You know what I wish?
That the newer amiibo didn't have the metal foil in the bottom.
Like... I get it. It's a safety thing to prevent loading data onto them. But... there's a couple I'd love to have kept in their packaging. Not many, but.. a couple.
I do hope we get the others. Mythra and Sephiroth especially.
On that, I'm a bit surprised they didn't do any amiibos for the new Xenoblade.

I've long since stopped amiibo collecting and have sold off all of mine except a few from the franchises that are my favorites. Basically I have my Metroid and Pikmin amiibo. Ness and Mega Man still. I also have Shulk.
So the plan now is that Pyra and Mythra should be the last amiibo I buy...hopefully.
Nintendo seems to be getting more careful with new Amiibo releases, but they're still coming. Of course the big question is whether they'll even work with Switch 2 - that'll be the definitive cutoff if it happens.

Kazuya was also spotted at the same convention but only got a blurrycam shot.
For Smash that just leaves Pyra and Mythra, along with Sora. Well, assuming Sora's released - Sakurai went on at length in one of the Smash videos about how all of the characters might not get Amibo. Then again in his YouTube videos he went on at length about how it was a potential possibility some videos could be removed due to copyright complaints. Dude may just be cautious, and I'm sure the Sora amiibo production (assuming it's a thing) went on long after he wrapped up Smash.

That Sephiroth one looks friggin huge.
And I think Sakurai is just being cautious. I can't imagine them not doing every character. They even said they were so sure they wouldn't be able to put Sora in Smash but Disney was super gung-ho about it. Considering he isn't explicitly a Disney character (like how he literally has no actual Disney characters appearing with him in the stage, etc) I can't imagine they'd object. It might be a different matter if they had added, say, Mickey Mouse.

Oh fuck. I think I just realized that I completely missed Min Min. I have no clue how... But checking the last page, it seems she completely went by unnoticed.
Now to check the internet to see her release date.
Edit: Shit, April and in super small quantities? Grrr...

Or we getting five sora amiibo
Could go either way
Sakurai specifically said on one of his Smash presentations that it may be possible that not all fighters will get an Amiibo. Now, that just be him being cautious - he said on his new videos that it's possible any of them could be pulled due to a copyright strike. Plus he likely knew he wouldn't be involved in future Amiibo production, which takes a loooong time.
But on the other hand, it was a legal miracle that Sora's in Smash in the first place, and one of the ownership parties already has a massive merchandising machine.
So, who knows. I'm hopeful but not planning on it.

I really don't see why we wouldn't get a Sora amiibo. Disney seemed pretty keen on him getting into Smash Bros. And it's not like he's Mickey Mouse or something, he's barely even their character. It's entirely possible we won't get one but I'm feeling optimistic about it.
It takes about 2 years for amiibo to be made after the fighter was released, so if we dont hear anything concrete by mid 2024 then I will assume Sora isn't getting an amiibo.

I am so glad I randomly got called out to help the parents today.. because it led to me stopping by Target. And sitting there, on the shelves, completely normal like... were these.
I guess I'd given up on trying to pre-order them after all my Best Buy shenanigans.
... I absolutely love those cards, TimFiji. Just... man, classy as hell.

So like a week later Best Buy finally got my Sephiroth amiibo in :P Whatever, not like I was in a crazy rush to use it or anything. Was starting to get worried they'd just cancel the order tho, so glad it showed up.
Wow, I literally ordered the Sephiroth amiibo right after I posted this and came home to see it was delivered today even though I only picked standard shipping. Sometimes it's nice to live a state away from Nintendo's warehouse.

Gamestop came through! I shall call this set "Running Back vs GLaDOS".

No word on the rest (Pyra/Mythra, Sepiroth, and Kazuya, or even if we're getting Sora at all).
To be fair, there’s almost a hundred characters in the game from every major publisher in video games.

Maybe, maybe not - we're still getting new Monster Hunter amiibo.

Seems to be available at Best Buy
Oh well. Turns out, Amazon Japan can get things here faster than Amazon US can, in some cases!
The details on her are next level, even compared to other later-generation Amiibo!
Doh, I tried to put the ping in there but I guess it didn't work
Doh, I'll have to remember this for the future
Best Buy also having some Amiibo sales.

Sephiroph and Kazuya are coming 1/13/2023. Pyra and Mythra are later in the year, but at least we've seen the figs!
