Update 2:
Nintendo of Europe has now tweeted release dates for the figures in the region.
Update 1:
Nintendo of America has now confirmed the range of 11 new figures for February 2015 in the region, along with an overview video that you can watch below.
Original Article:
In the not-too-distant future we'll see amiibo figures gracing store shelves, jostling with other toys from Skylanders and Disney Infinity and providing an accompaniment to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and a select few games. The buzz is growing for the launch wave and second wave due in December, but we now know what's coming in waves 3 and 4.
The official Nintendo Japan website has listed 11 more figures on the way, with eight due on 22nd January in the country and three arriving in February 2015. You can see them below:
22nd January
February 2015
We'd expect Western releases to be similar, and with these figures we now have the majority of the playable Smash Bros. cast accounted for.
Let us know what you think of these new amiibo, and which ones you'd like to pick up in the West.

Bowser!
The horror, the horror...... on my wallet!
I'm enjoying Nintendo's de facto take over of Sega and the Sonic IP...
That Mega Man is looking sweet! I will get a couple of these.
Im just waiting for Charizard tbh
At least I now know what to say when relatives ask what I would like for xmas and my birthday (March)
Should be able to get a good haul as they are the perfect price bracket for gifts from grandparents, aunts and uncles etc...
At least they are now being honest about the unsightly props used to keep them balanced. I hope Lucario and Toon Link (btw, seeing the figure like this emphasises how short his legs are) are not in too much pain
Bowser, Rosalina, Meta Knight, and King DeDeDe!
YAY shulk. Amiibo just might save the Wii U!
Sweet, Toon Link! Must buy it is then.
@jenkje
+1 this is getting out of hand! I think I'll just get Mario chars, DK chars and some favorites like Samus and Megaman. I'm thinking of not getting Zelda chars now since I'm not really a big fan (although I like all Zelda games).
I need Sheik for sure. Only other one that I want that hasn't been revealed yet is Lucina.
Definitely would get Mega Man! Toon Link, Meta Knight and King Dedede looks pretty cool too! I hear the Toon Link one works with MK8.
Megaman sonic and bowzer thank you very much
Rossalina + Luma! Finally!
I have come to a conclusion about my relationship with Nintendo: they are the reason for my utter lack of maturity.The first batch hasn't been released yet, and I've already structured a budget to buy plastic toys up until March! HOW OLD AM I?!!
nice! but still no ness....or toad!
Think im gonna sell my skylanders to make room.
I will order all of these, some of them look great
MegaMan. Oh my husband will be so happy! He's been very upset MegaMan not being amiibo (yet)
I first thought I'll just get Link. But Zelda would be cool too. And now you offer me Sheik, Toon Link and Shulk - even Shulk looks awful XD
Maybe I'll eventually buy and just hide from my hubby
(and Rosalina and Bowser) Even if I don't use those, I'll just admire them.
Oh Nintendo, with all the money I've given you, what else I could have boguht!
Edit: And Captain Falcon from the first release!
Ugh, why does Lucario need a stand?!? Otherwise, these figures look great.
Ike and Mega Man look good.
Charizard and Greninja please, I NEED BATTLE WITH 'REAL' POKEMON!!!!
These will be nice as long as the keep them plastic prop bits clear!
Mega Man looks really nice!
Will be getting Rosalina for sure. I wonder just how many amiibo we're going to see for some characters. These are all the Smash amiibo, so do we see a new Fox McCloud and Link when their next games come out? I strongly prefer the look of Link in the new game so would rather have a figure based on that.
I really hope Nintendo is working on a game built around these too. I'm probably going to buy quite a few, but so far I'm not really impressed by any of the functionality.
We have to wait till February to get Shulk?!?
What the... Still no Wario???
King DeDeDe!! Yes! Yes! YES!!
I'm rather surprised on the quality of the Ike amiibo. It looks good, assuming that's the final product. Shulk's face looks a bit...eh....but the rest of him looks ok. Definitely getting Toon Link, Bowser, Mega Man, and Ike. I'll think about Shulk and possibly Dedede in the future.
