Upcoming Anime Figures: Every Pre-Order Worth Reserving (2026–2027)

Pre-orders are how anime figures actually get bought. Production runs are sized to demand, popular releases often never get a second run, and the reservation window is usually the only chance to buy at retail. This page tracks the upcoming figures collectors most want — ranked by wishlist counts on MyFigureCollection (MFC), matched to our catalogue by JAN barcode.

Pre-order windows close as allocations run out, so check each page for current availability. P-Rex Hobby is a Bandai Recommended Hobby Store.

How This List Works

• What counts as "upcoming": release date after August 2026. We track nearly 300 upcoming figures with MFC demand data, most of them landing in 2027.
• Re-releases excluded. A re-run of a 2022 figure carries years of accumulated wishlists, which would bury genuine new announcements. This list is new sculpts only.
• Ranked by: MFC wishlist counts as of August 2026. Numbers move daily.
• Watch the ordered count too. A figure with more orders than wishlists is already converting — that's a stronger signal of a sell-out risk than wishlists alone.

The Most-Wanted Upcoming Figures

1. BISHOUJO ReMIX series Hatsune Miku — ships January 2027. The most-wanted upcoming figure in our catalogue when we compiled this list. Hatsune Miku remains the single deepest character line in figure collecting.
2. Hatsune Miku Symphony 2025: Sapporo Concert Ver. — ships September 2027. Concert-commemorative Mikus are perennial collector targets and usually don't get re-run.
3. Racing Miku 15th "Rhapsody" 2010–2025 — ships October 2027. The Racing Miku line has a 15-year run behind it; anniversary releases draw the long-time collectors.

Closest to Release

These are the upcoming figures arriving soonest — if you're going to reserve anything, reserve these first.

• Nendoroid Mococo Abyssgard — November 2026 and Nendoroid Fuwawa Abyssgard — November 2026. The FUWAMOCO pair from hololive, with near-identical wishlist demand — many collectors reserve both.
• Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: M@GICAL☆CURE! LOVE ♥ SHOT! — December 2026. When we compiled this list, its MFC ordered count was higher than its wishlist count — this one is converting faster than people are bookmarking it.

Also Worth Reserving

• Shugo Chara! Amu Hinamori — Amulet Angel 1/6 — June 2027. A high order-to-wishlist ratio for a long-dormant series; the fanbase came back for this one.
• Cyrene: Wonderful Holiday Ver. 1/8 — April 2027. Honkai: Star Rail figures convert unusually well — game figures generally do.
• figma Tanya Degurechaff — February 2027. The articulated pick of this list. Its order count was low relative to wishlists — plenty of people still deciding.

How to Read Pre-Order Demand

• High wishlists, low orders — people want it but haven't committed. Often a price question. These can still be available late in the window.
• Orders above wishlists (like the M@GICAL☆CURE Miku above) — actively converting. Reserve early; these are the ones that close first.
• Paired characters trend together. Fuwawa and Mococo drew near-identical wishlist demand. If you want one of a pair, budget for both — collectors rarely split them.
• Ship dates move. Manufacturer delays are routine in this hobby. Dates on this page are the current manufacturer estimates, not guarantees.

Pre-Order Basics

Reserving a figure locks your unit from our allocation. Ship dates shown are manufacturer estimates and can shift — that's normal for the category, not a sign of a problem. Our full terms are in the pre-order policy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are these figures ranked?

By wishlist counts on MyFigureCollection, matched to our catalogue by JAN barcode, as of August 2026. Re-releases are excluded so accumulated demand from older sculpts doesn't crowd out genuine new announcements.

Why are most of these 2027 releases?

Figure pre-orders often open many months — sometimes more than a year — before shipping, so most of the upcoming figures we track arrive in 2027. That lead time is standard for the industry.

Should I pre-order or wait?

Most scale figures are produced to pre-order volume and never re-run. If a figure matters to you, the reservation window is usually the only chance at retail price. Nendoroids and POP UP PARADE releases are more likely to see a re-run, so waiting carries less risk there.

Do the wishlist numbers change?

Yes, daily — especially for newly announced figures. Treat them as a relative signal, not a fixed score.

Do you ship pre-orders to the US?

Yes — US orders ship with import duties prepaid at checkout, so there are no surprise fees on delivery.
