Nintendo - amiibo Figure (Super Smash Bros. Series Pit)

Very excited Nintendo decides to re-release rare Amiibos in recent months. Pit (good guy version) was one of the few I missed. So happy I waited and never gave into scalpters online. This model of Pit is beautiful. The design and artwork are incredible. If you're a Amiibo collector or use them in game for Super Smash Bros I would highly recommend adding Pit to your collection.

If you are a collector no doubt that you need this.

I visited Best Buy later in the day on the day of the major restock, and was surprised to see none on the floor. A helpful employee went in the back and got the ones I'd asked for (they just hadn't put them out yet). Pit is another amiibo I never expected to walk into a store and be able to buy. He's been rare since his release in late 2014, and so the reprint was surprising. Overall, the box art is super good. As a NIB collector, I'm super appreciative of the design that went into making a uniform and colorful series of packaging for the amiibo. As for the figure, Pit's pose is the perfect blend of motion and static to look pleasing to the eye. He's quite big too, despite not being too heavy (unlike Bowser). Definitely one I'm considering buying again to open.

Pit was on the top of my list for awhile and it was great to see him restocked! His detailing and sculpt are perfect, with no paint flaws in sight. Like other Smash amiibo, he can be trained to become a powerful sparring partner. Being able to preorder for this restock was also a plus. Pit arrived on time in great condition! Happy to finally have him!

Amiibo is the most recent product in the same vein of toys as Skylanders and Disney Infinity figures. All three brands are figures made to look like in-game characters which are then attached to a base that hides a Near Field Communication chip. Placing these figures onto a type of scanner allows the chips, and any data saved to them, to be read and used in a compatible game. This Pit amiibo has excellent features. The wings and bow are a nice touch and really make the figure unique. One of my favorites by far.

Works great with system. Great buy for Christmas..

This one was one of the most anticipated for me to get. Same for Dark Pit which I did go in person to buy but the BB representative had no idea what I was even talking about. Not seeing him on the shelves made me give up as it was packed that day. Palutena was another challenge being an Amazon exclusive first time around. This trio was a trying challenge to nab them all. The seeking is always fun too. Not gonna lie.

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.
