Earlier today Nintendo confirmed release dates and details for amiibo figures, with the pleasing announcement of a 'second wave' of six toys that will arrive in December — they're confirmed for the 19th of that month in Europe and are yet to be pinned down in North America. They'll bring more of the Super Smash Bros. cast to the range, and will surely be tough to resist so close to the Holiday season.
The new arrivals should all prove to be popular, too — Zelda, Diddy Kong, Luigi, Little Mac, Pit and Captain Falcon. Along with the announcement Nintendo released some lovely artwork and pack shots of these delights; we thought it'd be nice to gawk at them all in a gallery.
Check them out below and let us know which, if any, you plan to pick up via the poll and comments section below.

Where is Wario????
I can't wait to have a Captain Toad amiibo (when Treasure Tracker comes out)
This little mac seems too white : /
Luigi needs more Poltergust.
The Captain Falcon figure looks fantastic. I'm only getting one (Peach) unless Nintendo reveal some new functionality before launch.
Where is Samus? That is the best looking one by far!
Doesn't Zelda bounce between various hair colors? Wtb blonde Zelda!
Loving Little Mac, getting Luigi as well.
Zelda is a maybe. If it was the SS model it would be a preorder.
I wanted to say Pit but the Cap's model looks really special XD
@Inkling - CT:TT is out Dec 5th in the US and this 2nd wave comes out after that date so....
I still think every Captain Toad game should come w/ him packed in though, like Mario in SSB U. Not a special ed either, every. single. one.
Capt. Falcon is by far the most detialed I've seen of any of these, that gun in it's holster and even the bottom of his boots have treads, incredible detail compared to say Luigi.
Not sure I'll be getting any of these - I like Nintnedo for its game play not nostalgia - but I think it's a good plan by Nintneod to have a 2nd wave come out 2 weeks after the first, keep the consumer coming back for more. Good plan.
I'm probably the only one who don't care for Amiibo's, I might get one or two down the road but it's just not my kind of thing, but I would get one if Club Nintendo would sold them.
@sinalefa - So your plan is to buy them but not play w/ them? Guess they'll be in mint condition for your kids some day. My wife still has all her old Stars Wars toys - those little 2" tall figures - from the 1980's. She was a geeky kid.
Holding out for Lucina/Robin figures. And for them to do something on 3DS.
Each one of these is damn near perfect.
My mains have always been Samus, Fox, and Luigi. But damn if that Zelda and Captain Falcon couldn't look any more amazing! I'm going to be so broke!
My Zelda fanboy heart leans toward the Princess, but man Captain Falcon has some awesome boots.
Zelda and Captain Falcon looks good. Now I want them all! Luigi is disappointing but I'll get it nonetheless for my kid.
The little 80s kid in me has been waiting decades to see some of these characters get the 'figure' treatment!
A closer look
Anyway, I wonder what happens when you drop these amiibos. Will they break or detach from their bases?
@Undead_terror : There are a lot of people who are not interested in these, you are not the only one.
@rjejr
I think that is a good idea. Maybe we can use the NFC even if they are inside the package, and inside the package it is easier to clean the dust off them too.
My bros had a lot of those SW figurines. When the G I Joe became popular, my elder bro would make costumes for them to resemble G I Joe characters. It was funny to see both Chewbacca and Jawa cosplaying as vipers.
Luigi looks silly flying like superman. Great figures though such amazing.
I got my eyes on that Pit amiibo. Kind of surprised that the 2nd wave is coming so soon after the first but hey I'm not complaining.
All of them. Every.single.one
Will get all the Mario characters, Zelda snd Captain Falcon. And Mr. Peepers if they makes him. (I also hope they makes a yellow Hero mode version of Diddy )
I'm all about Pit now. Which is funny because I wasn't very good with him in Brawl.
I may buy two Zelda's, one to go beside my statue.
Captain Falcon looks AWESOME.
What's Luigi doing?
I need that Diddy figure!!! Weeg, Pit, and the Captain look great too, as all these amiibo figures do. Can't wait to drain all my money on these lil things.
Pit & Captain Falcon for me.
I want secret fighters amiibos :<
Duck hunt, game and watch, and others.
Plz ninty.
I wanted to have a Diddy Kong toy when I was five years old, and I still want one. A quality one. This one seems good enough.
Falcon
.. P U N C H !