Damn those fugly plastic supports and what's with the plastic at the end of Ike's sword being the same colour as the sword itself. That really should have been clear. This kind of sloppy quality of finish is disappointing but in all honesty it doesn't surprise me that much coming from modern day Nintendo. The figures aren't too bad overall, some are even pretty nice (the few that don't have any supporting plastic), but going that extra mile really could have made all the difference imo.
I wonder if they've all got games they'll be compatible in? Or some are just Smash based?
Whatever, I'm getting Mega Man. At least.
I already going to have 7 that I'm getting on the 21st of this month. I want Toon Link, Bowser, King Dee Dee, sonic, and mega man. I need Ice Climbers!!!!
Bowser looks pretty good! I'm definitely getting him, now.
Toon Link and Lukario please.
Mega Man and Toon Link are mine!
I'm getting ike and shulk, though I will not use them.
Hmm I may have to pick up that Mega Man one! I am sure that by the time I am done getting all of them that I want my wallet will be hurting!
I am without a doubt getting the Shulk figurine. I might pick up a Luigi one too.
MEGAMAN! YES!
On my birthday of all days.
Getting Toon Link. Hopefully thay add something to Wind Waker.
DEDEDE!
Bowser, Shulk, Shiek, Rosalina + Luma, Lucario, Meta Knight plus Pikachu, Kirby, Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong and Yoshi from the first batch. My wallet is going to hate me. Might get Fox and Zelda and Pit too.
Toon Link, and maybe someone else if they add nice compatibility.
Can't wait to get all of them Awesome.
Gotta grab that Rosalina! But where's Ganondorf?! I DEMAND THE KING OF EVIL!
@Thearnaud44 There's a possibility that Shulk Amiibo just might work with the new Xenoblade X- perhaps letting you play as Shulk? At the very least it should work with the port on 3DS.
Definitely diggin' the whole Amiibo thing
These look substantially better than the first wave. I'm excited!
And btw everyone, there is currently an Amiibo survey on Club Nintendo. They ask you what kind of features you would like to see them unlock, so this is a perfect opportunity to voice your opinion to Nintendo. Tell them what you would like to see Amiibo do.
In the survey I told them A) unlock characters B) unlock courses/stages C) unlock new outfits (like the Fusion suit in the next Metroid, stuff like that).
Not sure if everyone got the survey but I know I did.
I want like half of these. Namely Bowser, Lucario, Rosalina, Megaman, MetaKnight and Ike.
I quite like Mega Man and Bowser. Although, if they make Amiibo for Pac-Man and Duck Hunt Duo, I'll be buying them for sure.
Dedede & Mega Man are definitely day 1 purchases.
To everyone saying how awful Shulks face looks, that's anime transfering to real life people get over it.
want so bad.. but can't must save for.. New 3dsxl.
Ike, Mega Man, and Meta Knight!
@JaxonH Omg yes! Shulk ammibo with Xenoblade Chronicles X would be awsome. I made this theory video about the online aspect being confirmed if your interested:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi-K_VhAFA8&list=UUJgWYIcuotJBiGyZ_iT6ZjQ
Shulk! Meta Knight! Toon Link!
Oh my, this is gonna hurt my wallet
Mega Man shall be mine, and perhaps Toon Link. Still need Ness, though.
@Thearnaud44 oh it's most definitely online. Otherwise they wouldn't have shown the chat window and multiple players back at the initial reveal. Only question is how it will work- whether you can play the main story together or if there's a separate mode.
I bet Megaman's amiibo is going to be compatible with LOOOOADS of future games...
I am still eagerly anticipated what the various figures can do in future releases.
Do you think Toon Link will have all of normal Links functions?
Why do they look so...cheap?
I don't care if I never use it; I'm getting Mega Man!
Oh my God Bowser, he's.... he's perfect!
