Kirby Amiibo - Japan Import (Super Smash Bros Series)

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.

This particular figurine is one of the rarest ones in the Super Smash Bros. line-up. Am I glad to have one now. It did take 30 days to arrive as advertised and I was worried something might happen. But I got it on time. I think the $19 I spent on this was worth the wait. I suggest yall stop buying from folks who charge three or four times the MSRP.

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.

Yes, there is not much to say to an Amibo. It does its job. But my husband had a blast using this on the wii U training his favorite character on Smash Brothers. It seemed to have excited him a lot. Packaging is in Japanese so he made me (I am Japanese) translate everything on it. But there is nothing important on there that you need to be able to understand. Thank you Amazon for allowing my husband to order Ness Amibo from Japan. He was fussing for a while that he missed the chance to get it when it was sold in U.S.

It was exactly what I wanted

I got Rosetta/Roselina for a friends birthday. Shes a huge fan of Roselina, and shes been searching for this one for ages. I understand the whole controversy with Amiibo scalpers and re-sellers, but my review is only for the item sold. And I couldnt be happier with this. Especially when searching for the English release of Roselina, I could be expected to pay at least twice the amount I paid for her here... (as you might know, these are not region-locked so while they come from Japan, theyre just as compatible with the English games, should you desire, the only difference is the writing on the box is in Japanese). The box is in great condition, especially for an import item, and I cant really see any scuffs on it as well. While Im not taking her out of the box, as this is a gift, I cant notice anything wrong with the figure itself. No bending in her wand (which honestly I was a little worried about seeing some other reviewed on figures with delicate-looking pieces like wands/swords). Shes in great shape. The details on the figurine are really nice. I like the extra touches, like the metallic surfaces on her wand/crown are actually in metallic paint that has some shine to it, rather than just yellow/grey to represent gold/silver. Little touches like that make this look like a much higher quality model. Im really impressed with the details on her face, namely her showing eye (since the other is covered by her bangs). Theres even a little gradient in the blues on her pupil, which is really impressive for a figure thats only a few inches high! The only real nitpick I can find is that I wish they showed that same attention to detail on her fingernails (painted purple). Its a little inconsistent in the size of the dots, some are larger than others. But I cant complain too much on that, its just a small detail I noticed. Im also super pleased with how fast the shipping was on this! Thanks a lot for an easy transaction. And thanks for helping me find the perfect gift for a friend!

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.

It worked great I got it for my brother and he loved it

Bought two. It beat my friend who mains her really bad. And bought him one. Its nice. For some reason they down air a lot.

I purchased this as a collectors item, not for functional purposes. Its a very cute little piece and the paint is neat. It came in a lot faster than I expected (estimated: 2-3 weeks, received within 5 days) and the processing sticker that are sometimes on Amazon products came off very neatly with one pull; no residue or tearing. Yes, the packaging is in Japanese if anyone is concerned about that. I know some people are concerned with the pricing. Shes limited edition, selling at a higher price because of that is normal. Normally, LEs go waaay up once theyre no longer manufactured. So, you could either pay $35 now or wait in the hopes that more are made and you can find one cheaper. But you run the risk of that -not- happening and having to shell out $50+ UPDATE: As predicted, the price for this Amiibo went up to $50 less than 2 months after my review, and remained that price for 2-3 months. Nintendo later announced they would continue manufacturing Amiibos, which means there are enough for everyone. The price has dropped down to $25 because of this.
