Nintendo - amiibo Figure (Shovel Knight - Gold Edition)

This is my first amiibo figure that i’ve purchased and have actually unboxed. If you never have seen one in person the quality and attention to detail on these figures are very well crafted. I have a few figures that I decided to keep in box prior to this one for collectors/display piece purposes simply for the fact that they look so amazing. I was going to do the same with this Knight but ultimately decided to open it to see what the functionality of an amiibo is like. Super smooth and does exactly what you expect it to. My only suggestion is when collecting these, if you’re going to unbox and actually use amiibos for gaming purposes... do research on what’s all entailed with using the figure with the game it is intended for. Some figures actually function with a multitude of games and just for that alone imo makes these worth every penny. Being able to physically interact with your beloved video games just adds extra excitement/fun to your already favorite titles! Don’t hesitate on grabbing amiibos either because wether you believe what I say or not, these figures don’t stick around for long!

Beautiful Golden Shovel Knight to add to the collection. I wish Nintendo would do a whole Gold line. Just had to get it. Who knows if they will ever bring the Golden Amiibos out again. Get it if you can!

This was exactly what I wanted and more! This was the final shovel knight Amiibo I needed to complete the collection and it doesn’t disappoint! It is exactly what you think, a shovel knight Amiibo but GOLD! It does everything the normal shovel knight Amiibo does. I highly recommend this item if you don’t already have the normal shovel knight Amiibo. If you do already have the normal one, and your a shovel knight fan, then this is a must have! Disclaimer: Just like King Knight’s crown, it is not real gold.

It is a Gold Shovel Knight Amiibo, of course I am going to get it!!

And I don’t know why! This is a great addition to any amiibo collection. Highly recommended for any fan of the series.

So fun fact, the plural for amiibo is amiibo, just learned that one writing this review. I don't regularly collect amiibo, only the ones I really care about. The set of three and gold shovel knights that recently came out are of a great quality. It's subjective, but I like the poses and the detail put into them as well (which is pretty consistent for most amiibo). I received the set of 3 in the mail, and picked this gold one up in store (Don't ask me why, I don't have a good answer) and received both in flawless condition. If you keep yours in the packaging, this is a huge plus.

I would say any Amiibos are well made and even better if in box or out on Display. There is nothing like them out there that can be used in-game or just displayed on the shelf. Even if you don't get it the price for them make them all the worth while to have. They are limited and some are no longer made so if your looking buy when they are less otherwise by from over priced sites. Each Amiibos when scanned will either give your Bonus or Extras based on the games they are made for and for others give you extras.

I had the blue shovel knight figure but this gold painted shovel knight was too beautiful not to pick up. Ill probably keep this in the box. I have the Wii u version of shovel knight but I think I will get the new XBOX one version for the achievements lol. I only used the shovel knight figure to unlock the second player. Which I feel should be unlocked without the figure. Hopefully the treasure trove collection already comes with a second player unlocked.
