Nintendo first updated the CPSIA for Lucina’s amiibo. Then we heard about the same thing for Palutena. Now another slew of figures have received updated certificates.

More CPSIAs have been updated in North America. These include the Gold Mario amiibo, Robin, Pit, Mega Man, Sonic, Link, and Samus. We’ll see them back in stores soon, hopefully!
