Nintendo - amiibo Figure (Samus)

I was surprised to find this Samus character on sale. It's going to be VERY hot soon once the new 3DS Metriod game comes out. I was grateful to see that Best Buy had it in stock!!! Great stuff, glad that they're ordering their products the way they are.

Can’t wait to use this with Super Smash Brothers Ultimate

Awesome product. Please sell more of them. Can't wait.

I don't believe it to be Best Buy's fault, but the character mold leans to one side. To the best of my memory, it looked normal in the package, but upon opening it, I discovered how much she leans. She is slightly movable, but always goes back to standing in an oblong way. I kind of like the uniqueness of it, but it's definitely not what Best Buy or the manufacturer have intended in their product.

There's really not much to say about the presentation of Samus, though that doesn't mean she isn't among the best looking amiibo out there. At first glance, her pose is quite simplistic, walking upright like a typical android would, although she is still an human being wearing the iconic Varia Suit. All of that made her authoritative and gave her sense of determination. And that applies to every angle you look at. The nearly entirely metallic paint job on her suit is fantastic, for an humanoid shaped amiibo. Unlike most of the amiibo, try putting her under any lighting and you'll see her shining with her armor that it makes Adam Malkovich so proud of her. It's a shame that it's not possible to see her face in the visor, but it doesn't matter as much, because there's always Zero Suit Samus amiibo coming up soon in North America. Aside from the silver micro-stands that hold her feet in place like the promotional artwork used, these can go pretty much unnoticed, especially when you're only looking in front of her.

While the pose is a little basic, this Samus amiibo figure is still cool and worth adding to your collection.

Great amiibo, received at a great price and delivered on time.

These amiibo look great! Samus looks to be assembled from at least ten different pieces, and the paint is incredibly detailed. In fact, the level of detail on these amiibo puts the Disney Infinity and Skylanders figures to shame. I like the fact that you don't NEED the amiibos to play Smash Brothers, making them totally optional. You train them, give them items, and then you can team up with them or play against them. They also unlock features in games beyond Smash Brothers like cool racing suits in Mario Kart 8, or bonus rewards in Hyrule Warriors. To me, this is the best implementation of the 'Toys to Life' concept. They're highly detailed, collectable, yet unlock neat features that are 100% optional and not required to complete the games they work with. Also, since they work with a number of different games, they're a much better value than the Disney Infinity and Skylanders figures.
