I picked up about half of the Day One Amiibos, and I wanted to share my thoughts in a review type setting, and was hoping you all could share yours as well. Link...he sucks. Undoubtedly the worst amiibo perhaps tied with Wii Fit Trainer. His yellow stand is awful, but what is worse is the fact he stares straight down at the ground. 1/5 stars Yoshi is really cute, a nice size, and well designed. Theres not a lot to complain about except for the seem on his nose, but theres also not a lot to be excited about; hes pretty basic, just like Kirby. 3/5 stars Princess Peach is very well made. Shes beautiful, has nice detail, and is a good size. Unfortunately I dont care for her much as a character, but she is a well made toy. 3.5/5 stars Pikachu is adorable as always. Fantastic design, although is paws are sort of odd how they kind of meld into the front of his stomach. 4/5 stars Samus is elegant and foreboding, yet shows so much power. I think all of the Samus I found in the store were crooked a little bit though, she doesnt stand up perfectly straight, but rather, leans to the side ever so slightly. Besides that, shes super tall, and very well made. 4/5 stars Mario is very nice, his paint is cleanly printed and his facial expression is smashing. Unfortunately his caps shadow leaves his eyes in darkness a lot, and his fireball is kind of arbitrary. I think Id prefer my Mario amiibo in a different pose without the semi-translucent fireball. Still though, nicely made. 3.5/5 stars Donkey Kong is stellar. I would argue he is the best of the entire first batch of amiibo (which I examined all very carefully at the store, although I only purchased half of them). His tie is great, and in a fun position, the detail on his hair is really realllyyyyy cool. There are hundreds of little hair grooves painted and sculpted into him. Hes also the largest amiibo, and sports a great expression. The plastic that holds him up is clear-ish, and non-intrusive. A must-buy. 5/5 stars I didnt purchase the others, but I can say first hand that Kirby and Fox are also great amiibos. Wii Fit Trainer, Villager, and Marth are each decent at best. Hope this helps for anyone wondering which to buy!!! :)
