Packaging Problems

Mario's gone bald with stress, Peace has had both of here legs removed after a lava-incident in Bowser's castle, Star Fox had his arm blown off in an explosion on the Wolfen II, Luigi got his hand stuck in the poltergeist 3000, and Samus got a suit upgrade after deciding that one arm cannon wasn't enough. Or, that's at least what Nintendo's Amiibo figures would lead us to believe.

 

  

The images above are all factory defects. If really starting to think that Skylander-like figures just
aren't Nintendo's thing. I have seen almost no defects in Skylanders figures, but Nintendo seems to be messing them up like mad. Not that this isn't advantages for consumers. Lots of the owners of these defective Amiibo made some massive money! The owner of the Samus figure with three arm cannons got $2,500 for the thirteen buck toy, and the legless Peach sold for a whopping 1,000% percent more at $25,000!!! Quite frankly, I don't know why anyone would want to blow 25 grand on a broken toy. Sure, it's rare and collectible, but I just think these defects just look ugly. Oh well. At least they're helping the economy, I guess. Thanks for reading, and stay tuned!
