These things couldn't appeal to me any less as a game supplement, but I'll probably get an Ike figure to stand with my Fire Emblem collection.
I'm egarly awaiting the release of Ike, his pose for SSB4 is so bad ass.

I won't bother pre ordering, but I'll probably snag a Mario (will most likely have the most use), Link and Samus. Marth is pretty cool, but I'm a much bigger fan of Ike. Maybe Mega Man when he comes out.

I never thought I'd see the day where a Wii Fit Trainer figurine was being commercially made.

Just pre-ordered a few from the first batch. Picked up Samus, Mario and Link. Will probably grab Kirby, Marth and Pit after a little bit.

I might get 1 or 2 of my favorite characters depending on the price tag $18 from EB Games (Gamestop) here isn't awful but I'd prefer to pay under $15.

I've pre-ordered Villager yesterday. May also get Wii Fit Trainer, Fox, Marth, Little Mac, and Captain Falcon (last two from second wave).

I'm still only sold on Mario from the first two waves. He just looks to have the most functionality. I wanted Link but looking closer I don't think his model looks very good. Maybe Samus because she still looks awesome.

The only one I'm semi-interested in from the first waves is Pikachu, but that's just because he was my SSBB main, not because I care about Pokémon at all. I like the fact that he's compact, and he's not suspended from the base by a transparent rod (like Link).

Just pre-ordered 50% of the first wave (Fox, Marth, Wii Fit Trainer, Pikachu, Samus, Villager) today/this past week. In terms of the second wave [when available], I'll probably go for three more, at the very least (Captain Falcon, Little Mac, Pit); also half of the second wave.

First Wave I have Mario, Link and Samus pre-ordered and will pick up Donkey Kong, Marth, Kirby and Pikachu at a later point. Second Wave I'm looking at Pit and Zelda and that's it. On a side note, it was just announced that you can use the Link amiibo in Hyrule Warriors!

Like all Amiibo compatability - who knows! :lol:

It's nice to see that they are trying to add support to every game a character is in.
