I bet this one will go for about $7,000!
If there is anything odder than the amiibo scene — constant confusion over discontinuation, rare toys disappearing off the shelves for good — it’s the underbelly defect market. $400 for a jawless Diddy Kong. $2,500 for a double arm cannon Samus. If my toy was broken my first thought would be whether or not to return it, not how many times more money folks would be down to give me for it.
This latest amiibo defect (pictured above), posted to ImageShack by user CreedLover88 is a real weird one. Seem’s that DK’s entire face was mangled out of shape. That or an entirely different piece got smooshed between that red neck tie.
Weird thing is, it looks a lot like my 11 year old German shepherd mix named Hook. I don’t expect you’s to be familiar, so I’ve attached some photos below so you can see for yourself. The likeness is uncaniney.
I wish I went places that sell amiibo so I could scour the shelves and make my fortune on mistake toys like this one, but liquor stores and nail salons haven’t caught up to the trend. That or Nintendo is missing a target demographic.
