I'm buying the characters I like because they look cool. Probably won't use them after the first time for the lolz.

If someone wants to see a bad Samus figure should have seen the one that came out in 2002. I used to have this thing til I sold it couple years ago. I sold it for obvious reasons and the worst part it is new it was like $30 and now it can sell between 60-250 buck depending on condition and loose or sealed.
lol it was 8-9 inches tall and looked like a Happy Meal Toy. Sure was posable but didn't help much.

If 3Dude is really after a Samus figure then go after a Figma

Articulated/posable figures dont have a person who chooses the permanent pose the figure will be in.

And as such, arent prone to someone hitting every amatuer mistake a-z in composing a dynamic pose, from having no line of motion, to having the feet together.

Its a rainbowty pose, on the only figure I would remotely consider getting an amiibo for, I gave my opinion. someone pressed me for more information, and I gave it. You rainbow all over the place. Grow up.

Lol this is exactly what i'd do. I'm considering buying a DK figure but after I use it once it'd probably just be a dust collector sitting on my shelf.

I guarantee your figurines will be getting more then a one time play. People seem to forget these lil cute guys and gals.. and creatures will be used for more then one game. Once you learn that your figurine is able to be a part of another new title... you are going to use it again. I guarantee it.

Same here. I hadn't planned on buying one..but the more I read and thinking about it, for $12 it's hard to resist the urge to not buy atleast one.

So as a Nintendo fan I personally hope these do very well. I personally will not be buying any as IMO they are a waste of my money. I do (this is nothing against you OP) feel like people hype up anything thing too much that might impact Wii U sales. I mean it seems as if Wii U is doing better than last year this time but come on. these Amiibos are only going to be a hit if they can help move WiiU units. My question to you guys is will these things help sale Wii U's?????

 

Maybe a little.....  Kids will have one more reason to nag their parents to buy a Wii U....

 

I'm kinda with you in that I don't see the playable benefit to these, but i will buy at least Donkey Kong, Star Fox and then Yoshi.  Maybe not all at once but I'd imagine that by this time next year I will have those three for sure.

I think these things are a good idea for Nintendo from a business standpoint (kids getting parents to buy Wii U consoles, etc.). However, I could not care less. I just want my games plz.

Think I'll probably buy one (Mario). See what if it's worth it and then decide if I want more.

I'm going to be buying Link, but I'll wait and see how the amiibos are incorporated into games before buying any more. I was surprised they were only $12.99 .
