Nintendo Amiibo - Banjo & Kazooie - Super Smash Bros. Series

Its an amiibo!

Couldnt find it in stores, so glad it was here! I love banjo and kazooie, still wild they made it into smash!

Received exactly what I expected.

Its a banjo amiibo. Come on. People have been waiting for banjo in smash for 20 years, and now we get a cool figure that work in-game. Epic Gaming Moment

Arrived in time, the box was surprisingly in mint state and I love the little detail on his backpack (the Rareware logo)

This is the first and only Amiibo ive ever pre-ordered, I was not about to end up paying the extortionate prices of post-week-one amiibo releases... Shame on E-bay and Amazon for not condeming this behavior, there really should be a law against selling things for a certain amount higher than MSRP within the first few years of a products lifetime. But I digress. This is a wonderful representation of the golden boy of the N64. If you want something more accurate to the promo art, Id go for a Totaku figure, this uses the proportions of the new Smash Bros game, which I feel looks closer to his proportions on the in game N64 polygon model. Smaller head, hands, feet, longer legs. Kazooie looks a lot better in this than the Totaku figure. Theres also that lovely Jiggy piece Banjo is standing on. They really went the extra mile for this Amiibo. Surely you are only interested in this as a Banjo Kazooie figure, because its very unlikely this will have any interesting functions with games besides Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, as Rare not only have little interest in using this IP anymore, but they have little interest in bringing it to Nintendo Platforms outside of a Smash Bros guest appearance. So dont expect it to be more than a figure sitting on your shelf, which is more than enough for me.

The Amiibo box arrived damaged without any shock protection inside the cardboard shipping box. There is a large crease above the plastic from being tossed around during shipping (See pictures). I wouldnt order by mail if you want to preserve the box. However, its a Banjo-Kazooie figurine with amazing craftsmanship, so I still give it 5 stars.

I swore, I would never buy an Amiibo, but when my favorite video game characters get one, I had to. Excellent quality

Just arrived and the thing is just fabulous! The design, detail and colors make it one of the best amiibo out there. Reminds me of the good old days! Thinking about firing up the Rare Replay version.

The product is fantastic, pretty much perfect. The amibo is extremely detailed, making it a joy to display. The priced is a little high for what you get, but some other amibo are 3x the price, so its a good deal. Get it while its cheap! Its a fantastic amibo.
