I still think it´s a better idea than, for example, Disney Infinity or Skylanders
Skylanders and Disney Infinity are somewhat annoying because you MUST have a few figures just to be able to play the game, most of the times you need at least three of them. But in order to try every hidden level of a certain game you need A LOT of them. Also, some figures only work on specific games.
Amiibos, on the other side, are not mandatory. You can enjoy every game without it. The only exception, so far, is the dissapoiting Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival, where at least one amiibo is required. And amiibos work with several different games, in two different systems. Of course, not every game makes a good use of amiibos, but again, they´re not mandatory.
