I am so excited! I'm already making a tier list for which ones I want/my parents will let me buy from the Super Smash Bros. line! It'll go something like this (Order may not be exact, as this is a rough draft created without knowledge of circumstances and not having the game and knowing all of the characters yet); criteria is based on a combination of how much I'll use them and how much I like them in general:
S (Luigi, Kirby, Pikachu, Rosalina & Luma, King Dedede, Jigglypuff), A (Peach, Zelda, Mario, Palutena, Toon Link, Lucina, Link, Mii Fighter(s?), Diddy Kong, Donkey Kong, Bowser, Greninja, Lucario, Mewtwo, Charizard, Wario) B (Wii Fit Trainer, Robin, Samus, Zero Suit Samus, Marth, Villager, Bowser Jr., Pit, Sheik, Meta Knight, Ganondorf, Pac-Man, Captain Falcon, Ness) C (Shulk, Fox, Ike, Yoshi, Duck Hunt Duo, Mega Man, Falco, Dr. Mario, Olimar & Pikmin, Little Mac)
I also love the functionality across multiple games, even seemingly unlikely ones! Just imagining what they will do and what they're going to look like is going to be fun! Plus, I'll finally have some missing Nintendo icons in my room! Yay!
 
It's weird how much I love the name Amiibo. I think it's weird they chose to use the Super Smash Bros character images as the figurine poses. Because they work for numerous games, I was excepting just a generic stance.

It'd be cool if they could integrate character costumes for the Amiibo you placed in Bayonetta 2 and the Amiibo you placed in became playable in Hyrule Warriors.
 
I never thought they bring the Melee idea of the Trophy Summoning into real life. That alone is sweet syrup! Even if it is a repeat of things from before, this is kinda the real deal for me...
I'm so getting a Peach one once it comes out. Haven't had any need to own figurines before this (besides the Sanae one I almost got for a birthday).

What video game characters would you like to see as Amiibos?

@Tyler
Oooooh~ If that were true and the game were good I would be sold for getting a Wii U.
 
I was not on board with the whole NFC craze but I would actually have fun just collecting them for fun.
 
I need to get me that Marth & Peach figurine.

This is really awesome! I can't wait to see the others! I've always wanted figurines of Smash Bros. characters since I was young. This is like a dream come true. Oh man...

Looks like Kirby and Pikachu are gonna be the only ones in my Christmas stocking...and the first ones to have the honor of me playing with them, not that I'm mad or anything; these are two of my mains, but...I was planning on saving this milestone for someone else. *Sniff*

Luigi is getting a figurine, too, just that we don't know when. Every Smash fighter is getting a figurine.
