Explained simply
Amiibo are collectible figurines produced by Nintendo that can be connected to compatible games to unlock exclusive content or items. After launch, these figures frequently become difficult to find and expensive to purchase, which is why their ongoing availability in shops is noteworthy to collectors and fans.
Splatoon is Nintendo's shooter game series where players control customisable squid-like warriors in team-based battles. The new amiibo figures represent Deep Cut, an idol group featured in Splatoon 3, consisting of the characters Shiver, Frye and Big Man.
Amiibo releases often vary in availability across different regions, with some areas receiving smaller allocations than others. This means that Nintendo's collectibles released simultaneously in multiple countries may sell out at different rates, leaving some players able to buy new figures whilst others find them already unavailable.
