Yeah!! Everyone should get these amiibos and go for broke... literally!
Marvin said Chris is well aware that there's next to no profit margin in these. He's just doing it for fun and covering the cost of his supplies.
I'm amazed he was able to find the capital for ten of these though. It's already been confirmed that he's using two amiibo to make one Sonichu. That's $260 before he's paid for his paint, glue and CFMM.

Pretty much this. Considering he sells these things for $41 each, and he has to carve up a Sonichu and a Pikachu Amiibo for their parts, that takes on average about $30 or of his profit. Add on what eBay takes about 10% commision, including shipping, so that's another $5 shaved off. So that leaves about $5 left... but then you add on printing cost for the backboard, crayola fucking model magic, acrylic paints, glue...
...seriously, he could probably sit on the corner with a "Plz give money, need Legos" scrawled on a piece of cardboard and make more money that way in a day than what he makes off of these Amiibos. But like you stated, it's all for the addled idea that Sonichu can be in Smash... or something.

Jesus, it would cost me $83 CDN to order one of those and get it shipped up here.
Even $50 within the US is really absurd.
I guess Chirs got his pricing methods from the Star Wars Lego sets (always more expensive than similarly sized sets due to the cost of the Licence)

No point in me getting one as I don't have a WiiU, but I wouldn't mind seeing one in person.
There's a Vidya exhibition nearby me in Edinburgh, there's got to be one of them there..... right?

We can use Amiibos on the new 3DS and new 3DS XL.
This jumped out at me. If Chris is telling the truth, I'm wondering if this could be the start of a more positive trend for him.
Again, good for him.
- He's actually getting out and socializing
- He's making an effort to clean up the outside of 14 Branchland Court
Again, good for him.
And that is a very big "if". Chris' notion of what constitutes "heavy lifting" is well-known.
He did say that he filled a dumpster.
We've all seen the post-fire pictures of the outside of 14 Branchland court. The cleanup would be a labor intensive (and somewhat daunting) project for anyone, even more so for someone like Chris, who's usually "allergic" to hard work.

Most people would try to list the more profitable (and, presumably, easier to create) medallions, especially if they were limited in the amount of things they can list, but if Chris is having fun, that's good. I just hope that he's more cautious in how he packages these before he ships them.
I'm also cautiously optimistic about him being more productive in general, although I've felt this way before in the past.

Maybe, at some point, one of our local Kiwis @lipitor or @Ruckersvillian could provide us with some visual evidence.
I'm not, of course, suggesting that they take any unnecessary risks, I'm just curious about what 14 Branchland Court would look like with the yard cleaned up.
While I have my doubts about the amount of work he's done an he will always tootle his own horn at the slightest opportunity, I have to say at least he is trying I know the trial is looming over his head but in the last month or so he seems more normal (as normal as he can get), so good for him.
Barb's making him clean up, of course. This is a lot less bitching than we'd usually hear about manual labor though. That's encouraging.
Edit: To clarify, I didn't want to give the impression that I know for certain that Barb is the reason why he's cleaning up the house. I just assume he's not doing it for fun or out of some feeling of pride for his home.

The only reason Chris went to that gaybar earlier was to persuade some poor dragqueens to buy his shitty Sonichu merchandise.

I don't understand why people would want to pay Chris money just for these unoriginal amiibos. Say what you will about adding to your collections and such, but his craftsmanship skills are equivalent to his drawing/storytelling and still believes that glue will stick to everything, follow by ignoring customers complaints about the ears and tail coming off. Couldn't he get into huge trouble or better yet get sued for damaged item?
