SAMUS + E.M.M.I
Metroid Dread’s amiibo two-pack is a must-have for any collector. These are some of the highest-quality official Metroid figures on the market, and one of the only pieces of merch available for the E.M.M.I. robot.
ZELDA & LOFTWING
There’s a good argument for the Zelda & Loftwing amiibo being perhaps the best-looking figure in the entire set. The sculpt is truly beautiful. While there is no shortage of Zelda merch, few Zelda figures are this detailed and accessible.
BANJO & KAZOOIE
The novelty of an officially licensed Banjo & Kazooie figure is what secures it a spot on the list. Like all the Smash Ultimate tie-in figures, the build quality is greatly improved from the Smash Wii U days.
TOY LINK
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening has a beautiful visual style on Nintendo Switch. The tie-in Link amiibo captures the look elegantly. While the pose is simple, the style is terrific.
KING K. ROOL
The Kremling leader has been all but forgotten by modern Nintendo titles. He’s no longer the big bad in the Retro-developed Donkey Kong Country games. He doesn’t even make appearances in spin-offs anymore.
PIRANHA PLANT
Perhaps one of the more unsuspecting amiibo, Piranha Plant is yet another Smash Ultimate series figure. While amiibo are usually relegated to iconic characters, this is a clear exception.
