There are so many fantastic anime franchises out there, some of which are the best anime to start on. Some of these include Jujutsu Kaisen, Spy x Family, and – the topic I’ll be talking about today – Demon Slayer.
As someone who has loved every season of Demon Slayer with a passion, as well as the movies that have been released regarding the franchise, I am eagerly awaiting the Infinity Castle trilogy. It's one of the most significant moments of the series so far.
When it comes to anime, it might take a while for big arcs like this to release, but if you're like me, there's one way I like to fill the time – shopping therapy. In partnership with the Crunchyroll Store, we've created a list of some of the best Demon Slayer figurines available at their store for you to add to your collection while we all wait for Infinity Castle.
Mitsuri Kanroji ⅛ Scale Figure
Whether it's the most badass characters on Attack on Titan, the wholesomeness of Spy x Family, or more, there are characters within those shows that you can't help but love, and Demon Slayer is no different – which is why I had to put this Mitsuri Kanroji figurine on the list, as someone who is a massive fan of the Love Hashira.
Demon Slayer only got better with Season 3, and a big reason is Mitsuri's amazing abilities. Out of every Hashira, I found myself connecting with her the most. Her sweet nature, amazing acrobatics, and genuine love and care for everyone spoke volumes, and even now, she has stayed within my top ten of the best fighters on the show.
For those who have read the manga, I'm sure Mitsuri is one of your favorite characters too, so why not add her to your shelf of unique figurines?

Giyu Tomioka PM Perching Figure
There are some anime boys that turn fans into a pack of hungry tigers. We could talk about Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen or the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 film, or Levi from Attack on Titan, or even Lloyd from Spy x Family, but out of everyone, Giyu Tomioka definitely ranks high on that list.
Now, don't get me wrong – there are several other Hashiras I would probably place higher than Giyu in the looks department (like Tengen!), but Giyu has this whole "mysterious good boy" thing going on, and of course, anyone with a stoic, handsome face in anime is likely to automatically be at the top of anyone's favorite characters.
But there's a lot more to Giyu than looks. He's also fantastic with the sword, is able to keep calm, and is the reason we even have a character like the loveable Tanjiro as the protagonist of the series – because he saved the boy and recruited Tanjiro into becoming a Demon Slayer. Adding Giyu to your collection is a must-have, and this figurine of him kneeling with that same stoic expression perfectly exemplifies who he is.

Tanjiro Kamado Figure (Restful Ver.)
I can't have a Demon Slayer list without including Tanjiro, the man, the myth, and the legend.
Let me tell you something about Tanjiro. When I first began to watch Demon Slayer, I was really just getting into anime. Granted, I had watched plenty of anime before, like the most iconic Studio Ghibli movies, or of course, Pokemon. But there wasn't a protagonist out there that was just good. They were all morally gray and had their issues, and while that made for a complex character, I needed someone who just genuinely wanted to do something good.
Enter Tanjiro Kamado of Demon Slayer. Tanjiro is the best anime protagonist, and I stand by that because he is a good person. His entire story revolves around him trying to find a way to save his sister, and there is not a single moment in this show where I look at him and think, "That's pretty messed up."
He puts his heart into everything. He tries his absolute hardest. And while there are figurines out there that show him off in his fighting positions, I personally love this one – where he's just resting. He fights so much for what he believes in. Why not just let him chill? It's the perfect figurine.

Tanjiro Kamado & Kyojuro Rengoku ICHIBANSHO Figure Set
Last but not least, we need to discuss this Tanjiro and Rengoku figurine. Yes, looking at it brings tears to my eyes.
When it comes to Demon Slayer, each season tends to focus on different Hashira while also simultaneously telling the story of Tanjiro and his adventures. Often, he'll interact with the Hashira in some way each season. The first half of Season 2, called the Mugen Train Arc, featured Tanjiro and Rengoku working together.
Rengoku is sort of like Tanjiro but even more positive if that makes sense. I don't think I ever saw the Flame Hashira with a frown on his face, and the episodes that focused on the two of them, as well as Tanjiro's friends, were some of the best of the series. Rengoku is another character where you could buy figurines that feature him in a relaxed pose or using his powers, but I again like this figurine – him and Tanjiro just relaxing together, taking a nap on one of the train seats, mentor and mentee. I'm getting emotional just looking at it.

The wait for Infinity Castle feels like ages away, but hopefully, it won't be long before we get to see these characters again. And for now, you could add some of these figurines to your collection before that trilogy drops.
