\"AMIIBO_LOGO\"<\/a>I\u2019ve been lucky lately and have been able to get pretty much all the Amiibo figures that have been released recently, so let\u2019s take a look and see what I got this time!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m surprised they actually made figures of the Mii Fighters, considering how customizable they are in Smash Bros.\u00a0 In the US, the Mii Fighters were sold as a three pack and were exclusive to Toys R Us.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t even know they were out until the day of release, and I went to Toys R Us about 15 minutes before they closed.\u00a0 They still had plenty!\u00a0 One good thing you can say about Toys R Us is that they are pretty good at stocking Amiibo figures.\u00a0 I heard another exclusive Amiibo at Toys R Us was Mega Yoshi, but I\u2019ve never heard nor seen anything about that Amiibo!\u00a0 Does it really exist?\u00a0 Speaking of Yoshi, the Mii Fighters work in Yoshi\u2019s Woolly World, to my surprise.\u00a0 Anyway, here are the Mii Fighters in their package.<\/p>\n

\"MIIFIGHTERS1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here they are out of the package.\u00a0 Nothing special, but still cool.\u00a0 Wouldn\u2019t it be neat if you could customize them to look like your Mii in the game?<\/p>\n

\"MIIFIGHTERS2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some other new releases include Mewtwo and Falco.\u00a0 I thought Mewtwo would be hard to find, but I\u2019ve actually seen it in several stores.\u00a0 Falco was a Best Buy exclusive, and luckily my brother Jeff was able to pick up the last one for me at a nearby Best Buy store.\u00a0 Best Buy isn\u2019t too good at stocking Amiibos, I\u2019ve noticed.\u00a0 One of the only Amiibos I\u2019ve had to import was Meta Knight, and that was also a Best Buy exclusive.\u00a0 Anyway, here they are in their packages.<\/p>\n

\"MEWTWO1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here they are out of their boxes.\u00a0 Falco has some nice details, including the cuff buttons on his jacket and his headset\/eye view thing.<\/p>\n

\"MEWTWO2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And last are a bunch of Animal Crossing Amiibo figures released alongside the new Wii U game, Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival.\u00a0 It\u2019s a board game where you use your Amiibo figures like game pieces, and you can\u2019t play the game without \u2018em, so make sure you have at least one Animal Crossing Amiibo before playing.\u00a0 The game comes with two figures, Isabelle and Digby.\u00a0 There is also a three-pack that has Reese, Cyrus, and K.K..\u00a0 They also sell single packs of Lottie, Tom Nook, and Mabel.\u00a0 Lottie was a Target exclusive, but the others you can find at pretty much any game store.<\/p>\n

\"ANIMAL1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here they are out of the boxes.\u00a0 There are some nice details on these, too.\u00a0 Tom Nook\u2019s sweater is weave-textured, and K.K.\u2019s guitar has a wood-grain look to it.\u00a0 The game also comes with a few Animal Crossing Amiibo cards.\u00a0 You can use them to play some single player mini-games in Amiibo Festival. \u00a0I\u2019ll probably write a blog about that later, but it\u2019ll take a while to unlock them all, so don\u2019t expect that blog until January or so.\u00a0 The Animal Crossing Amiibo figures and cards will also work with Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, so that\u2019s cool.\u00a0 Unfortunately, they don\u2019t work with Yoshi\u2019s Woolly World.<\/p>\n

\"ANIMAL2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m glad I was able to get all the Animal Crossing figures.\u00a0 I heard in January they are releasing four more, including Blathers the owl, his little sister Celeste, Resetti, and Kicks.\u00a0 I hope I can get those, too, especially Blathers because he is my favorite Animal Crossing character.\u00a0 The Animal Crossing series is very special to me because I\u2019ve had so much fun playing the games with friends and family.\u00a0 The one on GameCube is one of my top five favorite games of all time.\u00a0 I may have told this story already, but a few years ago when my grandmother passed away, after the funeral my family gathered at her house to eat dinner and visit.\u00a0 My cousin and her kids were there and we all played Animal Crossing: New Leaf together on our 3DS systems.\u00a0 I used to play with my cousins a lot when we were kids when I would visit them, so this was a bittersweet reminder that playing Animal Crossing with them might\u2019ve been one of the last times we get to do that again.\u00a0 So yeah, I really like that game.<\/p>\n

Also, if anyone wants to trade or buy, I’ve got an extra\u00a0Bowser Jr. and an import Zero Suit Samus, plsu a Limberg card.\u00a0 Anyway, I\u2019ve gotta run, so see you all later!\u00a0 Sonic better run, too; I think Mabel\u2019s found herself a boyfriend!<\/p>\n
