Original article [Fri 13th Jan, 2023 03:05 GMT]: It's officially the 13th of January in certain parts of the world, and that means the Kazuya (Tekken) and Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII) amiibo are now available in-store. These latest amiibo releases are part of the Super Smash Bros. UItimate Fighter Pass DLC waves. Here's a brief video of both amiibo, courtesy of Nintendo Australia's Twitter account:
These amiibo will be followed by Pyra and Mythra (Xenoblade Chronicles 2) and presumably, Sora from Kingdom Hearts (the final DLC fighter) will be added to this line-up. Will you be adding these new amiibo to your shelf? Vote in our poll and leave a comment below.

I’ll definitely be getting Sephiroth at some point. Not sure about Kazuya, though. Maybe if they had a version of him wearing a suit I’d consider it; give him a bit more style
Nah, but I'm glad for people who wanted a good quality figure of these two.
I still wonder whether Sora will get one.
These crept up on me. I should probably pick them up sooner rather than later.
The Smash amiibo collection will soon be complete and I can die happy.
The only thing that Square will get from me is the middle finger can't stand them anymore I'd rather be locked up in a cell with Konami. I'd pick up Kazuya if I come across him though.
Probably would've gotten Sephiroth at a point but these days I really barely buy these things anymore. Will for sure get Pyra and Mythra but otherwise think I'm good.
Yup, definitely interested in both. Sephiroth in particular looks great.
I took a break from buying amiibo, but with these coming, FE amiibo restock, some of the Zelda amiibo getting restocked and Pyra and Mythra coming later, I'm definitely back into collecting them.
Both if I get the chance, if not my focus will be Kazuya. My shelf has enough Final Fantasy with the Cloud P1 amiibo. I also intend to get some of the Fire Emblem restocks, Alm and Celica will be among them.
I want to buy sephiroth but gonna hold off for now
I bought Samus, Zelda and Link when Amiibo first came out, but those have since been either eaten by the dog or given to GoodWill. Is there a point to them anymore? Do games still implement them?
There are beautiful. I want to collect them all. I do not have the money.
Sephiroth to go beside Cloud. They're the only FF reps in the amiibo line.
Looks like the Sephiroth amiibo is already sold out online. Oh well...
I didnt even realise amiibo was still a thing, the amiibo section of the forum even looks dead.
My Sephiroth amiibo should arrive tomorrow. This time I made sure to order early knowing that it will definitely go up in price. The Cloud amiibo is like 50 bucks over here, ugh.
Don't really care about Kazuya or Tekken in general so I will only buy one if I ever end up seeing a cheap listing somewhere
"No because they are not sold where I live" should be an option.
I ordered Sephiroth in October, got it yesterday. Looks really nice
waiting Amazon for Kazuya, I'm not interested in FF at all ... even if Sephiroth amiibo is so beautiful
@Bizzyb yeah, even Kazuya
Not on the UK site, so no. Amazon are overpriced for both
I've ordered them both! Can't wait. Should be with me later today.
Just Pyra and Mythra, please and thanks!
Anyone have a rough idea what time they should appear on the UK Nintendo Store?
I would get the Sephiroth one but where do you get them???? (UK)
Nintendo UK Store still hasn't listed them, but I entirely intend to get them both.
Had to pay a little extra (3 ish bucks more, no big deal) to get Sephiroth. Him and Bayonetta are the top ones I was looking out for, so far no luck on the Bayo. Ordered her on the official Nintendo store but they ran out of stock before fulfilling my order...
Didn’t even know these characters till smash
Got too many to keep buying for the sake of collecting. I only get amiibo these days where they unlock content I want, eg in Splatoon 1-3 or Breath of the Wild. I was never bothered about the functionality in Smash so giving these a miss.
I would have loved to get the Sephiroth one if I could ever find a site that let me preorder it.
Once the nintendo uk store decides to list them they will be ordered immediately. I still do not understand why the store isn't listing things for preorder very much these days, it seems so arbritrary.
Maybe its cus of the whole xenoblade 3 collectors ediiton debacle last year that put them off...
Nintendo ever published any amiibo sales figures? I'd love to know, and know why they're so shy when it comes to restocking.
Hadn't bought one in a while but the Sephiroth Amiiibo looked way to cool to not pick it up
If I happen across them, I will, but they're not sold at retail where I am so it's not going to happen.
Got both of them. Looking good.
@Matl The store hasn't done a 2nd wave of Bayonetta 1 physical preorders yet either which they said they'd do before the end of 2022. Probably a result of Royal Mail's problems given the store uses them for delivery.
My friend got me these for Christmas and my birthday, I'm just waiting for them to arrive!
I grabbed a Sephiroth for me and a second for a friend. That went easier than expected.
I’m torn b/c I REALLY want Sephiroth on my shelf next to Cloud BUT my oldest kid bought it for my youngest kid for their birthday tomorrow and I really don’t think we need 2. My youngest goes off to college in the fall, hoping they leave it on my shelf w/ the other 40 or 50, haven’t counted in awhile.🤷🏻♂️
@MoogleMuffins I'm waiting on the UK store as well because I refuse to let Amazon get away with price gouging, I don't get why they're dragging their heels though?
