Mewtwo Amiibo (Super Smash Bros Series)

Fast shipping satisfied

Arrived in perfect condition. Love her design.

products works good, fast shipping, no problems

I dont agree with the spotty distribution of these little things, but i love them as figures that have extra use in games. The second wave seems to have better distribution and the figure quality seems a bit better as well, no Marps or Voolagers that Ive seen anyway. Luigi is a real stand-out and he seems to be readily available. His pose is ridiculous, just as his statue is in Smash. Theres an odd lack of quality Nintendo figures for a lot of Nintendo properties and characters and save the occasional derpy Amiibo, these *usually* fill that niche well.

This amiibo is by far the best looking one so far. If you are able to order one dont hesitate you wont be disappointed.

Even upon picking the USA edition, I received the Japanese version. They work the same, but that is not the point. It was a tricky ad, and keeping it in the box among my collection of USA Amiibos is not possible as a collector. However, it is identical in every other way to the USA and Europe versions. If you plan to buy this, tear open the box and play with it, then by ll means, buy it here, because it functions identically to the other versions. Excellent Nintendo craftmanship(3 stars for that). the box top was also crushed, so even if it were in English, the packaging would be unacceptable. All in All - worth it if you plan to play with it, not worth it if youre collecting USA/Europe versions. 1 star for Amazon service on this one.

I maxed out this amiibo when I got it in the mail

The first wave of Amiibo figures from Nintendo is here. While Nintendo has been in the business of licensing their most popular characters for toy adaptations for decades, Amiibo is a new foray into the toy business. Amiibo is essentially the answer to the question posed several years ago when Skylanders debuted: Why hasnt Nintendo done this yet? In 2014, Nintendo has begun releasing its variant on the NFC-powered figures, and the results are somewhat mixed. First, the good. These are excellent figures for the price. This review specifically pertains to the Link figure. As a collector, I have a number of Link figures, stretching back to the trophy figures of the 1980s (which bore minimal resemblance to Link). Most recently, I acquired the Japanese import UDF [Ultra Detailed Figures] line, which included some extremely detailed Link figures of three iterations of the character. This is the Smash Bros. iteration of Link. It is functionally an amalgam of a few designs, most closely falling between an HD Adult Link from Ocarina of Time with a little Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess thrown in. Link looks excellent. His shield is extremely detailed even upon close inspection. The same applies to the Master Sword in his left hand and the scabbard on his back. Speaking from the perspective of a Zelda fan and a collector of Link figures, this one is on the higher end in terms of detail and quality for the size of the figure. Of course, Amiibos have no articulation as they are essentially the trophies players earn in Smash Bros. brought to life. If you want an articulated Link figure, there are two options currently on the market that are more suitable to your interests (and one of them is in fact cheaper in brick and mortar stores than the Amiibo). This is a display piece that looks stylistically consistent with the other figures in the Amiibo line and looks great on a shelf. As a figure, taking into consideration the fact that it is specifically not designed to include points or articulation, I give it 5/5. This is a very good Link figure and it looks quite nice on a shelf. Now I would like to address the NFC functionality of this figure. In fairness, I will gladly update my review if these problems are corrected down the road. There are three games as of this date that utilize the Link figures NFC integration. Hyrule Warriors and Mario Kart 8 each give an extra item in the game without any substantive content. Smash Bros. is very different. You train your figure sort of like training an in-game Pokemon in that series. However, it is a tremendous missed opportunity. As a player, you can never actually play as your highly trained Link (or Mario or whoever else you purchased). Playing as your particular figure rather than relegating it to the CPU would be a huge bonus and add pseudo-RPG elements to the game, which would positively impact Smash Bros. I grant that Smash Bros. has ample amounts of content and frankly does not need Amiibo integration in the first place, but if its there, it could be better than it is at present. Amiibos represent a lot for Nintendo. For long-term fans, they are great figures. Some of them, such as characters from Fire Emblem, have never had any type of toy or collectible figure widely available in the market. Accordingly, fans of Nintendos vast library of IPs will get the benefit of having otherwise obscure characters made into collectible little figures. The level of detail on these things is amazing, and as collectibles, I strongly recommend them. However, Amiibo as a use of the much-touted NFC technology integrated into the Wii U gamepad misses the mark a bit. There are some fairly obvious better ways to utilize these figures in the virtual worlds to which they connect, and hopefully they will be better integrated in the future. As it stands, collectors should be on the lookout for these figures. They are a worthwhile purchase, and while they do not have the relative obscurity of other Nintendo-themed collectibles, they also come at a reasonably fair price ($12.99 or less) per figure. Theyre fun little additions to the games to which they connect as well, but frankly they should not be bought exclusively for that purpose. Their additional functionality wears thin very quickly. As I noted, I will update this review in the future should Smash Bros. receive a patch to let players level up their figure AND play as that character, or should other games better integrate them.

Had to collect all the Zelda amiibos and started out with Link..There is some great detail in the master sword and Hylian shield, and I really like the colors! The only two things Im disappointed in however, is the fact that he leans so far down that you just cant see his face from a normal level, and the fact that they did not make his stand clear like Toon Links..The yellow is really ugly and distracting..Hope they fix it soon!
