We all have our favourite Animal Crossing: New Horizons villager, and for the Twitter user 5_pandasan, it's the increasingly popular and smug cat, Raymond.
For some fans, having Raymond on their island is satisfactory, but for this particular player that simply wasn't enough. As a result, this talented individual took it upon themselves to create their very own custom-made amiibo.
Below is a look at early design stages, along with the final product (fully boxed):



Raymond was first introduced in the mobile title Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp - meaning there's no amiibo card available for him. Unfortunately, there's no official amiibo, either - as Nintendo has only recreated the stars of Animal Crossing in figurine form.
What do you think of this custom creation? Would you like to see Nintendo actually turn villagers into amiibo? Leave a comment below.

Is there even code available for him to scan into the campsite or is this purely for aesthetic?
Raymond ain't !*$%. Dom all day, everyday.
@SpaceboyScream
There's no amiibo card yet so they would have had to hack one in I guess.
@commentlife Woah, not sure this is the place to discuss your fetishes 😉
Raymond is a camp site all on his own.
I don't care much about Raymond, Pietro is the best to me. I'm not a fan of clowns, but it works on him. He looks unique and colorful, I whish I had him...
@commentlife I gave away Dom. He's quite awesome, but there was a big fan of him and I prefer to have just one of each species aside from horses, which I have two. I'm saving that spot for Pietro. Dom is definitely up there though.
@nessisonett then where?!
I brought up an idea on another post a time before that said, I feel like Nintendo should give us a social media app for the Nookphone in a future update. We could connect with the almost 400 villagers roster and possibly invite them to our campsites and eventually have them as our own villagers. This would not only be a neat interactive addition, but this could also be a way to combat amiibo scalpers.
@Cartune I don't want to be negative but that idea would make the amiibo cards and going to islands to find villagers useless. It would also kinda ruin that part in which people end up liking villagers they didn't expect since what you suggest would connect them with every villager they want, meaning that they won't try any others that much. It would also affect the longevity of the content for the players that like to hunt certain villagers, which are most. That's just my opinion though.
@Cartune But that would also make Nintendo's own amiibo obsolete, lol.
The fan base for this game is great 👍🏼
Raymond was amazing in Pocket Camp, such an amazing mobile game. Highly underrated.
Once Twitter sees this, they're gonna start hating all over it because it's damn Raymond and all of the toxic Twitter normies that are playing an Animal Crossing for the first time are obsessing over him and many other villagers
@mrmememan
I have no doubt since NL and Isabelle the devs frequently use the word “waifu” just like what happened to FE since Awakening, they want to get this obsessive attitude out of people.
Nice job on the sculpture! Personally though I'm a Judy fan. Raymond looks to be wayyyyyy overrated.
@commentlife As someone who had Dom as one of my first villagers, I agree
@RPGamer Many think games are worthless, but I don't care what them people think. I buy what I love. Many think this toy here is worthless and that the user wasted his money. O well, haters gonna hate.
I was lucky enough to stumble past Raymond on a deserted island the other day! Asked him to move in and he just arrived last night.
His house is awesome... looks like an office
Raymond gives off Byakuya Togami from Danganronpa vibes with the hair and the glasses and the suit and the smugness. Fitting then that he'd be the most popular villager in a game where a talking animal who gives morning announcements takes people to live on a deserted island.
Raymond for Smash?
Nintendo should hire this guy to design their amiibos.
...and this deserved an article why exactly? Tons of fanmade amiibo are made, most FAAAAAR better than this one. Oh, it's for clicks from the thirsty raymond fans? Ok that makes complete sense
@RPGamer
I had an amiibo card for Phil and I just love him. I've also got Marshall, another favourite.
Amazingly well done Amiibo!
It looks like the real deal, if not better
Amazing. Good job!

"Keep it up Nintendo your the best! Keep selling me digital garbage in the form of leaf tickets! CANT BE BEAT!"
@mesome713
Nah I played pocket camp and it was really fun at first but the grind and stress getting all the furniture sets was tiring and extremely time consuming. I had to spend hours completely the events. And the rng was also maddening. That game deserved all the criticism it was given. A typical greedy "f2p" mobile game.
