Which Chainsaw Man Figures to Collect While You Watch (2026 Guide)

If you are watching Chainsaw Man for the first time in 2026, the figure catalog can feel as chaotic as Denji's job. There are chibi Nendoroids, articulated figma, 1/7 scale statues, plastic model kits, and a stack of prize figures pulled from Ichiban Kuji lotteries. This guide answers one question: which Chainsaw Man figures to collect while you watch, matched to where you are in the story. We map every major line to Season 1 and the Reze Arc movie, flag what is genuinely available, and keep spoilers light so you can build your shelf as the anime unfolds.

Every date and figure line below is drawn from official maker listings and reporting, cited at the end. Prices move and prize figures sell through fast, so we point you to the collectible types rather than promising a specific stock number.

How to watch Chainsaw Man in order before you collect

Chainsaw Man is short and linear so far, which makes it easy to collect alongside. There are two pieces of screen canon: the 2022 television season and the 2025 Reze Arc feature film. Watch them in release order and the figures below will map cleanly onto what you have just seen.

For the fuller breakdown, including dub timing and the manga chapters each part covers, see our Chainsaw Man watch order guide. If you already know you want to build a Denji-and-Power shelf, Akibato ships Chainsaw Man figures and prize items from Japan, so you can start while the arc is fresh.

Season 1 (2022): 12 episodes on Crunchyroll

Studio MAPPA produced the 12-episode first season, which introduces Denji, his chainsaw-devil companion Pochita, Power, Aki Hayakawa, and their handler Makima. This is the block that made almost every figure line you will see below, so most collectors start here.

Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc (2025–2026)

MAPPA's Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc continues directly from the series and marks the anime debut of Reze. It opened in Japanese cinemas on September 19, 2025, reached U.S. theaters in October 2025, and grossed more than 174 million dollars worldwide, per CBR. The film then joined Crunchyroll's streaming library on April 30, 2026, according to ScreenRant, so as of 2026 you can stream both parts in one sitting. It arrived to strong reviews, holding a 96 percent critics score on Rotten Tomatoes.

The main Chainsaw Man figure lines, explained

Before you buy, it helps to know what each line actually is. Chainsaw Man figures fall into a few families, and the right one depends on your budget, your shelf space, and whether you want to pose the figure or just display it. Here is the quick version.

Chibi and desk-friendly lines

Nendoroids are the friendly entry point: around 10 cm, with interchangeable faces so a single Denji can grin, snarl, or go blank. POP UP PARADE figures are pre-posed statues in the 17 to 18 cm range that stay affordable, which makes them the easiest way to line up the whole cast without breaking the bank. If you are weighing the two, our explainer on POP UP PARADE figures covers the size and value question in detail.

Articulated and scale figures

figma are fully articulated by Max Factory, so you can recreate Denji mid-transformation or pose Power with her hammer. At the top end sit 1/7 scale statues from makers such as SEGA, Phat!, and Myethos: larger, pricier, and built to be a shelf centerpiece rather than a toy. New to the format war between poseable and static figures? Our guide to the difference between Nendoroid and figma clears it up in a minute.

Two more niches are worth knowing. Nendoroid Doll versions of Denji and Power swap the usual plastic body for a poseable figure with a real fabric outfit, so they read more like collectible dolls than desk figures — and Good Smile sells spare outfit sets for them. At the luxury end, FREEing produced larger 1/4 scale Bunny Ver. statues of Power and Makima for collectors who want a single showpiece rather than a full lineup. Neither is essential for a first shelf, but both come up once you go deeper.

Prize figures and Ichiban Kuji

Ichiban Kuji is a paid lottery where every ticket wins a prize, and the top tiers are often exclusive figures you cannot buy at retail. Chainsaw Man has had multiple lotteries, and the Reze Arc movie has its own. The premium figures usually use Bandai's MASTERLISE finish; if that term is new, our note on what MASTERLISE means explains why those prizes command a premium.

Chainsaw Man figures to collect during Season 1

Season 1 is where the core cast lands, and it is the most heavily supported part of the franchise for figures. If you are watching the TV anime right now, these are the characters with the deepest options. The table shows which lines exist per character, according to Good Smile Company's catalog.

Denji and Pochita

Denji is the obvious first buy. The Good Smile Nendoroid ships with a transformation face plate, a starter rope for his chest, and interchangeable chainsaw arms, so a single figure covers both his everyday and Chainsaw Man forms. Want him bigger? SEGA's 1/7 scale Denji & Pochita figure pairs him with his devil dog, and PLAMAX offers a Pochita model kit if you just want the mascot on your desk.

Power and Meowy

Power is the deepest-supported character in the range. Beyond her Nendoroid, which includes standard, smiling, and eating faces plus her cat Meowy, there is a figma, a POP UP PARADE, a PLAMAX kit, and multiple 1/7 scale statues from Phat! and SEGA. Collectors who love a single character can build an entire Power shelf without touching a prize lottery.

Aki Hayakawa, Makima, and the supporting cast

Aki Hayakawa and Makima both have the full Nendoroid, POP UP PARADE, figma, and scale spread, so they slot straight into a four-figure main-cast display alongside Denji and Power. The Makima Nendoroid adds her signature calm and triangular-mouth faces plus a lollipop. Kobeni gets a Nendoroid and a POP UP PARADE, and fan-favorite Himeno has a POP UP PARADE, which is enough to round out the Public Safety devil hunters. For the complete catalog of every line and where each sits on price, see our Chainsaw Man figures guide.

