It's safe to say that amiibo are very much a "hate it or love it" affair. You probably gave up in 2015. I don't blame you! But for those of you who are still faithful, I know your inner pain and outer joy. There's still plenty of amiibo to ...

Back when I was a lad, you couldn't release a popular movie adaptation without swamping high street shelves with branded tie-in items. Toys, clothes, trading cards, board games, pregnancy kits, (well, maybe not the last one), but whether it...

Two months ago I pondered if amiibo collectors were still trying to go after every Smash line figure and got a pretty explosive response. I aimed small. Now we're looking at the whole shebang. Responses for the Smash question...

Five years ago today, the "Holy Trinity" was born. I waltzed into a Toys "R" Us assuming that I could pick up every figure on offer, and boy was I met with the fury of a thousand suns and a hundred shoppers scorned. The Wii Fit, Villager an...

Funko: you love to hate it. Although there are Funko figures for pretty much everything (I wanted to prove this point by picking a person completely at random and seeing if there was a Funko for it, but it turns out there is not a Carl...

We've got a Blu-ray copy of Toy Story 4 to give out, so come win it! Toy Story 3 made me cry. Legit. It's really good. But since I don't like crying at movies, I decided I was going to skip any more entries in the series lest I wind up bein...

When I think of the cutesy vinyl figurines that are Nendoroids, I think of games such as The Legend of Zelda, Overwatch, Persona, and other colourful titles full of smiling, fun-loving characters. So it's with a little surprise that I bring...

I honor and curse amiibo a few times each year, and with 2019 winding down I figured it was a good time to check in with the doomed little toys. As a reminder, we've been keeping a running list of every amiibo figure since June of 2015. As ...

I still can't believe there are 28 forms of Unown not only in Pokémon but also in real life, as officially licensed plush toys. I marveled at that fact earlier this year when the Pokémon Center in Japan started taking pre-orde...

"The amiibo gazebo" might be the greatest conceit yet for amiibo functionality. Even if you absolutely hate the idea of physical toys unlocking content, that name has to bring a smile to your face. Here's how it all works in Fire Emble...
