Steve And Alex Will Both Receive Smash Bros. amiibo Figures In Spring 2022

…wait what?

This is bull! You mean to tell me that Alex gets an amiibo but not Fem Byleth?! What the hell?!

OK, this is cool. Never got an amiibo before, so this might be my first purchase.

so Fem Villager amiibo when??

@MS7000 This is probably much easier since it's the same model but with a different paint job.

Still, Cloud, Corrin and Bayonetta also got alternates, so.... I'll just blame covid for this.

These are awesome! I wasn't expecting to get Alex too.

Kinda hoping they will go back and make a FemByleth amiibo now.

The lack of mention for a Sora amiibo felt very conspicuous. I wonder if there’s some sort of Disney issue that’ll make that impossible.

Finally! We can buy a new A-STEVE-bo!

Odd decision given that they have generally shied away from amiibo of alternate forms (except that one wave where Bayonetta, Cloud, and Corrin were issued two amiibo each).

Unless the Koopalings, Alph, young Ike, opposite sex variants, Shulk in his undies etc. are also on their way.

Its just Alex!

I knew Steve amiibo was coming but was surprised to see Alex also get one so I like others were like why not Female Byleth? Someone already said that since both characters have the same pose I guess it was easier to make. Still would have loved female Byleth.

@Otherboard : I strongly doubt that. I’m pretty sure the amiibo is part of the arrangement as was the case with every other character. Nintendo has generally been a lot slower to release Smash amiibo over the last few years (no-one from the second fighter pass has been released yet) possibly due to less demand.

Ugh… the ugliest amiibos… but now there are two of them!

Fine. I’ll have to buy them just to complete my collection. Ugh

I hope they just bundle them for a cheaper price for being so simple… just like Game and Watch. I guess that’s the reasoning for releasing two of the exact same 3D model with a different coat of paint

@Yosher I think I can definitively say that Alex won't be using the same model, seeing how she has skinnier arms, you can even see this in the image they posted.

My brain reading the post: "something something PYRA AND MYTHRA AMIIBOS"

I’m just glad my collection will finally be completed and I won’t have to spend any more money on Smash amiibo. I try not to think about how much money I’ve spent on those dang things…

I'm going full jaded on this one: they are only making Alex b/c Steve by himself looks barely worthy of the $14.99 price so they'll bundle these together in a dual pack and ask $24.99 or maybe even $29.99 since Minecraft sells.

I'll be shocked if these are sold separately.

@Yosher I guess... that answer makes sense, but looking at the mockups now, they are hardly the most dynamic poses we have seen, but I suppose that is a limitation of the characters. There is also the fact that Pyra and Mythra seem to be getting unique amiibos, though I suppose that case is also unique.

@AlternateRT... okay, fair enough, but it's still loads easier than making female Byleth I'm sure.

@MS7000 Yeah Pyra and Mythra are definitely a unique case. Similar to Pokémon Trainer really... talking about the Pokémon, not the male and female trainers.

It’s the same plastic mould all they had to due is change the paint hence why they’re doing this it’s easy money.

Dont care about these, but Sephiroth GIMME!!

Alex, no Olney.

I will say I am glad this amiibo ride is coming to an end. I have sooo many of these things. While I use a lot of them (zelda set, monster hunter set, FE set) some only have real use in smash so I am happy all of this will be done next year.

I've long since outgrown my weeby FF7 obsessed days, but there's still just enough of it kicking around inside my heart that I have to snag that Sephiroth amiibo.

As others have said…if we can get both Steve and Alex, and both Pyra and Mythra, then it sure would be nice if we could get a female Byleth as well.

Why are we getting amiibo of both Steve and Alex but we couldn't get of Erdrick, Solo, Eight or Female Byleth?

Granted I like having Trunks/Android No.17 in my collection, but I would've liked to have Gogan there next to Pac-Man, too.

Thinking about all the money I've spent on Smash Bros. amiibo must be a huge amount. One day I will do the math.

@rjejr japan confirmed the dual pack. Good guess!

@Ryu_Niiyama argh, tablet deleted my post before posting 😝

Anyway, thanks, but I was sort of wrong as I thought there would only be a dual pack but they do show them single as well, at least in Japan. Nice to have options.

Personally I only really need Sephiroth and Sora, then maybe that I can be done, maybe. 😉

I can see alot of "MINECRAFT IRL?!?!?!?!?!?" Thumbnails right now.

@fafonio You callin my babe ugly?!?!?

@Yosher @SalvorHardin
Steve and Alex are not the same mould. If you look closer you can see, that Alex has at least thinner arms (as in Minecraft). But of course the changes are minimalistic.

I don‘t like the pose. Why not something more dynamic, and with a pickaxe? I own two figures of Steve and Alex from some blind boxes with way more interesting poses…

@vanYth Yeah that was pointed out to me earlier. Still, it's probably easier to make Steve and Alex than male and female Byleth.

@EveryGameBeLike well, yeah, she’s just a stack of blocks 😂

Still waiting for my female byleth....nintendo must be sexist. (Only saying it because maybe they will cave to societal pressure).

Well this is interesting, the closest thing to Minecraft amiibo.

@fafonio THAT'S MAH BABE YO TALKIN BOUT
