Boy howdy I am glad I did not buy into this insane bullshit that I have not seen since beanie babies. Grown men losing their poo poo over plastic statues of videogame characters who are well over 20 years sold.


It has provided many hours of comedy of people ruining their lives and their families just in the pursuit of statues that they don't even own the games of in most cases. I cannot wait for the string of divorces and a sad man has to make the heartbreaking decision of having to part with his Ness Amiibo in order to keep his Shulk one.



These things are going to be going for a dollar next year at Gamestop.

tbh the fact that they have some sort of utility with a massively popular game that probably isn't gonna die out soon, means they're gonna stick around longer than beanie babies prob

which sucks because they're dumb and for gay babies

If you plug the Taint Reaper amiibo into your rear end in a top hat it transmits your poo poo directly into the Wii U thread
