These are the rarest and most expensive amiibo for Nintendo Switch
If you're an amiibo collector, you need these for your collection of Switch characters.
Nintendo's amiibo are collectible figurines featuring all of your favorite video game characters from Nintendo Switch, 3DS, and Wii U. Ever the king of scarcity, Nintendo experienced supply issues, which led to rushes and shortages of certain figures. Some will set you back a pretty penny if you want to add them to your collection. Here are the most expensive amiibo statues out there.
This list includes amiibo that you can actually purchase; not special limited edition amiibo like the gold Monster Hunter Rise and Stories 2 amiibo or defective amiibo that are no longer on the market.
Super Mario series
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The Legend of Zelda series
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.
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.
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.
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.
Splatoon series
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.
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.
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.
Super Smash Bros. series
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Metroid series
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.
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.
