September 25: There technically hasn’t been an official announcement, but it looks like fans can expect new amiibo for Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection.
Capcom is at the 2025 Tokyo Game Show this week, and the company has three new figures on display. Specifically, there are three that are being shown off. This is especially interesting as we haven’t heard about any of them – until now. It does make sense as Capcom supported the series’ previous entries with amiibo.
Here’s a look at the different figures, courtesy of the following photo snapped by RodimusPrimal82:

This is what the future of amiibo could look like
Posted on 4 months ago by Ethan in Features, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Recently, we received the rather unfortunate news that the newest wave of amiibo has received a price increase. At the time of writing, the new Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom amiibo cost $30 each, while the Street Fighter figures (which are slightly larger than your average amiibo) are a whopping $40 each. On top of that, there have been general increases for legacy figures and two-packs as part of Nintendo’s general pricing increases, of which you can see the full list here.
This is almost certainly due to the tariffs that have been placed on China, which have gone up and down. If these tariffs remain, we could see amiibo take on a completely different form in the coming years. Take a look at the Tears of the Kingdom amiibo, for example – the figurines themselves look nice, but in-game, all they do is unlock an exclusive Paraglider skin – otherwise, they drop random items once per day. That’s certainly not worth $30 to most players, and we could see that reflected in how well they sell.
