Get the rarest gift for the Nintendo Switch amiibo collector in your life

Nintendo's amiibo are collectible figurines featuring all of your favorite video game characters from Nintendo Switch, 3DS, and Wii U. Ever the king of scarcity, Nintendo experienced supply issues, which led to rushes and shortages of certain figures. Some will set you back a pretty penny if you want to add them to your collection. Here are the most expensive amiibo statues out there. If you're interested, don't forget to check out the rarest and most expensive Animal Crossing amiibo cards.

Teddy bear

Mega Yarn Yoshi

Staff Pick

This large plush amiibo was a Toys "R" Us exclusive. It was hard enough to find when it came out, but now that the toy company has gone under, it's even harder to obtain. Fortunately, there are some available on Amazon if you're willing to pay the right price.

$349 at Amazon

The knit puppy

Yarn Poochy

For my money, some of the coolest amiibo figures come from the Yoshi's Wooly World series. With figures made from real yarn, they stand out most in the amiibo series. The priciest figure from that release is Yoshi's puppy, Poochy.

Starting at $77 at Ebay

The cube

Qbby

This simple little amiibo from BoxBoy! is one of the rarest and most valuable figures. You'll have to pay in the triple digits if you want to add him to your collection. This is a must-have figure for die-hard amiibo fans and is really hard to find.

$308 at Amazon

Squid sisters!

Callie and Marie 2-pack

If you missed your chance at picking up this Squid Sisters two-pack, then you are most likely going to be paying a premium to get your hands on them now. Callie and Marie are demanding pretty high prices these days, and if you absolutely have to have them, you'll have to dig into your wallet to get them.

$210 at Amazon

Off the hook

Pearl and Marina - Splatoon

This special pop-idol duo from Splatoon packs tons of character into one package. You can use these amiibo in Splatoon 2 to unlock each character's gear and even get photos with these musicians during Splatfest events.

Starting at $60 on Ebay

Swimming solo

Inkling Squid (Orange) - Splatoon

There are several valuable Splatoon figures out there, and one of them is a Squid. This orange figure looks great on your shelf next to your other Splatoon figures. But if you don't have any others, his bright coloring makes him pop in any room.

$50 at Amazon

It isn't easy being green

Inkling Girl (Green)

There are several different inkling girl variants, but this green figure holds the most worth. Maybe that's because she's the color of money. At any rate, no amiibo collection is complete without her.

$45 at Amazon

Octoposse

Octoling Boy, Octopus, and Girl (3-Pack)

This sweet three-pack gives you two octoling figures and one octopus to help you show off your love for the Splatoon games. These amiibo have serious attitude and will look good in anyone's collection.

Face your rival

Dark Pit

A rival and clone of Pit introduced in Kid Icarus: Uprising, Dark Pit was originally an alternate costume for Pit in Super Smash Bros. but has become a distinct character. Use him to rain arrows upon your enemies from the sky.

$88 at Amazon

Cloud nine

Super Smash Bros. Cloud

The star of Final Fantasy 7, Cloud Strife, appears in numerous Final Fantasy compilations and spinoffs. It's no surprise the heroic swordsman also made his way into Nintendo's crossover fighting game or that his amiibo is in high demand.

$100 at Amazon

The Ocarina king

Link: Ocarina of Time

With so many different Zelda-related amiibo on the market, there are bound to be a few that fetch some pretty steep prices. One such figure is the Ocarina of Time Link.

$60 at Amazon

Legendary princess

Nintendo amiibo-Zelda: Breath of the Wild

With the success of the Nintendo Switch and Zelda's major success: Breath of the Wild, it's not surprising that figures from the game would become some of the rarest and most expensive collectibles. Add this princess Zelda figure to your collection.

$30 at Amazon

Que terror music

Guardian: Breath of the Wild

You can't look at this figure without hearing the accompanying chase music. This unique figure is larger and heavier than most, and it has legs that you can bend and reposition.

$63 at Amazon

The toonie heroes

Toon Link / Zelda The Wind Waker

In December of 2016, Nintendo released the 30th Anniversary Legend of Zelda series. There were various Link and Link-related figures that were a part of the release.

$185 at Amazon

Ancient hero

Ike

Ike is a powerful warrior from the Fire Emblem series who fought in the Mad King's War. While he might not be the best-known character from FE, he's definitely one of the most expensive amiibo.

$107 at Amazon

Bad blood

Waluigi

Luigi's rival works with Wario to devise wicked schemes to thwart the Mario Bros. Sometimes that just involves trying to beat them at a game of tennis, using his long limbs as an advantage. His mustache-twirling menace has made him something of a fan favorite, so it's not surprising his amiibo is pretty pricey.

$70 at Amazon

Praise the sun!

Solaire of Astora - Dark Souls

Dark Souls fans will be able to unlock the praise the sun gesture faster if they have this amiibo. Aside from that, it's one of the most detailed of all of Nintendo's figures.

$104 at Amazon

Mio trio

Mii 3-pack Brawler, Gunner, & Swordfighter

Oddly enough, these generic figures have become some of the rarest and most valuable figures in the series. You can purchase them individually, but it will still be an expensive venture.

$230 at Amazon

Wanna fight? Fight me!

Mii Brawler

Of all of the Mii amiibo, the Brawler is by far the most valuable. This particular amiibo is great for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and has a generic Mii face.

$155 at Amazon

Electric P.I.

