    Do those even have NFC chips? If not then I don’t see the amiibo comparison. At that point they’re just regular old figurines.

    I’ll wait for a Nathan Drake figure, or something from The Last of Us. Or at least a good Kratos version.

    I'm just surprised Sony included the old guy from Tekken -- I figured they wouldn't want to remind people of PlayStation Unbalanced Too Many Words Smash Bros.

    I'll probably get the Sackboy, Kratos, Hunter and PaRappa. And I'll probably be able to fucking find them, too.

    The Totaku figures are not a Sony thing. They are just a new gaming collectible figure series. The first wave just has a lot of Sony stuff in it.

    They’ve already confirmed some from Sea of Thieves for next year.

    Here's a larger list of figurines from gamestops database:

    edit: and yeah, despite the fact that they tried real hard to make it look like a Playstation version of amiibo, this is a 3rd party company and Sony just liscensed out their characters to them.

    Even Funko is getting in on these vaguely Skylander/amiibo looking figurines. The art style seems to be a low-rent version of the Disney Infinity figures though.

    I appreciate them trying a style other than pop, at least. But these loook pretty poor to me. Going for the Disney Infinity look but not pulling it off.

    I don't understand why you'd get these over regular action figures. I mean, when they're attached to some kind of toys-to-life game, I get it, but otherwise? Why wouldn't you want more articulation in a cheap figure?

    I hate those Pop figures, with their featureless faces and empty black eyes. I don't understand why they're so popular.

    I really can't stand Funko. Like, every style of figure I've seen from them looks terrible to me. I still don't get why they are so popular. The eyes especially on the Funko Pops are the worst.

    I have no idea why sony is trying to do the amiibo thing. Like at least nintendo is doing mostly characters people like. There are a bunch from the sony lineup that I havent even heard of. Except for maybe the Aloy one depending how it looks, I can't see myself even looking at getting the rest of them.

    Considering how well Amiibo have sold on the whole, my question is why it took Sony so long.

    I'm sure it will be as successful as Playstation All-Stars, the Smash Bros ripoff :P (in other words, Sony doesn't really have enough memorable characters to do this kind of thing and they should stop bothering :P)

    Well considering the insane amount of animal crossing amiibo that are still everywhere/in the discount bin, making ones of characters no one cares about is a waste of time.

    Funko figures are freaky and dead eyed. I only have one (Batman) that someone gifted to me but I wouldn't spend money on any of them. They are just cheap and soulless looking. Nothing like my Figma Samus, which is awesome and poseable. :P
