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!

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.

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!

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

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

For those unaware, Nintendo's line of Amiibo figures are collectibles that also unlock certain optional bonuses in video games that they're compatible with. Said bonuses vary, and are usually mentioned on the back of the packaging, for those curious. But most people buy these for the sake of having a nice and affordable figure of a favorite character. In the case of the Shovel Knight one, it works for the games of the same name on both the 3DS and Switch systems. It's a special edition re-issue of a previous Amiibo, sporting gold armor instead of the character's usual blue, and thus has the same in-game functions. So if you have the original Shovel Knight figure and can't find this one, don't worry too much unless you're in this solely for the collection aspect. The figure itself is very nice, with a pleasing mix of gold, bronze, and silver paint across its different parts. Even the packaging is nice to look at, with a foil stamped "Gold Edition" label in the top corner; in-box collectors will really enjoy this, as well. Regardless of if you're a fan of the Shovel Knight series, or an avid collector of Amiibos, or anywhere in between, you can't really go wrong with adding this to your collection.

If you're a long-time fan of Shovel Knight like I am (I have the game downloaded on five separate consoles), then this gold amiibo is a real treat to commemorate the long-awaited completion of the "Treasure Trove" DLC. Its functionality is the same as the regular blue Shovel Knight amiibo that was released a few years ago, but the gold color scheme with brown highlights makes this one a real standout in your collection. It's unfortunate that, even given the simplicity of the coloring, the paint jobs on a lot of these figures came out surprisingly sloppily, so I had to buy a few before I got one I was happy with. But either way, it's a great special edition figure that shouldn't be missed by amiibo collectors and Shovel Knight fans!

Perfect addition to the game! Amiibo adds a little extra to gameplay.
