A Closer Look at Xenoblade Figures Amiibo

A lot of the figures you can buy in the real world that represent xenoblade characters are actually amiibo, which feature NFC chips that interact with Nintendo Switch games using near field communication. These interactions can range from unlocking timed demos of classic NES and SNES titles to providing extra abilities in the game. Some amiibo even come with a special tin case that lets you display them with their original artwork alongside your collection of toys.

Most amiibo are compatible with any Xenoblade Chronicles game, but a few have unique interactions when scanned in certain ways. This includes the Shulk amiibo, which can be used to unlock items in the Jukebox and Model Viewer. It can also be scanned in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 to unlock the Monado weapon attachment, which provides a cosmetic skin for the swordfighter class’ Veiled Sword. This is a one-time unlock, and it doesn’t affect the stats of the weapon itself.

Another Xenoblade Chronicles 3 amiibo that unlocks something different is the Mythra amiibo, which was released in collaboration with Monolith Soft. It’s the only amiibo that can be scanned to reveal Pneuma, Pyra and Mythra’s ascended form in the DLC Spirit Board. Pneuma is a Legend-class spirit, similar to the Monado, and she’s an amazing character in her own right – she’s a highly mobile and powerful female warrior who’s a joy to play as.

Similarly, the Mythra amiibo can be scanned in Xenoblade 3 to unlock the Pneuma armor set for all of the playable characters. This is a great addition to any player’s collection, and it’s definitely one of the coolest looking Xenoblade Chronicles 2 amiibo to date.

The Eunie figma first showed up at WonHobby 38 as an unpainted prototype, but Good Smile Company has now provided us with a closer look at the painted version. The finished product is a beautiful rendition of the character, and it’s clear that GSC went the extra mile to make this figure shine. She’s incredibly detailed and comes with her Gunrod weapon, complete with interchangeable gun barrel pieces for plenty of posing options.
