Charizard Amiibo - Japan Import (Super Smash Bros Series)

Although Nintendo has been actively been listening to fans by producing more amiibo [which was one reason why scalpers reduced their prices], yet again, they underestimate the popularity of all of their IP in Americas, including the ones more popular in Japan/Europe by still not producing enough amiibo. And thats why this review is getting 4 stars instead of 5. tl;Dr Great product, beautifully designed and high quality, but more expensive than it should be because of limited quantities and scalpers.

Love this neat little figure! The thing itself is in great detail and well made, nets some cool stuff in botw and other titles. The seller takes great care of the product, arrived wrapped carefully in bubble wrap and air bags and tape with the label on the outside of the wrap so no chance of tape residue. I have ordered a lot recently and half of them come screwed up, or were abused before sending labeling new Thank you for the care you showed. I would recommend it and this seller.

I thought this was a rather nice Amibo, A good quality figure like most of nintendos line. I am not sure if this is just a problem with me or with all of them but the right arm (the shield arm) seemed a bit loose. It feels like it could easily break off. As for the games it compatible with, the super mario maker sprite it unlocks is a bit nice, and I thought the Yarn yoshi skin was a bit cute. Though at the time of writing that about all for unique unlockibles , for most however it just kind of unlocks extra in game currency or something to that effect.

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.)

Package was on time, came in good condition. Overall nothing wrong with the packaging itself... however Im rating this a 4 because its not what was advertised here. I was expecting the actual Super Smash Bros Kirby Amiibo as advertised. But still a great amiibo. It works with the new Kirby game and smssh bros. But this is not the correct product though. This neads to be listed as Kirby on Warp Star.

The amiibo itself was in great condition. Paint is spot on, it is very well made. My only issue was that the box came in really rough condition, with the top half featuring the character art folded in half. Not a big deal if you plan to unbox your amiibo, but if you display them like we do, its a bit frustrating. A little bit of care, and it fit right in with the rest!

The packaging was worn and beat up. It appeared to me that this was in storage for some time and not taken care of. Thankfully, Im no box collector. The figure itself was excellent with the notable bendy sword being the only flaw.

The item was exactly what I was expecting, Zero Suit Samus Amiibo (Japanese version). There are slight differences in the coloration between the NA & JPN versions, nothing too dramatic, and barely noticeable, but the JPN Amiibo also feel like theyre made differently, slightly better build. In the end, theyre Amiibo, and all are region-free, so you can use your JPN Amiibo in NA nintendo systems. My only *concern* is the way amazon ships these. Im not a collector, I opened up my Amiibo packaging so I can display the actual Amiibo. But amazon bent the top part of the cardboard, where the peg hook hole is located, to make the item fit in the box. If I was a collector, I would be upset. This is in no way a reflection on the seller, just the way Amazon shipped my package. Do they do this every time? I dont know, but it was my experience. Sorry I couldnt upload pictures, but the Amazon app kept crashing whenever I tried to do so.

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!
