I only said it looks very similar. If Amiibo packaging is ripped off from something else, then show it to me and i'll drop it.

"But really this shouldn't bother you."

Sorry, but who's getting defensive over this? Not my fault that Sony wants in on amiibo-like figures. I actually welcome it. I love figurines. That's how I see Amiibo's too. Figurines first. Cheap figurines of popular characters.

I wouldn't say Amiibo packaging is ripped off but it's pretty standard figurine packaging. Take for example, TMNT figurine packages which date back from the 90s:

I get what you're saying. This is a fairly standard small figure package, similar to many Star Wars ones. But looking at the Amiibo and Totaku packaging, some things just seem similar such as color coding, text (name of the character) in front of the case, the large character artwork on the surface behind the case.

And you know what, I think it's totally OK. Amiibo's sold well. So it would be smart to market them similarly (if they aimed for that). It's good money and ultimately helps the IP imo.
