Choosing between anime figures & statues often comes down to two different shelf goals: a themed character presentation tied to a specific costume, or a compact collectible focused on a familiar series character. Banpresto's Marin Kitagawa figure and the Death Note Misa Amane figure take those two approaches, so the better choice depends on your collection rather than a one-size-fits-all ranking.
Quick verdict
Choose the Banpresto Glitter & Glamours Marin Kitagawa Halloween Ver. if the My Dress-Up Darling connection, Halloween styling, and winking character presentation are the main draw. Choose the Death Note Misa Amane figure if Misa's character, the stated 10cm format, and a lower listed price matter more. The first is the more specifically themed release; the second is the simpler route to a Misa-focused display.

Where each product wins
Where Banpresto wins
Its strongest case is the named Glitter & Glamours Marin Kitagawa Halloween Ver. presentation, paired with a clearly identified series and costume concept. That gives the figure a defined visual identity for shoppers building around My Dress-Up Darling or looking for a Halloween-themed character piece. The PVC and ABS material and boxed format add concrete specification details for a display purchase. This is the more suitable choice when the product title's special-version wording is what makes a figure appealing.
Where Death Note wins
The Misa figure makes its case through its stated 10cm height and seated display pose. The description adds a black outfit, fishnet stockings, and Death Note in hand, giving shoppers several specific visual cues before choosing. It also carries the lower listed price in this matchup, making it the direct pick for someone prioritizing a smaller format or a lower spend over a themed costume release.
Product notes
Banpresto Marin Kitagawa Halloween Figure
This Banpresto figure is aimed at a shopper who wants a clearly themed shelf piece. The description identifies a pre-painted figure with a playful winking pose, while the title calls out the Glitter & Glamours line and Halloween version. Those details make it a focused choice for a Marin or My Dress-Up Darling display rather than a broadly styled anime collectible. Its limitation is collection fit: because the release is tied to My Dress-Up Darling and a Halloween version, it is not the series match for a shelf centered on Death Note. Choose Marin when the named costume release and character presentation matter; choose Misa when Death Note alignment or the lower listed price is the deciding factor.
Death Note Misa Amane 10cm Figure
The Misa Amane figure earns its place through character-specific styling. Its description names a black outfit, fishnet stockings, and Death Note in hand, giving the seated presentation a recognizable gothic-inspired look. The retail box is another straightforward detail for shoppers planning a shelf or desk display. Its limitation is its series-specific brief: it cannot provide the My Dress-Up Darling Halloween presentation represented by Marin. Choose Misa for the character details, Death Note focus, or lower listed price; turn to Marin when the themed Halloween release is the priority.
Final choice by use case
- For a My Dress-Up Darling or Halloween-focused shelf: choose the Banpresto Marin Kitagawa Halloween figure at USD 33.99.
- For a Death Note collection or Misa-specific display: choose the Death Note Misa Amane figure at USD 19.99.
- When price is the tiebreaker: Misa is $14.00 lower. When the deciding factor is the licensed themed release and its special-version presentation, Marin is the more direct match.
