A few weeks ago, I spotted a fan at a local convention wearing a stunning Teyvat map hoodie. The fabric caught my eye - heavyweight cotton with a soft brushed interior. That moment reminded me why tracking the best-selling hoyoverse merch 2026 matters: it shows what truly resonates with the community. In this guide, I'll break down the top-selling apparel, figures, plushies, and accessories so far this year, and why they've earned their spot.
Top Apparel Picks
Apparel remains the most accessible way to show game loyalty. In 2026, two categories dominate: oversized hoodies and enamel pin-embellished hats.
Oversized Hoodies: The Clear Winner
The Genshin Impact "Archon's Legacy" hoodie is on track to be the best-selling item of the year. It's made from 12-ounce fleece - heavy enough to hold its shape after washes. The rear print features all seven elemental symbols in glow-in-the-dark ink. A fan told me she wears it to weekly co-op sessions and gets compliments every time. At $59.99, it's priced to be a daily staple.
Honkai: Star Rail's Trailblazer hoodie isn't far behind. Its subtle tonal embroidered logo on the chest keeps it office-friendly while the back shows an abstract train track design. Both hoodies come in six sizes (XS-3XL) and unisex cuts.
Hats and Beanies
Embroidered dad hats are having a moment. The Zenless Zone Zero "Hollow Raiders" cap sold out twice in Q1. Its low-profile curve and woven patch appeal to fans who want subtle fandom. The Genshin Impact "Paimon's Guide" beanie, with a detachable pom-pom, is a winter favorite. Both retail between $24.99 and $29.99.
Best-Selling Figures and Plushies
Collectibles drive repeat purchases. In 2026, three specific items are flying off shelves.
Honkai Impact 3rd: Elysia Figure (Scale 1/7)
This figure captures Elysia mid-dance pose, with translucent resin effects for her pink hair and flowing dress. At 9 inches tall, it has die-cast metal joints for stability. Pre-orders sold out within 48 hours. Priced at $149.99, it's a premium piece for dedicated collectors.
Genshin Impact: Nahida Plush (12-inch)
Plushies continue to be high-volume movers. The Nahida plush features embroidered leaf details and a weighted crystal core that makes her sit upright. Over 15,000 units sold in the first half of 2026. At $34.99, it's a budget-friendly entry point for new fans.
Honkai: Star Rail: Pom-Pom Keychain Plush
A mini 4-inch version of the train conductor. Its soft fleece and detachable ring make it a backpack staple. The $12.99 price leads to frequent multi-buys - one customer bought five for friends.
Accessories That Fans Love
Smaller items often have the highest repeat purchase rates.
Phone Grips and Charms
The themed phone grip series covers all three main franchises. The Xingqiu hydro-theme grip has a water effect inside the silicone. They retail for $8.99 each. Fans buy them in sets to match their team compositions.
Enamel Pins
Limited-edition pins from Genshin Impact's "Lantern Rite" event are the top-selling accessory. Each pin is hard enamel with a butterfly clasp. Sold individually ($10.99) or in a 5-pin set ($49.99). The set includes exclusive packaging with a magnetic display frame.
Lanyards
Double-sided woven lanyards with metal clips are a convention essential. The Honkai: Star Rail "Nameless" lanyard shows the Astral Express on one side and the Nameless logo on the other. Priced at $14.99.
Why These Items Are Trending
Several factors drive these sales:
- Character popularity: Elysia and Nahida are fan-favorite characters with strong emotional connections. Merch featuring them naturally sells better.
- Design quality: The use of glow-in-the-dark ink, translucent resin, and weighted plush cores shows that fans value innovative design details.
- Price accessibility: Items range from $8.99 to $149.99, allowing fans at all budget levels to participate.
- Social media visibility: Unboxing videos and outfit-of-the-day posts create organic demand. The Nahida plush has its own tag on Instagram with over 50,000 posts.
- Limited supply: Pre-order windows and small batch runs create urgency without feeling forced.
Key Takeaways

- Premium materials and creative features (glow-in-the-dark, translucent effects) justify higher price points.
- Plushies and pins offer low-cost entry points that drive repeat purchases.
