Hailing from Utica, NY is another defective Amiibo. This one is a legless Princess Peach figure. The original Peach Amibo is slanted and has her legs crossed while this one shows her hovering over the translucent stand, similar to her floating ability in Super Mario Bros. 2.
The bidding started at $30 and made its way to $405 in two days. Two bids brought the price of it to $4,000 and $10,000 but were later retracted due to being new accounts.
Earlier this week, a Samus Aran Amiibo with two guns instead of one sold on eBay for $2,500 after 75 bids from various users.
Amiibo figures are similar to Disney Infinity and Spyro Skylanders. They’re used in conjunction with various games on the Wii U like Super Smash Bros. (also for 3DS), Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Mario Kart 8, Mario Party 10, Hyrule Warriors, Yoshi’s Woolly World, and more.
The allure of the factory defect figure is beyond me. Sure, it’s interesting – but no way worth the amount of money people are willing to throw. Who knows how many more defected Amiibo will surface in the coming months. A tail-less Lucario? Rosalina without Luma? Meta Knight missing his sword?