I need a Lv. 50 Captain Falcon sparring buddy!
Pit, Zelda, Diddy Kong and Luigi for me.
As much as I keep questioning the point of them, I keep thinking it's pretty likely I'll end up buying at least one or two of these at some point. Probably most of the ones with swords and/or Greninja. Because Ninja Frog.
Technically, Pit isn't new. He was part of the initial reveal at E3.
OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR IF ALL MANKIND, Captian Falcon ALL THE WAY!!!
(Yes, all caps was necessary!!!XD)
I want a Captain Falcon, Luigi, Ike and Lucina one.
Great to see the popularity of captain falcon. Loved the 90s F-Zero games.
I want my Kirby. Without the blotched eye, anyway.
I may also take Pit and Mii but I want my Kirby.
Aww. who am I kidding! I want 'em all.
Please nintendo, stop with those awkward poses already. If a figure requires a support structure, it just doesn't look good.
I hate that I want these.
I feel that Luigi will tip over easily.
I'll get Pit for sure. This'll fill the void of that Figma Pit action figure that I couldn't afford. Now show me his twin and the Goddess!
I'm unimpressed with the Zelda amiibo...Something about it looks off. It's been that way for me with every photo I've seen of it. Same with Link's.
Captain Falcon's probably the best one I've seen yet! I'm tempted to get one, but I'll probably just get my favorite characters.
Good GOD Falcon is incredible, I am only getting a few and he'll definently be one of them.
That Captain Falcon looks great, so I know my brother will be happy. I just need some really good Ike and Zero Suit Samus amiibos. I'd definitely think about getting Palutena too.
@Mk_II
They need that 'stand' to send data between the game and the figure. Plus, having them just stand upright wouldn't look as nice as these poses.
@Ryno So you are also not interested?
These look fantastic... I will pick up a couple. No doubt. However, I'm anxious to see their uses in other games.
@Undead_terror: Yeah, not interested. The whole thing seems silly.
Pit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Donkey Kong, Fox, Yoshi, Diddy Kong.... Maybe Luigi and Mario later on.
Luigi looks superb!! But then again i would really like to know what else these figures do in other games…im sure i dont need them all but i must say im very tempted…but Capt Toad comes first!
Weird Luigi pose??? Captain Falcon and Zelda look ace. Glad I won't have to wait long... so disappointed when Zelda wasn't in the first 12.
Great, now I have a new avatar picture
The Captain Falcon one looks awesome!
Still don't know if I'm gonna get these though. I dunno if the functionality of them are big enough for me to justify a purchase.
I'm curious how they mass produce the detail on the characters. I'd love to see a video of it.
@Hero-of-WiiU I think @Mk_II was referring to the clear pole that helps Link, Pit, Fox, etc stand up. And I kinda agree. They got Captain Falcon's and WFT's dynamic poses without it, surely they could have tried with the others. Not really a big deal though...
@TwilightV Technically Pit AND Zelda aren't new
Looks like I need to get Samus AND Captain Falcon now...... eventually. I'm kinda broke after preordering the $99 bundle...
@Ebitwomaru Planking??
SO HYYYYYPED!!! But where's Ike D':
I like all of them except Diddy. That's expensive.
@Ryno @Undead_terror
im not interested in this junk either.
to the others that think "then why are you here?"
im here to say "wheres my little samson figure?
Captain Falcon looks badass. Also Pit looks nice.. December will be a very expensive month
Captain Falcon looks the most detailed and coolest. But I won't be getting any of them. I'm just not that kind of gamer. But if they had done something like this during the N64 days, I would been taken in by the hype.
@rp17 Correct, i was talking about those clear plastic poles. Lots of Japanese anime figurines also have them and usually it just doesn't look right. And in this case (amiibo) it's not difficult to come up with a pose that doesn't require them.
Wow! Really nice selection, and really nice looking figures!
Great work Nintendo!
@Mk_II They are copying their portrait in Smash 4 so they can't change the pose. But they could just have Link and Pit have one foot touching the base like Falcon and WFT. And Fox could have just been leaning like Luigi.
@Aerolol Too white?
i want them ALL
Is it my imagination or do these Amiibos look lower quality that the ones shown at E3.
They were never top quality but Zelda's hair and face...
I did not like Luigi's pose, i was going to buy it but know i don´t think so
No Falcon Punch? Fail.
