Charizard Amiibo - Japan Import (Super Smash Bros Series)

Fact: 1:Overpriced, but that is nintendos fault for being plain stupid. 2:The japanese amiibo DOES work with the american Wii U. 3:Her neck is a little fragile Nintendo could have done better. 4.Beautiful just perfectly, wonderfully, detailed.(No let down there.) My opinion: I am satisfied with most of it but I am a BIG fan of her. Nintendo could have done better but in their defence, they were making her while the sales of the amiibos (Wave 1 and 2.) were still coming in.They could have made a poll asking fans who THEY want to know which ones to remake. Even then nintendo is a game maker NOT a toy manufacture-er so it does get difficult for them, but I am still agravated at them.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I love it

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.

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.

This got to me a day earlier that I was expecting. I was a little concerned since the box that it came in was really crushed on one side. When I opened up the box, there were a couple dents on the bottom plastic parts of the packaging. But the Amiibo itself was totally fine! The paint quality is really good and as a Toon Link main myself in Smash Bros., this is a perfect addition to my collection!

So far so good. Sealed packaging. Bran new. A Japanese import. Still great. I recommend Definitely
