Ryu amiibo (Super Smash Bros Series)

It was in amazing condition. Not even scratches could be seen.

I have always loved the Fire Emblem Amiibo figures. the level of detail is amazing and this one is no Exception!

one of THE best looking amiibos in my collection the detail is impressive , well worth it .

Expensive but the birthday recipient loved it so it was worth the extra few dollars.

Good quality- a little wear on box, but otherwise like new. Shipped fast.

Bought this for my big kids ... and wound up playing video games for a long time with them. Really fun -- good thing they knew what they were doing. (They LOVE the amiibos being able to train the characters is really neat)

Really, really nice figure! Nintendo has done a really nice job on the execution of these Amiibos, from the pose design and sculpt to the painting work, and the packaging is GREAT. Sadly, youll have to destroy the packaging to remove the figures, and youll absolutely have to remove the figures to use them. Nintendo placed a signal blocker under the base of the figures in the blister, so that you cant use them still inside their boxes, unlike Skylanders and Disney Infinity. Compared with other similarly sized figures, these are a good value. The quality is better than most, and the Amiibo functionality is really essentially free (or very low cost). At the moment, Amiibo functionality is somewhat limited, unlocking cosmetics and minimal content, and not really offering any new gameplay options. If these figures are a success, its quite believable that Nintendo will expand their capabilities. Nintendo seems aimed at releasing Amiibos for every character appearing in the new Wii U Smash Bros, so youll have plenty of characters to choose from. If youre a collector, youll probably want to preorder them, as some seem to be rarer than others, and theres no clear communication yet as to whether Nintendo will replenish stock of sold out characters, or just continue to make new characters. Oh, and theres plenty of potential for reposes and new versions of existing Amiibos. The world needs colorful Yoshi options, and powered up Marios, and rad Samus variants. Right? In conclusion, if youre a long time Nintendo fan, the Amiibo figures really are about the best collectibles on the market. Nicely built, nicely painted, and functional.

I was happy to find it was still in box for such a low price!

This is my first experience with any of the Amiibo products, and Im pretty impressed. Not only is this figure solidly built and heavier than I expected, hes a lot of fun in games. I put Bowser into my Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and immediately put him to work. Within about five minutes of me beating him up, he started to become a competitor. The more I do this, the tougher he will become. Plus, I can customize him any way I want: name, color, I can even increase his stats (attack power, speed, etc.). With a little work, my good friend Bowser will become a formidable foe indeed. If Im lucky enough, Ill be able to use Bowser to get revenge for all those times my brother pummeled my poor character Yoshi into dust. Take that, [name reluctantly omitted]!!!

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.
