If you are looking forward to the release of Dark Souls: Remastered on Switch on 25 May, you'll probably want to pick up the lovely Solaire amiibo, which was announced in the most recent Nintendo Direct. Because, why wouldn't you?
Solaire of Astora is a 'Warrior of Sunlight' who appears throughout the original Dark Souls. You can use the Solaire amiibo to unlock and perform the iconic "Praise the Sun" gesture.
Pre-orders for this amiibo have just opened up on Amazon UK, so you probably want to get in there quickly as it will likely sell out soon. It's priced at £12.99 for Prime members and £14.99 for non-Prime members.

Aaaaaaaand... it's gone. Never mind.
Dark Souls: Remastered is a lot cheaper than I thought it would be - it's convincing me to take the plunge and buy it
I did ASAP and I got one... It's also expensive for an Amiibo: 25€. Is there a reason beside its rarity?
I wonder if it has some hidden functionality for Breath of the Wild...
Coming soon: Dark Souls - Lunaire of Astora amiibo
With interchangeable saucepans.
@BranJ0 Base offer it for £28.85 if you don't mind it being a day or two late.
Woop. I got the game on order yesterday when it was £29.99 - £2 for Prime members (that's me that is) and I got the Amiibo today.
Buy an Amiibo to do a pose? Nah I am good, even it does look nice.
However I will pick the game up though and rage endlessly.
@GARF13LD I think at this point people buy amiibo not for the in-game functionality but simply to have an amiibo sitting on their shelf (or locked in a box somewhere to sell later at extortionate prices).
@NewAdvent I buy the ones I know I'll use. Even detective Pikachu
@NewAdvent Yes, the only time I bought Amiibo for their functionality was to unlock costumes for Link in BotW. I got almost the entire Smash series (only missing the last wave because I missed preorders and still no restock) just because I like having them sitting on my shelf, plus some others (Mario 30th, Splatoon 1st wave, Animal Crossing bought for €3 each)
And only available in Australia via Nintendo's official eBay page... It's like they just decided to cut out the middle man and scalp them themselves. Now I'm seriously considering dropping my pre-order and skipping this altogether .
Praise the Sun!
DO WANT ! Still playing it on PC after buying it 18 months ago (damn you Artorias) so will probs pass on the game but highly recommend!!
@Natzore I started getting the Zelda related ones because I like Zelda and like having that little Zelda corner on my desk, but the stock issue turned me off of the whole thing. I would get the Metroid ones too but again, they're just too pricey due to their relative rarity. I did see the 'Samus Returns' Samus figure for base price on Amazon yesterday, so they must be coming back gradually.
GUESS I CHECKED TOO EARLY AT 6AM. And please, don't yell at Nintendo for this like everyone else is, this is total 3rd produced and in the US at least it's a deal with Gamestop and Bandai.
I've been looking everywhere since it was first announced, cant even preorder it at gamestop a place that is my last resort.
Only place I did find the was ebay and it was over $200, Ridiculous.
If I get one later for regular price fine no way would I pay more that what the retail price is.
Aaaaand it's gone.
I only buy the ones from games I’m already into like Zelda and Metroid ones. Will have to play the game first.
Gamestop Ireland had some this morning! Thought I’d missed my chance but managed to grab one (as work started!)
