Yes, the toys-to-life craze may have been a fad in the mid-2010s, and Nintendo’s line of NFC figures (and cards) was essentially an experimental side project as the firm sought to diversify and distract while regrouping during The Lean Wii U Years™, but amiibo, somehow, are still going in 2023.

Pretty as a picture.
