Happy amiibo day, everyone! Yes, today's the day that Nintendo has chosen to unleash several new lumps of NFC-enabled plastic on the general populace, including Banjo & Kazooie (from, ahem, Banjo-Kazooie), Terry Bogard (from Fatal Fury and King of Fighters) and Byleth (Fire Emblem: Three Houses). Because it's also Monster Hunter Rise launch day, there are three new amiibo related to that game, as well: Palamute, Magnamalo and Palico.
As you can see from the images below, the Nintendo Life office now has its very own miniature Banjo & Kazooie and Terry Bogard, but what we want to know is: which amiibo did you order?
Are you a serious collector, snapping up all six? Or did you pick and choose the ones you wanted? Perhaps you only went for a single figure, because shelf space is precious? Let us know by voting in the poll at the bottom of the page, and also be sure to leave a comment.

Well, kinda arrived. Will have to collect from post office, was at work when Banjo and Kazooie arrived!
Banjo for sentimental reasons regarding a lost friend, and Terry, my main.
None, but I will get Steve in 67 years.
Umm none of the Monster Hunter Amiibo arrived. They got delayed.
I havent ordered yet, but im hoping to get banjo, terry & byleth!
Where's the "No, they are over priced" choice?
I was tempted by Banjo Kazooie but I'm not a fan of the sculpted fur of these or others with it. Would prefer a stylised implication of fur but that's just me, I know a lot of others like it.
So I got none as that was the only one that interested me.
Got the 3 Smashers.
I might eventually get the MonHun ones if I ever get around to trying Rise.
Still waiting for Terry and Banjo-Kazooie...
I know we hear this all the time but... “come on, Microsoft, give us Rare Replay like you did the Ori games and Cuphead!”. They’ve got to know that it would sell better than it did on XBox. Oh well
Mine latest was Mario & Princess Cat
I mean, Byleth, Terry and Banjo arrived yesterday for me for some strange reason, so technically none?
@Ogbert I kinda agree.
The best amiibo to me are the more unique ones - like the squishy Metroid, Woolly Yoshis, pose-able Guardian and 8-bit Mario/Link.
They really missed an opportunity to make Cat Mario and Peach actually furry.
That being said, if they’d done that with Banjo, it would have been out of step with the other Smash amiibo.
Love them pics. Looks great
We got the Sanrio Amiibo cards if that counts.
I feel like Nintendo is sort of only half-supporting their own amiibo product though. It’s like they’re only really good for Smash. I just feeel like in the 3Ds era, you can scan the things into tons more games. On switch theyre an afterthought. I wish there was more integration with them which would give me more motivation to get some more. I haven’t bought any in awhile because I don’t see a real need other than displaying them on my work desk.
Technically none of them have arrived on my doorstep, but the three Smash ones will when Best Buy sees fit to make that happen, and the three MH ones are waiting for me to pick them up at my local [major video game retailer], so I figure since they're all paid for it counts for purposes of this poll.
I got the Cat Mario, Bowser, and Bowser Jr. amiibo yesterday for my b-day, does that count?
None because lately I stopped buying stuff like Amiibos (premium figurines aside) because they take space + for what it is it's too expensive unless you are a collector.
I even sold all of them aside from the big Yoshi one for Wolly World
Good luck selling those scalpers.
I got Banjo & Kazooie, Terry, and Byleth. I'm a proud owner of all Smash amiibo released so far, I can't wait for the fighter pass 2 amiibo.
I have so many amiibo, but picked up none today. Though, I did get Metroid and Samus this week! Found them together for €25!
I got banjo and two of the monster Hunter ones 😊
Waiting for Sephiroth.
I only own 2 amiibo: The Wolf Link one that came with my copy of Twilight Princess and a Pink Yoshi one I got for like $5 on clearance. I like collecting weird stuff but for some reason amiibo never really caught on to me.
That being said that Banjo amiibo looks sweet. If I ever get another, it’ll probably be that!
The Rise Amiibos of course. They look great next to my MH figure builders and Stories amiibo 😎
Just Banjo and Kazooie for me, I'm not a big collector of them but I do like to have those which mean something to me
Weirdly i got Boo delivered today, but have pre-ordered Banjo but always takes a few extra days to get to Guernsey
I WANT them all but I cannot order the palico and malamute amiibo because, as I've already stated elsewhere, you need a credit card to order it from the Dutch My Nintendo store, and even if I did have a credit card, they're long sold out by now.
Thankfully I got the collector's edition of Monster Hunter Rise in today so that's one of the three amiibo for that game down. And I did get Terry, Banjo & Kazooie and Byleth in earlier this week too. That just leaves that palico and palamute.....
Don’t forget the Sanrio Animal Crossing Amiibo Cards, too!
Only the three Smash ones. I don't have that much of an attachment to Monster Hunter, though Stories 2 seems pretty interesting.
Dont suppose any UK amiibo collector was able to get their mits on the Animal Crossing Sanrio amiibo cards today were they? I've been looking everywhere since they were announced and still not been able to find them.
