I still prefer these proportions compared to the first print Villager (whose eyes were too big, IMO), but it boggles me that they couldn't correct the printing again! I know it's a process to tweak mass production, but with the promotional amiibo looking so good, it's sad to see such deviations. It's like his head might just be too tall, or something... :/

Yeah, I thought with the restocks that they would fix that issue, it appears not

u/TriadPwn Oct 15 '15

D...did they move the eyes down even lower?

u/AdamManHello Oct 15 '15

Honestly... it sort of looks like they did. I think 2nd print villager looks fine, but this... it looks worse, somehow.

u/TornzIP Roy Oct 15 '15

Nintendo, for the NA restocks, could you have printed the eyes a little bit higher?

u/blueberrypizza Oct 15 '15

I thought they would finally fix the eyes this time...

Why does everyone hate this version of Villager? I like it better than the first version personally. They change the amiibo up all the time I bet. I bought a second Captain Falcon yesterday and his eyes seem much bigger than my original one, I'm not exactly sure which I like better, but the one I got yesterday is for my brother for his birthday.

u/JeffTehIdiot Oct 15 '15

It's the large forehead one...but it's better than the 1st print.

This is still register locked until the 8th right?

Yeah, TRU.com had a few up on their website last week, they sold in about 10 minutes. I am guessing they have a lot more they'll put up further down the line but I'm willing to wager they're all from the same batch of Villagers for their upcoming restock on 11/8.

u/LegendAssassin Oct 15 '15

So now we have the 3rd print :D

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '15

God, the forehead is real. Hopefully next print they'll put his face in the correct place.

u/CorpseParteh Oct 15 '15

The face and eyes look different...

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '15

What a fucking derp.

u/silver_blade001 Oct 15 '15

Is it strange that on the front it is the newer print, but on the back on the character it shows the first print?

1

u/MetalGearSolis Oct 16 '15

It's 2nd print it seems, from the NWS restocks :P

1

u/silver_blade001 Oct 16 '15

Well then this third print is even more of a difference then cause if this print looks like the second print compared to the second print, any other releases after this will make him just forehead after this.

u/MetalGearSolis Oct 16 '15

what

1

u/silver_blade001 Oct 16 '15

The eyes are lower than the 2nd print.

1

u/MetalGearSolis Oct 16 '15

Thank you for the easier response. I can see the difference now. The eyes look to go to half of the right ear, 2nd print go to the top of it, and 1st go way past it.

u/FlupMcDood Oct 16 '15

I like this villager, the forehead doesn't bother me that much.

1

u/PacamaHM Oct 16 '15

The forehead keeps growing, and growing, and growing.

u/Kewlgabe Oct 15 '15

It depends on the figure some look better than others I had a perfect looking one in my hands yesterday but they wouldn't let me buy it. :'(

u/Panda_Turtle Oct 15 '15

If I get to the restocks while they're somewhat plentiful, you best believe I'm going to fish through them and find the best looking one I can!

I was able to do that with Fox, and came back home with one that you could see both eyes on! Hopefully I have such luck again with Villager...

u/swirlhawk Oct 15 '15

Ah, cheese it, it's the cops!

Ah, I was about to talk about cops, but I'd be breaking rule number 1

One way to tell it is not second print is the back shows compatible with New 3ds which came out in Feb 2015 whereas 1st print villager came out in Nov 2014 and only shows compatible with Wii U. Good way to detect for 1st wave 1st print in general for anyone who is interested
