More amiibo seem to be getting a restock in the near future. Lucario, Toon Link, Sheik, Charizard, and Marth have all seen updated children’s product safety certificates.

Almost every one of these amiibo went through a new wave of manufacturing in August. The only exception if Sheik, though it should still be included in an updated restock based on the updated certificate.