@Batty5 Lucky you. I don't know if you're here in the states. But judging by the reaction online, Target really botched the release. I went ahead and ordered them on Etsy late last week, fully expecting it to be an issue after hearing the release terms
Byleth and Banjo
Everybody but Male Byleth. No FemByleth no buy.
@gaga64 Yeah it would have been weird to do that when the other furry smash characters have it. They really missed a trick not flocking those Cat Mario & Peach amiibo though!
I think my favourites are the Splatoon ones, the use of clear and semi-transparent plastics (especially the paint tank, which could have been a solid colour for a full tanks), with specific gloss highlights and even some glitter and pearlescent paint on some. They go above and beyond what some way more expensive collectables do!
I was lucky enough to get the Amiibo-pack for Monster Hunter, as well as the three Smash Amiibo. I wasn't lucky enough to grab the Palico, Palamute, or the Sanrio cards.
I didn't realize that was today! I guess I missed the opportunity to preorder, so I better run by Best Buy today to get at least the bear and bird!
@fox_mattcloud They're exclusive to Nintendo's UK Store, I believe. And they haven't appeared on there yet.
Ordered none of them... though hoping to get the smash ones for my collection!
I ordered the Palamute, but GameStop delayed my order.
I care so little about Monster Hunter that those three are the very first North American released amiibo I'm skipping. Feels weird after all these years and like...200ish figures but I just can't make myself want them. And I even got the Dark Souls and Diablo amiibo even though I don't really play those either.
Banjo-Kazooie & Terry for me! 😃
Only reason I got only two today is because Terry had to be ordered elsewhere and I'm still waiting on him.
I just ordered Banjo for pick up today at Best Buy.
Probably just Byleth but they all look good.
Terry arrived @ my home this morning!
My Amiibo arrived today! But it was entirely coincidental, and not any of the ones mentioned in the article. Which is why I was very confused for a moment.
(I got a Bowser Jr which I'm paying a friend to mod into Wendy for me)
I might walk over to NintendoNY to pick up 2 Terry amiibo. My regular store's shipment got delayed
@Rayquaza2510 see and if buy giant yarn yoshi from you in a nano second!!! Haha
@Northwind gosh GameStop is quite literally the worst
Banjo Kazooie for me. One to open, one on card. 90’s nostalgia nerd! 🙋🏼♂️
Both my Byleth and Banjo amiibos were "delayed" (by which I mean, Amazon still haven't even dispatched them, despite it being release day).
I got Banjo once preorders dropped but never could preorder since Terry has been "unavailable" ever since. Now they are all completely sold out. Am I the only one noticing this??
Still on the smash trail so got those three.
My latest Amiibo release is stuck in transition because they were moved to another Location because they close one store before the release date.
Got out scalped so none going to have to try to get them some how.
Banjo & Kazooie was waiting for me when I got home - and is now my favourite amiibo .Quite like the look of Terry, too. MH amiibo don't seem to be available to order anywhere in NZ, outside of the horrifically expensive MHR Collector's Edition.
Hadn't ordered any but think I want the Banjo Kazooie one all of a sudden.
I’m picking up the smash ones later today. The monster hunter ones will be next week, the local store I get them from haven’t received them yet.
I just got Sanrio cards today, none of the other fun stuff.
Banjo looks so good I don’t want to take him out of the box 😩 the box art looks so good too
Also, a Nintendo 64 character, owned by Microsoft, being made by Nintendo. I love smash bros! They made banjo look better than what modern rare did with him.
I havent collected Amiibo since early 2018
I have 100+, but I stopped since they became increasingly more expensive each year
Oh right, I forgot those were coming out. No stores in my area have carried amiibos in a couple years, so I forget they still make them 🤷♂️
US buyer here. I originally ordered Banjo at Target, cancelled said order after they screwed up with AC x Sanrio cards, and then ordered and picked up from Best Buy.
Man, Target’s REALLY dropping the ball when it comes to high-demand items these days...
@NorseGamerTommy Got most of mine before Scalpers raised the price and got most at Retail prices. Glad I bought those missing before Scalpers went bananas on prices.
@Benjinat You don't have to get all of them unless your a collector of Amiibos. And some will never be sold again. I completed every series I could and stored them away for another day.
I was able to order 2 Terrys, one to open and one to keep, but they won't arrive until April 6, yikes! I ended up picking up a third Terry at NintnedoNY for another purpose...TO TRAIN! For when the time comes that we can finally all safely go out and play against each other locally, my Terry will be Geysering and Buster Wolfing all over amiibo vs. and amiibo team-ups (after he hits 100%, of course). Or even as an extra player at a friend's place. (my open one at home would become the backup if I ever lose the training Terry) That said, I admit this is the first time I bought 3 of any one amiibo. With that kind of money I probably should've bought Smash first........I don't own Smash yet.
None but I did buy Tanooki Mario and Luigi both in standard karts with double discount weekend at work, hot wheels Mario Kart vehicles has become my newest gaming related addiction!
None of them interest me.
Only the Banjo-Kazooie one, as I only collect Nintendo ones, rarely do I purchase other IP’s.
I obviously got my boy Banjo
