The 10 most expensive & rarest amiibo of all time

With over 200 amiibo figures now available, some are extremely rare and expensive in 2024 and we’ve got a breakdown of them below.

Nintendo fans will no doubt be familiar with the company’s amiibo figure line, which consists of small statues, plushies, cards, or figurines with Near Field Communication (otherwise known as NFC) capability.

The company first introduced amiibo during the Wii U era, beginning with Super Smash Bros. Since then over 200 of them have been released, and these are some of the rarest ones on the market in 2024.

10. Mega Man (Gold Edition)

Dexerto

The Gold Edition Mega Man amiibo is only available as part of the Mega Man Legacy Collection Collector’s Edition. While Mega Man does have a normal variation as part of the Super Smash Bros. series, the only way to get the Gold Edition is through this specific collection.

As such, it can be a bit difficult to find now that the collection is over 8 years old on Nintendo hardware. Pricecharting.com lists this amiibo as anywhere from $70 to $92.

9. Berioros (Hyoga) & Ayuria

Dexerto

Berioris and Ayuria are an amiibo pair from Monster Hunter Stories that were exclusively released in Japan. You can detach the rider from the monster in this figure if you manage to get your hands on it.

A loose version of this amiibo costs $58, while a boxed edition is $98.

8. Super Smash Bros. Mii Fighter 3-pack

Dexerto

While Japan received individual releases for the three Mii Fighter characters in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS, overseas territories only received these figures as a 3-pack. What’s more, these figures were first released back in 2015 and have not received reprints since then.

Pricecharting.com estimates the loose price for all three figures around $50 each, while a complete box set costs around $105.

7. Poochy amiibo (Yarn-style)

Dexerto

The next amiibo on this list is one of the special variations, which strayed from the standard statuette design. Yarn Poochy was only available to purchase as part of the Poochy + Yoshi’s Woolly World game on Nintendo 3DS and has never been reprinted since its release.

It can be very hard to find Yarn Poochy complete in-box, and many are simply sold loose. This makes them quite hard to find for most collectors. Pricecharting.com generally lists the Poochy amiibo loose around $73, while the new version goes for around $112.

6. Samus Aran and Metroid 2-pack

Dexerto

The Samus Aran and Metroid 2-pack amiibo is another rare collection pack. Both amiibo are unique in many ways. Though Samus has had a handful of amiibo iterations, this pose and texturing are unique. Additionally, the Metroid amiibo is one of the only figures to feature soft and squishy plastic as part of the figure.

Like other limited edition amiibo, these two figures have since gone out of print — thus making them quite hard to find. According to Pricecharting.com, the loose price for these figures is around $83 while the complete in-box price is around $115.

5. Mega Yarn Yoshi

Dexerto

Similar to the Poochy amiibo, Mega Yarn Yoshi is another crochet plushie and was a special amiibo released alongside Yoshi’s Woolly World on the Wii U. Originally, Mega Yarn Yoshi was only sold at Toys R Us locations, which made it that much rarer. While it eventually reached other retailers, it was never reprinted out of its original run.

As a result, this special amiibo is incredibly hard to find. For a loose figure, it usually sells for around $108. A complete boxed version costs close to $200.

4. Splatoon Wii U Series 3-pack (Alt Colors)

Dexerto

This next amiibo set marks one of the few alternate variations of amiibo figures released, being the Splatoon Series 3-pack (Alt Colors) released for Splatoon 1 on the Wii U. Instead of the standard Orange Inkling Girl, Green Squid, and Blue Inkling Boy, this set features those characters in the same poses, but with different colors.

Given that this set was an Alternate version, it was much more limited than the original set. Pricecharting.com lists all three loose figures around $108 with the complete boxed set costing $196.

3. Lioleia and Cheva Monster Hunter Stories amiibo

Dexerto

Lioleia and Cheval were released alongside Monster Hunter Stories for the Nintendo DS in Japan. 

You can unlock Cheval’s partner Rathi by using it, giving your party some additional power in the early hours of the game. Its rarity has made it one of the priciest amiibos in existence however, and according to the Pricecharting listing you’ll be looking at least $147.99 if you want to get your hands own it pre-owned, and closer to $200 for a new one.

2. Navirou Monster Hunter Stories amiibo

Dexerto

The Navirou Monster Hunter Stories amiibo claims its spot on the list thanks to it being a Japanese-exclusive amiibo. While American and European MHS fans did get some of the related amiibo, Navirou was not one of them, making him quite rare overseas.

Pricecharting.com lists a loose Navirou amiibo at around $82, with boxed graded versions costing $209.

1. Qbby (BoxBoy! Series) amiibo

Dexerto

The rarest and most expensive amiibo, out of all 206 figures ever released, is the Qbby BoxBoy! series amiibo. This amiibo was released in 2017 — though only in Japan. Additionally, it was only packaged with the physical version of a BoxBoy! series game on 3DS.

Thanks to the fact that this is essentially a region-exclusive amiibo for an incredibly niche video game series, it is extremely rare and extremely expensive overseas. Pricecharting.com estimates a loose Qbby amiibo will sell for around $267, while a boxed version could sell for over $400.
