Title: Amiibo - prints, reprints and rereleases Post by: Raidou on September 09, 2015, 07:51:41 AM I have been recently adding EUR/ANZ amiibo variants to the database whenever my curiosity overwhelms my budgeting skills, which includes variations of Rosalina and Shulk with -C1 part numbers on the rear card. I labeled these variations as "First Revision" because I couldn't think of anything better (and I really did try). This has since been changed "First Revision" to "Reprint", which, unfortunately actually makes thing more confusing - at least for the European releases. Rather than constantly edit DB entries or PM staff members, it seems best to present what I know so far for public consumption.
For amiibo from the first 4 waves, there can be up to three different releases (not two):
The annoying part: some amiibo have both C0 Reprints AND C1 versions (eg. Shulk, Rosalina), some went straight to C1 (eg. Villager, as seen in Dennis Fleaman's video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=jUwKO9QFQeE#t=368)), and many have reprints but no C1 version (eg. Samus). So far I have identified the following amiibo with C1 versions (and known differences):
That's all I know so far. Feel free to chime in about different regions/amiibo.

With figurines like these, keeping track of every package change is unnecessary and we should just track changes to the figure itself.

The 8-bit Mario amibo uses a -C2 card. Whereas the -C0 showed the Wii U Game Pad, the -C1showed the GamePad and the New Nintendo 3DS, the -C2 now has the 3ds NFC reader. So we have a 4th release type:
