[NintendoReport]

From http://wiiudaily.com...erfeit-amiibos/

 

 

It usually doesn’t take long before someone counterfeits popular items for a quick profit. But it took longer for counterfeiters to forge Nintendo’s Amiibo figures, mainly because of the added complexity of having the NFC technology.

 

But they’re finally here: counterfeit Amiibos have been spotted in the wild at various online stores (we won’t link to them here). The counterfeit Amiibos appear very close to the authentic Nintendo creations, but upon closer inspection, there are clear differences between the real ones and the fake ones.

 

Right now, a 4-pack of counterfeit Amiibos, including Mario, Link , Pikachu, and Samus, can be purchased online for about $24 — half the price of the authentic ones

Really hope parents won't fall for it, but they are nice copies, and un-suspecting people have been fooled with less. I might bite though on some rarer ones (if available) for looks.

The only way you can really know if you look a the box or actually get to look at them up close...

 

Though, this makes me scared to think that there could be ones out that have identical boxes as well D:
