Pac-Man amiibo (Super Smash Bros Series)

Aside from this guy selling out in less than a minute at retail, it was a good experience to grab him.

One of the best Nintendo franchises, the best ship game in my opinion and details that impress. This amiibo certainly is indispensable for anyone.

Every amiibo figure I get is so well made and detailed.

Its a great figure and it has endless amount of fun!

Love how detailed that this Amiibo is! Still only one of my friends that has this amiibo

I love pikachu, and this little figure of him looks fantastic. cant wait to raise him to level 50!!:D

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.

Bought as a gift. Have no idea.

Right tip of box was slightly bent but figure is ok, be careful with handling!

Ryu translates surprisingly well in figure form. Simple yet very good.