Chainsaw Man figures to collect for the Reze Arc movie

Once you finish Season 1 and watch Reze Arc, the collecting focus shifts. Reze is the arc's new face, and because the film is recent, most of her figures come through movie-tie prize lines rather than the older retail catalog.

Reze, the Bomb Devil

Reze is the emotional core of the movie, and she is the character to chase after you watch it. Retail scale and Nendoroid options for her are still thin compared with the Season 1 cast, so the fastest way to get a Reze figure right now is through the movie's Ichiban Kuji and deformed-figure lines rather than waiting on a standard release.

The Reze Arc Ichiban Kuji and PalVerse line

Bandai's Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc Ichiban Kuji Vol.2 is the tie-in lottery for the film, built around Denji and Reze figures. Alongside it, the PalVerse Palé deformed line offers palm-sized Reze, Aki Hayakawa, and Angel Devil figures — a cheaper way to grab the movie's cast in a cute style. We break the lottery down prize by prize in our Reze Arc Ichiban Kuji Part 2 guide. Both the kuji and the PalVerse figures are in stock now at Akibato's Chainsaw Man collection, shipped from Japan.

More figures are on the way

Good Smile Company has shown painted prototypes of new Nendoroids for Aki, Kobeni, and Makima, a new figma of Power, and five POP UP PARADE figures covering Aki, Power, Makima, Himeno, and Kobeni, per Siliconera. There is no release window announced yet, so treat them as future waves rather than current buys, but they signal that the retail range is still expanding.

Which Chainsaw Man figure should you buy first?

If you only buy one figure while you watch, match it to your budget and your goal. Here is a simple decision table.

Our broader most wanted anime figures guide puts these picks in context if you collect across more than one series.

How to buy Chainsaw Man figures and Ichiban Kuji from overseas

Ichiban Kuji is normally an in-store lottery in Japan, which is the single biggest hurdle for overseas fans. The workable routes are a proxy or forwarding service, or an importer that has already drawn the prizes and lists them individually. Retail figures such as Nendoroids and POP UP PARADE are easier, since they are mass-produced and widely stocked. Our step-by-step guide to buying Ichiban Kuji from outside Japan walks through the options and the costs to expect.

Collecting tips while you watch Chainsaw Man

Collecting alongside the anime is more fun than binge-buying afterward, but a few habits save money and shelf regret. These apply whether you are one episode in or just walked out of the Reze Arc movie.

• Buy the character you just met, not the whole cast. Season 1 introduces the four best-supported characters early, so a single Denji or Power figure per few episodes keeps the collection tied to the story.
• Decide format before you decide character. Mixing a 10 cm Nendoroid with a 25 cm scale figure on one shelf looks off. Pick one line for a matching set, then splurge on a single scale centerpiece.
• Treat prize figures as time-limited. Ichiban Kuji figures are made in fixed runs and are not restocked, so a movie-tie Reze prize you skip now is harder and pricier to find later.
• Keep the box for prize and scale figures. Original packaging protects the figure in transit from Japan and matters most for the higher-value scale and MASTERLISE pieces if you ever resell.
• Check the sculpt, not just the character. The same character often has several versions across makers; compare the face and paint in photos before committing, especially for scale figures.

The source material also hints at what is coming: Tatsuki Fujimoto's manga has moved into a second part, which means characters beyond the current anime will eventually get figures. Collecting the Season 1 core now gives those future waves a shelf to join.

Chainsaw Man figures FAQ

How many Chainsaw Man figures are there?

Across all makers there are dozens, spanning Nendoroid, Nendoroid Doll, POP UP PARADE, figma, PLAMAX kits, and 1/7 scale statues, plus prize figures from several Ichiban Kuji lotteries. Denji, Power, Makima, and Aki have the deepest options; Reze and other Reze Arc characters are mostly served by the movie's prize lines so far.

Do I need to watch Chainsaw Man before collecting?

No, but it helps. Season 1 introduces the four characters with the most figures, and the Reze Arc movie explains why Reze suddenly has her own lottery. Watching in order also keeps late reveals from being spoiled by a figure's accessories.

What is the cheapest Chainsaw Man figure line?

POP UP PARADE is the most affordable retail line, typically 17 to 18 cm pre-posed statues, which is why it is the go-to for assembling the whole cast. PalVerse deformed figures are another low-cost option for the Reze Arc characters.

Where can I watch Chainsaw Man in 2026?

Both the 2022 television season and Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc stream on Crunchyroll. The movie was added on April 30, 2026, so you can watch both parts back to back.

Are Chainsaw Man Ichiban Kuji figures worth it?

For the Reze Arc characters, often yes, because the premium MASTERLISE prizes are figures you cannot buy at normal retail. For Season 1 characters, a standard Nendoroid or scale figure may be easier to obtain than chasing a sold-through lottery.

Key takeaways

• Watch in order: Season 1 (2022, 12 episodes) then Reze Arc (movie), both on Crunchyroll as of April 30, 2026.
• Start with Denji: his Nendoroid covers both forms, making it the safest first buy.
• Power is the deepest line: Nendoroid, figma, POP UP PARADE, PLAMAX, and multiple scales.
• Reze is prize-line first: the Reze Arc Ichiban Kuji and PalVerse figures are the fastest way to get her.
• More is coming: new Nendoroids, a figma, and five POP UP PARADE figures are in development.
