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

I like the Sonic amiibo partly because it is a nice collectible for Super Smash Bros. fans, but also because it has uses in many Nintendo Wii U games as well!

I bought this Sonic amiibo for my son's wii u and he loves it, a great plus to it is that he has not been able to brake yet as he did with the hand for Mario amiibo the one holding the fire ball, which to be honest it came off the same day I gave it to him lol. But to be fair and on the defense for the Nintendo Mario amiibo my son is 3 and he does not know any better about how to take care of them. To him they are fun toys that can go inside the screen for his wii U and it makes him happy. overall I will buy it again if I had too, is sturdy and easy to put away and you can use it with many of the Nintendo games such as Super Smash Bros, Yoshi woolly world, Mario Kart, Mario Party 10, the Captain Toad game and a few others.

My kids finally stopped caring about Skylanders, and now Amiibo is here. The little figure is nice enough- I'm an 80's kid so I have a pretty good appreciation of Sonic, and it's a nice detailed statute. You really don't buy these fir kids to pay with though- they're collectibles and ostensibly are supposed to be useful in games, in that each Amiibo basically adds a very small amount of content to a variety of games. Sonic here adds an outfit in MarioKart 8 and a computer player in Smash Brothers that starts out as not being very good and eventually gets very hard to beat. If you're thinking of buying it to help somebody in a game, think again- there are immensely better ways to spend $13. This is only worthwhile if you want to collect the figures, and even then $13 for a figure is high, especially when there are something like 50 figures so far and more on the way. I'm pretty far down the rabbit hole with these things so I'll probably buy more, but I'm nit confident my kids won't realize these are pointless in a month abs then I'll be seeking then to Gamestop for pennies on the dollar.

This Sonic Amiibo looks great. Very well done like all other amiibo. It is definitely in my top 5. One thing I can tell you if you are wanting these to keep in the box and not take them out. DO NOT order them go to the store and pick them up. I say this because I just ordered 12 and out of those 12 only 1 was in good condition. All the back cards were bent and the plastic was crushed. I take them out so not a real big deal but if you are one that collects them to save and want them perfect do yourself a favor and go pick them up.

I only bought this Amiibo because Sonic has always had a special place in my heart ever since he first appeared on the Genesis. I was one of those kids who grew up with the NES but when Sega came out with the Genesis with all of its arcade style games I jumped ship very quickly even though I eventually ended up purchasing a SNES. Unfortunately the last good Sonic game was Sonic Adventure 2 on the Dreamcast. With all of that being said I must say that Sonic is a must buy for every Sega fan both old and young.

The amiibo craze stinks a little bit of Beanie Baby syndrome, but the figures are well made, and add fun functions to games you are likely already playing (if you're buying amiibos). Sonic makes a great pal to go through Smash Bros. with, and his amiibo is well constructed, and makes a nice collectable. If you're a fan of Sonic, Nintendo, or Sega, and you like having a shelf full of statuettes, there's no need to avoid Sonic as either your first amiibo, or a good addition to the collection.

I think these amiibos are pretty cool, mostly for collecting that is. Sonic is a 3rd party character guest introduced in this series back in Brawl. His moveset consists of his back ground in the game series, just like every other character, just don't really dig his "Final Smash" move though, it should have been changed to something else. Just like how they did with Luigi's old smash to his now "Ghost Vacuum" smash. Other then that, sonic's amiibo describes him perfectly, he loves to run.

As everyone knows, Amiibo have been a mess since Nintendo announced the rarity of certain ones, It seems like Wave 3 is no different especially with the Port Strikes on the West Coast, so when you find them grab them. Now as far as Sonic goes, he is one of my favorite characters of all time, they did a great job on him, and these are made well for being a glorified happy meal toy. Good paint job, and detailed for what he is. Should be a common one along with megaman.
