Tiny, Chaotic, and Stackable: Reviewing the HSR Amphoreus Saga of Heroes Toys
Warning: Once you start stacking, you can't stop. My productivity has dropped to zero, but my serotonin levels? Through the roof.
We usually review high-end, serious collectibles here—like the Castorice Impression Ring or massive 1/7 scale figures. But sometimes, you just need something silly to put on your desk. Enter the Honkai: Star Rail Amphoreus Saga of Heroes Stacking Toys (Vol. 1). These aren't just figures; they are a challenge.
What exactly are these tiny things?
Think of them as "Desk Companions" with a chaotic twist. They are bite-sized PVC figures, standing roughly 28-35mm tall (about the size of a large grape). The design is based on the "Amphoreus Saga" art style—super deformed (SD), round, and ridiculously cute.
The lineup features 14 characters, likely including favorites like the Trailblazer, March 7th, and Dan Heng, all reimagined in this squishy, stackable format.
The "Wobble Test": Do they actually stack?
Here is the thing about "stacking toys"—usually, they don't stack well. They fall over, roll under your fridge, and disappear into the void (much like my Stellar Jades).
But honestly? These are surprisingly engineered. The tops of their heads and the bottoms of their feet are flattened just enough to create friction. I managed to get a 5-character tower going before physics took over.
- Stability: 7/10. They lock in okay, but don't sneeze.
- Texture: Smooth matte plastic. Feels nice to fidget with during long meetings.
- Cuteness: 11/10. Seeing a tiny Dan Heng balancing on a tiny March 7th is healing.
Gambling vs. "Whaling": Single Box or Full Set?
You have two options here, and I'm going to be real with you.
Option A: Single Blind Box. You buy one packet. It's a surprise. It's fun for about 5 seconds until you realize you wanted Kafka but got a duplicate. (We've all been there).
Option B: The Full Set (14 Pieces). This is the way. As we mentioned in our Blind Box Guide, buying the full box guarantees you get every character with NO duplicates. Plus, if you actually want to build a massive "Tower of Babel" style stack, you need quantity.
Collector's Perspective: Pros & Cons
The Good Stuff
- ✅ The Price: Compared to a $200 figure, these are a guilt-free impulse buy.
- ✅ The "Squad" Feeling: Lining them up on your monitor stand looks incredible. It's like having a tiny audience cheering you on.
- ✅ Giftability: If you buy a full box, you can keep your mains and give the others to friends. Instant brownie points.
The "Eh" Stuff
- ❌ Size: They are really small. If you have a cat, keep these away. They will become cat toys immediately.
- ❌ The Wait: Shipping is expected in February 2026. You are pre-ordering happiness for the future.
I checked the HSR Wiki forums, and players are already planning "stacking competitions." It's going to be a thing.
Final Verdict: Pure Serotonin
Are these high-art collectibles? No. Are they going to make you smile every time you sit down at your desk? Absolutely.
If your desk is looking a little empty, or if you just want to see how high you can stack them before they topple over (a metaphor for life, really), grab a box.
Frequently Asked Questions
How big are the Honkai Star Rail Stacking Toys?They are quite mini! The figures range from approximately 28mm to 35.7mm in height, making them perfect for sitting on monitors, keyboards, or small desk shelves.
Should I buy a single blind box or the full set?If you want to build a high tower, we recommend the Full Set (14 pieces). Single boxes are random, and getting duplicates makes stacking less fun (and less visually diverse).
Do they actually stay stacked?Yes, but gravity is the real boss here. They have flat surfaces designed for stacking, but building a tower requires a bit of patience and a steady hand. It's part of the challenge!
