Every Yuumi figure and plush compared

This is the plain base-skin Yuumi figure: Riot's Series 3 collectible, item #021, a small sitting figure of Yuumi the Magical Cat (11.5 cm tall, 8 cm wide) that shipped in a Series 3 box. It retailed at $27.50 and is now Retired and out of stock on the official store, so it only trades secondhand. Hoarden tracks 18 active UK eBay asks running £16 to £372 with a median around £56 — but that spread is almost entirely variant confusion, not scarcity. The £16–£20 floor is loose base figures near original retail; the inflated middle and the £300+ ceiling are mostly mis-titled Heartseeker and chroma figures (a different, later, fancier SKU) listed under the same “Yuumi figure” name, plus optimistic asks that aren't selling. If you want the actual base figure, confirm the photographed piece is the plain Series 3 #021 — not a Heartseeker — and expect to pay near the low end, not the median.

The Heartseeker Yuumi figure is a separate, later product from the base figure despite the shared name: it's Riot's Series 4 #18, a Valentine's-themed chibi of Yuumi on a heart tome with angel wings, made by PureArts for Riot and sold in gold-foil Special Edition packaging. It retails at $34.99 and — unusually for this comparison — was still in stock at the Riot store at research time, which makes it the lowest-risk Yuumi figure to buy: order it new and direct rather than chase a resale. It also comes in two chroma editions, Pearl (white/pearlescent) and Ruby (red), each its own SKU with an exclusive summoner icon. Important: the chromas are priced the same $34.99 as the base — they are not a higher tier, just rarer. Chroma editions are Riot's hyper-rare micro-run class and retire with no restock once they sell out: Pearl is already retired/sold out (secondary-only), while Ruby was still orderable at research time. If you want a chroma, buy Ruby direct while it lasts; Pearl now means the resale market.

The Yuumi Sitting Plush is Riot's 2020 soft plush of Yuumi in a sitting pose: polyester fiber, roughly 13 cm tall by 17 cm wide by 21 cm deep. It's a Standard Release — Riot's collectability guide describes that tier as kept in stock for years and generally restocked after it sells out, so an out-of-stock listing on the official store is a restock-pending signal, not retirement, and there's no scarcity premium to pay. One honest caveat: we could not verify the plush's exact original retail from a primary source (the official pages are currently out of stock and render no price), so we show it as roughly $28–30 in line with Riot's other champion plushes rather than assert a number. The real buyer issue here isn't price, it's authenticity: this is the most heavily bootlegged Yuumi item by far, with generic “Magical Cat Yuumi Plush” knockoffs all over eBay and AliExpress below retail. The fastest check is the sewn-in label — Hoarden's Yuumi authentication guide walks through it.

The cheapest Yuumi piece is the Battle Principal Yuumi Team Mini: a small (~6.2 cm) non-scale chibi from Riot's Battle Academia collection, where Yuumi is the academy principal. It launched in 2021 as part of the Battle Academia debut merch line and is now Retired / Limited Edition on the Riot store. One useful fact for buyers: Yuumi was sold as a standalone $12 Team Mini, not bundled into the $40 five-character Battle Academia Team Minis set — so a listing pricing her as “part of the set” is mispriced. Riot doesn't publish a material for the mini (resellers cite PVC, unconfirmed). At this price point it's a low-stakes collectible; the only thing to watch is paying set money for a piece that sold solo.

The Yuumi Crystal Figure is the line's one true import: a crystal-effect Yuumi figure released through Riot's China Tmall store in 2024 as a gift-box edition at ¥599 — roughly $83. It never had a Western retail channel, so every copy outside China is an import, and that, not domestic scarcity, is what sets its real acquisition cost. Hoarden tracks no active secondary listing for it right now; earlier Western import asks (one ran as high as roughly $499) have come and gone, so there's no current market number to quote — only the ¥599 retail anchor. At an import premium, the things that matter are gift-box completeness and seller provenance: demand the full sealed gift-box photo set, and treat an unlicensed “Valentine's gift box” repack as a different thing from the genuine Tmall release. If you want the rarest-to-own Yuumi piece in the West, this is it — just buy it as the considered import it is, not on a headline number.
