Would you buy a fake Amiibo?

I don't own a WII U but if they are significantly cheaper and don't have a horrible build quality. I would definitely buy one or two .

I would too. Chinese manufacturers have been making bootleged versions of Mario and Pokemon figurines for decades now, this should not be difficult for them. Hell, they don't have to put the chip on them, they could sell the toys for cheap or focus on making them as detailed as possible, changing one thing or two to avoid copyright problems (Pistachu the electric mouse, Pink princess, elf with shield and sword... XD)

Also, look at some of the Fakemiibos starting to appear:

This is a fake Pikachu Amiibo. It's spot on. I'm sure the humanoid ones will look worse than the original, but some figures have to be easy to copy.
