Charizard Amiibo - Japan Import (Super Smash Bros Series)

I like how the figure was made. Im going to train Palutena in my game and make her a strong figure fighter (seeing as someone at a tournament did a deadly combo on me I assume she might give me some trouble as her levels increase).

ive been collecting the Smash amiibos since launch and there were a few i was missing but for a while DK was the last 1 i needed to complete my collection and the fact that a new 1 was over $100 i wanted to wait on it, i saw that a used 1 was for sale and decided to take a chance since i was going to take it out of the box anyways and im glad i did because not only did i save roughly $65 but there was nothing wrong with it, it was as if it was taken out of the packaging the amiibo first came in. VERY happy with this purchase and may look into them in the future if i cant find what i need.

Let me tell you, finding this Pit amiibo for under $60 has been an absolute nightmare! My niece has wanted Pit since before Christmas but they were ungodly expensive everywhere we looked. But at long last I was finally able to order her one for a reasonable price! Why they all of a sudden dropped in price I do not know, but Im not going to question it! My package came in the mail very quickly after I placed my order and the box arrived undamaged. While it was a Japanese version I received, my niece actually prefers it that way so it works for me! I cant wait until I can actually give her this Pit amiibo. Im also happy that my months of Internet searching are finally over!

I love my amiibo, hes so handsome! He makes a great assist character in SSB Wii U, and gets me prizes in Hyrule Warriors, Nintendo has on its site what else it is compatible with. I was very happy to finally have a quality figure at an affordable price, even when compared to Figma and score it is game friendly! Amiibo figures are not region locked, so if you need one from the secondary market dont worry about packaging! (I never can get these darn things on pre-order or at the store, so I just get them here for twice the price.)

This was a birthday present for a 12 yr. old. It was a hit. Thank you.

Recently I had ordered the whole Kid Icarus amiibos. I had then read about the reviews on how their amiibos came out bad, figure and box, but by the time I read those reviews, I got scared and I couldnt cancel my order. Luckily, I found that my worrying was all for naught. My amiibos came in nicely, the box only bended but Im not a collector. They were absolutely gorgeous when I opened them all, with the exception of minor paint failure. The price for these however were a bit high, but Im too lazy to actually hunt, so I ordered and I do not regret it. The only thing making me stop from giving it another star was the minor paint flaws and the bended package. Couldnt they be a little more gentle? I now have to go train up my Palutena, Dark Pit, and Pit!

Looks great in the collection but the prices for this one on Amazon are outrageous. Better off shopping elsewhere.

A great figure of the WarioWare design of Wario, the first time a figure of that particular design has been done (before that they were all the more traditional Overalls Wario). The figure is fun to train in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS & Wii U and has nice unlockables in other games, such as unlocking a Wario costume in Super Mario Maker and Yoshis Woolly World while also being able to unlock a racing suit for Miis in Mario Kart 8 and can also be used as a game piece in Mario Party 10. There will be many more uses for the Wario amiibo in the future, Im sure, so this figure was well worth the money.

I recently reviewed the Shulk Amiibo from the Series 2 release. Much of what follows relates to both Amiibo’s in general, though I’ll specify below when I speak of Marth exclusively (or at least make the comparative notes obviously stated). Simply to share, as my bias surely affects my best intentions of a helpful review, I avoided purchasing any Amiibo figures until very shortly after the most present release of Series 4. That shared, due to a New 3DS mishap at a big box retailer, I was given store credit and with it, brought home my first 4 Amiibo (Series 1 Link and Zelda; Series 2 Toon Link and Sheik). After having these 4 Amiibo to experiment with, it was only after I truly made my first two Amiibo purchases (dare I say, invested), Series 2 Shulk and this figure, Series 1 Marth. I could not find the U.S. release of Marth at a price that competed with the Japanese release. After reading another review elsewhere, and realizing it doesn’t matter whether one has the U.S. or Japanese Amiibo release in terms of being able to port into Wii U and New 3DS XL games, I jumped at the opportunity to purchase Marth. My purchase of this Amiibo was wholly due to the excitement I have had in experiencing the gameplay of Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. for the New 3DS. I played the demo and while it was just so-so, still I remained quite expectant of what could be a great game experience due to the reviews I read by those fortunate enough to have more access beforehand. I have not been let down, neither by the game, nor with this particular Amiibo figure. As this is a review of Marth, the Amiibo figure, let me focus there on a number of points I hope will help you, the potential buyer of this out-of-print and increasingly hard to find figurine: As other reviewers before me have stated, comparatively this is a very well sculpted Amiibo figurine, though I must state this Amiibo is not quite at the level of Shulk, the most nicely sculpted Amiibo figure I have yet to own. Overall, Marth’s Amiibo presence is very much that of his game presence in Fire Emblem: a bit hesitant at first, but then comes into his own. Marth’s clothing and wardrobe in general is detailed and nicely painted (between the lines!), and his hair looks (just about) as good as it does in the game (LOL), but in some of the finer details of the figurine, there is a bit of a lack of detail…just enough to not quite be at the quality of Shulk (the high-water mark of Amiibo figures that I’ve seen thus far, admittedly, only about 6 or so). In terms of the actual sculpted figure, as with the other sword-wielding Amiibo I have, Marth’s Falchion divine sword is not perfectly straight, but bows slightly downward. Why is this? I do not know. Perhaps it has something to do with the heating and cooling process of manufacturing? Regardless, the materials (plastics) this Amiibo is cast in allows for the sword to be slightly misshaped. While this doesn’t bother me or affect my enjoyment of the figure, I can see more scrutinizing collectors of toys and figures to be irked by this oversight in the perfecting of manufacturing. Some Amiibo have colored or clear plastic supports extending from the base to the figure itself. Thankfully, Marth stands on his own two feet, so to speak (the base, however, like other Amiibo, has a strikingly similar “X” pattern as seen in contemporary X-Men comics, films, and the like). Rough dimensions for this Marth figure, from base to top of his head, is nearly 4-inches; from widest point to widest point (downward pointed sword tip to extended cape at the opposite side) is 3.5-inches. Regarding gameplay, the Japanese import has ported just as any other Amiibo has on my New 3DS. I would expect the same from others, especially with so many reports consistently claiming this is in fact the case. If it is not clear by now, I’m a collector of things, especially that which relates to Nintendo. Most of us seemingly having missed out on the U.S. release, is it worth it to purchase this Marth Amiibo for 2x-6x the MSRP? I cannot answer that for you, obviously, but having ported Marth into Code Name: S.T.E.A.M., if you decide to make the purchase, I hope your experience is as much fun as mine has been! Happy gaming and happy collecting!

Anybody remember that guy who bought up a ton of Rosalina Amiibos because he didnt like her? Remember how people were charging up to 100 dollars for this little bit of plastic? Well this guy failed, because I finally got my hands on one! Reasonably priced for an import, and arrived earlier than expected with no damage to the figure or package. I love fighting against my Rosalina Amiibo i n Smash bros or simply displaying her on my shelf with the rest of my Amiibo collection! Take that Mariotehplumber!
