Start make the bird starter from sun and Moon.
Splatoon, Animal Crossingand Starfox plushes, want.
Provided they're good, that is.
WANT.
hoping for a Punch-Out!! set with the boxers and boxing ring and what not, I would play with that just because it's there.....if it was : Y
I don't like Jakks products. They are cheap looking and not very detailed. I hope Nintendo moves away from that toy manufacturer.
I wish figma would do a wind waker link figure.
I thought this is the right article to ask - does anyone know where I could find a Fire Luigi keychain, a Wario one, and a Shell Luigi one? Those three are pretty much all my collection needs.
Ill have to look at the pictures first
My youngest kid got that Bowser Jr toy in his Easter basket (my oldest got POP Vegeta). I always go look at the World of Ninteod Jakks toys when I'm in Target, they seemingly have new ones every week. And they may look cheap, but they also are cheap, $4 or $8, so we have several, I buy what amuses me. Will be keeping my eye open for those Splatoon figures.
Nobody can get the Gold Mario amiibo anymore so they're like "make a gold mario!!!"
I hate the distribution of toys by Jakks. They've always been random and all over the place. People thought the amiibo exclusives were bad at first, try hunting down the WoN Walgreens exclusives.
They've made good looking stuff from what I have seen in stores. I'd get that long before spending 200 bucks on a game character statue for my desk. That's almost a car payment.
... No pics?
Man, why are these things always limited to the US? I want a Splatoon figure!
@GN004Nadleeh you mean, you wish Max Factory/ Good Smile Company would make a Wind Waker Figma? Figma is the toyline.
GSC did already make a WW Link Nendoroid with a WW Zelda coming up too. I doubt they'd do a Figma though, the Nendoroids are already pretty accurate to how the characters look in game. The designs of WW don't really match figmas very well. Figma are GSC's line for more realisticly proportioned characters, while Nendoroids are their Chibi versions, and the WW designs are already pretty Chibi-fied.
@shani I've seen WoN stuff in the UK, in two separate toy store chains, mostly Toys R Us.
I got the 4in. Bowser Jr. recently and hope to nab Waluigi soon. I'm glad Jakks is still going strong with WoN. I'd love to see them make more Metroid characters; like the bounty hunters from Corruption and Hunters, or even some Space Pirates and GF soldiers; also a deluxe Ridley would be amazing!
@ChessboardMan i just ordered mine! WOO HOO!!!
@andrew20 Knowing that the majority of Pokemon have some sort of toy, I'm betting it will get some sort of toy.
That gesture from gold Mario's a bit much.
He looks like he legitimately wants a fight.
Even though I've only bought like two WoN things, I approve of more.
It's probably too much to hope for that "and more" includes merch for Kid Icarus™.
I actually saw a Fox plush at Gamestop the other day. I was tempted to grab it.
Phase 1: Nintendo figures
Phase 2: ?
Phase 3: Profit
