Pac-Man amiibo (Super Smash Bros Series)

My brother really liked his gift!

it leans slightly to the side. had hoped it would be covered in some sort of clear polish/shell, but it seems to just be raw sparkly paint (I worry itll scrap off, but havent tried). but other than that, its a cool looking little thing. I had a horrible experience using it though. put in SmashBros for the first time, started it up, put the amiibo on the gamepad sensor - and a message popped up telling me i needed to set it up first. i looked all over the menu system but couldnt find a place to set it up. i looked through the amiibo packaging and the game manual, but still found no hint at how to set it up. had to go online to discover that back in the WiiU system settings, a software update has buried screen for amiibo setup. Which mostly involves giving it a nick name. sigh. so having set it up, i restarted the game, and put the amiibo on - and was told I need to set it up. rage. Again, no guidance as to what to do. I didnt think to look through all the menus in game, becuase Id already done that. But going back to the internet, i found a video which eventually showed that after you set up amiibo in the system settings, the game introduces a new amiibo menu (buried on some second screen). So, having finally set up the #&^@@ing thing, playing a match with it was underwhelming. wtf? just a horrible user experience. admittedly, I had this idea Amiibos might turn out to be virtual friends on the couch who could leverage the local multiplayer concept that Nintendo is so known for. So you have Samus controlling a split screen, and trashtalking you. Play games with you toys. Thatd be rad. But now that Ive used an Amiibo, it seems pretty clear its just a smashBros gimmick (which would have been better as part of the on-disk software). bleh. So its a horrible let down, but giving that 2nd star because I see that a lot of work went into all this. And they could always wake up and use these toys in more interesting ways in the future.

Awesome amiibo, nice representation of Bowser, I collect amiibos just to display them on shelves

Cute fits in the stand. Very detailed

Everything arrived sooner than promised. Products were what they were expected to be. Very pleased with this purchase.

a point off strictly for personal aesthetic bias

Looks great

Im giving it 5 stars because my daughter asked for this and is very happy with it.

Recently bought this Kirby amiibo for my cousin and named it Bubbles , but I dont know what he or we did, but its fighting style is so bizarre and effective. It fights by just dodging your moves like the matrix, and then just destroys you slowly by running to the edge of the map and waiting for you to come. Its also practically impossible to touch it or grab it, the only way I can damage it is if I wait 2 minutes for it to slowly creep its way to me. But in general great figure, amazing design (which is very smooth), and is satisfying to look at, just every now and then its kind of scary knowing that this little innocent figure can crush you and destroy you in smash.

Got it!
