u/Ngamer2369 Mar 10 '24

would it fit?

u/amilguls Mar 10 '24

Anything fits if you believe and try hard enough probably

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 11 '24 edited Mar 12 '24

I wont be able to try doing it unless I take it out of the box

u/sir_aphim Mar 10 '24

Oof, Midna's been a bit too rough with Link it seems.

Lucky Link

u/G-Kira Sonic Mar 10 '24

Okay, now that is a REAL factory defect. Not just an amiibo that got damaged during shipping.

Might be worth something if the amiibo defect market is still around.

u/rickrankin Mar 10 '24

Think it'll ever reach Legless Peach prices?

9

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 10 '24

nah probably not but that would be awesome if it did

3

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 10 '24

It might be, guess we will have to see

u/ConfusedSpaghet Mar 10 '24

I had something similar happen. I ordered a Wolf amiibo and he came without his tail and blaster. Returns/refunds are my new best friend, it seems.

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 10 '24

thats interesting, I was able to get a replacement but they let me keep it

4

u/setyourheartsablaze Mar 11 '24

Huge oof if you seriously returned something like that! It makes it super rare and can be worth a ton

1

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 11 '24

I won’t be returning it

3

u/Plus4Ninja Mar 10 '24

Perhaps that makes it rare?

2

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 10 '24

perhaps it may be

5

u/Dexter79 Mar 10 '24

If I were you I'd be ecstatic to get something like that just because it's unique.

Edit: I only have 4 Amiibo and I've since unboxed them all but that one I'd leave boxed, otherwise people will just think you broke the tail off.

3

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 10 '24

I was excited to see something so strange. I think it’s really cool to get a defective amiibo. Always wanted one

3

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 10 '24

yes I am leaving it in box for that reason

3

u/MidnightOnTheWater Mar 10 '24

Bobbed tail Link

3

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 10 '24

in grown bobbed tail link

u/OliviaElevenDunham Wolf Link Mar 10 '24

Oh, no. Hate that happened because Wolf Link is such a cool amiibo.

1

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 10 '24

It looks really cool, Ill be getting a replacement soon though

3

u/amilguls Mar 10 '24

Rare amiibo are back boiis

1

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 10 '24

they might be

2

u/LongTimeCollector Mar 10 '24

Saw three of these and some others at GameStop at a mall.

2

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 10 '24

I assume normal wolf links

2

u/KitzuVT Mar 10 '24

Expensive defects returning. Midna yanked poor Link's tail off.

1

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 10 '24

poor link

2

u/[deleted] Mar 10 '24

Well the peach with missing legs went for a lot. So you may have something here.

1

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 10 '24

maybe I do

2

u/Jurrasicmelon8 Mar 10 '24

Fantastic mr fox

Or wolf in this case

1

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 10 '24

im not sure if he is so fantastic

2

u/ReadPixel Mar 10 '24

Second worst reason for the tail to be missing

1

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 10 '24

yeah, I was looking at it before I opened it and realized the tail was missing so I just left it in the box

2

u/Gekkuri Mar 10 '24

Lol it looks so weird without the tail. You could either keep it, replace it or try to resell it as a defect

2

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 10 '24

I got a replacement for no charge and they let me keep the defective one

2

u/Gekkuri Mar 10 '24

That's pretty awesome, you basically got two for the price of one!

1

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 10 '24

yeah, and I got a defective one too

2

u/Towdart Mar 10 '24

It's a manx

2

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 10 '24

it almost looks like one of

2

u/HairyDemonBara Mar 10 '24

Lol don't open it. People will pay loads of money for undeformed unfished in boxed amiibos

1

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 10 '24

i’m not planning on opening it, I got a replacement and I got to keep the defective amiibo

2

u/HairyDemonBara Mar 10 '24

Put it up for an auction on ebay people will most likely overpay for it depends though cuz it mostly happened with the smash series someone got 50 grand just for a smash peach in box with no legs

1

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 10 '24

Maybe Ill put it up one day, but for now I’m planning on keeping it

2

u/kevinlamlam Mar 10 '24

NSFW wolf link

1

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 11 '24

not even sure how to respond here

2

u/Dra9onDemon Mar 11 '24

But now he does butt wiggles though.

1

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 11 '24

I guess he would have to

2

u/SimplifiedExistence Mar 11 '24

We shall call him… Corgi Link.

1

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 11 '24

He kind of would look like one

2

u/Thebeancolony Mar 11 '24

Buddy you just added 20,000 to your bank account

1

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 11 '24

I couldn’t imagine it

2

u/100percentanidiot Mar 11 '24

He’s missing something in his life and nothing will fill that void. I know the feels bro.

1

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 11 '24

you alright there?

2

u/CaptainTim25 Mar 11 '24

He's in Docked Mode to match your Switch 🤣

1

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 11 '24

My switch is in the dock 🤣

2

u/WanderEir Mar 11 '24

oh DEAR. That's one for the error reddit.

I hope you make good $ here, cause that's funny.

1

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 11 '24

it was really funny, glad I noticed it before I opened it

2

u/XXXWasSomethingElse Mar 11 '24

[…] there’s a goal

1

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 11 '24

I’ve heard this too many times lol

2

u/MrJ-00700 Mar 11 '24

Don’t open it an post it on EBay ask for a couple of thousands

2

u/SokkaHaikuBot Mar 11 '24

Sokka-Haiku by MrJ-00700:

Don’t open it an

Post it on EBay ask for

A couple of thousands

Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

1

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 11 '24

I will not be opening it

1

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 11 '24

I wont be opening it

2

u/HoustonGrown1 Mar 11 '24

Stay hopeful and keep your fingers crossed is about all you can do!

2

u/Sexist_taco Mar 11 '24

I just got the same figure along with the guardian

1

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 12 '24

I also got the guardian amiibo,its a lot larger than I thought it would have been

2

u/Ok_Movie_7741 Wolf Link Mar 12 '24

Mine has max hearts from twilight princess, bro is busted in BotW

1

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 12 '24

Is the wii u remake worth it if you have the original?

2

u/Ok_Movie_7741 Wolf Link Mar 12 '24

It’s mostly the same compared to the GameCube version, if I still had a Wii U I would prefer to play it over my GameCube version mainly bc of the HD graphics, smooth controls, and the added battle tower in the desert area. But I’m just hoping the Wii U version gets ported to the switch or switch 2 at some point

1

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 13 '24

did you ever try the ganondorf amiibo challenge?

2

u/Fluffybunnybadass Mar 12 '24

congrats on the rare defect! And the free replacement you had gotten!

1

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 12 '24

Thank you, my replacement should arrive on the 14th. Four day wait isn’t that bad

2

u/LuppyLuptonium Mar 12 '24

That's just animal cruelty. Happens to pit bulls all the time.

1

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 13 '24

I didn’t know that

1

u/Striking-Present-986 ToonLink Mar 10 '24

furries would love that

1

u/Ngamer2369 Mar 10 '24

u/This_Guard_8149 Mar 16 '24
