Oh boy, this is a big one for amiibo speculation.
In Character IDs Noah (2243) and Mio (2244) come right after Mythra (2242); no gap in the group of Xenoblade characters. They also both have the default Variant value (00), not that anyone would've expected otherwise. No surprises so far, but that immediately changes.
Line ID is 1B; which indicates a missing Line ID following the previous newest one (for Yu-Gi-Oh, 19), being 1A. In conjuction with the absent figure Product Code series between Monster Hunter Rise (AX--), and Xenoblade (AZ--), AY--, we can confirm an unannounced amiibo figure series. This would be from a game series that has not previously recieved an amiibo. As reference, here is the current list of both Line IDs and Product Codes (ignore the earlier gaps; those are another story we've discussed before):
Finally, Print IDs are 043D and 043E respectively, a MASSIVE gap following the Deep Cut amiibo. In conjuction with the unknown series explained above, there are definitely plenty of amiibo lining up for 2024-2025. Even filling in every known amiibo currently announced or leaked, we would not be able to fill all 13 current gaps (though it remains uncertain if 0416 and 0417 will ever be filled):
That's only 7, leaving up to 6 entirely unknown amiibo (should the Power-Up Bands fill the earliest available gaps), at least one of which being a figure from a series that currently has no amiibo.
- Sora amiibo (releasing in a few weeks, getting his Print ID will help a lot for further speculation).
- Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong Power-Up Bands (probably the last two amiibo that could realistically fill 0416 and 0417, due to just how long they've been in the works for; releasing in a few months when Donkey Kong Country opens at Universal Japan).
- Two unknown Splatoon 3 amiibo (datamined from Splatoon 3 itself; almost certainly Side Order characters; should probably be announced in the next Direct when Side Order gets a release date).
- Toadette and Rosalina Power-Up Bands (datamined from the Universal Studios apps; don't seem to be releasing with Japan's Donkey Kong Country opening so should be a bit further out; maybe for Orlando's Super Nintendo World opening next year).
*is complete for now. No reason to believe we won’t ever get more Smash amiibo in some form or another!and with that, after 10 years, the Smash line of amiibo is complete!
I'm really hoping it's done lmao I have spent so much money on these things.*is complete for now. No reason to believe we won’t ever get more Smash amiibo in some form or another!

With all the amiibo print ID gaps right now (as visualized in @MondoMega’s spreadsheet a few posts above), I think it’s safe to say that we’re very likely due for more amiibo on the new system. Plus backwards compatibility would kind of necessitate it, anyway. So I don’t think there should be any doubt of amiibo persisting into the next generation.Yeah, if Amiibos are still going to be a thing going into the next generation, I'm going to have to rethink my shelf situation. I'm already at max capacity.
Come on Best Buy. Ship it!

Wish I could do that but I have three cats so I'm considering a custom made plexiglass display
yeah this is what i'm looking like at the moment. the Smash line was the only one I was really committed to getting. the rest of it i can take or leave. I didn't even get the Deep Cut ones (but I did get Noah, Mio, and TOTK Zelda and Ganondorf). The only one i don't have which I'd like to get is the Pikmin one that came out with Hey Pikmin, i think. the rest I think i'm cool with not getting.
Yeah if I had a cat I’d imagine that would make this shelving a nightmare lolWish I could do that but I have three cats so I'm considering a custom made plexiglass display
Aw, Pikmin is sold out already, I hope you got one before that @Christo750! Wish I had an extra to send you if not!Not sure if this has been posted here, but Nintendo's American online store restocked a ton of amiibos. Pearl and Marina, Splatoon 3 squid kids, Mega Man,
fighter pass 1 characters, and even the Hey Pikmin amiibo are available. I know the Pikmin amiibo was really expensive for awhile, but it's available again!
I tried to! I couldn’t remember my login on my phone. Would’ve been cool but I think I can import it for less than eBay prices. “Think” is the keyword lol we’ll seeAw, Pikmin is sold out already, I hope you got one before that @Christo750! Wish I had an extra to send you if not!
It's the Qbby amiibo I'm most wanting to come back in stock somewhere one day...why did I never buy it on eBay for 35 bucks when it was easier to find?
Anyway - thank you for the tip carbvan! Lots of good picks on there.
Fingers crossed! The import is just as good!I tried to! I couldn’t remember my login on my phone. Would’ve been cool but I think I can import it for less than eBay prices. “Think” is the keyword lol we’ll see
Shit, I need to hurry up and get around to playing through Side Order so I can read this without being spoiled, lol.Now that the Season 7 / Side Order patch is out and there’s more data for them we can confirm the two new Splatoon amiibo will be (potential spoilers for Side Order):
Pearl and Marina’s new designs. First idols to double up on amiibo, beating even the Squid Sisters to that.
Same hahaShit, I need to hurry up and get around to playing through Side Order so I can read this without being spoiled, lol.
Okay, finally coming back to this after beating Side Order. But, uh, is this really even a spoiler at all? They had already shown Pearl and Marina’s new outfits long before Side Order on the Damp Socks album art and in other promotional media.Now that the Season 7 / Side Order patch is out and has been dug through by dataminers, it appears that the two upcoming Splatoon amiibo will be (potential spoilers for Side Order; you'll be good to click if you've been through the tutorial):
Pearl and Marina, in their Splatoon 3 outfits. First idols to double up on amiibo, beating even the Squid Sisters to that status. In retrospect given the pre-release marketing worked overtime to try and hide Marina's actual role, it's understandable why these haven't been revealed yet (much like how they waited on the TotK Zelda and Ganondorf amiibo to avoid leaking their designs before they were officially shown).
EDIT: More evidence.

I dunno, I personally wouldn’t have considered it a spoiler at all and I’m a fairly spoiler-sensitive person. I mean, Marina getting an amiibo with her known Splatoon 3 design doesn’t really imply anything about her role in Side Order. It’s not like there’d be any reason to believe that her amiibo would be particularly relevant to the plot beyond her being present in some way (which was already expected and known), since Splatoon amiibo never have any function specific to the story modes (well, besides the extra challenges that can be unlocked in the first game, but even those have absolutely no relevance to the plot). Plus, regardless of her role in the story, I think everyone assumed she’d be saved or whatever by the end (it’s not like they were gonna kill her off, after all, lol), so there was never any reason to believe we wouldn’t eventually see her in her new outfit in Side Order in one way or another. And, again, even if we didn’t, we’ve already seen her new outfit used in the base game.I would say so; they did a good job of hiding Marina’s role in Side Order in the pre-release marketing, I know a lot of people were expecting her to be the final boss rather than tutorial boss; so under that assumption it’d be strange to give her an amiibo over, say, Acht. In general it’s just good to play it safe with stuff someone can consider a spoiler anyhow; someone somewhere is going to see anything not directly highlighted in marketing as a spoiler.
Implying all amiibo aren’t great?! Pfft! =pcan't wait for them to announce Metroid Prime 4, so we can get at least 1 additional GREAT amiibo, right?
They did add a listing on eu nintendo store so I believe it's coming.Nope, unfortunately only Samus, no squishy Metroid
Amiibo theory makes a comeback.Restock for many Amiibos (130+) on the eu store:
