Dont worry, there are people out there thinking you are a grade "A" weirdo and a loser too, but I bet you dont care.... right? :p

Why do kids buy toys, man?

Swords look fucking garbage.

Coins I coud get down with, especially since their functionality is so limited, but apparently miyamoto said he's looking into doing cards, that would be great as well.

Yeah I was so stoked to hear about the cards, would be much better than these figures

Because these things are going to be so popular, they have to mass produce them. There is just no way to get great quality if you plan on producing these things as fast as Nintendo is.

Again,.. Yall are still overacting... Its about the lighting and etc, that made the E3 looks good. Youll just need to realize it.. -__-"

Wasn't that clear? Your Big Mac also looks nothing like those shiny PR shots. It's normal. High Quality Statues are expensive, because you have to make them by Hand. I paid 599 € for a Lara Croft Statue some years ago. 15 €? That's Peanuts. It's literally the lowest price you will see for such things. And considering that Price Tag, they look quite alright. Of course, Quality of the materials is also important. But I can't judge that by a picture alone. But after all, Amiibos aren't collectors items. They are meant for kids who play with them. Extremely high quality would be a waste in this case.

I'm not buying them anyway, because I don't have a Wii U and barely use my 3DS.

They're cute. I have one of these among others.

Also, pictures don't always do a figure justice: I've purchased figures in the past where the actual product didn't look as good as it does in person. I'll need to get a good look at one of these figures before deciding on buying one.
