Which is good, because the figurines, while quite attractive, are frozen solid no bendy limbs or karate-chop action here. A giddy child will surely light up after unwrapping a beloved, cool-looking Nintendo character, and that excitement might quintuple when the kid realizes this thing is like a Skylanders or Disney Infinity figure-it'll come to life on your Wii U!
Woe be to the uninformed parent who hides Amiibo figurines in a child's stocking this holiday season.
