These are the rarest and most expensive amiibo for Nintendo Switch (2024)

Mega Yarn Yoshi

Teddy bear

This large plush amiibo was a Toys "R" Us exclusive. It was hard enough to find when it came out, but now that the toy company has gone under, it's even harder to obtain. Fortunately, there are some available on eBay if you're willing to pay the right price.

Yarn Poochy

The knit puppy

For my money, some of the coolest amiibo figures come from the Yoshi's Wooly World series. With figures made from real yarn, they'll stand out the most in your collection. The priciest figure from that release is Yoshi's puppy, Poochy.

Rosalina

Comet watcher

Rosalina is a gentle soul who first appeared in Super Mario Galaxy and has been featured in many Mario multiplayer games ever since. There are two versions of Rosalina, and the one pictured is the far more valuable one. Unfortunately, we couldn't find this version of her amiibo anywhere, but we could find the other version for sale.

Goomba

Doo-doo-doo-doo doo-doo

These simple Goomba amiibo are some of the hardest to get your hands on, and the price reflects that. Get a grumpy brown mushroom man of your own and add him to the rest of your figures from the Mushroom Kingdom.

Koopa Troopa

Shell-o there!

These cute little Koopa Troopas are a must-have if you're collecting figures from the Mario games. It's a little pricey but look at that happy face. You know he'll fit in with the rest of your collection.

Mario (silver)

Second-place plumber

Mario has been the captain of Nintendo's ship for some time, and the Super Mario amiibo series honored the plumber in his signature red. The silver color version of this Mario sculpt was only available at Walmart and has gone up a bit in price since its release.

Mario (gold)

First-place plumber

When you start with color variants, it can be hard to stop. If you're going to be getting the silver Mario, then odds are that you will probably want the gold version as well.

Wario

Evil counterpart

Wario has long been one of Mario's biggest enemies. He sports a similar clothing style but with a zigzaggy mustache, pointed green shoes, and muscley arms.

Waluigi

Bad blood

Luigi's rival works with Wario to devise wicked schemes to thwart the Mario Bros. Sometimes that just involves trying to beat them at a game of tennis, using his long limbs as an advantage. His mustache-twirling menace has made him something of a fan favorite, so it's not surprising his amiibo is pretty pricey.

Donkey Kong

Big ape

Donkey Kong was there with our favorite plumber from the beginning as the two were opponents in the first ever Mario game, then called Jump Man. As such, he's a pretty awesome collectible for any amiibo enthusiast.

Mario/Peach/Bowser Wedding (3-pack)

Wedding crashers

To celebrate Super Mario Odyssey, you can find a few figures dressed in their best white wedding attire. You could buy Mario, Peach, and Bowser individually, but if you want to get them in the three-pack, you'll have to pay a decent amount.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Champions Collection

Save Hyrule

The set includes Daruk, Mipha, Revaili, and Urbosa; the four champions Link must unite to defeat Calamity Ganon. They'll also work in the upcoming Breath of the Wild prequel, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity.

Zelda and Loftwing

A highly rated pair

Along with the release of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD came the Zelda and Loftwing amiibo. This figure comes with some in-game benefits and is overall just beautiful to look at.

Link: Ocarina of Time

The ocarina king

With so many different Zelda-related amiibo on the market, there are bound to be a few that fetch some pretty steep prices. One such figure is this Ocarina of Time Link.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Scholarly princess

With the Nintendo Switch and Zelda's major success: Breath of the Wild, it's not surprising that figures from the game would become some of the rarest and most expensive collectibles. Add this princess Zelda figure to your collection.

Guardian

Queue terror music

You can't look at this figure without hearing the accompanying chase music. This unique figure is larger and heavier than most, and it has legs that you can bend and reposition.

Toon Link & Zelda: The Wind Waker

The toonie heroes

In December of 2016, Nintendo released the 30th Anniversary Legend of Zelda series. There were various Link and Link-related figures that were a part of the release, including this two-pack.

Callie and Marie (2-pack)

Squid sisters!

If you missed your chance at picking up this Squid Sisters two-pack, you will most likely be paying a premium to get them now. Callie and Marie are demanding pretty high prices these days, and if you absolutely have to have them, you'll have to dig into your wallet.

Pearl and Marina

Off the hook

This special pop-idol duo from Splatoon packs tons of characters into one package. You can use these amiibo in Splatoon 2 to unlock each character's gear and even get photos with these musicians during Splatfest events.

Inkling Squid (Orange)

Swimming solo

There are several valuable Splatoon figures out there, and one of them is a Squid. This orange figure looks great on your shelf next to your other Splatoon figures. But if you don't have any others, his bright coloring makes him pop in any room.

Inkling Girl (Green)

It isn't easy being green

There are several different inkling girl variants, but this green figure holds the most worth. Maybe that's because she's the color of money. At any rate, no amiibo collection is complete without her.

Octoling Boy, Octopus, and Girl (3-Pack)

Octoposse

This sweet three-pack gives you two octoling figures and one octopus to help you show off your love for the Splatoon games. These amiibo have serious attitude and will look good in anyone's collection.

Dark Pit

Face your rival

A rival and clone of Pit introduced in Kid Icarus: Uprising, Dark Pit was originally an alternate costume for Pit in Super Smash Bros. but has become a distinct character. Use him to rain arrows upon your enemies from the sky.

Diddy Kong

DK's friend

This little guy is never seen too far from Donkey Kong. He's a fast mover with a unique skillset that sets him apart from other Super Smash Bros. characters.

Cloud

Cloud nine

The star of Final Fantasy 7, Cloud Strife, appears in numerous Final Fantasy compilations and spinoffs. It's no surprise the heroic swordsman also made his way into Nintendo's crossover fighting game or that his amiibo is in high demand.

