Robin amiibo (Super Smash Bros Series)

I picked up the Ryu Amiibo as my first Amiibo. Not exactly sure what I was getting my self into, but the figure of Ryu looked awesome. If youre looking for a cool looking Ryu collectible, then this is worth purchasing for the $12 price point, but it basically ends there. I scanned it on Super Smash Bros Ultimate for the Switch and it didnt unlock the Ryu playable character. I had to do that the old fashion way. Probably should have done some more googling prior to buying. All you get is a trainable character. You can set its default outfit and he gains experience via battling you. I havent trained him much but its a pretty weak offering in my mind. If theres more you can do with him, I havent found it. Too bad, but at least the amiibo looks cool. Pros: * well sculpted * cheap Cons: * weak Super Smash Bros Ultimate unlock Would I buy again, probably not. If I did, I wouldnt open it and just keep it in the box for display. Not worth the scan.

Quite frankly, I havent even used it yet on my copy of Smash, so I wont even talk about the game aspects of this. I like to collect figures such as Nendoroid and Cu-Poche and Id be comfortable stating that if someone were to buy this for the figure alone, the price is quite worth it. It may not be up to the same level as the Good Smile stuff, but then again, at one-third to one-fifth of the cost, I wouldnt expect the same feature set that other collectible figures have (no interchangeable parts, etc). And for $13, its of higher quality than any capsule toy youd collect at the same price. It is not very heavy, but the build quality is gret, it feels solid and has a very nice paint job. It would be quite at home sitting on my Nendo display shelf. Ive also picked up Link, and undoubtedly will pick up a few more.

Came on time, awesome Amiibo. Got Epona for BOTW!

Its either a nice collectible figurine if you dont have a Wii U, and its an interesting way to get some bonus content (or to train the special cpus a.i. for Smash) on some current compatible games if you do. Frankly, id say theyre worth their retail price. Just plan to get them soon, before they discontinue it and their prices skyrocket--theyve been doing that to select figures, and thankfully it hasnt happened to this one yet.

Super cute! Love the detail. Its just an amiibo so it wont do anything special and the Palutena one is only for Smash, but its still a fantastic item for any gamer and especially Kid Icarus fans.

High quality item!!! Fast shipping!!!

Came in great quality. Didnt have any odd bends or strange marks on it like most amiibo I see in stores. And is generally awesome as a product. Im glad I pre-ordered this since Ive seen it sold out everywhere I go look for amiibo. As for its use for the Wii U? Well, I can only say Ive tried it for Smash Bros Wii U, and as a learning AI its top-notch. Not only does it learn how to better battle against me after every victory and loss, not only does it learn tricks from AIs that I cant pull off on my own, but it also shows that its learning mid-battle. Ive seen my Fox amiibo, one that I named Analyst, literally stop in his tracks and stop himself from charging into the fray once again against opponents whove done nothing but pummel the poor guy non-stop... and hed readjust his tactics, try another method of attack, rather than get himself KOd again and again by the same tricks (which my best custom lvl 9 CPUs cant seem to do). Analyst has since far surpassed me in skills, and I cant seem to adapt fast enough to his strategies to defeat him. Interestingly enough, my other amiibo, a Samus amiibo I named Technician, can easily beat him time and time again. The interesting thing is, the two amiibo were trained completely opposite from one another. Analyst was trained mostly against human opponents and multiple teamed CPUs. Technician was solely trained by battling CPUs in one-on-one battles. I cant beat Analyst in a fair fight, but I *can* beat Technician in a fair fight. Analyst knows how to battle against human opponents, its what he was trained to do. If he didnt fight a human target, he fought against multiple foes at once in order to better confront an ever-changing strategy. Technician only knows how to battle against AI opponents, its what she was trained to do. She knew how to battle any form of custom AI I threw at her in any settings, learning how to block and dodge their near-perfect strikes and set up traps ahead of time that normal CPUs couldnt easily predict. But Analyst couldnt figure out how to battle a single-minded impossibly strong AI. And Technician couldnt figure out how to fight a multiple-minded human opponent. The way these amiibo grow and learn with time in Smash Bros is not only incredible, but extremely intriguing and pleasing. They really feel like /your/ amiibo, and no one elses. You watched them grow and think on their own, so you know why they fight the way they do, why they think the way they do. But if anyone else fought them, they wouldnt know what to expect. And in the same way, you wouldnt know anything about another players amiibos strategies or way of battling. It really is an astonishing aspect of these little figurines. Far more fascinating than one would originally give them credit for.

Product was great, in great quality.

Not as good as the new breath of the wild amiibos but it will get you epona and the twilight princess tunic in game.

I love Toon Link, so this Amiibo is great! I can barely beat it at level 50
