Kirby Amiibo - Japan Import (Super Smash Bros Series)

Hes standing tall and proud with all his other sword guy friends up there (mostly Links but eh...) Reads with zero issue in all my games. Had no remorse pulling him from the box cause the corners and stuff were a little bent up anyway. Had to straighten out his sword a bit but what else can you expect from a thin piece of flexible plastic. Im completely happy with this purchase.

I bought this amiibo for my husband to use with our original Switch. He uses it in Super Smash Bros primarily. It works perfectly and he keeps it on his desk as an adorable decoration when not playing.

Ive been collecting Zeldas amiibos. It has taken me quite a lot of time to find them all. The quality of these items is pretty good because they dont feel cheap to the touch. The NFC function works pretty well so far just as it was meant to work. The amiibos might be overpriced becuase they are scarce, but they are worth the trouble if you are a collector. Overall the amiibo is well made, NFC work, and it is detailed in every part of the character.

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

I trained her and she became power hungry, and she beat the crap out of me. Only because I dont main ZSS, but when I switched to my main she got destroyed... until I powered her up with spirits. If you want a ZSS Amiibo and cant find a cheaper one anywhere else this is the place to get one, for sure.

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

Ness was probably the hardest of Wave 4 to snag. Not only is he store exclusive to Gamestop, hes also both a fan-favorite and one of the more obscure characters. Remember April 2nd? The day Gamestops servers crashed? Ness was the main reason of this. Ness broke Gamestop. Thankfully I bought him before the hunt for $30. I think he goes for $40 or even $50 now. For the figure, Ness is one of the best Ive seen yet. He almost looks identical to the artwork if you look at him at a certain angle. His expression and pose are great, though his black soulless eyes are a bit creepy. His backpack also looks great. I never really got a good look at it since I dont really look at the character models or trophies much. Ness is one of the few amiibo that really do look like a Smash trophy brought into the real world. As this is probably the most recent Earthbound memorabilia Nintendo has released, this is a most have for Earthbound/Mother fans. Aside from the Japanese Mother 2 figure, this is Nesss only figure. Hes probably the one of the rarest yet (Not Holy Trinity rare, but I think hes close). Ness, like Rosalina, kinda grew on me this Smash. In fact, I want to main these guys along with Shulk, Robin, Jigglypuff, and Mewtwo. On an unrelated note, I want to main Lucas when he releases as well. If youre an Earthbound/Mother fan, collector, or just like Ness, this amiibo will be one of the crown jewels in your collection.

Bought this to go with my new pokemon trainer amiibo! Wish i would have bought it early on so i would have paid 15 instead of almost 30 bucks but oh well still worth it. Still love it tho. Very accurate and well made

At first I thought it was gonna be bad i was wrong the quality is so good on the amibo its one of my personal favorites actually

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!