A second Link so soon makes me think that the "pee stand" Link will be discontinued. Rarity?
I need a third job. Next year is gonna H U R T.
Ike amiibo! He looks really good. Though the little extra support coming out of his sword looks a bit weird. Would've preferred they used a clear plastic on it. But besides that he looks fantastic. So excited.
I absolutely MUST get Toon Link, since he's my #1 main.
I may also pick up Lucario, because Lucario...
At least all the stands are clearish this time, Zelda, Starfox, Link, Pitt are all so noticeable it's very distracting.
Credit to Ntinedo for announcing these 2 months in advance with a date even. They might actually be trying to sell these.
@Martinice If you mean their move-sets, yes, their moves are the same, but Toon Link's weight is lighter.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! These are SO much cooler than the ones announced before!! Will buy pretty much all of these ones too!
I don't know why people were saying there wouldn't be a Sonic,Mega Man, and Pac-Man figure since they are 3rd party. I'll get Sonic and Mega Man for my birthday then. They should be showing us the final designs instead of what may be the prototype. The final figures have yellow poles
Shulk... Now I can really feel it!
So far the only Amiibo I'd consider getting would be Mega Man or Toon link.
Meta Knight. Woot.
So will Toon Link also use a pee colored support stick in the final model?
(Sorry Nintendo, but the differences between the first round of preview/production Amiibo models has me skeptical until we see a final model. The fact that so many of these figures still use support sticks is kind of worrying to me - it's like they didn't learn any lessons from issues the first time.)
@ejamer
I expect you probably won't see this kind of thing fixed until they move onto a set of figures for a whole other game because I presume they are now stuck into making any new Smash Bros amiibos all fit with their in-game trophy designs.
Now THESE are the Amiibos I've been waiting on. They shall be mine
@audiobrainiac Great minds think alike! What you said.
Here's hoping Ike retains his quality unlike Marth.
Hmm, the Dedede and Mega Man figures both look like they don't have any ugly plastic support rods... combine that with them being two of my favorite smashers, and I think I have two that will be going into my collection.
@Platypus101 Just imagine all the limited edition Amiibos Nintendo will probably do in the future. Some companies could have rare ones as pre-order gifts for certain games. The possibilities are endless
There's the ones I want! Now should I wait for Olimar or not....
What? No survey?
Mega Man...
Brainstorm!: How cool would it be if they made just Pokeball Amiibos (with every type of Pokeball), with a mystery Pokemon in it, and u could of course use it in a Pokemon game to train it!? But you'd actually carry the Pokeball with u. It could happen. Mark my words, I thought of it first!
Can't get very excited about the Amiibo functionality, but I would like that toon Link figurine on my desk
These ones look really good, actually!
@Jese_1 honestly, I wish Nintendo would buy a controlling stake in Sega, make their games good again... I have been disappointed by every sonic entry for years, the need Nintendo to do a New Sonic, kinda like NSMB
The Sonic, Mega Man, and Meta Knight amibos look pretty sick. I might get them someday just for collectibles.
So I have three months before I need to locate Shulk....
King Dedede and Mega Man are looking sweet... and a lot of that has to do with them being able to support themselves. I wish Nintendo had considered using more grounded poses. Most of those stands are really awkward, especially Toon Link's.
The idea and the value of the Amiibos is lacking but the figures look soooo cool.
Ike looks great (I can live with the extra plastic if it means the sword won't fall off like our Violet D.I. figure's head) and this entire set looks good in general.
@ThomasBW84 And now NOE has confirmed it! Check the images/posted they posted on Facebook and Twitter!
@Martinice I don't think you would get the Spinner in Hyrule Warriors like the regular Link amiibo does, but I'm guessing they'll be some sort of exclusive in Hyrule Warriors that hasn't been announced for him. Same with the Zelda and Sheik amiibos (and Ganondorf when its eventually out). Can't say about Mario Kart 8, but I doubt it since not all the characters in wave one got Mii costumes.