These are going to sell out big time for Christmas!!!
Saw the Luigi one, and all I can think of is someone taking just the face, and putting in a caption "I've seen some #@$%"
I still don't know what these things are for. Still don't care.
@Cyberbotv2 Whats so hard to understand about them ?
Their use depends on the game. In Smash, they act as a trainable AI companion. Depending on the figure used, that character will appear in game. If you fight against him, he will develop according to your playstyle. The data is then saved by the figure itself. Think of it as a flashdrive.
And like i said, its other uses depend on the game that supports them. All we know so far is, that MK8 will recieve an update to support Amiibos.
@Topic
Im still baffled how detailed these figures are compared to how inexpansice their price is. Ive seen other figureens that sice for far more money, not to mention that they serve an actual use.
Ill definitly try to collect them all if only for display purposes.
I won't be getting any unless as presents for my grandson. They're just not my thing. Too fiddly to have on exhibit as they'll need dusting. Lol.
I won't be buying any except my favourites if the stupid support pullars are still there. They look horrible, just ruined the amiibos for me.
@uhhhhhhhh I'm with you. Between Skylanders, Infinity, and now this... my wallet should be happier after the holidays. Although these Nintendo NFC figures are the only I plan to pickup all of.
I wish Nintendo would be more forthcoming on how these will work across games. Sure these can be training dummies or backup fighters in Smash. But what about Mario Kart and Captain Toad?
Pre ordered all 12 originals, and I'll be preordering each of these as well.
My brain is getting carried away here-
Captain Falcon........future game compatibility........no other possible appearance.........except........ F-ZEROOOOOOOO!!!!!
I may get only my favorites, & maybe even use them. I will, however, try to also get the popular ones to save for however long(perhaps years) down the road, & flip them for a realistic for me, but truly affordable for them(buyer) profit.
Samus and Captain Falcon are my two most wanted! Both have a fantastic amount of detailing!
I'd get Luigi too, but his pose looks weird and awkward.
Man, that Captain Falcon cast is looking sweet as all hell. Which is awesome because I've been maining him in Smash 3DS. Day 1 purchase for me
Where's Rosalina? Oh well went with Luigi...
Diddy Kong looks even more like he is carved from wood than Donkey Kong's amiibo. Not getting that one either. I really hope they make a good Wario one or I'll just skip this fad.
@sinalefa I'm also hoping these work from the pack. I'm too old to have too many of these 'toys' kicking about in use but I like the collectable side of them and I'm very curious to see what effect they have on games. I'll buy one or two if they HAVE to open to activate but I'll get the whole set if I can collect them properly.
Loving the Luigi but not sure about that diddy pose?
I for one know that I won't be purchasing any Amiibo's at all. It's just another cash grab by Nintendo.
Nintendo could have did this without Amiibo's where you could just level up your characters and you could store them on a usb stick so that you could use them on other nintendo wii u consoles.
I think all of them look great. The best IMO is the Captian Falcon figure, but the Luigi one made me smile when I saw it.
Like others, I'm on the fence until I see that these figures actually bring something unique to the table. I'm especially having trouble imagining what they will do in Smash. You can already play as all the characters represented as figures in Smash. You can already play against CPU characters with whatever difficulty you want. So what do they do? Nintendo needs a Nintendo Direct soon!
CAPTAIN FALCON!!! I must own you!
@Inkling That would be awesome!
You know I'm getting Little Mac. Look at those quads! Love the poses on display here... so dynamic.
The Zelda and Pit ones look too derpy...
I wanted to get a Little Mac, but he looks too white
I guess I'll have to stick with Luigi, Cap'n and Diddy...those look the best.
I am getting...ALL OF THEM!!!
I wish I could order a custom mii amiibo! And captain falcon is uber-awesome XD! I'll definetly be getting him.
@dkxcalibur nintendo said that the amiibo cpu will be different from the usual ones in that it will develope its own fighting style (it will learn).
@mowerdude well personally I think that figures are way cooler than a usb, and amiibo will be able to work on a 3ds; also the 3ds doesn't have a usb port.
Captain Falcon and Little Mac look interesting, but where's my Zero Suit Samus?!
@Danny429 But don't you see Nintendo is putting a pay wall behind something that should be imported through USB or uploaded digitally from one online account to another. So the 3DS might not have a usb port but you could always use online to transfer your stuff over to it instead.
