Custom amiibo have become a growing craze since shortly after the launch of Nintendo's NFC figurines, and have ranged from simple paint-jobs to full-blown model changes. It's impossible to keep track of everyone's creations, but Insomniac Games' Environment Artist Bryan Renno has joined the party and has certainly caught the attention of many.
Fans of the EarthBound/Mother series will be happy to see Ness' comrades Jeff and Paula make the cut as Renno's first available figures on his Etsy store, both of which come complete with full packaging. He's even gone a step further and shown-off two prototype custom amiibo, that being Poo (from EarthBound/Mother once again), and a Super Smash Bros. Brawl-inspired Pokémon Trainer Red (complete with shoulder-inhabiting Pikachu).
Are you a fan of custom amiibo, and if so, what are some of the best you've come across? Have you made any of your own? Sound off below!

These are neat; I would probably get a Red amiibo, if it came out.
Aw...I want these, but I'm not sure about the cost. Then again, he obviously put a lot of work into these.
Edit: Also, which amiibo characters are these, out of curiosity? I assume that Paula is Peach.
Edit 2: Nevermind, I just checked: I was right about Paula, and Jeff is Link/Toon Link.
I'd really like for a Porky/Pokey amiibo to me made, too...
I'm glad those aren't official products. If I can't for the life of me find Ness at a reasonable price, imagine the rest of the gang.
Hey Reggie! Wtf are you doing out there at NOA! Wake the f*** up you m************! Get the finger out of your a**! W***** ******* ***** ! Hope you can read that you blind m************!!!!!!! No wonder nintendo is a distant third and probably always will be ! It's historical! Its hilarious!
@Acein210 JESUS! Calm down there, buddy!
@NintendoFan64 I will calm down when Nintendo stops ruining lives!
@Acein210 Don't you think you're over-reacting a bit? I mean, yeah, they can pi$$ people off at times (and that's coming from a fan), but I wouldn't say they're "ruining lives". I mean, if something they do ruins someone's life, then that person is clearly investing too much time into the company. Then again, it's entirely possible that you're an Xbox/Sony/PC Master Race fanboy that's trolling, so...
@Acein210 well if your life is ruined I guess you better end it. So long.
@NintendoFan64 Ignore him, he complains and overreacts on several articles. Probably trolling at this point.
@Acein210 lol if this was Miiverse then you would have got a condescending warning by now.
The feet mark where they pulled the actual Amiibo figure off is atrocious looking and kind of ruins the image of these.
I'm crying... I need one... I'm actually going to be Ness for Halloween, so this is pretty freaking coincidencal.
@WaddleDeeWeegee Resist temptation like I am!...Failing to resist! @faint Well that's...dark.
@NintendoFan64
I think @faint's response was warranted.
you're right though we don't know who won the ballot
Is wave-waiting a new Melee tech? I've never heard of it before. Will it drastically effect the metagame?
They probably should've just made their own base considering how obvious you can see the remains of the previous amiibo on that stand and the fact they aren't recognized as Jeff and Paula anyways so it wouldn't matter if you couldn't scan them.
My face went white for a moment at the sight of that image. Dangit NL!
Very cool.
Oh wow! That's incredible work! He even flocked them.
These look really cool! Hopefully Nintendo will make their own versions one day.
