Those look pretty decent. Any temptation to collect all of them has evaporated (at least until the Pokemon amiibos roll out), but I'll still get the ones I want Smash ghosts of.

Weird set of priorities if the only reason people were buying them was for their photoshopped beta concept images.
Do the same people also constantly walk away disappointed from Mcdonalds because the burgers don't look the same as on the menu?

I don't know, do they have moveable parts or are they just stuck on those stands?
They are figurines, not toys...
That's a pretty big quality drop. Do the figures look the same in Japan?
Could just be America cheaping out.
Peaches crown, eyes and the gold designs around her skirt and broach(which looked engravened on ad) were downgraded.
Its hard to tell with most given the completely different lighting and the figurines being at different angles.

I'm not a 'toy person' but when I bought my Wii U it came with 3 skylanders toys as part of the bundle. Never really played the game, but those toys are my only frame of reference as to what quality I expected here. Or they were before they went into a drawer never to be seen again. Anyway, I dug them out again to have a look, and now my opinion is that Nintendo has fallen short on quality here. I'll have to see the Amiibo in person to form a final opinion, but they really don't look good to me.
Yeah, exactly how I feel.

Not all of them look that bad.
Pikachu, Mario and Yoshi don't look that bad IMO.
There are some details missing, and the promos are obviously hand painted. But you also have to consider that the promors are pictures taken in a studio by professional photographers using professional lighting.... while these new pictures look like they were randomly taken with a phone

This comparison looks like CG models compared to real physical objects.

I'll just hold off and see how they look when they're in stores. Never played nor intend to get Skylanders/Disney Infinite stuff, but do the models for those toy lines tend to vary in quality from unit to unit?

Fox and Samus look quite good. Shame about the blue molding on Fox's though.

I think they look pretty good for the price range. Not great, but certainly not bad... Still feel like they should have went with something more simple and cute though. Like those Nendoroid figures, as opposed to trying to paint finely detailed things.
Still wouldn't be top end stuff like what some people seemingly expect but it'd probably be cleaner as figures like Marth, Peach, Link, etc or any detailed human is going to look a bit goopy and off at this price range and style. These aren't something I'd buy and I'm not much of a figure person but that just seems like a safer way to go, to me.

They look very good here. Proper lightning makes a huge difference.

All of them except Mario are impossible to judge because of the depth of field.

Honestly, that Peach McDonald's toy's face looks more like in-game Peach than that atrocious amiibo.

Look similar to me. Perhaps they should be similarly shot with a white background and proper lighting.

I did, actually - but they don't look particularly hot there either. Fox looks the best out of that set though.
Ah, ridiculous overreaction at the quality of cheap toy figurines. Just like being on 4chan.
People have paid a lot more and gotten far worse. Marth's bent sword is a bummer, but them all being like that doesn't seem overly likely and, if so, a hair drier and some patience will fix it. Peach is the only one I'm sad for the difference on, and I'm not talking about the face. Just the painted trim, but then I'm no stranger to paint app budget restrictions.
The rest really look no different.

That looks.. ugh.. bad.. was planning to get Samus for a friend, and a couple of others just because I thought they would look awesome, but this? This is just disgusting.

That's not what a penis looks like though.
I still think Samus looked the best out of the ones shown at E3:
The pose is done in a way where they shouldn't have to add any plastic bases or poles. And there are no eyes to screw up or swords to bend. I have to imagine that Samus is going to turn out pretty good.
I kind of hate that Samus pose. Looks silly and a bit femminen.

They look fine to me. I'll still buy the handful I was interested in.

I find it amusing that Pikachu actually looks better.
This bodes well for my tacky Pikachu collection.

If that's what you see when you look between the legs of yourself or anyone else for that matter, please consult some sort of doctor.

These look good but that peach is still horrifying. I guess I didn't want peach anyway. This'll make my spending easier to control.
