Figures, small collectable toys of Moshi Monsters characters, were manufactured by Vivid Imaginations and sold across many global territories, fastly becoming one of Moshi Monsters' notable merchandise items.
Thirteen series of figures have been released in the United Kingdom. Many other figure variations and finishes have been released such as Winter Wonderland themed, glitter, gold, Halloween, super brights and glow in the dark. In addition to this, some figures were exclusive to books and other items of merchandise.
An online countdown, often on 'mom blogs' or the official Moshi Monsters store, was created for each series from series 3 to 11 in order to create hype for the upcoming series. Each day from the release a new Moshling was revealed. For example, as there are sixteen figures in Series 10, the countdown started sixteen days before May 23 (the release date).

Controversy/Inaccuracies[]
- Snozzle Wobbleson was shown on packages of the Series 5 figures, misleading people into thinking he was in it. Along with this, Moshi Monsters' Twitter posted a photo of Snozzle, claiming they found him. When the picture was ripped directly from a Toy Fair video. Vivid later admitted that they accidentally missed out Snozzle Wobbleson from production, to make up for it, they held 'Snozzle Saturday', an event to obtain him as an apology. You can now get Snozzle Wobbleson in Series 5 and Originals packs, along with this, A golden Snozzle Wobbleson is also available.
