Nintendo - amiibo Figure (Super Smash Bros: Bayonetta - Player 2)

Do we really need go into detail about this gorgeous Best Buy exclusive? I didn't think so. If you're looking at this review, You should already be on your way to the store. Drive,don't walk. Pick it up while you can.

Bayonetta player 2 is my favorite Amiibo to date. The red ribbon in her hair is excellent. Great detail in the design. Bravo!

Great detail on the classic look of boyonetta amazing

For those who aren't aware, Amiibos are basically figures that come with DLC for various games on the current Nintendo systems. Some unlock stuff, while others offer small bonuses. The biggest draw is that a lot of them tend to be really nice figures of characters that either don't get merchandise, or what they get tends to be way too expensive for the average person. That latter is definitely the case with the Bayonetta amiibo, since the only other options if you want a figure of this character will likely run you over a hundred bucks. Currently, her biggest use in a game is in Super Smash Bros., where she can unlock a computer-controlled character that you can train to fight against or alongside you. The detail on this figure is very nice, as well. This is also probably the most risque amiibo released, due to Bayonetta's nature of posing dramatically and provocatively; it's pretty tame compared to what she does in her original games, but I don't exactly see this as a centerpiece in many children's collections. So this figure captures the look and style of the character perfectly. There is also a second version of this character; this review is for the one based on her look from the first Bayonetta, while the other figure is based on the character's appearance in Bayonetta 2. I'm personally more of a fan of the classic look, but your own tastes may vary.

This Bayonetta amiibo is extremely detailed and stylish. It's easily one of my favorites from the Super Smash Bros series. As far as I'm aware, Bayonetta's main amiibo functionality is only in Super Smash Bros; allowing you to train her and use her in fights. This version is the "Player 2" Bayonetta, which is based on her appearance in the first Bayonetta game (rather than her default appearance based on the Bayonetta 2 appearance). It was released exclusively at Best Buy in the US so this is the only place you'll be able to buy it. If you're a fan of Bayonetta, you'll definitely want to own this since this is probably going to be one of the only pieces of merchandise we see of her.

Look at the detail on this Best Buy exclusive. Having purchased every Smash Bros. amiibo released and waiting so long to finally get this last one, of course I was going to purchase this on release day. It must take Nintendo a long time to make these amiibo from concept to final figure in hand since it took so long for the last three DLC characters to release. But if that is the downside to an upside of high quality, I'll make that tradeoff. Bayonetta looks awesome and fits in quite nicely with the Smash Bros line. There is also a Player 1 counterpart to go along with it. This is one of the most detailed and best looking amiibo in my opinion. Nice work Nintendo.

This Best Buy Exclusive is HUGE. What I mean is, even from the picture above you can tell that her feet aren't even on the NFC circle. Her stance is really wide and her clothes fanning behind her take up even more room. The good news is, her 'wings' are made up of rather sturdy plastic, like the rest of her body. The only fragile or soft part are her ribbons and hair but given the fact that she'll keep most things at arm's length, I'm not too worried about her getting damaged.

Once you use a Amiibo you will never go back to not having them. They are indispensable and sometimes gives you extras that are helpful and special items that would not always be presented. It also acts like a cheat but doesn't give you everything but enough to make it on certain games more enjoyable and fun to try out with Amiibo features. Some Amiibo will be reissued and some will never be that's Amiibo for you so get them while you can.