Just reserved for pickup one for me and one for my daughter at Target!
My Sephiroth amiibo actually arrived today already and it looks absolutely gorgeous. Definitely my favourite amiibo out of the ones that I own
Great more plastic.
Got Sephiroth in the mail and will pick up kazuya after work.
right now i want info on mythra and pyra amiibos want to snatch them up asap.
veni veni venias
ne me mori facias
Just picked up one of each for msrp at my local target 😁
@gaga64 @MoogleMuffins @Bunkerneath @RupeeClock @Matl I checked the UK store yesterday afternoon and they weren't listed, however checking just now shows them as out of stock, how is this store so effing incompetent?! I have no faith I'll manage to get Pyra & Mythra knowing how popular they are and how ridiculous trying to buy anything from this "shop" is 🤦🏼♂️
@Otoemetry
Gah, I've been actively monitoring their site for the listing too.
I have no faith in the Nintendo UK store as of late either, not with their handling of the Xenoblade 3 collector's editions or Bayonetta 1 physical release. They aren't even dispatching notification emails of new availability!
Refresh the UK store, just went live.
@Otoemetry
An update! Just as I was complaining, the item actually went live for order, along with Kazuya!
So, thank you! You helped me to secure the order.
@Otoemetry Just got my Sephiroth Amiibo, didnt even notice it went live until I got your message so THANK YOU!! But couldnt use my credit card, it kept coming up with an error, but my debit card did work. That site is just so useless.
@Otoemetry check again, I just managed to order them both from there.
Thanks for letting me know they’d been added!
@Otoemetry thanks for letting me know. Managed to get both of them. I genuinely forgot to keep checking today, so I would have missed out if I hadn't seen your message.
Holy CRAP, someone on Amazon UK is trying to sell the Sephiroth Amiibo for £49.99 already
Only Kazuya available on Amazon UK at the moment
Also the original Cloud player 1 is on Amazon UK for £40!!!?
@RupeeClock @Bunkerneath @gaga64 @MoogleMuffins oh I'm so relieved, we all succeeded against the scalpers! Let's hope @Matl gets chance to order before they sell out. Eff sake MNS why do you have to be this way 🤦🏼♂️
@Bunkerneath that's nothing, I saw one on eBay for £75. Very reminiscent of the Xenoblade 3 collectors edition going for £200 shortly after selling out on the UK store for only £30 a pop.
@Otoemetry Hoping they dont make the delivery note for Royal Mail and never give the package to them, and then send out a "replacement" which is never logged with Royal Mail, which they "tried" to deliver and then was "sent back to the warehouse" and therefore "had" to give me a refund as they tried twice.
Like they did with my two N64 controllers (which i still have not got and I'm not paying the eBay prices for)
Been burned by My Nintendo Store SO MANY TIMES, but if its the only place go to get exclusives....
I really dont care about Kazuya. But just like Steve, I will get him to have the full Smash collection.
Bring on Sora now!
If only we could use the Sephiroth Amiibo in FFVII: Crisis Core Reunion to unlock Sephiroth's Masamune for Zack. That would be cool.
I managed to find the Sephiroth amiibo in a store, but not Kazuya. I'll track him down before long.
Thanks for the heads up, snagged a Sephiroth in time.
Got Sephiroth. Not really interested in Kazuya but I couldn't find anywhere else with open pre orders of Sephiroth before launch.
@Bunkerneath I feel your pain, I truly do. I'm sure I've told you this before but when they first launched (after shutting down the perfectly functional but also awful service the Hut Group ran - the official Nintendo store UK) their systems were so bad they couldn't accept my flat number in the address section, so I had two orders sent back to them despite following their advice of putting my flat number in the last name field(!) which of course did not work. Then they were refusing my card for some unfathomable reason, they really are totally incompetent.
@Otoemetry managed to snag them! Saw a tweet during my brief work break, only just seen your updates here - thanks for that!
5 hours in and still in stock.
I guess the My Nintendo Store has 5 million of them.... XD
@Angelic_Lapras_King
What the heck were they doing only listing them today when the street date was January 13th?
@RupeeClock No idea. Sometimes that store can be odd, other times it can be good like apparently my amiibo's arriving tomorrow. Not the first time I've had 24 hours delivery either.
@Angelic_Lapras_King @RupeeClock I'm convinced it's all in an effort to avoid the meltdown over pre-ordering something like what happened with the Xenoblade 3 collectors edition, they seem to be doing better with stock levels lately (with amiibo anyway) so perhaps they feel it's better to avoid the chaos of pre-orders entirely and just shadow drop things like this?
It took a day, but the Sephiroth amiibo is sold out now.
I'm glad I got my order in yesterday, my amiibo arrived just this morning.
Got mines delivered today from DPD. Guess they are using them to be less reliant on Royal Mail.
I love the details on it. You can clearly see how they went from the OG amiibo being basic to this.
