Nintendo Amiibo Look a Bit Different in Final Production vs. Advertised
- Thread starter Avallon
- Start date
You're welcome. Good luck!
This is a forum full of members who have sharp enough eyes to notice differences in resolution and complains when work in progress marketing looks different from the final product but now we have people seeing no difference other than lighting or saying it was expected that these figures would look different in mass production.

Build quality was my main concern and it looks like it wasn't unfounded. Link and Marth were the ones I wanted the most of the initial batch and they look the worst (aside from Peach). Oh well, money saved.

Had no idea nintendo was gonna do a display for these wonder how much they gonna put into amiibo
fabricated backlash

Because obviously those are the same people, or that both situations are in any way comparable.
Come on, don't be dense.

Comparing them like this is like judging a game's resolution from a bad quality YouTube video. I'll wait until a decent photographer gets these figurines and shows us less blurry pics.

They just had one job. I mean, seriously, how difficult could it be to make a good Kirby figurine?

As long as you don't put the 2nd group in the same basket as the 1st then it's really normal lol
Explain to me how they're not comparable. You have early marketing tools in both cases that look vastly different from and are lower quality than the final product.
I'll grant that there could be different groups of people, but I feel like I've seen some familiar faces.

All I see is the typical prototype to production difference. Could have been worse.

And now he looks at the ground instead of in front of him...
Will buy anyway: Link, Fox, Pit, Samus and Villager.

Not always, just look at GI Joe and Star Wars figures from conventions.
Hand painted prototypes look like shit sometimes compared to the samples and final figures.
I'm failing to see how these are awful.
I see the differences in the prototypes to the final product, but they still look nice to me. I can understand the disappointment, but there will always be a drop in quality from a prototype to a mass produced product in some way. I think the percentage quality drop in this isn't as high as it could be, though. Which is good.

In reality, the meat patties are one on one side and one at the other. The top bun is messed up and there's a lot of sauce and salad on the side of the sandwich. LOL

I love the look of the Amiibo better than those AC figures.

Just please Nintendo, for fucks sake, don't screw up the Rosalina, Pit, Pittoo, and Palutena figures. I require them.

I thought we were discussing build quality and not artstyle...
Do you really have to be that guy?
That yellow piss stand is disgusting. I would never buy any of the ones requiring any sort of support, and I don't understand why they didn't just give them a simpler pose instead to avoid ugly support plastic.
Other than that the downgrade was to be expected. Peach seems to have been affected the most.

Someone has to point that the arguments used to defend the bad quality of the figurines are laughable.

There's probably other things you have to take into consideration rather than just looking at the prices.
1. No there doesn't
2. A majority of the arguments being given are legit factors in play
3. You're doing more work for your agenda then the people you're calling out.
Kirby and Peach were the two I ordered, so I'm a little disappointed those seem to have been hit.
...but this one especially cracks me up. Surely someone HAD to have noticed that looked really wrong. Even clear plastic would have been better.

The point of the thread is the quality of the figurines. If they sell 10x more or if they have awesome artstyle is quite irrelevant, if you ask me.

I get that they're trying to add colored shapes to match the Amiibo logo coloring, but seriously, just make them clear. If you think kids aren't going to notice the giant yellow pillar on Link and not make fun of it, urine the wrong business.

Not irrelevant at all.. its a reason why Nintendo could cheapen out on quality. And its not about artstyle its what the amiibos are mario, peach, donkey kong. Those brands alone are value props.

What factors in play? Lighting? Lighting dosn't have anything to do with the lack of detail and cheap painting, or Kirby eyes not even properly aligned.
The fact other prototypes dosn't met the quality of the actual product, when has been pointed is not always the case? The price when other similar priced products have better quality?
Yeah, all laughable.
Paint variances are to be expected really for that price. Peach is the one that actually has a different expression, which is disappointing. And the yellow Link support is an odd choice.
Of course differences between advertised and actual products aren't totally foreign with more expensive figures either.
Cancelling Peach, but keeping Pikachu, Kirby, Samus because those look fine. Just hoping I don't get figures which shouldn't have passed QA.
