I believe this is the first Nintendo character to get a Pop figure?

Demonic Pika, but we can never have enough Pikachu in this world :D

oh shit

figured there'd never be a Nintendo funko pop since they wouldn't want to hurt amiibo sales

I figured they were just being stingy with the rights. Which still makes sense if Pikachu is the first, given that TPCI still has a ton of control over their characters.

Nintendo doesn't seem to care about Amiibo much anymore, all the Amiibo displays in the stores except Gamestop I go to got taken down for Labo and what Amiibo are left in the 3DS accessories or clearance bins. They ship so few to stores so what new ones they do release are gone before most people see them.

This too. It's really sad how the craze died down. At any given store there's typically some Animal Crossing stuff, Daisy/Waluigi, and maybe a handful of Smash if your lucky. Any new stuff you pretty much have to pre-order or you aren't getting.
