These figures instantly caught my eye because of how iconic the characters are—Solaire, Siegmeyer, Oscar, Ornstein, and Artorias—all in one set. As a long-time fan of the Dark Souls series, I’ve always wanted a compact but recognizable group of collectibles without paying crazy import prices.
Shipping took about three weeks, which is pretty standard from AliExpress to my region. Everything arrived well-packed in foam inserts with a thin plastic bag per figure—no visible damage or scratches.

The details genuinely surprised me: Solaire’s sun emblem is crisp, Artorias has his signature greatsword and ragged cape, and even Ornstein’s armor has that nice golden hue. At 8cm, they’re small but perfect for a desk display. The plastic quality isn’t Hot Toys-level, but it’s way above what I expected for the price.
Pros: Great character likenesses, compact size, durable paint. Cons: A couple of figures had minor seam lines, no individual stands. US Price Comparison: A similar 5-pack on Amazon runs $60+, while this set cost me under $20. Verdict: Definitely met and even exceeded expectations. They’re a steal for Dark Souls collectors.

I picked this one up specifically to complement the smaller figures. Artorias is probably the most iconic knight in the Dark Souls universe, so having a larger solo version felt right. This figure is around 15cm, and that height difference adds visual weight to it on a shelf.
It came in a plain box but with molded foam—safe and secure. The sculpting is legit. The posture, the flowing cape, the oversized sword—everything screams “Abysswalker.” What surprised me most was the attention to texture, especially the armor detailing and how they managed to replicate his jagged, corrupted look.

Pros: Incredible sculpting, dynamic pose, sturdy base. Cons: No retail box art, and the sword could’ve been painted with more depth. US Price Comparison: A comparable statue on sites like BigBadToyStore costs $90–120. I paid around $22. Verdict: Easily my favorite of the bunch. I wasn’t expecting this level of craftsmanship at this price.
I was looking to fill out my Dark Souls shelf with less-hyped but equally beloved characters—Siegmeyer, Black Knight, Faraam, and (again) Artorias. This “Heroes of Lordran” set felt like a deep cut for real fans.

Shipping was a bit slower (~4 weeks), but worth the wait. Each figure is about 9–10cm and made from matte PVC. Siegmeyer looks adorably round, Faraam’s helm has intricate details, and the Black Knight’s red plume is sharp and defined.
Pros: Unique character selection, decent scale, solid construction. Cons: Some minor paint smudges on the Black Knight. US Price Comparison: Would run about $70–80 for four detailed figures like this. I got the whole set for under $25. Verdict: Feels like I got a premium collector’s set for budget pricing. Very satisfied.

I bought this mostly for the base. The TOTAKU stand-style figures always looked cool online, and I wanted to see how they held up in person. Featuring Sunbro in full glory, the vibrant “Praise the Sun” pose is front and center.
The molded base and presentation really elevate it. It’s not poseable, but the quality of the sculpt and base design is more than enough for display. Paint application is neat with no bleeding colors.
US $7.73
|
Pros: Detailed base, vibrant colors, collectible-worthy display. Cons: Non-poseable, very lightweight. US Price Comparison: These TOTAKU-style figures usually sell for $25–30 domestically. I paid about $10. Verdict: Great value if you want a more polished display piece.
For something a little more fun and lighthearted, I ordered these chibi Dark Souls characters—Solaire, Artorias, Ornstein, and the Fire Keeper. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but these are adorable!

Each figure is stylized with exaggerated heads, big eyes, and soft color palettes. The Fire Keeper especially is beautifully crafted with fine detail on her robes and blindfold. They come with mini stands, which is a plus.
Pros: Cute reinterpretation, good paint quality, comes with stands. Cons: Very small (~6cm), so not ideal for everyone. US Price Comparison: You’d easily pay $15+ each in boutique anime shops. I paid $18 for the whole set. Verdict: Surprisingly charming. Great for anyone who enjoys anime-style collectibles.

Yes, this is another Artorias, but I couldn’t resist—it had a different sculpt and battle-worn paint. At 15cm, it’s slightly taller than others, with a dynamic combat-ready stance.
What stood out was the weathered paint job. The deep blues and worn-out armor scratches give it real personality. The sword is long and slightly flexible, so no risk of breakage.
US $5.57

Pros: Weathered details, sturdy design, accurate build. Cons: Slight bend in the cape from packaging, needed to straighten it with heat. US Price Comparison: Similar figures cost $70+ stateside. This one was $21. Verdict: If you’re an Artorias fan, this one’s a must-have. High-end look for a fraction of the price.
Another two-pack that grabbed my attention: the Onion Knight in all his round glory and the mysterious Fire Keeper. I like that these figures balance the tone—one’s lighthearted, the other is somber and mystical.

Both figures came individually wrapped. Paint lines were mostly clean, and the small accessories (like the Fire Keeper’s hand gesture and cloak folds) were well done.
Pros: Good size ratio (8–10cm), complementary aesthetic, decent detail. Cons: Lacking articulation, but not expected at this price. US Price Comparison: Similar sets are rare, but you’d probably pay double on eBay. Verdict: Well worth it. Solid additions for any fan of NPC lore.

This was the biggest figure in my haul—19cm tall and includes multiple characters from the Lordran pantheon. It’s essentially a centerpiece item.
The bulk, sculpting, and paint made this feel like a premium statue. It’s heavy, with a weighted base. The sword and armor shine under light, and the pose feels pulled right from in-game action.
US $12.67
Pros: Tall, high-impact presence, great material. Cons: Some assembly required, minor fitting issues. US Price Comparison: You’d expect $100+ for this in a collector shop. I got it for $28. Verdict: Easily one of the best deals of the bunch.
Final Verdict: Honestly, I didn’t expect this level of quality across the board. I was prepared for compromises, but most of these exceeded expectations. For a fraction of US prices, I now have a complete and diverse Dark Souls figure collection—from serious statues to fun chibis. Would I recommend these? Absolutely. Would I buy more? Already building my next wishlist. AliExpress came through big time on this one.
