There's no doubt that Nintendo is one of the most famous companies of all time. But there's also no doubt that pop culture figurines pique the interest of collectors everywhere. So when Nintendo decided to unleash their oꦯwn collectibles of their characters, and even give them in-ga🌟me uses for many of their titles, it didn't come as a shock when they started selling incredibly quickly.
The first round of Amiibo figures launched in June of 2014 specifically ahead of Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U and 3DS. While each figure was linked to that character's design in the fighting franchise, scanning the base while playing different titles also served many other useful pu🌄rposes. Since then, Amiibo's popularity has stayed fairly steady. With new character models as well as new releases, some of which were from third-party developers, Nintendo has given their fans affordable ways to showcase their love of their favorite characters while simultaneously making them a bit more than something to have on display.
But as is the case with any collectible, there are some that are harder to find than others. Going to a store and picking out your favorite usually costs around $12.99. But if your favorite is one on this list, you may need to dig a little♈ deeper and spend a little more. But be careful: just because they're worth this much doesn't mean that's what a seller will ask for it. Here are 25 Amiibo that are impossible to find and how much they🧸're worth.
25 ✅ Bowser, Jr.: $20 - $30
Ah, Bowser, Jr. The adorable little villain that is Bowser’s son. While one might initially think that putting Bowser’s offspring in Smash meant creating another echo fighter🦄, Bowser, Jr.’s cart meant he had quite a unique moveset.
Maybe that’s why his Amiibo sol𒉰d better than others.
It hasn’t raised m﷽uch higher than the original price, though whether or not it’s been opened is always a factor. But if that doesn’t bother you, you can usually 💟find one on Amazon or eBay for $20.
24 𝄹 Bayonetta (Player 2): $30 - $35
There were a few DLC characters who were given one regular Amiibo and one to represent their alternate costume. Bayonetta was one of them, with the first model resembling her appearance in Bayonetta 2 and the o🐷ther (labeled “Player🍸 2”) looking like she did in the first game.
The first figure still costs a bit more than it🧸 did at launch, ranging from $26 - $30, but the “Player 2” version is the more expensive one. Its value ranges from $30 - $35. It’s no surprise given this is her original look.
23 Guardꦺian: $30 - $35 ⛄
Eventually, Nintendo began releasing Amiibo for characters outside of their Smash Bros. line. And one of their biggest was the Guardian from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
ไGiven its larger size, it launched with a higher price t🀅ag than other Amiibo at $20.
But due to the popularity behind that title and h✱ow well-designed the Guardian figure is, it has risen in value. Pricecharting.com lists it between $30 - $35, but many sellers on Amazon and eBay sell it higher.
22 🗹 Cloud (Player 2): $30 - $40
Another character from Smash to get two Amiibo was Cloud from the Final Fantasy franchise. With his appearance in Final Fantasy VII being as beloved as it is, it shouldn’t be surprising to learn that both Amiibo are a little harder to find. The origi📖nal figure is valued around $21 - $27.
Similar to Bayonetta, the “Player 2” versio🐼🦩n is the more expensive one.
It’s valued around $30 - $40 and features his look from the tie-in anime film, Advent Children. These werꦑe no d🌜oubt snatched up quickly by fans of the series.
21 ♍ Link (Ocarina Of Time): $30 - $40
In 2016, The Legend of Zelda reached its 30th anniversary and Nintendo released a few Amiibo to commemorate the occasion. T💖hose featuring Link’s design from various games could be purchased by eager fans. But they have all, naturally, gone up in price since.
The figure that showcases Link’s appearance in Ocarina of Time is now valued around $30 - $40. This may seem a bit high, but I’m honestly a little surprised it isn’t more given how beloved that entry is and that other Lin🐽k figures are higher on this list.
20 ꧅ Alm & Celica 2-Pack: $3🐷0 - $40
Every now and the🅰n, Nintendo will release a multi-pack of characters for a better value. But if you want th🅰em, you better get them quickly or else that better value will be non-existent.
For the release of Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia on the 3Ds in 2017, Nintendo launched the two-pack of that game’s heroes, Alm and Celica. While the Fire Emblem community is incredibly passionate, there are many more casual Nintendo fans who would have no idea who the🎉se two are. So there are still other multi-packs with higher values.
19 Link (Twilight Princess): $35 - $40 💙
Slightly higher in value than his Ocarina of Time counterpart is the Link from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. It was also released for the franchise’s 30th anniversary.
Each of the🦋se figure’s appearances are based on original artwork from the games, which is a nice touch.
What is a little bit surprising is that pricecharting.com has this valued higher than the Wolf Link Amiibo, which could’ve only been bought in stores with t♐he HD re-release of the game.
18 Shovel Knight: $20 - $4♓0 𝓀
If you’re a fan of tough platformers and haven’t played Shovel Knight, do yourself a favo🐽r and download it onto whatever system you have. The indie game first debuted in 2014 to critical acclaim and has since received several expansions.
The character is so popular that he was include๊d in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a spirit.
That’s a big deal for💯 something that came from such a smal🌞l studio. The love behind the game led to his own Amiibo figure, which is now valued around $20 - $40 but can sell for higher.
17 🐬 Boo: $30 - $40
After Nintendo released figures for Super Smash Bros., they set about creating them for there other popular franchises like Super Mario. These can be used in all types of games, not just their o𒆙wn, and can give players extra bonuses 𝄹or features.
So why is this floating little annꦗoy💖ance one of the more expensive ones? It’s hard to say, but it can be difficult to find it under the $50 price range, even if it is only valued around $30 - $40.
16 Link (Skyward 🐓Sword): $35 - $45
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword seems to get a lot of flack from fans for its motion controls, empty overworld, and that it’s a retread of common ground. And yet, Link’s Skyward Sword figure is valued higher than several others.
Another one from the 30th-anniversary release, scanning this while playing Breath of the Wild leads to boxes falling from the sky that contain items like food or arrows. There’s also a chance to get chests that contain Link’s outfit from the game and, in rare ca🌊ses, his sword.
