Charizard Amiibo - Japan Import (Super Smash Bros Series)

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.

SO AWESOME! From the moment I opened it, Samus was flipping around and shooting missiles all over the house! My cats had no idea how to react. She destroyed half my furniture and even put a hole in my favorite shirt...then the drugs wore off and I realized it was just a plastic amiibo! Works great!

A great figure of the WarioWare design of Wario, the first time a figure of that particular design has been done (before that they were all the more traditional Overalls Wario). The figure is fun to train in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS & Wii U and has nice unlockables in other games, such as unlocking a Wario costume in Super Mario Maker and Yoshis Woolly World while also being able to unlock a racing suit for Miis in Mario Kart 8 and can also be used as a game piece in Mario Party 10. There will be many more uses for the Wario amiibo in the future, Im sure, so this figure was well worth the money.

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.

Really nicely packaged the packaging was in good condition and no signs of any damage.

Well built amiibo. My boys were thrilled. Shipping is always fast.

The product quality is good. The packaging game in good shape (it is in Japanese for any collectors that may have an issue with that). The plastic is well-molded and doesnt look cheap. However, with the more detailed/complex amiibo I have seen lesser quality. The other major plus to this product was that I was able to receive it for a reasonable (non-scalper) price. Be patient and wait for it to get into a reasonable price. Dont support scalpers by paying $20+ for a product that retails for $12. If you do, youre the reason why these things sell out the second any come out.

Marth arrived quickly and looks great. I dont know much about amiibos, but I bought this as a gift for a friend and he loved it. The packaging is in Japanese but that doesnt really matter because the toy still works on the American version of the game. Apparently it is difficult to find some characters in the USA, so this is a good alternative. The toy itself looked nice and came packaged well. Overall, it was excellent, especially considering the low price.

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.

Even though this amiibo took the long to arrive, it also didnt take any damaged to the box itself. Which I cant say the same for the other two that I ordered with the boxes being a rather dented from most likely air pressure or something on one side.
