Update #2 [Sun 9th Oct, 2022 17:55 BST]: It seems Nintendo uploaded a new amiibo certificate on 5th October - titled "amiibo".
The date of manufacture is August 2022 and September 2022. As noted by Nintendo Wire, the time between certificate uploads and the production date is around two to three months on average. If this is linked to the upcoming Smash amiibo, it means we could potentially see at least one of them by December.
Original [Tue 4th Oct, 2022 03:15 BST]: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate might be done with development, but Nintendo is still releasing amiibo for it on a regular basis.
Now that the Minecraft amiibo Steve & Alex have been released, the focused has switched to the Final Fantasy VII antagonist Sephiroth. Masahiro Sakurai and Nintendo haven't actually publically shown off the amiibo yet.
With this in mind, we've now got a photo (via @zaypiie on Twitter) - potentially giving us a first look. One reply suggests it's from the Zürich Pop Con & Game Show, which took place on the weekend. There seems to be a crowd of people in the cabinet's reflection, as well as amiibo below Sephiroth.
Update: It looks like the Tekken Kazuya amiibo was there as well:
Keep in mind, this is just a photo plucked from social media - and we haven't been given an official look at the Sepiroth amiibo just yet. Masahiro Sakurai's only announced it. Following Sephiroth will be Pyra, Mythra, Kazuya, and presumably Sora from Kingdom Hearts.
Will you be adding the Sephiroth amiibo to your collection? Tell us down below.

damn, that looks cool
That's a really nice looking amiibo. Hope we get the announcement of it soon as well as the Pyra & Mythra amiibo.
You know what I’m just going to collect all of the smash amiibo at this point.
I recommend putting this Amiibo about three feet away from the Cloud Amiibo and fifty miles away from the Mario Amiibo, just to be safe.
Oooh GIMME GIMME GIMME! Seriously though I’d get that. It’s a nicely detailed amiibo too.
If that's real, it's going to make my Cloud amiibo next to it look like I found it at the bottom of a cereal box.
Also, $24.99, but $100 on eBay for the 2 dozen that they actually produce.
That looks like a price increase. Not looking forward to fighting to get that preorder.
Ohhh it looks good, and i want the Steve/Alex set, where am i gonna get the cash for all 3 :/
Just wait until the Sora amiibo...that will be true chaos
I'll just leave this here.

Finally. An Amiibo featuring a Mama's Boy.
Sora better get one. It'd be stupid if he didn't.
@Daimando You're forgetting that we already got Pit YEARS ago.
That looks GORGEOUS, will definitely be getting this provided Nintendo produce enough.
@Ability-King-KK the last smash bros presentation made it sound like there isnt gonna be one
The only unreleased Amiibo I truly need in my collection.
Looks like I'll have to get myself a couple of these! Especially the Sephiroth one looks great!
@Bizzyb All of these final fighters will be true chaos. They each have a very dedicated fanbase.
That Sephiroth is AWESOME I NEED IT
Not bad for the Kazuya amiibo, I kind of wish they made a version of him wearing the suit with this pose. But with this attire and pose, it can be posed as fighting against the Ryu amiibo.
@Mr_Gamecube I read that the chip shortage was impacting NFC availability so that's probably why
WOWZA that Sephiroth figure is amazing. I absolutely love how detailed amiibo have become.
Just another thing for me to throw my money into. Cant wait!
Ok, that is one amiibo I want to own.
That’s mildly annoying that pyra amd mythra get their own amiibo but fembyleth didn’t.
Awesome if true. Looking forward to getting all the pending Smash amiibos.
That's going to be an expensive amiibo. But i really want it
@Ryu_Niiyama
Pyra and Mythra are considered two separate characters in one DLC pack. Fighter 79 and Fighter 80 respectively.
Female Byleth is an alt skin and they're not doing those. It's also why there's no School Joker, the other 3 Hero's, and no Shirtless Sephiroth or Suited Kazuya Amiibo. These aren't separate characters. They're skins.
@JR150 but they had two Clouds.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited. Though I'm really looking forward to Mythra and Pyra. Hopefully Xenoblade 3 will have some support as well like it did for the Shulk Amiibo.
@Cheez
That was Smash 4's era when Amiibos were still new and popular. In Smash Ultimate's era they simply aren't doing that anymore.
Seeing Kazuya there but not Pyra and Mythra makes me wonder if they'll time the release of the Pyra and Mythra amiibo with the XC3 story DLC.
@Otoemetry Chip shortage is slowing even measley amiibo production and people still expect a Switch 2 to be announced soon..lol it's cute.
It’s SO stupid that we don’t have a Tekken on Switch. I’d even take a TTT2 port from Wii U at this point. 😡😩
Just ordered it for about 30 euros here in Norway on a pre order 🤤 I don't have any amiibos, but this is the first one I've ever wanted!
@Truegamer79 The people who wrote the lines "I can't get no satisfaction" did not listen to this! 👑
(I know the timeline)
@Martijn87 @The_BAAD_Man @Bunkerneath @rjejr @Ryu_Niiyama
I tried to tag all the people who were excited for this in the comments. But I just pre-ordered it from a norwegian website and felt like a kid in a candy shop. I didn't know about this and to this date I don't own any amiibos and don't have any reason to buy them, until now!
I will send you the link to the Norwegian website, you can use or abuse it as much as you want.
Of course I don't know how many they'll get or IF they'll get any of the amiibos. But at least it's honest work insert famous meme gif

@SteamEngenius NFCs for amiibo are likely to be very low priority, when you've got the banking and auto industries jostling for supply I doubt little old Nintendo needing a few thousand or so is going to want to pay the high price of getting priority access. Chips for electronics are a different story though, from what I've read the supply demand there is easing off somewhat.
@NorwegianMate Thanks for including me, but I'm going to wait until I can find it in the US. My Target had a bunch of amiibo on Friday - Metroid 2 pack, Zelda, SSBU Steve & Alex, etc.
@rjejr No problem, I just wanted to share with you. I hope that you'll find it in the US when it releases 🙂
@NorwegianMate thanks for the heads up. The price is lower then I expected, thought this would be as high as the skyward sword amiibo.
Oh Yes! I'm super excited to get my hands on the Sephiroth amiibo!
