Amiibos may have started as fun, functional toys-to-life figures, but in the years since their debut, some have become high-value collectibles on the resale market. Whether due to limited runs, regional exclusivity, or bizarre factory defects, certain Amiibos now sell for hundreds or even thousands of dollars to the right buyer, blowing away any initial prices by a landslide.
All Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom Amiibo Rewards
There are three major Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom Amiibo rewards you can unlock as well as the chance to get Smoothie and Monster materials.
For many, the value doesn't just stem from some nostalgia kick, but goes a lot deeper, with plenty of figures skyrocketing in value based on many different circumstances. From fuzzy Yoshi to misprinted Samus, the numbers start to get quite silly on the high end, proving that passion and love can go a lot further with a deep enough wallet.
8 Golden Mega Man
Price: $66-93
Released as a special edition to celebrate Mega Man Legacy Collection, the Gold Mega Man Amiibo is a rarer variant of the standard version, and while not especially hard to find at launch, it quickly disappeared from shelves and fell into obscurity.
Nowadays, the little golden man fetches just shy of $100 on the resale market, with the sealed versions fetching the higher end of the spectrum. The reason for the high price is down to two main factors: recognition and scarcity, as not only is the character incredibly well known, but the figures themselves are pretty hard to find nowadays.
7 Mega Yarn Yoshi
Price: $120-176
Mega Yarn Yoshi is an adorable, fluffy companion that towers over regular Amiibos, whilst boasting a soft and squishy feel that sets it apart from the traditional hardness of its counterparts. It is easy to see why the toy has a lot of appeal, being a fan-favorite character in one of his most adorable renditions to date, and still functioning as an Amiibo to be used in-game.
Because of its unique design and limited shelf life, its resale value has stayed consistently high, with prices ranging from $120 to nearly $180, depending on condition, a few reaching even further. It's a great addition to any collection and remains one of the most iconic and widely sought-after collectibles in the entire catalog.
6 Lioleia & Cheval
Price: $147-208
Released exclusively in Japan as part of the Monster Hunter Stories line, this two-character Amiibo features Cheval mounted on the red wyvern Lioleia in the midst of battle, in what is one of the more flashy and elaborate Amiibo designs out there.

Nintendo reveals an updated list of the 10 best-selling Switch 1 games of all time.
High demand from both Monster Hunter fans and collectors outside Japan has pushed its resale value into the $150–200+ range, and trying to find one today can cost a premium due to shipping, scarcity, and competition from other hungry collectors looking to add it to their display cabinet.
5 Navirou
Price: $80-211
Navirou’s unique design and limited production make it a favorite among Amiibo collectors, and its quirky aesthetic helps it stand out from more traditional Nintendo characters, something which many collectors look for when seeking out new additions to round out their displays.
While not as expensive as some others on the low end, high-condition Navirou figures can command up to $200+ on resale platforms, standing as yet another example of how regional exclusivity fuels demand and how much people are willing to pay for the title of ownership.
4 Qbby
Price: $250-420
Qbby, the simple square hero of BoxBoy!, received a single, Japan-exclusive Amiibo back in 2017, and since then, it has garnered a huge amount of attention in the West from eager collectors with their eyes on the prize. It was never released internationally, and limited production has since driven its value into the mid triple figures, all for what is one of the more basic designs out there.
Fans of the franchise and hardcore Amiibo collectors alike have hunted this minimalist cube ever since it released, and thanks to its niche appeal and regional scarcity, it has become one of the rarest non-defective Amiibos available.
3 Missing‑left‑hand Luigi
Price: $500
Defects have always been an interesting aspect of the collector world, and this Luigi Amiibo is the perfect example of that. It gained notoriety not for its features, but for what it lacks: a left hand. Though not as dramatic as other defects, the individuality made it a standout oddity among collectors, allowing its price to surge far past its non-defective cousins.
It was sold for around $500, setting a high bar for similar figures to clear, and while less extreme than some of the other defective Amiibos out there, it remains a notable example of how even small errors can create major value in collector markets.
2 Samus with Two Cannons
Price: $2500
This Samus figure features a second arm cannon where her left hand should be, adding a huge uniqueness to an already popular figure. It is almost the perfect defect, as it doesn't takeaway from the actual model, rather giving it something more to make it look way cooler and distinctive from the crowd.

An Animal Crossing: New Horizons player creates amiibo figures based on their villagers that are actually functional.
The rarity of this manufacturing error, combined with Samus’ popularity, has made it one of the most iconic and valuable Amiibo defects. Selling for $2,500 back in 2014, it’s far more than a curiosity and stands as one of the most expensive collectibles in the entire Nintendo universe.
1 Legless Princess Peach
Price: $25,100
Princess Peach is up there with one of the most iconic characters in all of gaming, so when a defective Amiibo of her popped up without any legs, it quickly turned into one of the most valuable video game collectibles ever. This one-of-a-kind misprint caused a frenzy when it appeared on eBay shortly after launch, bringing in over 100 bids with only one claiming the ultimate prize.
It sold for over $25,000, setting a record no other Amiibo has touched since. Its value isn’t tied to rarity in a traditional sense, but for being the ultimate oddity, a glitch in the system that became gaming gold overnight and may remain at the top for the rest of time.
