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.
All figures here are open for pre-order and ship from our warehouse in Vancouver, Canada. P-Rex Hobby is a Good Smile Company Canada Partner Shop and a Bandai Recommended Hobby Store.
How This List Works
- What counts as "upcoming": release date after August 2026. We track 291 upcoming figures with MFC demand data — 57 landing in 2026, 231 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
- BISHOUJO ReMIX series Hatsune Miku — 1,914 wishlists, ships January 2027. The most-wanted upcoming figure in our catalogue by a wide margin, and it isn't close. Hatsune Miku remains the single deepest character line in figure collecting.
- Hatsune Miku Symphony 2025: Sapporo Concert Ver. — 628 wishlists, September 2027. Concert-commemorative Mikus are perennial collector targets and usually don't get re-run.
- Racing Miku 15th "Rhapsody" 2010–2025 — 588 wishlists, 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 — 404 wishlists, November 2026 and Nendoroid Fuwawa Abyssgard — 394 wishlists, November 2026. The FUWAMOCO pair from hololive, ten wishlists apart — most collectors are reserving both.
- Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: M@GICAL☆CURE! LOVE ♥ SHOT! — 447 wishlists, 694 already ordered, December 2026. Note the ordered count is higher than the wishlist count — this one is converting faster than people are bookmarking it.
Also Worth Reserving
- Shugo Chara! Amu Hinamori — Amulet Angel 1/6 — 469 wishlists, 408 ordered, 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 — 464 wishlists, 346 ordered, April 2027. Honkai: Star Rail figures convert unusually well — game figures generally do.
- figma Tanya Degurechaff — 380 wishlists, February 2027. The articulated pick of this list. Note the low order count relative to wishlists (54 vs 380) — 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 sit ten wishlists apart. 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 typically open 12–18 months before shipping. Of the 291 upcoming figures we track, 57 arrive in 2026 and 231 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 — everything ships from our Vancouver warehouse to Canada and the United States, with US import duties prepaid at checkout.
