Luigi amiibo (Super Smash Bros Series)

kid loved it, says it works as indicated.

Got the Fox amiibo instead of Sheik, I like Fox as well so I did not mind at all

Yes is a good collection figure.

My son loves it!!

Look Im trying to collect all the amiibos so Im happy that I got the Pit, but if I have to pay more than double on the collectable, please make sure the package is secure and undamaged. When I received this guy a month after I bought it, he was torn slightly, and had pretty noticeable damage and Im trying to have all of them to be as close to as perfect as possible. Wasnt as bad as how I received my Villager.

Given that these figures have at least two purposes, Ill strive to address both of those in this review. First off, as a figure itself- Im actually surprised at just how great Mario looks- hes in my top three for favorite Amiibo and hes easily near the top for build quality. Theres no articulation, but these arent those types of figures (and theres a pretty great Mario figure available now for not a whole lot more than this, if thats your sort of thing!) Next, for the NFC portion- right now its uses are fairly limited, given that so few games are compatible with Amiibo. Because of this, Ill only be focusing on Smash Bros. Within that particular game, these are quite fun- its essentially an NPC you can bring with you into Smash matches. You can change the costume, level it up through fights, and feed it items to boost its base stats. It learns and adapts to fight beside (or against) you, and it does this very, very well. However, you cannot play as your amiibo or use it in non-smash modes, likely since it would greatly unbalance the single player experience. While disappointing, its understandable as this is supposed to be a game based on skill, not how many items do I have to eat until Im unbeatable? So, in summation- this isnt Skylanders or Disney Infinity. You dont need the Mario Amiibo to play as Mario, so for unlocking things hes not very useful. However, Amiibo can and WILL enhance your experience and bring more to the game than has ever been present in Smash before.

Works with both North American and Japanese games. Adorable detail.

One leg had a bit of the skin color different from the other BUT I have bought other amiibos which all of them were flawless. And every once in a while this thing come diffective (1 in 3000, maybe?).

The left arm with the shield seems to wobble unwillingly when lightly touch and Im afraid its a default with everyone else who seems to have one. Next Time you put it in stock, make sure her left arm is fixed.

In perfect shape when it got here. No problems with the box or figure. I love it!
