Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Yesterday, it was announced that three new Super Smash Bros. amiibo will be released on December 7th worldwide:

And if you missed one of the previous amiibo from the Super Smash Bros. series, many of those will be re-released alongside Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and will be sold $12.99. It’s not clear which figures exactly will get a reprint, but it’s safe to assume all the most popular characters will get one.
