Weirdness: Defective Fox and Villager amiibo Now Appear on eBay

Is this on purpose?
LOL @Villager amiibo

They will flatline

And here I am making sure all of the models are pristine and thoroughly inspected for flaws before I buy them

I wonder how much this defective amiibo will sell for?

Nintendo's newest money making idea......throw all crates of amiibo against a wall a few times before delivery......then watch them fly off the shelves

I'm sure I'm not the only one meticulously checking each and every Amiibo when I come across them in stores by this point. XD

well this escelated quickly

Let's just make priceless collectibles out of every defective amiibo why don't we.

Honestly, how many of these are gonna pop up before they stop being worth something to people?

LOL I don't think that Peach amiibo will sell for 3500$. They could be trolling that listing.

amiibo is just getting better and better...

I just completed my wave one collection and are happy to announce:
I got every figure before they hit 140+ bucks on amazon...
Its crazy how quickly this has become such a complete hoarder desaster.
I guess theres a way to ruin pretty much everything thats remotely collectable

I don't think there is a point with broken amiibo, the reason we want the messed ones is if it looks cool, not a "faulty" one.

And I hope nobody spends much on the villager one, that's just pointless

So, they're worth a lot because they're crappy products.
okay

I'm starting to like the defect amiibo craze. Fun to see the flaws and fun seeing the lengths people will go to for the defects. Can't wait to see what's next. Maybe a Mario without the fireball, a "flying" WiiFit Trainer (both arms forward) or a naked DK (aka no Tie).

@ultraraichu
Can't wait for "Dual Pistols" Zero Suit Samus

I kinda understood the Samus one because it looked cool, but this?

Despite that, I'm enjoying the craze. It's fun how everyone complains about the lack of quality and yet is provides us with that much hilarity.

@Jordie Totally agree, Sumus was cool and probably one of a kind but this is just stupid.

Twin tailed Pikachu maybe?

@WingedSnagret

If all of these defective Amiibos are worth it, the store employees will be the ones getting to them first

@BarryDunne Birthday Suit Samus.

I managed to get all the amiibos I wanted but Yoshi was double the regular price. I wonder if Skylanders or Disney Infinity had this problem or were they more well stocked?

That Villager amiibo looks like he's groovin'...

PS, not really related to the subject, but am I the only one that finds it weird to read when "amiibo" is in all lower-case letters?

@NintyMan That's something that happens with mass-produced, high demand figures, especially at this scale that always beget paint-bleeding/chipping or worse. It's why I always compare and contrast these kinds of "skylanders-esque" figures before buying.

i feel like the Villager amiibo's eyes are too far apart

People being desperate for money

Keeping my eyes peeled now

Kinda off topic, but my Link amiibo still isn't here (I pre-ordered it and it was dispatched on Friday)! Anyone have problems with the UK Store as well?

@Player4 Well of course, people need lots of money to get the ultra rare Gamecube adapter after all!

why.. just why...

Oh man, Villager broke his arms, lol.

"Ah, I'll buy it at a high price!"

Thanks... But no thanks. I'll get the good ones, for a standard -already somewhat high- price.

Naked samus! I'm buying!

Villager looks as psycho-killer as always, of course.

Wonder what a Dual Shield or Dual Master Sword Link will sell for...

The Fox one is actually pretty cool!
The Villager one is just sad.

Well... Samus was cool, and this visorless Fox is neat too, but the others? Those are just broken models that probably qualify for replacement should anyone get them when ordering online. But now we're seeing them reaching absurd prices on eBay? What has humanity wrought upon itself... -_-'

The defective Villager is a bit fitting. I'd die if he had his feet backwards too so it looked like his head was completely turned around to his backside.

I wonder if buyers and manufacturers are working together on this... I'd kill for some polyjuice potion.

i would buy a dual wielding shulk or adult link a reg price and maybe sell or keep it

That villager is downright disturbing... It's nose isn't too much better, either.

The villager's face in the amiibo is messed up on every figure, so it doesn't make a difference. I just don't see how they could screw the eyes up (they need to be closer together) even with a photo right there!

@ThomasBW84 Just a heads up, the link that's supposed to lead to the legless Peach article actually leads to the dual-wielding Samus article.

"Legless Peach" is something I never thought I'd have to type before.

Wait so the villager defect isn't its face?

yikes

@Dipper723 The Villager...IS DEAD..

Somewhere in the world there is a Samus without an Arm cannon, lets see who finds it first

@Guybrush20X6 Yoshis are abundant where I live.

Ohhh,.. wooow! Just wow! Makes me honestly question if these are put together by hand, are just the 1st production batch/line of the 1st batch/set("1st wave characters"). It also makes me question if this is a group of ppl, or just a person, tampering w/ the Amiibo(s) figures, like I said yesterday.

That e-Bay account looks legit. Maybe someone who honestly came across these. Or someone who was legit, & is now involved in scamming ppl.

Makes me also reconsider getting involved in selling Amiibo, since I'd be in a sea of fraudulent looking sellers, though thank God I do have a positive history record; likewise reconsidering keeping my normal Link, or selling it for a fair price, & capitalizing on the fact it's normal.

Thing is, these are only worth money because of the rarity of the defects. If so many amiibo have defects right now, are they really still worth collecting?

Fox! what does the scouter say about his power level? Oh.....nvm

The eye piece on the the Fox is behind him. If you look really close at his back you can see it. People are stupid to pay that much for it. The piece is in the package!

This is sad folks... Dual cannon Samus, Link missing shield paint, legless Peach, Fox missing his eye patch, wonky-armed Villager; what's next? Can't wait until Nintendo figures a way to add Pokemon to the Amiibo lineup. Can't wait to see what kind of defects crop up.

Of all those I've seen thus far, the dual cannon Samus was the only one that looked really freakking cool. Someone out there with deep pockets will eventually buy a complete set of New in Box defective Amiibos.

Another thing I thought of. Besides cosmetic errors, what if an Amiibo figure gets the wrong chip installed? Like a Samus with a link NFC chip inside it. You wouldn't know unless you opened the box...

This is just becoming silly now

@StarDust4Ever Dual wielding Donkey Kong.

the sillyness is over.... under 9000!!!
