Sony branded amiibo style figures which are called the “Totaku Collection” have been revealed online. The figures aren’t interactive like amiibo but they do look similar. They feature characters from core Sony franchise like God of War, Bloodbourne and Crash Bandicoot. You can take a look at some of the figures below.
- 10cm Highly Detailed Figurines
- Series numbered – collect them all
- Non-Articulated Fixed Base
- Multiple Ways to Display
I wouldn’t call these “amiibo-like” figures. If they had functionality like amiibo, ok, but miniature collectible figurines have existed long before amiibo. That’s all these are.
Well, the package design is identical.
No, no, no. Nintendo invented collectible figures and everyone else is copying Nintendo’s genius and innovation.
I may just have to discreetly place Parappa amongst my amiibo collection
}{ Not interactive… So basically they’re just figurines… How is this an amiibo rip off exactly? }{
not related to nintendo or amiibo in any way whatsoever.. why is this getting in my inbox?
To show off what Nintendo fans can’t have, even though you can still buy the physical figures.
That said, this seems to kill any possible chance of Crash N. Sane Trilogy coming to the Switch. Well, let’s just hope that the indie developers come out with more decent 3D platformers after Super Mario Odyssey.
Crash Bandicoot will not come to the Switch
Why?
This game it isn’t announce for the Switch and I don’t think it will sell well because people already bought it on ps4
What about the people who DON’T own a PS4.
I understand you want the game on the Switch but nothing was confirmed for it. Even if it will come, the game doesn’t take my attention since it’s just a remastered of the game that I played 20 years ago
Feels like just yesterday, right?
No
So we miss out because of something you already did on a system you had 20 years ago.
Personally, the game it’s fun but it will be putted in the shadow if it will be ported on the Switch. On the Switch there are some new games that are much more fun than Crash.
Crash is dead since Naughty Dog worked on new IPs
But Crash came back. And are those other games 3D platformers (aside from Odyssey)?
Maybe I didn’t explain well what I mean.
Yes Crash is a 3D platformer but the game it’s the same of the 3 games of 20 years ago where people played it so many times.
I know many people bought it but it’s the same game which is boring this days to play the same games with only HD or 4K graphics
Cool figures. Leave it to SONY to copycat Nintendo. Lol, & don’t give me that “They’re not copying off Nintendo” garbage either. Usually whatever Nintendo does- Sony isn’t too far behind.
Not that I’m complaining. I’d collect these cool Sony flagship mascots whether Amiibos existed or not.
Nintendo was following what was already done by skylanders so……
True but Nintendo did better
||Excellent work Chief Ambassador, now everyone that is against Sonyan rubbish should destroy these things on sight…||
are you like 12 or something?
||No, I am Quadraxis, and your question is illogical…||
just bots that some random made just ignore
In for the bloodborne one
Nintendo invented figurines with amibo confirmed lol
That’s pretty cool. I wonder how long before Sony cans the production, but in the meantime, I have no problem putting these with my amiibo.
“The figures aren’t interactive like amiibo but they do look similar.”
You had me, then you lost me.
You had a good opportunity for an Amiibo competitor and didn’t seize it.
Why is this on a Nintendo news site?
Because…
2+2 is 4, minus 1 thats 3, quick maff!
Lol XD
Youve seen the meme right? lol
Thats the one 😅
So they are “amiibo-like” despite not having the interactivity amiibo have? lol sickr
In terms of size and packaging yes.
Parappa is too thicc
Sony doing what Sony does 😆 copy and paste, look out for the Playstation Swap announcement soon 😂
Sony’s Labo will be made of reinforced steel sheets you have to wield together and they’ll insist the next-gen materials make it more fun.
You can’t copy/paste heart.
I’d probably get The Hunter, Parappa The Rapper, Crash Bandicoot, Sack Boy and Heihachi and they look really nice :)
The design for Amiibo, a figure on a base, is nothing new. Amiibo aren’t anything original by any means. The only unique aspect is that the chips work among multiple games and platforms rather than in a single series. These are just some figures and honestly I’ma have to get the front row to go in my living room right along with my Amiibo. Come to me Sackboy, PaRappa and Crash!
Get the fuck out of here with this Sony marketing bullshit. For a site that is called ” My Nintendo News” how is this Nintendo news???
You can just ignore articles that disinterest you, you are aware, right?
That’s not the point. Don’t create a Nintendo fan news site and every so often promote Sony products. Samsung might as well start promoting Sony or Vizio products. Just doesn’t make sense or in this website best interest.
If they have were interactive, I’d be laughing about how Sony took another Nintendo innovation. As it is, they are just figures for characters I don’t care about.
Not really since Activision did it first with Skylanders. Nintendo simply made theirs work with all games, not just ones in a particular series. Nintendo wishes they did it first.
I think the “amiibo like” thing was to report about it but still keep it Nintendo related.
a bit of a stretch to call em amiibo-like sickr
I love Sony, but they sure don’t have the same amount of great IP characters that Nintendo has. That’s one of the things that used to bore me about Sony, before I got a PS3 and fell in love with games like The Last Of Us, Uncharted etc.

They have the stand just like Amiibo but if previous figures of toys have had it then this aren’t “Amiibo like figures”.
Perhaps Amiibo looking figures would have been better wording.
Outrageously original… lol
Pretty misleading title. These are just figurines, for collection purposes. They don’t have any interactivity with the games, and that isn’t a small part of amiibos.
Just figures. The design box is similar to the Amiibo box, but they aren’t amiibos. Also that Crash figure is ugly
I love people saying that these are copying amiibo, like Nintendo came up with the first idea of a collectible figure.
I’ve already preordered all of these. Silly? Maybe, but I’ve been wanting a PlayStation line since Skylanders were a thing. Affordable, nicely done figures of my favorite games? Yes please!
Apparently some people didn’t read past the article’s title. If they did, they’d realize the name was clickbait & that these aren’t a knock off of amiibo at all. Of course, it’s not like Nintendo did it first since they merely copied Activision. They just took it a step further & made theirs work with all games, not just one particular franchise.
“…copying Nintendo’s innovation.” Bahahaha!
