Official Warrior Cats Toys Are Finally Here: The Complete Series 1 Guide & Collector Checklist (2026)

Who makes the official Warrior Cats toys?

Bonkers Toys holds the license. They are the studio behind several of the collectible lines that have done well with the 8-and-up crowd, and the Warrior Cats line is their partnership with the Erin Hunter franchise — which means the character designs, pelt colors and markings are drawn from the books rather than invented for the toy.

That matters more here than in most licensed lines. Warriors readers are detail people. They know Yellowfang is a dark grey she-cat with a broad flattened face, and they will notice if a toy gets it wrong. Series 1 largely gets it right, which is a good part of why the first wave sold through as fast as it did.

Warrior Cats Series 1: the two formats

Mini Mystery Plush (6-inch)

The plush side of the line. Each blind box contains one 6-inch plush cat, sealed so you do not know which character is inside until you open it. The plush have embroidered facial detail rather than printed faces, which is the difference between a toy that reads as a character and one that reads as a generic cat.

These are the entry point most people start with, and the format that works for a wider age range — a 6-year-old who has never read the books will still want the soft cat, while the 12-year-old wants Firestar specifically.

Mystery Figures (2.5-inch)

The collector side. Each blind box holds one 2.5-inch collectible figure, again sealed and random. Figures display better, cost less per pull, and are far easier to build a complete set of — which is the point of the Build Your Clan concept the line is designed around.

If someone in your house is the type to line things up on a shelf in a specific order, the figures are the format for them.

The complete Series 1 character checklist

Here is what you are actually hunting. Note that the plush roster and the figure roster are not identical — a handful of characters appear in one format only, which is a detail a lot of buyers miss.

Series 1 Mini Mystery Plush — 8 to collect

Firestar · Graystripe · Brambleclaw · Brightheart · Scourge · Yellowfang · Tallstar · Hawkfrost

Series 1 Mystery Figures — 8 to collect

Firestar · Graystripe · Brightheart · Spottedleaf · Silverstream · Cinderpelt · Yellowfang · Scourge

Five characters overlap between the formats — Firestar, Graystripe, Brightheart, Yellowfang and Scourge. The plush-only cats are Brambleclaw, Tallstar and Hawkfrost. The figure-only cats are Spottedleaf, Silverstream and Cinderpelt. That works out to eleven distinct cats across Series 1. If you are trying to own every Series 1 character in some form, you need both formats; there is no single box that covers all eleven.

A quick who's-who for parents buying this blind

If you are shopping for a Warriors reader and the names above mean nothing to you, this section is for you.

Firestar is the protagonist of the original arc — a ginger tom who starts as a housecat named Rusty and becomes leader of ThunderClan. He is the single most requested character in the line, and the one most likely to make a kid actually shriek.

Graystripe is his best friend, a long-haired grey tom, and effectively the co-lead of the early books. Yellowfang is the gruff former ShadowClan medicine cat who becomes one of the most beloved figures in the series. Scourge is the antagonist of The Darkest Hour — a small black cat with a white paw and a reputation far larger than his size — and among older readers he is often the most wanted figure of the wave.

Brightheart, Spottedleaf, Silverstream and Cinderpelt are the emotional heavy hitters of the early arcs. Brambleclaw, Tallstar and Hawkfrost round out the plush wave with characters from the later part of the first series and the beginning of The New Prophecy.

How the blind box format works (and how to not end up with four Graystripes)

Every box in this line is sealed. You cannot choose your character, you cannot feel the box and tell, and there is no code on the packaging that gives it away. That is the format working as designed — the reveal is the product.

The practical consequence is duplicates. Buying eight single boxes does not get you eight different cats; probability does not work that way. If your goal is a complete set rather than a fun afternoon, multi-packs are meaningfully better odds because the packing is not fully independent within a case.

Two things worth knowing:

Duplicates are currency. If your kid has friends collecting the same line, doubles become trade stock. That is a feature, not a waste — and it is how most of the fandom actually completes a set.

First-wave characters get scarce. Once a new series takes shelf space, Series 1 boxes stop being restocked at the same rate. The characters most likely to become hard to find later are the ones from the wave that is on shelves right now.

Which Warrior Cats blind box should you buy?

A short decision guide.

Buying a gift and you are not sure they are into it yet? A single Mystery Figure blind box. It is the lowest-commitment way to find out, and the reveal is the fun part regardless.

Buying for a confirmed Warriors reader? The Mini Mystery Plush. Readers want the character they have an emotional attachment to, and the plush is the version they will keep on the bed rather than the shelf.

Building a set on purpose? The 8-Pack Build Your Clan Box. Eight figures in one purchase gives you the strongest realistic shot at the full 8-character figure roster in a single session.

Birthday party, class prize jar, or multiple kids? The 3-Pack plush bundle or the 5-Pack figure bundle. Enough reveals to go around without a per-box premium.

Frequently asked questions

Are these official Warrior Cats toys?
Yes. The line is made by Bonkers Toys under license from the Erin Hunter / Warriors franchise. Increditoyz carries officially licensed product only.

How many Warrior Cats are in Series 1?
Eight in the Mini Mystery Plush wave and eight in the Mystery Figures wave, with five characters appearing in both — eleven distinct cats across the full Series 1 line.

Can I pick which cat I get?
No. Every box is a sealed blind box and the character inside is random. That is the format, and it is why multi-packs are the popular choice — more boxes means fewer duplicates.

What age are Warrior Cats blind boxes for?
Bonkers rates the line 3+. In practice the collectors driving it are usually 8 and up, since it is tied to the Warriors novels — but the plush work fine as a soft toy for younger siblings.

How big are they?
The Mini Mystery Plush are 6 inches. The Mystery Figures are about 2.5 inches.

What is the Build Your Clan Box?
It is the 8-pack of Mystery Figures — eight sealed blind boxes in one purchase, named for the clan-building idea at the center of the line. It is the most efficient path to a complete figure set.

Is Series 1 going to be discontinued?
Bonkers has not announced a retirement date, but first-wave blind boxes historically get scarcer once a new series takes shelf space. Series 2 has been announced, which is the usual signal to secure the Series 1 characters you actually want.

Bottom line

Series 1 is the foundation of the whole line, and it is the wave that has the original-arc cast readers care most about — Firestar, Graystripe, Yellowfang, Scourge. Eleven characters, two formats, all blind. Start with a single box if you are testing the water, or go straight to the Build Your Clan 8-Pack if the goal is a finished shelf.
