A Look at Annalee’s Most-Loved Designs of 2026
If there’s one thing we’ve learned this year, it’s this: When an Annalee design captures collectors’ hearts, it doesn’t stay around for long.
Our Design Team has been hard at work creating a year filled with whimsical new friends—from stunning Annalee Exclusives you won’t find anywhere else to unique Core Collection designs destined to become treasured keepsakes. Seeing your excitement for these creations has been one of the highlights of our year, but it has also reminded us of something every collector knows: sometimes waiting means missing out.
A Year of Incredible Sell-Outs
This year has already been full of exciting milestones.
Every Annalee Exclusive released in July (and many in other months too) completely sold out, and three Early Season designs have already retired after finding homes with collectors across the country.