Detective Pikachu

This ain't Ash's Pikachu. This fast-talking, sassy Pokémon packs a lot of character. With Ryan Reynolds voicing the part in the Detective Pikachu movie, it wouldn't be surprising if this amiibo gets even harder to find.

$150 at Amazon

Anubis

Lucario

Lucario has been one of the most popular Pokemon ever since he first appeared in the series. While he isn't the most expensive amiibo out there, he does cost a pretty penny.

$68 at Amazon

Golden boy

Gold Mega Man

This has become one of the rarest amiibo on the market because it can only be purchased in a special bundle for the Mega Man Legacy Collection game on 3DS.

$207 at Amazon

Dual gun

Samus (two gun defect)

Any amiibo with missing parts or additional pieces are high on collectors' lists. A few years back, a Samus figure wielding two guns instead of one sold on eBay for $2,500. Not a bad return on investment. Here's a link to a regular Samus amiibo.

$45 at Amazon

Space invader

Samus Aran & Metroid (2-Pack)

These awesome figures are must-haves for Metroid fans. It's taken long enough for Nintendo to release the next Metroid Prime game, but at least they've given us Metroid amiibo in the meantime.

Starting at $62 at Ebay

Evil alien

Metroid

If you simply want the Metroid figure on its own, it will still cost you a decent amount of money. This figure looks freaking awesome — like it's just broken out of confinement. It'll pair beautifully with any of the other Samus amiibo.

Starting at $36 at Ebay

Floating princess

Peach (legless defect)

For many amiibo collectors, this defective Princess Peach figure is the holy grail. One sold for $25,000 on eBay a few years back. It won't cost you an arm, but maybe a leg. For a regular Peach amiibo, check out the link below.

$21 at Amazon

Suck it up

Kirby amiibo

One of the oldest Nintendo heroes, Kirby, can inhale enemies and either spit them out or copy their abilities. That makes him a particularly versatile and fun combatant in the Super Smash Bros. games, which is where this amiibo comes from.

$151 at Amazon

Wedding crashers

Mario/Peach/Bowser Wedding 3-pack

To celebrate Super Mario Odyssey, a few figures could be found dressed in their best white wedding attire. You could buy Mario, Peach, and Bowser individually, but if you want to get them in the three-pack, you'll have to pay a decent amount.

Starting at $147 at Ebay

The Fire Emblem princess

Corrin (Player 2)

One of the cool things about the Super Smash Bros. series of figures was the variety of characters on offer for the amiibo-verse. With that many characters, there were bound to be a few that ended up on the pricey side of the fence. The Corrin Player 2 figure from the Fire Emblem franchise was once one of the hardest figures to find.

$245 at Amazon

Combat queen

Bayonetta (Player 2)

Another figure from the Smash Bros. series is everyone's favorite leather-clad bullet artist. The Bayonetta Player 2 amiibo came out in mid-2017 and was a hard figure to find. She has since saturated the market, so you can pick her up a little more easily.

$54 at Amazon

Comet watcher

Rosalina

Rosalina is a gentle soul who first appeared in Super Mario Galaxy and has been featured in Mario multiplayer ever since. There are two versions of Rosalina, and the one pictured is the far more valuable one. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find this version of her amiibo anywhere, but we could find the other version for sale.

$140 at Walmart

Doo-doo-doo-doo doo-doo

Goomba

These simple Goomba amiibo are some of the hardest to get your hands on, and the price reflects that. Get a grumpy brown mushroom man of your own and add him to the rest of your figures from the Mushroom Kingdom.

$80 at Amazon

Shell-o there!

Koopa Troopa

These cute little Koopa Troopas are a must-have if you're collecting figures from the Mario games. It's a little pricey but look at that happy face. You know he'll fit in with the rest of your collection.

$100 at Amazon

Second-place plumber

Mario (silver)

Mario has been the captain of Nintendo's ship for some time, and the Super Mario amiibo series honored the plumber in his signature red. The silver color version of this Mario sculpt was only available at Walmart and has gone up a bit in price since its release.

$67 at Amazon

First-place plumber

Mario (gold)

When you start with color variants, it can be hard to stop. If you're going to be getting the silver Mario, then odds are that you are probably going to want the gold version as well.

$90 at Amazon

A ferocious beast

Magnamalo

The big bad of Monster Hunter Rise — well, at least one of them. The Magnamalo is a huge challenge in-game, but its amiibo can unlock a set of armor.

Go figure

When amiibo were initially released in 2014, the Nintendo fandom reached for their wallets and queued up to purchase their favorite figures, only to discover a limited number of the figures available. This led fans into a craze as they frantically collected popular characters and propelled the prices of these simple figures skyward. Whether releasing a limited number of amiibo was a calculated move on Nintendo's part to increase collector value or an unexpected incident, we might never know.

Either way, pop culture prospecting can be fun, exciting, and challenging all at once. Deciding which figure is most valuable is entirely up to your taste and preference. Still, we sure do dig that Mega Yarn Yoshi. It's basically a teddy bear with NFC abilities in its foot. If you're looking to try and make an investment, consider purchasing an amiibo and leaving it in the package. We specifically recommend the Guardian since it is one of the most useful amiibo in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

In addition to being cool-looking figures, amiibo all sport an NFC chip in their base. This chip allows you to scan your figures with your Switch, 3DS, or your Wii U. If your figure is compatible with your game, it can give you certain in-game bonus content or save data. If you're using your expensive amiibo but want to protect your investment, be sure to pick up a storage case.

There are currently over 176 amiibo with more on the way. We'll be sure to update this list as more Nintendo figures are released.
