Nintendo - amiibo Figure (Luigi)

Weegee is the best Mario Bros. - everybody knows this. He's younger, thinner, faster, can jump better, and owns a Mansion. Yeah, he's a bit more cautious than his "big bro" - but let's face it, Mario has a death wish. He hangs out with the Dragon King that is trying to kill him all the time - inviting Bowser to parties, riding go-karts with him, playing sports..... Luigi just knows that there are times that "discretion is the better part of valor"..... He also knows not to invite the royalty-abducting, fire-breathing monster over for board games.

Nintendo's toys-to-life franchise known as Amiibo has become an important key point for them and for good reasons. Many games feature fun exciting ways to play and unlock content within Amiibo such have a special hide and seek game in Toad's Treasure Tracker or unlockable costumes in such games as Yoshi's Woolly World and Mario Kart 8. They also make a great collectible in itself due to Nintendo having a limited amount of merchandise for their franchises prior to Amiibo.

My son Loves this little Luigi figurine, and although he is only two and a half he loves Mario games. The figurine is sturdy enough that toddlers such as my son has dropped it and yet no damage. Also the Figurine is big enough for a baby to play with if accidentally grabbed. over all I like the Luigi amiibo.

Luigi is an amazing character and not enough love goes his way. He stacks up high as a good fighter and the amiibo trophy is hilarious in my opinion even though many people complain it's stupid. Simply planking luigi is all i need haha. Go get one before he's discontinued for the SMB series amiibos.

The Super Smash Bros series Luigi figure is very detailed for such a low cost toy. As is fitting with the series, his design and pose are both reflective of the Super Smash Bros games for 3DS and Wii U. Most specifically, he is doing his in-game, "taunt" in which he topples over. Luigi is a very strange fellow, and his pose for this figure is reflective of that. Using this figure is particularly great because it will always represent Luigi in any games that support a Luigi Amiibo. As Nintendo adds more games that support Luigi figures, it will become more valuable. It is not limited to just Super Smash Bros, and can unlock great content in several other Nintendo titles for 3DS and Wii U!

Mario's brother Luigi is ready for action. In "Super Smash Bros." for Wii U and 3DS, you can level up this character up to level 50 and become the ultimate champion. Luigi's moves include his Super Jump Punch and Green Missile attacks plus he gets a little more air when he jumps, too. Also compatible in "Mario Kart 8" where you can unlock an exclusive racing suit.

Luigi can be a little goofy. It comes through in the pose for this Amiibo. If you'd rather have him look normal, choose the Super Mario series version. As of now this Amiibo can unlock things in many games, as well as either train a CPU character in Smash or store board items and decorative bases in Mario Party 10. You'll need to choose between the latter two.

The first Luigi amiibo, and the best so far if you like the Smash Bros. theme. The clear plastic stand is one the least off-putting of all the amiibos that use them, especially considering the pose. Solid paint job overall, and his denim even has some decent texturing. Seams can be seen on his hat and nose, but only very close up. Very well done!
