Pop Up Parade figures are collectible anime and game character statues created by Good Smile Company, designed for fans who want high-quality display figures at a more accessible price than traditional scale figures. The line is especially popular for its easy-to-collect size, fast release rhythm, colorful sculpting, and massive character range from anime, manga, games, VTubers, and pop culture titles.
Collectors love Pop Up Parade because it makes fan-favorite characters easier to display together without the high cost or large space requirements of premium scale statues. The series includes standard POP UP PARADE figures, Pop UP PARADE L size, XL size, Special/SP editions, Swacchao! sitting figures, Zoom! figures, and BEACH QUEENS swimsuit figures. Average prices usually range from about $30 for the mini cute plushies and up to $229.99 for the biggest ones.
