Kirby Amiibo - Japan Import (Super Smash Bros Series)

This review is for toon link specifically, besides all this shady scalping that is happening everywhere and we have to live with it , we are in essence buying a cheap toy. First off this figure works for many games Hyrule warriors, breath of the wild, and super smash bros, That is quite a lot of games! so you are gonna have to open it collectors! (yay?) The figure looks very good which surprised me (hence the three stars). but if you notice his animation is in the jumping pose and is being hold by some transparent thing, this thing breaks very easily, so dont play with it with your kids....

A bit pricy but it’s small in comparison to the happiness I get when I see him. Also very study but light.

Ill be honest... Marth was never really one of my favorite fighters in Smash. Sure he is pretty agile and has a decent counter, but I always thought his moves were a bit dull. Especially after releasing the DLC of Roy, Roy is my top choice as a Fire Emblem Smash fighter, considering his moves are a combination between Marth and Ike. Anyways, I purposely got Marth for Fire Emblem Fates. You can challenge Marth to a battle in your castle, and after a third time, he can even join your crew! I plan on getting Ike next, and Roy when he gets released. These Amiibos give an edge to any game they are compatible with, and I certainly plan to collect more!

I have been looking for the Rosalina and Luma amiibo for quite a while, and with no surprise considering the shortage/scalping. Thankfully, I finally got the famous duo for a reasonable price and in perfect condition! I was a huge fan of the Super Mario Galaxy series/her inclusion in Super Mario 3D World, and I loved Rosalinas small characterization and backstory along with the adorable little Lumas! Then, Super Smash Bros. introduced them as a unique and fun pair, and the Amiibo sprouted with compatibility spread across a good selection of games. Kudos to the seller, as well. Great shipping time, a protected/perfect product, and wonderful customer service!

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!

Fact: 1:Overpriced, but that is nintendos fault for being plain stupid. 2:The japanese amiibo DOES work with the american Wii U. 3:Her neck is a little fragile Nintendo could have done better. 4.Beautiful just perfectly, wonderfully, detailed.(No let down there.) My opinion: I am satisfied with most of it but I am a BIG fan of her. Nintendo could have done better but in their defence, they were making her while the sales of the amiibos (Wave 1 and 2.) were still coming in.They could have made a poll asking fans who THEY want to know which ones to remake. Even then nintendo is a game maker NOT a toy manufacture-er so it does get difficult for them, but I am still agravated at them.

This is a very nice figure of a character that I like a lot.

Great looking amiibo. It came in the mail well before I expected it to. Not really the way to go if youre a collector since the box is kinda beat up. However, its a cool plus just because its from Japan and thats always cool. Customer service was also really great with a good deal and a nice note in it as well. Detail is amazing on the figure. Arrived without any defects or anything. Got it for my friend for his birthday and Im sure he will love it.

My son loves hes amiibos. Instantly fast shipping. These Japanese imports are identical in every way.

Love it nothing bad to say came in good condition.
