffy Gear 4 Leo Bazooka: A high-visibility figure from the enduringly popular One Piece franchise. For collectors focusing on shonen icons, this figure has real shelf-presence.
• Banpresto My Hero Academia Combination Battle Izuku Midoriya Finale: This is a more budget-friendly but still collectible figure, tied to My Hero Academia. Good to have as an accessible option for your store’s “must-haves” list.
• Jazwares Jujutsu Kaisen Yuji Itadori Action Figure: Jujutsu Kaisen remains one of the hottest series, so this figure taps into current hype; ideal for fans who follow new anime trend waves.
• Prime 1 Studio Prisma Wing Tokyo Revengers Statue: A luxury piece from Tokyo Revengers, meant for serious collectors. This kind of product helps elevate your store’s premium offering.
• Pop Mart Hirono ’The Pianist’ Figure: A slightly different angle — designer/limited art-style figure, useful for diversifying your catalog and appealing to “collector” segments beyond just action heroes.

How to Feature These on Your Site

Here are some content and catalogue ideas for your website:

1. Pre-order countdown & alert list
   Create a “Coming Soon – 2025 Releases” page. Let visitors sign up for alerts when pre-orders open.
2. Release calendar
   Show a timeline of “Q1 2025 / Q2 2025 / Q3-Q4-2025” releases, with teaser images, expected price ranges, and limited-edition tags.
3. Highlight for different buyer segments
   • Budget-friendly / accessible: e.g., Banpresto figure above
   • Mid-tier: articulation / display value
   • Premium / luxury: statues or big-scale pieces
     This helps you appeal to a range of shopper budgets.
4. Tie to anime series release/hype
   If an anime season premieres in 2025, figure releases tied to that show will likely sell better. Leverage the fandom wave.
5. Educate on authenticity & pre-order caution
   Since many figures are announced well ahead of shipping, remind customers about deposit/refund policies, delays, and authenticity (especially relevant for premium pieces).

Trends to Watch in 2025 & How to Leverage Them

• More mini/“budget” collectible lines — As shown by YuMe Toys expanding lines for anime franchises. Mojo Nation
  Opportunity: Stock some lower-price figures for “entry-level collectors” and promote them as gifts.
• Higher-end luxury statues — As premium figure manufacturers push quality, large-scale statues will continue to drive higher spend. Use these to upsell.
• More frequent release announcements & delays — The schedule shows many release shifts for 2025. otakuhq.com+1
  Opportunity: Keep customers informed on your site about “Latest News & Updates” so you build trust and retain interest.
• Series/character tie-ins timed with anime/manga milestones — Releases that align with new seasons, anniversaries or limited-editions often perform better.

Tips for Your Customers (and Site Messaging)

When you talk to your audience, reinforce these tips:

• Pre-order early but expect shipping delays: Many 2025 figures are announced months in advance.
• Check edition size and exclusivity: Limited runs = higher resale/collector value.
• Display planning: Premium figures warrant proper display cases or lighting (you could recommend display accessories).
• Budget wisely: For those building a collection, mix mid-tier + premium pieces rather than only high-cost items.
• Authenticity matters: As always, genuine figures matter for value and satisfaction.
