Sometimes, you try to make an affordable mini anime figure gift guide, and people on Facebook accuse you of failing to realize how little money the general public has. So, you try again. Jest aside, it’s true that money doesn’t go as far as it used to. A few years ago, $50 got you two or three anime figures. Now you’re lucky if it gets you one. We’re trying again and have some anime figures that cost less than $35.
Under $35 Anime Figures — The Quintessential Quintuplets
One of the most loved harems of the past few years, Negi Haruba’s The Quintessential Quintuplets has no shortage of A+ waifus #NinoBestGirl. With five adorable sisters to choose from, there’s a personality for most. And if you’re a fan of Ichika, Nino, and Itsuki, we have their latest Good Smile POP UP PARADE Figures. All three figures feature the Nakano sisters in their school uniforms and are based on their Bibury Animation’s character design from The Quintessential Quintuplets ∬.
These non-scale figures measure approximately 7″ tall and retail for $29.75. While one may think that cheap equals poor quality, that’s never true with Good Smile Company. All POP UP PARADE figures are meticulously crafted and painted. They make perfect gifts for veteran and casual collectors. These three Nakano sister figures make the perfect gift (or gifts) for any fan of The Quintessential Quintuplets. Order Ichika Nakano, Nino Nakano and Itsuki Nanako here.
Ayakashi Triangle
Gender-bending shows are some of the most entertaining in anime. Something about seeing a dude turn into a hot waifu warms the soul. That might be because I believe my ideal partner is a kawaii legal-loli with the heart of a guy, or perhaps because I dream of one day becoming a hot waifu. I know I’m far from alone with both of those sentiments. And if you’re buying a gift from someone who shares those likes, this Suzu Kanade POP UP PARADE Figure is what you need to place under their Christmas tree.
The approximately 7″ figure retails for $29.75 and features the kawaii Suzu Kanade from Ayakashi Triangle in a stylish white bikini. With kawaii exorcism motifs like a pink shide on her bra and flower charms on her bikini bottom, it’s sure to ward off evil spirits. But it does little to ward off evil thoughts.
Under $35 Anime Figures — Re:Zero
With the first half of the show’s third season closing this week, Re:Zero fans are in for a months-long wait to see Subaru and the gang again. Waiting is, unfortunately, a commonality for anime fans. But if the person you’re buying a gift for is a Re:Zero fan, you can help them whether that wait. Whether they’re a fan of Ram or REDACTED, there’s a Good Smile POP UP PARADE figure for them.
These are some of the most in-demand under $35 anime figures featuring the show’s kawaii twins in their maid outfits. At 6.7 in., they retail for $33.58. Ram’s version even includes winter mittens and earmuffs. Which is a pleasant touch as the cold is coming. Meanwhile, REDACTED’s figure poses in a lovely, eye-catching curtsy. Order Ram here, and REDACTED here!
To LOVE-Ru Darkness
Since we’re already talking about waifus from ecchi shows, have you considered gifting someone a classic ecchi waifu? To LOVE-Ru, in all its versions, is one of those shows that introduced many people to more risqué anime content. It has stood the test of time and continues to attract an increasing number of fans. It’s a breeze to see why the shows are solid entertainment. And the waifus are hot. And for $33.58, one of the show’s hottest waifus, the seductively alluring Mea Kurosaki POP UP PARADE figure, can be yours. The figure stands 7.3 in., featuring the devilish heroine in a modestly low-riding bikini. She’s currently in stock, and you can order her here.
Pray to the Gods of Old with This Holo the Wise Wolf Figure
Like most other splendid holidays, Christmas (allegedly) has pagan origins (Christianity really did loot everything of value, didn’t it?) Where the date used to signify the arrival of longer days, we now celebrate a man born in a Judean manger who once fed a large group of people with a small number of fish. That’s something the gods of old would take offense to. If the person you’re buying for appreciates pre-modernity, there’s a solid chance that Spice & Wolf resonated with them.
Spice & Wolf cemented its place in anime history as few other shows through extensive world-building, life-helping content, and a gorgeous wolf demi-god. It would not be an exaggeration to call Holo one of the most recognized waifus. And for $31.45, this 6.6″ figure can be yours. We already wrote about this figure. You can check out a more in-depth review here. Of under $35 anime figures, it is one of the most eye-catching. So, get Holo’s POP UP PARADE Figure today.
Under $35 Anime Figures — Nekopara
I could talk for hours about Nekopara. Fans of the franchise can instantly recognize that my handle is copied from the show/VN’s male lead. Nekopara has a cult following, unlike a few other R18 VNs. While Chocola and Vanilla get most of the love, almost all Nekopara fans would be ecstatic to receive a figure of any of Patisserie La Soleil’s nekomaids.
And for $33.58, you can give them this endearing ~7″ Maple POP UP PARADE figure. Maple’s personality shines through as her posture and tail exude her refinement. Trust us, she makes a nyantastic gift! Order her here.
Race to an Awesome Christmas with Uma Musume
Can any other waifus compete with catgirls? Yes, they can, and they’re horse girls. The only downside to horse girls is that they’re off-limits when lewding them. But that’s an entirely different conversation. But once you give someone this charming Mejiro McQueen POP UP PARADE Figure, what they do to it is no one else’s problem.
This meticulously crafted figure stands around 7 in. like all POP UP PARADE figures. McQueen retails for $33.58 as part of our under $35 anime figure category. The figure features McQueen in her Tracen Academy uniform, and her elegance easily shines through. Order her here and make that Uma Musume fan in your life happy.

Everything from anime calendars to adult toys, hentai, JAVs, and everything in between is currently in stock. We also have Nendoroids, limited edition figures, and titillatingly lewd figures ready to ship. So, there’s something for everyone.
