Ecchi merchandise is a step up from regular merchandise, but still not quite the level of Hentai merch or figurines for that matter.
It’s what fans seek when they want something:
- Cheeky.
- Fanservice.
- Politically incorrect.
- Playful.
And ultimately something that many people don’t have the balls to wear, flex, or be caught dead with.
Let’s get into some of the BEST types of ecchi merchandise.
Types of Ecchi merchandise:
1. PVC Statues
PVC Statues are the types of anime or ecchi figurines that:
- Aren’t flexible.
- Are stationary.
And aren’t intended to be moved, picked apart, changed, etc. They are the most stunning types of figurines you can buy for this reason since they cost more, are more valuable, and have a higher quality finish.
Ecchi PVC statues are common types of merch bought by fans from various anime shows and series.
Common series are:
- High School DxD.
- To Love Ru.
- Konosuba.
- Senran Kagura.
Or even non ecchi anime shows that end up being modified specifically as ecchi figurines.
- 30 day money back guarantee with worldwide shipping.
- Payment plans available.
- Wide range of original anime products.
- Payment options like Google Pay.
2. T Shirts & Hoodies
T shirts and hoodies are some of the most common types of ecchi merchandise on the planet. Everyone wears and needs t shirts or hoodies due to the weather, climate, and the fact we need clothing.
It just so happens that characters like Rias Gremory can end up on an anime t shirt, and fans choose to wear it as a type of merch worth purchasing.
Sometimes you also see designs like:
- Girls in lingerie.
- Parts of the design blurred out.
- Ahegao.
- Kissing.
And everything else you can imagine.
3. Posters & Canvases
When it comes to posters and canvases, anime fans who seek out this type of ecchi merchandise are interested in making their home look a certain way.
It’s about decoration, just like people who buy posters and canvases in general.
Typical designs you might see with ecchi posters:
- Ecchi characters from shows like DxD or To Love Ru.
- Wallpaper art of original anime female characters.
- Vertical or horizontal designs of anime girls.
- Fanservice style designs.
Posters and canvases aren’t the most expensive of ecchi merchandise, but they can be anywhere from $20 to $200 depending on the quality, the size, the material, and the artwork itself.
Not to mention the retailer.
4. Action Figures
Action figures are some of the most sought after figurines in the anime industry for a good reason.
You can:
- Modify.
- Change.
- Alter.
- Switch.
And even move the body parts of the anime action figure to your liking in a lot of cases. This is especially true for ECCHI action figures which give you obvious flexibility but for a different reason altogether.
These types of ecchi action figures are bought by female fans, not just male fans contrary to popular belief. The reasons are far and wide, going well beyond aesthetics and art.
5. Dakimakura (Body Pillow)
Anime body pillows are famous in the anime community for the wrong reasons you could say, since there are so many memes about it.
Also, it’s the one thing people outside the community associate with anime but in the degenerate context.
That aside, the market for those who DO buy Dakimakura (anime body pillows), including the ecchi kind, does exist even in 2024 and beyond.
It’s a much younger crowd compared to other types of ecchi merch like t shirts or hoodies for example.
6. Accessories (stickers, mouse mats, etc)
Another type of ecchi merchandise is anything that fits into the accessories pile.
That can include:
- Mouse mats.
- Magnets.
- Door mats.
- Bath towels.
- Car stickers.
- Bumper stickers.
- Body paint.
- Notebooks.
- Keyrings.
And a wide range of other ecchi merch featuring the hottest, sauciest characters that grace these products.
Original anime girls can be part of the merch, or it can be fanart of the most popular anime waifus like Marin Kitagawa for example.
7. Anime Duvets
Anime duvets are also another form of ecchi merch (and anime merch in general) that might not be at the forefront of people’s minds but still has a market of many buyers across the world.
Mainly Japan and various other countries like the USA.
Anime duvets commonly feature ECCHI versions of characters like:
- Emilia (ReZero).
- Asuna Yuuki.
- Rias Gremory.
- Marin Kitagawa.
- Mitsuri Kanroji.
- Akame (Akame Ga Kill).
- Hinata Hyuga.
- Setsuna (Redo Of Healer).
Plus too many other female characters to name (with varying degrees of popularity and fanservice).
–
In the end, these types of ecchi merchandise are most popular and common because:
- They’re the most widely available.
- They’re the easiest to purchase.
- They serve a unique purpose.
And most of all, it’s perfect for anime collectors who want variety with every intention to decorate their homes, rooms, and beyond.
While other anime buyers will buy because they enjoy these characters and designs in one or more of these types of designs and products.
