Look in awe, the money people spend in that thread is sometimes staggering.
Cheers, will examine thoroughly when I'm home from work!
The majority of posts discuss female Anime figures, but feel free to bring up male/western/comics/movie/game figures. From Happy Meal toys to mega expensive statues.

OOT Ganondorf that we saw was definitely 2.5", maybe he got pushed back and we will get OOT in a later wave.
Or they could have figured OOT made more sense in their priority scale.
I expect SS Zelda in 4" W2.
Though i'd love it in 4" some Hyrule Warrior figures in the 2.5" line would be nice.
Wonder what will be the next 6" figures,
WW Link in the 2.5 line dashed my hope of a Link with the King of Red Lions.
I can already picture some poor kid excitedly looking to buy his Link Amiibo, and a not-so smart clerk selling them one of these instead, ending in disappointment and frustration when the kid comes back for an exchange and the actual amiibos are now sold out.
Thanks very much you uncaring clerk from TRU!

But the Link figure is much rarer than the amiibo, which definitely won't sell out. It's also $3 cheaper, so win/win.
Plus the kid will probably get both figures anyway because mom doesn't know any better.

So does Link. I think it's the hair or maybe the mouth? Damn.

I finally managed to find Link and Wario - both at the same store no less!
I'm definitely going to get these when they come out, but I would've preferred to see the Pikmin release in 2-packs or something considering how simplistic they are (~$3.99 for one Red Pikmin is a bit much, IMO).

Ganon's cheesy grin is killing me
But Olimar (and maybe Cranky) will be mine!

Link and Ganon should be coming in new shipments of W1 2.5" any day now(similar to Wario in 4").
All others are full wave 2 which will be Jan-Feb.

Man I love the look of the Zelda figures' boxart.
Think its the angle, he looks better in the boxed images.
Also the final images don't seem to have the bad gloss either.
These are $4 and more statue like than the $8 4" figures.
You can almost buy 4 for the price of 1 amiibo.

Between all of these and the future waves of Amiibos, I'm going to be spending an immense amount of money on Nintendo toys next year, haha.
Yay, Metroid Prime 2 Varia Suit!

Im amazed at no Zelda in 4 waves of the 4".
Also 6" line Ganon and Skull kid while the scaled Link is SS until the W4 version.

These will be day 1, will be interesting to see what they do with the figure packs for the microsets.
We might see characters like Midna, Impa, Shiek, Ruto eventually.

Holy shit. These are horrible.
I'm considering Dorf for comedic value
So are Amiibos, but nobody seems to have a problem buying those.
It's hilarious comparing him to the Windwaker HD figurine.

Prototypes, unlike Nintendo's fake out with the Amiibo the final figures(besides Ganon's face) look better

man these got nothing on my amiibos
What's wrong with Ganon's face?
Ignoring Ganonderp, I don't know what's going on with that metroid, but I think I want it.

Still haven't found Bowser although I got the large DK while looking for amiibos.
These look good for how cheap they are and are meant for kids to play with. The figures barely stand on their own for displaying.

Found a lone Windwaker Link sitting in front a ton of Diddy/Donkey Kong figures. Asked if they had any more in the back, but they said everything was on the shelf.
It appears that Gannon and Link are the only new additions to the original wave, replacing Wario and Waluigi. It's marked series 1-2, so I imagine we'll see another revision or two over the coming months before wave 2.
Not a fan of how they're doing it, but at least there's no shortage of any of the figures anymore-- seems like they got stock just right with at least 3-4 of every figure of all sizes. Hopefully that means future waves won't include elusive figures either.

Final figures looking pretty good
Think Samus looks better without the gloss, her boxart looks so good.

"Pixel Dan" Eardley posted a video yesterday on these figures.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wi93itkwUI
It shows off the captain Olimar figure
The metroid figure
The Ganondorf figure
And finally the mega 3+ foot Link figure
In the interview they also confirm an 8-bit 4 inch toy line or the classics like Link, Mario, and DK
