Charizard Amiibo - Japan Import (Super Smash Bros Series)

Shes beautiful and cuts a striking figure. There is a lot of detail involved although I did find it kind of funny how large the feet are. I had to get her to add to my husbands Metroid collection. I took one star off because I bought this online not knowing she is available in stores locally for a much lower price. So maybe shop around at your local game store or grocery big box store before buying online and being taken advantage of with the price gouging. I did get the import version and from what Ive seen in stores locally the regular one looks exactly the same.

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.

I bought this figure online because I figure it will be impossible to get when it releases in the U.S. Even though it would retail at $12.99, I thought around $30 isnt THAT unreasonable for an imported product, and I know these will skyrocket in price once the U.S shipments are gone. The figure itself is very nice, better than I thought it would be actually. Zero Suit Samus is one of my favorite characters so I had to have this amiibo even if it did come at a higher price than usual. If you dont mind paying more for this figure, then I would suggest doing it as soon as possible, because especially with fan favorite characters, the price only goes up from here.

The item is most definitely a Ness amiibo, but its not new as they claim to be. With close observation to the packaging, I can see that it was resealed just like the other reviewer said. The edge where the plastic meets the box is little bit crinklier than my other amiibos that I bought in stores. The amiibo itself seems alright, but its still disappointing that they advertise it as new when its not. I also collect amiibos for the sake of collecting them and not to use them so in this aspect its not really satisfying. If you plan on opening/using the amiibo though, its perfectly fine.

Awesome looking figure. Can be used in the various Fire Emblem games for 3DS, as well as Super Smash Bros for 3Ds and Wii U to create an opponent that you can fight and levels up. The amiibo can also be used in the 3DS game Code Name: Steam which allows Marth to enter the level you are playing on in place of another character. Will also likely be used in the upcoming Fire Emblem Warriors for Nintendo Switch.

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

Got it for a Christmas gift. Son took it out of package and it doesnt work. It wont scan. VERY disappointing. UPDATE: was able to get replacement and it works fine. Moved from 1 star to 5 stars.

Significantly lower priced than the North American version, but has the same functionality and looks exactly the same. Unless you are a collector looking specifically for a first edition or NA version, this should do nicely. Works with my Wii U and Switch and looks great alongside all my other Zelda amiibo. Hes currently training to be a kickass Smash fighter. I love him.

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.

As someone who loves Super Smash and playing as playing as Kirby I really wanted to find one of these amiibos, but unfortunately I waited far too long to buy one and couldnt find any Kirby amiibos. Then I noticed that there was the Japan import amiibos and learned that they were not region specific and that I could get one for roughly a normal amiibo price. I wanted to get the amiibo for use and not so much for collecting so I was happy to find out this could work, but was a little anxious to see if this would really work. Immediately after receiving my order I gave this a test and was extremely happy to see that it worked perfectly. When comparing this to a friends USA bought Kirby amiibo, there are no differences between the models. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is just looking for the character/amiibo to use. If you are collecting amiibos and want to have a US collection, this one was in Japanese (it is a Japan Import) and may not be what you are looking for.
