E3 2016: Display Your Amiibo In Style With These Nintendo Themed Stands By PDP

As anyone who has been caught up in the Amiibo craze can tell you, after spending a small fortune on all the Nintendo themed figurines, it becomes hard to store all of them. If you were hoping for some kind of relief, that was squashed the second the company decided to announce new Super Mario Bros and Legend of Zelda figures coming out in 2016 and beyond. With this in mind, PDP had some really cool stands on display that will let you take your fandom to the next level.

First, the Spinning Fire Bar Display reminds us of some of our most frustrating moments from the NES days with 30 years of nostalgia to make us remember it fondly. With an actual spinning plastic flame in front of your Amiibo of choice, it’s a pretty great way of making your villainous characters seem all the more intimidating. The Fire Bar Display retails for $14.99.

Then again, I don’t know anyone who only has one Amiibo, which is why the Donkey Kong Display will be able to hold as many as you can squeeze under your roof. Modeled after the 1981 arcade classic, the standard package holds up to nine figures, with three on each row of scaffolding held above each other with sets of ladders. When asked, PDP confirmed that you’ll be able to buy multiple sets and stack them even higher. Do you think my landlord would be okay with raising the ceiling a couple of feet? The Donkey Kong Display will release at a $19.99 price point.

Amiibo collecting isn’t all about Mario though, which is why a new Master Sword Stylus Display was revealed alongside the rest of this impressive lineup. Perhaps the most exciting product of the bunch, this stand serves both as a great way to display your favorite amiibo, while giving you an envy inducing stylus to use with your 3DS. If that wasn’t enough of a reason to get excited, the display makes a pulling sound when you take the Master Sword out, while an insertion sound effect plays when it’s put back in. Obviously designed to go with the Legend of Zelda line of figures, you can technically use them with any amiibo you want, finally giving us a glimpse of what Callie or Marie might look like as Heroes of Time. Like the Spinning Fire Bar, this stand will be $14.99.

Rounding out PDP’s Nintendo related products are some non-amiibo goods, which feature two familiar franchises. First, the Pop N Display Question Block mimics the in game blocks their modeled after by housing our most prized possessions, which in this case, is our 3DS games! Folding out to hold ten at a time, I would love to bring this with me when I’m out so I can show off my Mario fandom while not having to scramble to find all my games. Just don’t be an idiot like me and leave it somewhere! That’s a lot of stuff to lose at once that could send you into a downward spiral. The Pop N Display Question Block will cost you $9.99.

Lastly, if you want to protect both your games AND your handheld, Toon Link has us covered with the Legend of Zelda Slim Storage Armor. This green New 3DS XL case displays the Wind Waker protagonist in the heat of battle, keeping our handheld safe from drops and scratches. The armor has an extra compartment to hold three games, two standard sized styluses and a cleaning charm, the latter of which also comes with the package. Setting us back $14.99, it’s a small price to pay to shield ourselves from our own clumsiness.

All of the above products are releasing in August. Which ones are you looking forward to the most? Sound off in the comments, and keep checking back for more news from the E3 show floor!
