With the Amiibo craze growing by the day, and Nintendo inability (or cold, careful planning) to manufacture them at a proper speed has left a lot of people with a sour taste. There's no doubt in my mind 3rd parties will start soon manufacturing fake Amiibos (Fakemiibos, if you will) to capitalise on Nintendo's problems and a profitable market. This ones will not have the chip installed (only Nintendo can manufacture those), but when Nintendo starts releasing Amiibo cards with the chip -and they will- the manufacturers can just sell the figurine for cheap.
If you want a Marth Amiibo, and the only thing you can find is a "Sword guy figurine", would you buy it? Would you buy a Fakemiibo?
