Little bit of strange Amiibo news today, apparently counterfeit Amiibo are hitting the market in Brazil. Here is a quick look at the figures:

Right now the problem is only in Brazil but I wouldn’t be surprised if they exist in other regions too. The Amiibo market is crazy enough without the counterfeits floating around but if these are indeed in circulation, it is going to make buying Amiibo even more of a hassle. At this time, I would strongly suggest that you do not purchase an expensive Amiibo from a third party seller, unless that seller is bathing in high ratings.

Currently not much is known about these counterfeits but we will keep an eye on it and report any new information.
