Charizard amiibo (Super Smash Bros Series)

My 1st Amiibo and not my last, got DK to interact with Mario Kart 8 and just loving it, takes me back to 81 when I 1st played the Arcade game @ my Local Sega Center on its Innagural Release....

My son is a collector of amiibo and was very excited when the package arrived. They can be quite expensive so we will add to his collection as soon as we can.

I dont own a console so I wouldnt know how to rate it for what it was intended, all I can say is that it is very well made and it looks really cool as a decorative item.

The amiibo works flawlessly, and amazon did a fantastic job of shipping it in an absolutely pristine box. The one issue I had with him is that hes got a little bit of green paint around his neck that looks like it came off of his tunic, but a bit of Citadel pale flesh paint fixed him right up. Hes also incredibly durable. After opening the box I accidentally dropped him twice, and his sword is as straight as ever-- hes definitely good for little kids too!

He has a hard time learning but he is a beast and unbeatable at lvl50

Arrived safe and in good condition. No ones fault but Nintendo, but they gave her man hands.

I was able to buy an amiibo at retail price! Its a miracle! Oh and the figure is neat too I guess.

GOOOD

Finally, a Fox McCloud figure! This amiibo is pretty well made with a great paint job. I really dont like the horrible quality of the World of Nintendo figures, and since the only other Fox figure is make by them, Ill just stick with this amiibo.

it leans slightly to the side. had hoped it would be covered in some sort of clear polish/shell, but it seems to just be raw sparkly paint (I worry itll scrap off, but havent tried). but other than that, its a cool looking little thing. I had a horrible experience using it though. put in SmashBros for the first time, started it up, put the amiibo on the gamepad sensor - and a message popped up telling me i needed to set it up first. i looked all over the menu system but couldnt find a place to set it up. i looked through the amiibo packaging and the game manual, but still found no hint at how to set it up. had to go online to discover that back in the WiiU system settings, a software update has buried screen for amiibo setup. Which mostly involves giving it a nick name. sigh. so having set it up, i restarted the game, and put the amiibo on - and was told I need to set it up. rage. Again, no guidance as to what to do. I didnt think to look through all the menus in game, becuase Id already done that. But going back to the internet, i found a video which eventually showed that after you set up amiibo in the system settings, the game introduces a new amiibo menu (buried on some second screen). So, having finally set up the #&^@@ing thing, playing a match with it was underwhelming. wtf? just a horrible user experience. admittedly, I had this idea Amiibos might turn out to be virtual friends on the couch who could leverage the local multiplayer concept that Nintendo is so known for. So you have Samus controlling a split screen, and trashtalking you. Play games with you toys. Thatd be rad. But now that Ive used an Amiibo, it seems pretty clear its just a smashBros gimmick (which would have been better as part of the on-disk software). bleh. So its a horrible let down, but giving that 2nd star because I see that a lot of work went into all this. And they could always wake up and use these toys in more interesting ways in the future.