They look a bit funny, but finally Sonic and Mega Man!
This third wave actually looks better than some of the earlier amiibos (especially Marth). Would honestly like to buy all of them, but I'll probably start with Rosalina and Sonic.
I went from having zero interest in buying any amiibos to wanting majority of them.
I wanted a Shulk one, but it looks it suffers the same derp face as marth...
That Megaman looks cool tho.
Yay, I'll be able to nab up Sheik and Shulk sooner than I expected!
I will take Ike for now! Unless I get Isaac for DLC, where he will definitely be my first choice!
Most of them look cool but as someone said, Shulk's face is off much like how Marth was. I love Xenoblade and all, but Shulk is not my favourite so I will have to consider long and hard for his trophy. Unless we get another character as DLC...
Ah that Rosalina one looks amazing!! Who am I kidding, they all look pretty great.
SHULK! That's all I need.
dait... sanic... ias... maine!
toon link also maybe
Wasn't going to get them, but when I knew they weren't making seperate ones for Mario Kart 8 and Hyrule Warriors, it changed my mind. If only for Hyrule Warriors content and that Mario Kart 8 Samus suit. Only wish they had a Bayonetta figure now. XD
SONIC OMGOGOGOGOGOGOGO YEEESSS.
On a serious note, they all look cool and good in quality, but sonic is my main so it would make sense for me to train him
Toon Link, Mega Man and Sonic for me thank you very much.
Why is this being confirmed through Twitter?
Well i'm getting the Ike,lucario and the Metaknight figures.Cause the look amazing.
I pre-ordered all of them (1st load). I will also pre-order all the next ones as soon as I can. Luckely my tax refund and Christmas bonus from work are coming this month and next month Damn you Nintendo!!! (no I love you )
Super smash is releasing on November 28th here in Europe. But I pre-ordered the super smash/mario amiibo box. This is releasing December 5th! Buy a copy of smash on the 28th and selling the one in the box? or just wait?
No Greninja?
@audiobrainiac
Nice! Very good idea. I'm on board!
toon link, mega man, sonic. $45 gone and i can not wait!
I don't see Falco.
These are gorgeous!
I find myself hoping future titles or updates add even more retro characters so we can finally have them in figure/Amiibo form!
Yes Toon Link!! I guess I will be adding Toon Link, Lucario and Rosalina & Luma's amiibos to my preordered collection of Pikachu, Villager and Yoshi.
Still no Kooper or Dry Bones love
I request Larry and Lemmy
Soon be more Amiibo figures on the Wii U then games.
For next years Pokemon game I'd love it if the Amiibo's unlocked the Pokemon to follow you around like in Yellow, HG/SS that'd be AWESOME!
Where is my Palutena!? DX
No Wario yet :/
So glad there's a Rosalina version...
I think it's great they added the third party guest characters too, and not only because I'd like to have them, but as a sort of 'contract' with those parties.
Sonic is basically a Nintendo-platform franchise as far as recent enjoyable games go (except for Generations, of course).
When has Capcom last used Mega Man for something Mega Man worthy?
Now, where's Pac Man?
I still find it to be sad that Bomberman, Astro Boy, and Rayman did not join the all-time mascot mash-up brawl. And Doshin as a first-party newcomer!
Toon Link!!!! Yes, my favorite Link of all time.
Also Mega Man! I may consider getting a few of these now... Hmm
Honestly, I'd love for Nintendo to release all of the characters so I can have a shelf similar to in-game [reminiscing along with the original Smash for the 64, how the trophies are just sitting around on a table]
For me, my mains of Dedede, and Samus are priority, along with ZSS if/when they put her out, too. Those are the ones I'd actually use. But I'd love to get them all.
I don't plan on picking up too many Amiibos because I just don't feel like spending hundreds of dollars on plastic figures - I'd rather use the money on games! But out of this bunch I'm liking Bowser and Toon Link.