Kirby

Suck it up

Kirby, one of the oldest Nintendo heroes, can inhale enemies and either spit them out or copy their abilities. That makes him a particularly versatile and fun combatant in the Super Smash Bros. games, which is where this amiibo comes from.

Lucario

Anubis

Lucario has been one of the most popular Pokémon ever since he first appeared in the series. While he isn't the most expensive amiibo out there, he does cost a pretty penny.

Bayonetta Player 2

Combat queen

Another figure from the Smash Bros. series is everyone's favorite leather-clad bullet artist. The Bayonetta Player 2 amiibo came out in mid-2017 and was a hard figure to find. She has since saturated the market, so you can pick her up a little more easily.

Mii Brawler, Gunner, & Swordfighter (3-pack)

Mio trio

Oddly enough, these generic figures have become some of the rarest and most valuable figures in the series. You can purchase them individually, but it will still be an expensive venture.

Mii Brawler

Wanna fight? Fight me!

Of all of the Mii amiibo, the Brawler is by far the most valuable. This particular amiibo is great for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and has a generic Mii face.

Corrin Player 2

The Fire Emblem princess

One of the cool things about the Super Smash Bros. series of figures was the variety of characters on offer. With that many characters, a few were bound to end up on the pricey side of the fence. The Corrin Player 2 figure from the Fire Emblem franchise was once one of the hardest figures to find.

Samus Aran

The lone heroine

In addition to the two-pack of Samus with the Metroid, there's also this stand alone Samus character. Players can use this for Smash Bros. Unlike the Smash Bros specific Samus amiibo, this one features the heroine in a crouched position.

Metroid

Evil alien

If you simply want the Metroid figure on its own, it will still cost you a decent amount of money. This figure looks freaking awesome — like it's just broken out of confinement. It'll pair beautifully with any of the other Samus amiibo.

Samus Aran & Metroid (2-Pack)

Space invader

These awesome figures are must-haves for Metroid fans. It's taken long enough for Nintendo to release the next Metroid Prime game, but at least they've given us Metroid amiibo in the meantime.

Tiki

Dragon princess

This adorable figure shows fan favorite Tiki in her beautiful purple and pink dress and tiara, exuding elegance. This amiibo can be used in several Nintendo Switch games to add special features.

Alm & Celica (2-pack)

Double trouble

These childhood friends are both from Fire Emblem: Shadows of Valentia. Together these two fight in the resistance against the invading Rigellian Empire. Now see if you can resist the urge to pull out your wallet and add them to your collection.

Ike

Ancient hero

Ike is a powerful warrior from the Fire Emblem series who fought in the Mad King's War. While he might not be the best-known character from FE, he's definitely one of the most expensive amiibo.

Magnamalo

A ferocious beast

The big bad of Monster Hunter Rise — well, at least one of them. The Magnamalo is a huge challenge in-game, but its amiibo can unlock a set of armor.

Palico

Here, kitty, kitty

A Palico is your friend, and the useful cats can do everything, from help you train to hunt down rare items. Tapping this amiibo into Monster Hunter Rise gives you a special suit of armor for your Palico.

Palamute

A hunter's best friend

Palamute's are the latest addition to the Monster Hunter series and add many mobility options to the game. They're also incredibly handy in combat, and once tapped, offer a set of armor for your Palamute.

Barioth (Glacier) & Avinia

Just a girl and her monster

Avinia is a character introduced in Monster Hunter Stories. She is a cautious girl who tries to hide her feelings, wearing white armor similar to the Barioth she rides.

Qurupeco & Dan

An expert in his craft

Dan is an expert rider who helps teach young boys and girls how to ride their monsters. Normally very excitable, he can get serious when he needs to.

Navirou

Anyone hungry?

Navirou is a happy-go-lucky felyne who loves a good snack. Despite his size, he tries to be brave when facing off against huge monsters.

Rathian and Cheval

On a mission

Cheval is a gentle soul but becomes the player's rival throughout Monster Hunter Stories. This figure shows Cheval on a Rathian just as you would see in the game and anime. With sword in the air and teeth bared, this duo looks fierce.

One-Eyed Rathalos and Rider (Boy)

Start your own story

This is one main character option from Monster Hunter Stories, along with a wounded Rathalos that you'll befriend. It's an important aspect of the game and is well displayed in this figure. If you chose the male body type for your playthrough, you may want to consider picking this one up to match.

One-Eyed Rathalos and Rider (Girl)

Her destiny

Just as there is a male option for the main character of Monster Hunter Stories, there is also a female option. This amiibo is a variant with the female rider with the same Rathalos you see with the male rider. They appear happy together and would make a good addition to any Monster Hunter fan's collection.

Solaire of Astora

Praise the sun!

Dark Souls fans will unlock the Praise the Sun gesture faster if they have this amiibo. Aside from that, it's one of the most detailed of all of Nintendo's figures, and perfect for a fan of FromSoftware's highly popular games.

Gold Mega Man

Golden boy

This has become one of the rarest amiibo on the market because it can only be purchased in a special bundle for the Mega Man Legacy Collection game on 3DS.

Detective Pikachu

Electric P.I.

This isn't Ash's Pikachu. This fast-talking, sassy Pokémon packs a lot of character. With Ryan Reynolds voicing the part in the Detective Pikachu movie, it wouldn't be surprising if this amiibo gets even harder to find as the years go on.

Qbby

The cube

This is a must-have figure for die-hard amiibo fans and is really hard to find. This simple little amiibo from BoxBoy! is one of the rarest and most valuable figures on this list. You'll have to pay in the triple digits if you want to add him to your collection.
