EDIT: I'll admit I may have reiterated what others have said on the previous page.
The (first wave) Amiibo's are a little worrying seeing their original E3 prototypes compared to their actual models (with coloured stands) It's nice to see, more clear stands used in the later waves.
Also seems a little annoying that characters would probably have been easier to make if they weren't in a moving/action pose. The decision for making look like the Smash renders vs making a good "grounded" figure is very odd. (Captain Falcon would have been better in a kneeling Falcon Punch pose or the "Show me your moves" taunt pose vs the current kicking pose). Also the cartoony characters look better than the "realistic proportion" humanoid characters.
Do secret fighters have these too? I hope they do, because there's otherwise no way to have FPs for those. And I'm still waiting to see Mr. Game & Watch's figure.
A few options with G&W
A) Thin piece of translucent (or opaque) black plastic that looks 2D.
B) Negative space G&W, Just a thin plastic rectangle with a internal cut out of G&W that creates his silhouette.
C) 3D "rounded" figure. (Like when G&W gets a Metal Box but without the metal shininess).
D) Transparent clear cylinder with a laser etched G&W inside (A 3D object containing what looks like a 2D object).
E) Multiple figures of G&W on one stand showing different poses or frame by frame animation.
F) Something holographic or lenticular that display G&W animation when tilted.
G) Some electronic LCD device that displays G&W animation.
I) Crazy idea, just include a real life G&W game in there like Ball.
It's probably gonna be A), but who knows?
(I'll admit, I spent too long thinking about this).
