Kirby Amiibo - Japan Import (Super Smash Bros Series)

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.

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.

I love it

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.

I only buy the amiibo of the characters I personally like. Samus is one of them and it’s a great amiibo just very small in size compared to the splatoon amiibos I got. But still love it none the less

The Rosalina and Luma Amiibo was, in the United States, a Target exclusive item. Meaning nowhere else stocked it. Nintendo does that with each wave it seems. Target wasnt very good about restocking, so lots of people missed out. This is, as Im sure youre trying to figure out, your second chance. Nintendo did NOT region lock the Amiibo toys, so unlike most games and accessories you can use this Japanese import on your American WiiU. I assure you, it will work. The only difference between this and the American version is the language on the box. The system doesnt even register it in Japanese, so its fine to get. I know thats a concern when deciding to buy something lkke this for someone else and you dont really know and dont want to screw up.

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.)

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

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.
