You probably know Sonny Angels as the small, cherubic, collectible figurines that started in Japan and then took off globally (largely thanks to the power of TikTok). If you don’t know what a Sonny Angel is, they’re basically cute, pocket-sized, baby-like figurines with a variety of novelty headwear modeled after different objects—including anything from a starfish to a radish to Mount Fuji. These collectors’ items (which are sold in blind mystery boxes) are also famous for having massive resale values, despite the originals being sold for a relatively cheap price. But which Sonny Angels are the rarest and most expensive? We’ll tell you, with this ranked list of the rarest individual Sonny Angel figurines, followed by the rarest Sonny Angel series.
What is the rarest and most expensive Sonny Angel?
Robby Angel, Sonny’s “friend,” is often considered the rarest. However, some secret Sonny Angels are even rarer and more expensive in resale. The Happy Little Bear and Koala Bitter Chocolate figurines are some of the rarest, while the rarest Sonny Angel series include Chocolate 2016, Message of Love, and IT’S BANANAS!
