Anime Gifts for Collectors
By Tom James
Building an anime shelf that actually looks curated takes patience, and searching out pieces that hold their detail up close is half the fun. This selection leans into that hunt, gathering statues and plush worth clearing space for rather than impulse-buy filler.
Naruto: Shippuden dominates this line-up, from Grandista sculpting to expressive PVC statues and soft companions for the desk. Whether you're chasing a display centrepiece or rounding out a themed corner, these picks are chosen for craftsmanship collectors actually notice.
1. Naruto: Shippuden: Grandista PVC Statue: Itachi Uchiha
Anime — £40.00 at Forbidden Planet. View details
Grandista statues are prized for their scale and dynamic posing, and this Itachi captures his quiet intensity. A strong centrepiece for any Naruto shelf, it rewards display space with genuine sculptural presence.
2. Naruto: Shippuden: Fluffy M Plush: Naruto Uzumaki (Sage Mode)
Anime — £12.99 at Forbidden Planet. View details
Not every collection is all hard resin — this Sage Mode Naruto plush adds tactile variety and softens a shelf full of statues, while still nodding to a pivotal look from the series.
3. Naruto: Shippuden: PVC Statue: Madara Uchiha
Anime — £35.99 at Forbidden Planet. View details
Madara's dramatic design translates well into PVC form, making this statue a natural pairing with other Shippuden figures. Collectors building out an Akatsuki or villain-focused display will want him front and centre.
4. Naruto: Shippuden: Potekoro Mascot M Plush: Obito Uchiha
Anime — £12.99 at Forbidden Planet. View details
Potekoro's mascot styling gives Obito a rounder, huggable form that stands apart from the line's statues. A charming way to represent his arc without committing more shelf real estate.
5. Naruto: Shippuden: Fluffy M Plush: Kakashi Hatake (Sharingan)
Anime — £17.99 at Forbidden Planet. View details
Kakashi's Sharingan gets the spotlight in this Fluffy plush, offering a softer, more playful counterpart to the statue versions collectors often display. A nice textural contrast on a crowded shelf.
6. Naruto Shippuden: PVC Statue: Kakashi Hatake-II
Anime — £30.00 at Forbidden Planet. View details
This second PVC take on Kakashi gives collectors an alternative pose and finish to compare against earlier releases, ideal for those building a fuller picture of the character across formats.
Anime Gifts for Collectors FAQs
What makes an anime item collector-grade?
Sculpt quality, licensing and print run. A properly licensed figure with a considered sculpt holds interest and value in a way that mass-market merchandise does not, and short runs — convention exclusives, crossover Pops — are the ones collectors chase.
Why is this list shorter than other guides?
Because we only stock a handful of genuinely collector-grade anime pieces at any one time. Padding it with t-shirts would waste your time. Six honest picks is more useful than twelve items that don't meet the brief.
Are Pop! Vinyls worth collecting?
Standard releases are common enough that they hold little value, but exclusives and crossovers are different. The Sanrio and My Hero Academia crossover here is a limited run, which is what separates a collectible from an ordinary shelf figure.
How much do anime collectibles cost?
This page runs from about £12 for a Pop! Vinyl to £69.99 for the Naruto Minato tankard. Premium resin statues from specialist makers start higher again, typically £150 upward, and are usually pre-ordered rather than bought off the shelf.
