I saw that, was it a Luigi?

oatmeal flavor:
A Luigi base I think. The packaging looked legit.

So I know this is the amiibo thread, but in the drought between waves I've found myself researching other Nintendo figurines. amiibo are cool and all, but I certainly don't intend to do what the title of this thread suggests and "catch 'em all". At this point, with so few games supporting the figures, my interest in any particular amiibo boils down to its appearance, and if I don't like the way it looks, I've found myself looking for available alternatives.

Case in point, I've ordered myself these awesome Figuarts Mario and Luigi toys:

There's also an accompanying Yoshi on the way! Check it!

You can even do this!

And this!

On top of these, I already own the Figma Samus, Link, and Pit figures. Lucina is also on the way, and she's looking good!

There is also the Jakks Pacific "World of Nintendo" line, which seems to have some decent figures as well, though I own none of them. I am interested in the 6" Bowser and DK though. There are also many new ones on the way this year, including a Star Fox figure! Read about/see concept art here: http://www.letstalknintendo.com/huge-amount-of-upcoming-toys-from-jakks-pacific/

By the by, the 6" figure line from Jakks Pacific my very well be making a Skull Kid figure in July that may e similar to the one found in the Majora's Mask Collector's Edition, though the quality may not be quite as high.

Sure, none of these figures interact with my Wii U or 3DS games, but they still look pretty cool. Also, the majority of these all come lovingly nestled in nice window-box packaging save for the "World of Nintendo" line, with the exception of the 6" figures (which may or may not have something to do with my interest in them, as I am a whore for sharp packaging that displays nice and can house a figure).

There are also some really cool nendoroid figures for Toon Link, Mario, Luigi, and even Sonic, among many other non-video game characters. Alas, I have no experience with these.

It was a ripoff, it was a 5$ figure glued into a $13 figure that sold for $200.
