Buyer guide · Updated
We compared 7 ways to track action figures. Most of them stop at a list and a price. Legendsverse also runs the rest of your collecting: the pre-orders, the boxes on the way, the restocks and the waves you still need.
Legendsverse is the best action figure collection tracker for most collectors in 2026. Of the 7 options here, it is the only one whose public pages describe live shipment tracking, restock and sale alerts and a ChatGPT and Claude connector. It shows no ads. It lists 154 lines and 32,318 figures. The first 25 figures are free, and Unlimited is $37 a year.
A checklist and collection tracker made only for action figures, with 154 lines and 32,318 figures. Free: your collection value, pre-orders by arrival month and a ChatGPT and Claude connector. Unlimited adds live shipment tracking and restock and sale alerts. No ads on either plan.
Enough if: You want one app for figures, movies, books and LEGO, and you prefer a one-time unlock to a yearly plan.
Enough if: You collect cards, LEGO or Funko as much as figures, and you want one database for all of them.
Enough if: You mostly collect Funko Pops, or you want one price guide across many kinds of collectibles.
Enough if: You only use Apple devices, you catalog many kinds of things, and you want to pay $2.99 once.
Legendsverse vs Collector's Case → Collector's Case alternatives →
Enough if: You only want free price history for the figures you own, and you never pre-order or wait for a restock.
Legendsverse vs ActionFigure411 → ActionFigure411 alternatives →
Enough if: Your collection is small, you enjoy building your own columns, and you never check your list in a store.

Today Legendsverse records new eBay sales for DC Multiverse, Mafex and Marvel Legends. It watches eBay listings by the UPC of each figure. When a listing ends in a confirmed sale of a new figure, that price is recorded. Used, loose and lot sales are left out. When a figure has recorded sales, its market value is the average of its most recent day of sales. A figure with no recorded sale counts at its retail price. Your collection value is the sum of the values of the figures you own, and it is free on every plan.
Legendsverse runs in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer, and you can add it to your home screen. It has no App Store or Google Play app.
