2026 has been a wild year for anime – and honestly, our shelves (and yours) are looking better than ever because of it. We’ve been watching the orders roll in across India, and there’s a clear picture forming of what the Indian anime community is actually buying right now. So here it is – straight from us to you, no fluff – the real buying trends from our store this year.

The Series Driving the Most Orders in 2026

One Piece is absolutely dominating right now – and the Elbaph arc hype is a huge reason why. Fans who’ve been waiting years for Elbaf are now going back and buying figures they’d been holding off on. Luffy Gear 5 figures especially have been flying out – people want that chaotic, laughing Gear 5 energy on their shelf after everything that’s been happening in the manga and anime. It’s pure joy, and the figure game is matching that energy.

Naruto remains the perennial classic. No arc hype needed – someone somewhere is always revisiting Naruto for the first time or the fifth time, and they want Itachi or Kakashi next to their monitor. It never slows down. Jujutsu Kaisen has seen a serious post-Season 3 surge, and Dragon Ball Z nostalgia buys are very real – DBZ is one of those fandoms where a 24-year-old suddenly decides “I need Goku on my desk” and just orders without overthinking it.

The Characters Your Fellow Fans Are Actually Buying

Here’s the breakdown of who’s moving the most:

Luffy is number one by a distance. The Gear 5 Luffy figures in particular have been a constant reorder situation for us. There’s something about that white-haired, rubber-limbed chaos lord that just looks incredible on a shelf. We’ve got a full Gear 5 Luffy Set of 5 that’s been a top pick for fans who want the whole vibe in one go.

Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen has been massive. One fan actually DMed us saying: “Ordered Gojo right after the Season 3 finale. No regrets. He looks unreal on my shelf.” That tracks. After everything Season 3 put us through emotionally, having Gojo standing there in his infinity is kind of therapeutic. Our Gojo Satoru 21cm figure and the Gojo Finger Crossed Pose have both been consistent sellers.

Itachi is Naruto’s most-ordered single character, no contest. The Classic Itachi Crow Form 29cm figure is one of those pieces that genuinely looks premium for the price. And people keep buying it as a first “real” figure – Itachi is the gateway drug for a lot of new collectors. Goku rounds out the top four – the Goku Mid Air Attack Stone Base figure has been a particular favourite for the pose and the display value it adds.

What the ₹299-₹999 Range Looks Like in Real Buying Behaviour

Here’s something interesting we’ve noticed: the ₹299-₹999 range is where most orders actually land. Fans in India aren’t always looking to spend thousands – they want something that looks great on a shelf without the guilt. The sweet spot? Around ₹399-₹699. That’s the “I’ll just quickly order this” price range where people don’t overthink it.

Things like the Naruto Q Posket at ₹299, the Sanji Flame Kick figure at ₹599, and the Shinobu Kocho figure at ₹349 all sit right in that zone. Affordable, anime-accurate, and genuinely display-worthy. That’s what we’re here for.

Figures as Gifts – Bigger Than Ever This Year

Not gonna lie, we did not expect gifting to become this big a part of our orders. But birthday gifts, farewell gifts, “bhai tere liye laya” moments – figures have become a go-to gift for the 18-28 crowd. One customer told us they ordered a Gojo and Geto Seated Duo figure as a birthday gift for their friend who’d watched JJK together with them. That’s the kind of wholesome energy we love to see. One Piece sets and Naruto character figures seem to be the most gifted – probably because they’re universally loved and recognisable.

New Collectors Coming In Through Elbaph and JJK Season 3

Here’s the part that genuinely excites us. A real wave of first-time buyers has been showing up this year, and a lot of them are coming in through the Elbaph arc and JJK Season 3. These are folks who maybe hadn’t bought a figure before, but the hype hit different and they had to have something physical. As Whitebeard once said – “A man’s life is spent in pursuit of his dream” – and these new fans are pursuing shelf setups they can be proud of.

For new collectors, we always recommend starting with what you love most. Elbaph fans are gravitating towards One Piece figures – especially Luffy and the crew. JJK Season 3 fans are going straight for Gojo, obviously, but Yuji Itadori figures have also seen a bump. And our action figures collection has enough range that new buyers can find something across every price point without feeling overwhelmed.
