My kids finally stopped caring about Skylanders, and now Amiibo is here. The little figure is nice enough- I'm an 80's kid so I have a pretty good appreciation of Sonic, and it's a nice detailed statute. You really don't buy these fir kids to pay with though- they're collectibles and ostensibly are supposed to be useful in games, in that each Amiibo basically adds a very small amount of content to a variety of games. Sonic here adds an outfit in MarioKart 8 and a computer player in Smash Brothers that starts out as not being very good and eventually gets very hard to beat. If you're thinking of buying it to help somebody in a game, think again- there are immensely better ways to spend $13. This is only worthwhile if you want to collect the figures, and even then $13 for a figure is high, especially when there are something like 50 figures so far and more on the way. I'm pretty far down the rabbit hole with these things so I'll probably buy more, but I'm nit confident my kids won't realize these are pointless in a month abs then I'll be seeking then to Gamestop for pennies on the dollar.
