> 24 hourIve 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.

> 24 hourI 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.

> 24 hourI have been looking for the Rosalina and Luma amiibo for quite a while, and with no surprise considering the shortage/scalping. Thankfully, I finally got the famous duo for a reasonable price and in perfect condition! I was a huge fan of the Super Mario Galaxy series/her inclusion in Super Mario 3D World, and I loved Rosalinas small characterization and backstory along with the adorable little Lumas! Then, Super Smash Bros. introduced them as a unique and fun pair, and the Amiibo sprouted with compatibility spread across a good selection of games. Kudos to the seller, as well. Great shipping time, a protected/perfect product, and wonderful customer service!

> 24 hourThe images on the internet do not do this wonderfully made Palutena Amiibo justice. I was pleasantly surprised by the detail of the clothing and weaponry. I would of preferred that it had Palutenas white wings be out like Pits, but the blue wings arent that bad, and do well to symbolize Palutenas holiness. It is quite tall, even surpassing Rosalina. The parts seem very delicate, unlike other more durable Amiibos such as Rosalina and Little Mac. A gentle bump makes the delicate parts (especially the arms) move pretty easily. The craftsmanship (though the detail is #1 in my book) best compares to Zeldas. Handle with care. My main complaint is that the right thigh bulges outwards at the middle point of that leg. I dont know if that is a defect or what, but I can see the center (most likely an assembly division) line of the leg in that area. I still like this Palutena Amiibo though. My only regret is that I had to pay twice its actual value. This is probably going to be the last Amiibo that I purchase. I love Amiibos, because they bring out my inner childhood memories of my favorite characters from Nintendo, but they are just too darn hard to obtain. TL DR: All Palutena fans- I dont think you would be sorry if you bought this Amiibo, even if you just sat it on your desk or dresser. ;D

> 24 hourRecently I had ordered the whole Kid Icarus amiibos. I had then read about the reviews on how their amiibos came out bad, figure and box, but by the time I read those reviews, I got scared and I couldnt cancel my order. Luckily, I found that my worrying was all for naught. My amiibos came in nicely, the box only bended but Im not a collector. They were absolutely gorgeous when I opened them all, with the exception of minor paint failure. The price for these however were a bit high, but Im too lazy to actually hunt, so I ordered and I do not regret it. The only thing making me stop from giving it another star was the minor paint flaws and the bended package. Couldnt they be a little more gentle? I now have to go train up my Palutena, Dark Pit, and Pit!

> 24 hourThe 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.

> 24 hourVery high quality figure. Was one of the last ones that I didnt own so I went ahead and imported it because the price wasnt too far above retail price. Dont listen to the one star reviews. Not only do they not understand how to use the Amazon review system, but its going to be a while before more are coming out. Retail price is $13, make the decision yourself whether $18 (I believe is what its at now) from a re-seller is a good price.

> 24 hourI 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!
