No doubt, I'd just hope it won't have to be supported by that transparent mumbo jumbo (the word is escaping me) should his official render have him in a flying pose, the Amiibos that don't need that are so much cleaner. I'd still get it regardless though.
Whilst First4Figures does have options for payment plans, it still will certainly be expensive... They already admitted it'll be more expensive than Bowser (which was about $700 without tax), so... yeah... D:
Reminds me of the very beginning of the amiibo craze. Someone at my local Best Buy actually did get into a fist fight for the Robin and Lucina amiibo.
Oh, I'll definitely be getting his amiibo if he gets one. Probably not day 1, but I will eventually. Having a little figurine of Riddles would be sweet.
That's an amiibo. Zem-Raj is talking about a STATUE. That's like people sized. And the Ridley one will be bigger than that
I’ve been holding out for a Ridley Amiibo since Amiibo became a thing. I’m also going to get that F4F figure because, honestly, how many Ridley figures are we ever going to get?
what I seen it is 30, where u see 45?
Interesting. Rumors yesterday were that it was 30 but I never saw any evidence. Now I’m seeing other reports that it’s 45 including:
That's a very Ridley direct.
That poll is one of my "white whales" so to speak. I've been looking for it forever. There was one that was taken before Brawl's announcement as well that I'm looking for, but can't seem to find. Anyway thanks for finding it.As someone that has seen "leaks" for years, most of them end up being fake. The best route to is to set your expectations low.
It is nice to see you again Bagan. I still play your Ridley mod to this day. It definitely helped convinced a lot of people that Ridley could work in Smash Bros.
On a side note, here is an interesting pre-Brawl poll tally I came across looking at old posts (over 11 years ago):
https://smashboards.com/threads/nin...er-voting-top-21-march-13.99139/#post-2218630
For those who do not want to click on the link:
I tallied all the the votes as of 3:00A.M. last night, and here are the results for the top contenders: (characters with 25 votes or more)
Sonic: 69
Ridley: 61
Diddy Kong: 43
Wolf: 35
King Dedede: 34
Krystal: 32
Ike: 32
Mega Man: 31
Geno: 28
Lucario: 27
Midna: 25
(NOTE: Some may of these may be 1-4 votes more than they should be, because I think I may have counted the votes of people who kept re-posting their lists, but they're pretty accurate for the most part)
Its amazing how Ridley was nearly up there with Sonic in terms of requests. He has been a massively requested character over 17 years now. Nearly every character on this list got confirmed in Brawl or Smash 4 with the exceptions of Ridley, Geno, Krystal, and Midna. I know such polls are not scientific but its an interesting time capsule, nevertheless.
As for those who wonder why K. Rool is not there, much like Dixie Kong now, most of the DK fanbase believed Diddy Kong should be prioritized over him and it was not until August 2007 where K. Rool was finally able to emerge from Diddy's shadow. I wonder if Dixie Kong will see a similar explosion in requests if K. Rool were to be confirmed.
Also, here is something a bit sad, the topic where Ridley fans learned of his boss role in Brawl:

My own post in that topic:
My heart .....I feel it breaking.....
Very hard to believe this was over ten years ago. To think, ten years later we are still fighting for Ridley's playable inclusion in Smash Bros. That was not something I was expecting (I felt confident Ridley would be playable in Smash 4 after Brawl's release). Now I am not so sure after Sakurai's own statements. However, this is definitely something I would like to be wrong on.
Ridley is absolutely historic. Many fans have came and went over the years. It is sad, but puts a perspective on the legacy this particularly fanbase has. Melee. Brawl. Smash 4. Now Smash Switch (or Smash 5). We Ridley fans have been marching despite defeat after defeat. But that is to be expected. Ridley never stays down, and neither do we.
How is it important to you? I'd actually like to know.
Short version: My brother (1 out of 2) died in a car crash during the brawl speculation period. The last thing we talked about was how he was positive Ridley would be in brawl. I said there's no way (I used to be a detractor) and his last words to me were "you'll see". I want the first thing I tell him in heaven to be that he was right. Shortly after I was diagnosed with pemphigus (look it up if you want but it's not pretty) and it was supposed to be eventually fatal. During the smash 4 speculation period I was told I didn't have long and I realized smash 4 was my last chance to see it happen so the deconfirmed on hit me hard. Somehow I made it through and pemphigus is in remission with no signs of coming back so even if he does not get in here, I do not have the same dillema as before.
I’d be offended as a Ridley fan if it wasn’t their biggest figure yet. :b
(Sorry mods if this image is a bit big)
The Bowser figure is:
Height - 19 inches (49cm)
Width - 19 inches (49cm)
Depth - 21 inches (54cm)
Weight: 19.7 KG
The Link & Loftwing figure is:
Height - 26 inches
Width - 22 inches
Depth - 25 inches
The Meta Ridley figure is bigger than those.
In fact the Meta Ridley figure is probably their biggest figure yet.
Damn, that's quite a story.
And this vergeben leak could potential bring your brothers last words to reality
Thank you. I truly appreciate your support. I was uneasy about sharing this at first because I have been harassed about it before (basically people saying I'm full of crap) so it eases my mind to see this. It's been such a long wait, it's hard to believe the battle could be won in just six days!
kinda of scary how you can be speculating about a game one min and not hear the next
What about DK Barrel Blast?
You're absolutely right! Shows how little I know of the DK series.
That's one of the reasons why I want him. For awhile I've liked the idea of having a playable Ridley in some form, but I don't really see that happening in a main series Metroid or a Metroid spin-off anytime soon... Smash Bros. seems like the only possible place where he could get a playable role, so I'm hoping that his debut will be there.
Everybody knows Vergeben is hit and miss, that's why no one should fully believe the leak, but personally I don't believe his patchy record is a result of him just making stuff up, but rather he's extremely naive when it comes to trusting his various sources, he just throws every single thing anyone tells him out there. Also, GameFAQs is an absolute mess, that's one of the last places I'd trust to run an investigation on someone.
I can’t believe we’re still acting like Vergeben is the only or even the original source. ResetEra is the original source of Ridley stuff, Vergeben has been piggybacking off of that the whole time.
Dude, why do you always seem so keen to jump on this crap? Let's just wait until E3. Also I saw you're posts on ResetEra mocking the ResetEra mods teasing him,Huh?! Haven't they got things right before? They weren't memeing since Ryce said Jonneh was talking about Ridley being in Smash. The mods said that he was meant to be revealed with the Inklings but got pushed back.
Both of these posts are correct.
