Anime collecting in India has evolved far beyond simply owning a favourite character. Today, collectors can choose from highly articulated anime action figures, premium collectibles, display figures and licensed merchandise from some of the biggest names in Japanese pop culture.

Whether you are a lifelong Dragon Ball Z fan, a One Piece collector, a Demon Slayer enthusiast or a Jujutsu Kaisen fan, brands such as Bandai, Tamashii Nations, S.H.Figuarts and Banpresto offer figures designed for both dynamic posing and premium display.

If you are searching for the best anime action figures in India, this guide highlights 12 standout collectibles available through Superhero Toystore, covering iconic characters such as Goku, Vegeta, Luffy, Zoro, Tanjiro and Maki Zen'in.

From classic Dragon Ball Z transformations to One Piece's Gear 5 Luffy, these are some of the anime figures worth considering for your collection.

Why S.H.Figuarts Is One of the Best Anime Figure Lines for Collectors

Among serious anime collectors, S.H.Figuarts has become particularly popular because the range combines character accuracy with extensive articulation.

Rather than being static display pieces, many S.H.Figuarts releases are designed to recreate the action and energy of the original anime. Interchangeable hands, faces, heads and accessories allow collectors to create different poses and recreate memorable scenes.

The selection available in India also makes S.H.Figuarts particularly interesting for collectors looking for official Dragon Ball Z figures, One Piece action figures and Demon Slayer collectibles.

But S.H.Figuarts isn't the only option. Banpresto's Grandista range, for example, focuses more heavily on larger-scale presentation and sculpting.

Here are 12 figures that deserve a place on your anime collector's radar.

1. S.H.Figuarts Son Goku – A Saiyan Raised on Earth

S.H.Figuarts Son Goku – A Saiyan Raised on Earth

Few anime characters are as recognisable as Son Goku.

This S.H.Figuarts release captures Goku in one of his most recognisable forms and is designed around the character's classic appearance. The approximately 6-inch figure features extensive articulation and comes with interchangeable hands and three alternative expression heads, giving collectors plenty of options for dynamic displays.

For someone buying their first Dragon Ball action figure in India, this is an especially appealing place to start because it represents Goku in a classic form rather than focusing exclusively on one transformation.

Why collectors should consider it

• Classic Goku appearance
• Approximately 6 inches tall
• Multiple interchangeable hands
• Three alternative expression heads
• Highly poseable S.H.Figuarts engineering
• Official Tamashii Nations collectible

If your anime collection needs a definitive Goku action figure, this is one of the easiest choices to justify.

2. One Piece Luffy – The Raid on Onigashima

One Piece Luffy Onigashima S.H.Figuarts Figure

For One Piece collectors in India, Monkey D. Luffy is practically essential.

The Onigashima version brings Luffy from the Wano Country storyline into the S.H.Figuarts collection. At approximately 5¾ inches tall, the figure is designed with flexible parts and extensive articulation for recreating dynamic scenes from the anime.

The release includes three optional expression parts, two pairs of optional hands and an additional hair set.

That combination makes this more than a simple shelf figure. You can continually change the character's expression and pose depending on how you want your display to look.

Best for

One Piece fans who want a highly articulated Luffy figure inspired by the Wano/Onigashima era.

3. S.H.Figuarts Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Son Goku

Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Son Goku S.H.Figuarts

If your Dragon Ball collection is moving into the Dragon Ball Super era, Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Goku is a transformation that deserves attention.

This release is inspired by Goku's appearance in Dragon Ball Super: Broly and stands approximately 5.5 inches tall. It features a costume inspired by the film's promotional artwork and includes three left hands, four right hands and three faceplates.

The result is a compact but visually striking representation of one of Goku's most recognisable transformations.

Why it stands out

The combination of the blue-haired Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan design, movie-inspired costume and interchangeable parts makes this a strong choice for collectors building a Dragon Ball Super action figure collection.

4. Super Saiyan Son Goku – The Games Begin

Super Saiyan Son Goku – The Games Begin S.H.Figuarts

For many Dragon Ball Z fans, the Cell Saga remains one of the defining arcs of the franchise.

This S.H.Figuarts release captures Super Saiyan Goku from that era at approximately 145mm tall, wearing his familiar orange and blue training gi. The figure has been engineered specifically for dynamic posing, including a Dynamic-Movable Shoulder System designed to improve arm movement.

The included expressions and interchangeable hands make it possible to recreate poses associated with Goku's battles, Kamehameha attacks and Instant Transmission.

A standout feature

The articulation is the star here. If you are the kind of collector who likes posing anime action figures rather than simply displaying them, this version deserves serious consideration.

5. Super Saiyan God Son Goku – Saiyan God of Virtue

Super Saiyan God Son Goku S.H.Figuarts

The transformation into Super Saiyan God introduced a completely different visual identity for Goku.

This S.H.Figuarts figure stands approximately 5.71 inches tall and recreates Goku's red-haired god form from Dragon Ball Super. It includes three alternate head sculpts and four pairs of interchangeable hands for different poses and expressions.

The red hair and slimmer silhouette make this figure particularly distinctive when displayed beside other Goku transformations.

Collector appeal

If you are building a Goku transformation collection, this figure creates an important visual contrast with Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan and other versions.

Collector's note: the current product listing indicates that some versions/conditions may have missing accessories, so check the selected condition carefully before purchasing.

6. Super Saiyan Vegeta – Dangerous Pride

Super Saiyan Vegeta Dangerous Pride S.H.Figuarts

A Dragon Ball collection without Vegeta simply doesn't feel complete.

The Super Saiyan Vegeta "Dangerous Pride" S.H.Figuarts release gives collectors a newly developed sculpt, anime-inspired expressions and refined articulation. It also incorporates the Dynamic-Movable Shoulder System to improve the range and natural movement of Vegeta's arms.

The classic blue battle suit, white gloves and boots and golden Saiyan armour give the figure an instantly recognisable Dragon Ball Z appearance.

Why Vegeta collectors should watch this release

This is particularly attractive for collectors who want to display Goku and Vegeta together.

The contrasting personalities of the two Saiyans also make for an excellent paired display: Goku's relaxed confidence alongside Vegeta's intense, battle-ready attitude.

Release information: the current listing gives a May 2027 release date, making this a future release rather than an immediately available standard in-stock item.

7. Monkey D. Luffy – Romance Dawn

One Piece Monkey D. Luffy Romance Dawn S.H.Figuarts

Before Gear 5, before Wano and before Luffy became one of the most powerful pirates in the world, there was Romance Dawn.

This S.H.Figuarts release celebrates that earlier version of Monkey D. Luffy. The approximately 5¾-inch figure features an updated sculpt and enhanced poseability, along with three pairs of optional hands, three facial expressions, optional hair and even Luffy's beloved meat accessory.

Why this figure is special

For long-time One Piece fans, this isn't simply another Luffy figure.

It represents the beginning of the journey.

That makes it particularly interesting for collectors who want to build their One Piece collection chronologically, from Romance Dawn through later stages of Luffy's adventure.

8. Son Goku – The Kind-Hearted Saiyan

Son Goku – The Kind-Hearted Saiyan S.H.Figuarts

Sometimes the best collectible isn't the most powerful transformation.

Sometimes it's the character in the form fans remember most.

The Kind-Hearted Saiyan Goku captures the iconic protagonist of Dragon Ball Z in his classic orange and blue gi. The figure is designed for dynamic posing and includes two additional head sculpts, three optional expression parts and five types of interchangeable hands for each side.

Perfect for

• First-time Dragon Ball collectors
• Classic Goku fans
• Dragon Ball Z display collections
• Collectors who prefer traditional character designs
• Fans creating a Goku evolution display

If your idea of Goku begins with the classic orange gi, this is a particularly appealing figure.

9. Tanjiro Kamado – Demon Slayer S.H.Figuarts

S.H.Figuarts Tanjiro Kamado

Dragon Ball and One Piece aren't the only anime franchises represented in premium action figures.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba has become one of the most recognisable modern anime franchises, and Tanjiro Kamado is naturally one of the most desirable characters for collectors.

The S.H.Figuarts Tanjiro stands approximately 5½ inches (13.97cm) tall and is produced by Bandai Tamashii Nations. The figure is designed with the detailed aesthetic associated with the S.H.Figuarts line.

Why add Tanjiro?

If your collection already includes Dragon Ball and One Piece, Tanjiro introduces an entirely different visual style.

His distinctive Demon Slayer uniform, character design and sword-based combat aesthetic can add variety to an anime display.

10. Monkey D. Luffy – Gear 5

One Piece Monkey D. Luffy Gear 5 S.H.Figuarts

Few modern anime transformations have created as much excitement as Luffy's Gear 5.

This S.H.Figuarts release takes advantage of the character's famously exaggerated abilities by incorporating wire-based arms and legs for highly dynamic poses.

At approximately 6.1 inches (15.5cm), the figure is made from ABS and PVC and features fully articulated joints, five alternate head sculpts, three pairs of interchangeable hands, extended arms, a lightning effect and a display stand.

Why Gear 5 Luffy is a collector favourite

The figure's engineering matches the character.

Luffy's Gear 5 fighting style is unpredictable, exaggerated and incredibly expressive, and the figure is designed to capture that energy.

For collectors looking for a One Piece Gear 5 figure in India, this is one of the most visually distinctive options in the selection.

11. Jujutsu Kaisen Grandista Zen'in Maki

Jujutsu Kaisen Grandista Zen'in Maki Figure by Banpresto

If you prefer larger display figures over highly articulated action figures, the Jujutsu Kaisen Grandista Zen'in Maki is worth considering.

Produced by Banpresto as part of its Grandista range, this figure stands approximately 26cm (10.24 inches) tall. It presents Maki in a confident walking pose, with attention given to her hairstyle, expression, glasses, combat uniform, belt and weapon.

Unlike the smaller S.H.Figuarts releases in this list, the Grandista format gives Maki a much larger shelf presence.

Best for

Jujutsu Kaisen fans who want a substantial, display-focused Maki figure.

It is also an excellent way to add scale variation to an anime collection containing mostly 5–6-inch figures.

Release information: the current listing states a December 2026 release date.

12. Roronoa Zoro – Romance Dawn

One Piece Roronoa Zoro Romance Dawn S.H.Figuarts

And finally, no Romance Dawn-era One Piece display would be complete without Roronoa Zoro.

This S.H.Figuarts release recreates Zoro's early East Blue appearance and is approximately 150mm tall. Its articulation includes flexible shoulders and abdomen construction, while the figure comes with his three swords that can be displayed sheathed or unsheathed.

The set includes multiple interchangeable hands and facial expressions, along with three unsheathed swords and a katana set for his hip.

There's even a bonus facial expression designed to be compatible with the separately sold S.H.Figuarts Monkey D. Luffy – Romance Dawn figure.

The perfect pairing

If you're building a One Piece S.H.Figuarts collection, Romance Dawn Luffy and Zoro make an especially compelling combination.

Together, they create a display representing the early days of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Which Anime Action Figure Should You Buy?

Why Buy Official Anime Action Figures in India?

With anime collecting becoming increasingly popular, Indian fans have more choices than ever. But not every anime figure sold online is necessarily an official licensed product.

For collectors, purchasing official Bandai, Tamashii Nations, S.H.Figuarts and Banpresto figures has several advantages.

Official collectibles typically offer better character accuracy, licensed packaging, proper sculpting and paint applications, and the confidence that you are purchasing a legitimate product.

This is particularly important for premium collectibles because collectors are not simply buying toys. They are building long-term collections.

When shopping for anime figures in India, look for:

• Official branding
• Authentic manufacturer packaging
• Correct character and product information
• Reputable collectible retailers
• Clearly stated product conditions
• Accurate product photography
• Appropriate age recommendations
• Transparent shipping and return policies

S.H.Figuarts vs Grandista: Which Is Better?

One of the biggest differences across this list is between articulated action figures and larger display figures.

S.H.Figuarts

Choose S.H.Figuarts if you enjoy:

• Dynamic posing
• Interchangeable faces
• Interchangeable hands
• Action displays
• Recreating anime scenes
• Building character-based collections
• Combining multiple figures into battle displays

Banpresto Grandista

Choose Grandista if you prefer:

• Larger figures
• Strong shelf presence
• Detailed sculpting
• Static display
• Bigger character representations

Neither approach is inherently better.

It depends on whether you want your anime collection to feel like a miniature action scene or a premium character display.

Building an Anime Figure Collection in India

If you are starting your collection from scratch, you don't need to buy everything at once.

A smarter approach is to build around your favourite anime franchises.

For Dragon Ball Z, you could start with Goku and gradually add Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan God, Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan and Vegeta.

For One Piece, starting with Luffy and Zoro creates a strong foundation before expanding into other members of the Straw Hat crew.

For Demon Slayer, Tanjiro can become the centrepiece before you add characters such as Nezuko, Zenitsu or Inosuke.

And for Jujutsu Kaisen, a larger display piece such as Maki Grandista can provide a striking focal point before expanding into other characters.

The key is to collect characters you genuinely enjoy rather than simply chasing every release.

Final Verdict: The Best Anime Action Figures for Indian Collectors

The anime collectible market in India has something for virtually every type of fan.

If you're a Dragon Ball Z collector, Goku and Vegeta provide an enormous range of transformations and character versions to explore.

If One Piece is your passion, Luffy, Gear 5 Luffy and Zoro offer several ways to represent different stages of the Straw Hat Pirates' journey.

If you prefer newer anime, Tanjiro Kamado brings Demon Slayer into the collection, while Maki Zen'in gives Jujutsu Kaisen fans a striking large-scale display option.

The biggest advantage of the figures featured here is variety. You can choose between highly articulated S.H.Figuarts action figures designed for dynamic posing and larger Banpresto Grandista collectibles designed to command attention on a shelf.
