Though some data-miners had leaked the information a few months early, it was nonetheless a rather pleasant surprise when Nintendo unveiled that there would be two new Splatoon amiibo joining the previous three, this time based off of the two pop idols, Callie and Marie. Naturally, if you've made the decision to pick these up and you already have the first three, Nintendo understands that you'll need a place to display them with pride.
Thus Nintendo has decided to make a couple more of those neat amiibo dioramas, just for the Splatoon amiibo. The dioramas are based off of Kelp Dome and a stage for the Squid Sisters, with the second one even having a slot for your 3DS or smartphone so it can act as a screen for the "concert". The dioramas launch on 7th July for 1,080 yen (about ten dollars or seven pounds), and while they still remain Japan-exclusive, perhaps an import may be worth it.
What do you think? Did you get any of the first round of dioramas? Will you be getting the Squid Sisters amiibo? Drop us a comment in the section below.

Shouldn't the ink splats for the 3-pack be orange and blue? Nitpicking aside, I REALLY want that stage for the Dquid Sisters!
@allav866 what about the time? it says 3:29... matches are 3min and under not over... I see 2 errors already.
wonder if theres more...
@Uberchu Ranked matches are 5 minutes.
I need that Kelp dome diorama in my life.
Error number 3: Making them in the first place.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE "I don't like a product, therefore it shouldn't be made!"
@C-Olimar We've all got an opinion. I wouldn't call them diorama's, though it does rhyme a little with what I'd call them.
I'm surprised they haven't made loads of these already - so much more interesting than a Perspex box!
Strange that the Kelp Dome diorama uses light blue and pink colors considering neither set of inkling amiibos use those colors.
Still cool though. I really want the Squid Sisters one.
Looks gorgeous. If it wasn't Japan only, I might have grabbed the Kelp Dome one.
@C-Olimar they are? I wouldn't know I don't like ranked.
@Uberchu They're pretty fun once you git gud at 'em. I especially like the Tower Defense mode.
My inner-child wish we could remove the figurines from their stands to play around with.
Quality!!
These actually look better than the Smash, and Kirby ones...... I'll take 20
that'd be really cool if I didn't despise Kelp Dome.
And as always, not available for us in Europe. :/ I would love to put my amiibos into that diorama.
That diorama stage for the Squid Sisters is the first diorama to actually peak my interest. I guess it's because of the extra display function.
I need help, I am a long time Nintendo consumer and have been finding ways to waste my money, and I believe I have found the next thing to spend my money on.
Wish me me luck wallet
"Japan-only"? Ok then ((waits for Amazon/Ebay to list it))
Ooh those are neat, kelp dome is one of my favorite stages. I really don't have the room for them though, my two shelves are running out of space. I'm super excited for the squid sisters amiibos though! And since I didn't get the three pack I can pick up the color variant inklings.
Surely Nintendo Share price just must go up up up!
@Pahvi Clicking the source link will show you every amiibo diorama is a pop-up diorama.
I want one!!!!
@crimsontadpoles
i know that there are online stores that sell stuff like this that are exclusive to other countries. a friend of mine managed to snag the kirby diorama
@BarryDunne
