The three amiibo released specifically for Nintendo's squid-shooter, Splatoon, add a whole lot of content to the game. Unfortunately, as fans located in Europe and North America will know, the Inkling Squid has only been made available in the Splatoon game bundle and amiibo 3-pack. Meanwhile in Japan, the squid retails individually.
Nothing has changed locally, however, a Dutch retailer has recently listed what is noticeably a Japanese standalone Inkling Squid amiibo product, due out on 6th November for €14.98.
With any luck, we'll see more of these individual squid amiibo imported over time – or perhaps this will even pave the way for a local standalone release in the near future.
Let us know in the comments if you would like to see individual squid amiibo made available locally and what you make of this latest retailer listing.
Thanks to Ryan Millar for the tip!

Would have been nice if we got the Inkling Squid separately, but I decided to just give in and buy the Triple Pack despite the fact I already had both the Inkling boy and girl.
...And the other 3-packs? :c
I want Duck Hunt.
The three packs with exclusives annoy me so hopefully Nintendo is splitting them up. Specifically with the retro three pack I only want Duck Hunt and Rob right now but my only option is buying them with game and watch.
Hooray! I still want the Squid Amiibo, but didn't want to buy the 3-Pack. Hopefully I'll be able to import one of these for the standard price.
What a cheap price.
@dadajo Same here! Except, I'm the other way around. I want Game & Watch, but don't want Duck Hunt (I could go for R.O.B, but he's really far down on my wish list). Also, I hope this comes out in the U.S. cuz I don't really like to import stuff.
Oh yeah baby!
How is this even possible? The separate Squid amiibo has been out of print in Japan for months now...?
Pre-ordered it.
I'd like one of these as I had pre-ordered the individual ones following the initial sell-out of the triple pack. I've bid on some individual ones broken out of the game+amiibo pack (it comes packaged inside the big box, so no reason they couldn't sell it separately), but it goes far north of £20, and I'm not paying that.
Hopefully they will sell separately and the retailer has just used the Japanese photo because that's all they could find.
Nice to see a potential West release of the individual amiibo. I hope this trend continues as making any exclusive to bundles is a very bad idea.
Though I still need to get the amiibos for splatoon. Is the content really that big?
Need an Octoling amiibo to unlock some extra stuff. Any day now.
It's not just the Dutch retailer, they've comfirmed it for Belgium as well.
Good, good. Now, uh... release an individual ROB and Duck Hunt already!
You easily obtain the separate Squid amigo from amazon.de and/or amazon.fr as well. Got mine there a while back for around 20 euro's.
@Hendesu all amiibo are incredibly cheap in the netherlands. And dutch retailers also have the so called "america exclusive" amiibo. Also amiibo sells so poorly here in the netherlands that you can get rare amiibo like ganondorf for only €6.99
I already bought the triple pack for €80... and I live in Holland Lol
@MajorasMax Lemme geuss you got it from Nedgame.
@darkswabber Never heard of this. Where? All the local stock is gone.
@Torterror the last time I was in bart smit in heemskerk north holland they had quite a few cheap amiibo and the nedgame in haarlem north holland has all the amiibo for a normal price, including the exclusives and the rare ones.
@Torterror
Yes I did! Am I crazy that I spent €80 on it? Maybe
