Hey, Daily Quest readers.Capcom just shadow-dropped the first-ever Resident Evil Amiibo during today's Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase: Leon S. Kennedy and Grace Ashcroft figures, unlocking neon-style weapon skins that make your boom-sticks glow like a rave in Raccoon City! With Requiem blasting onto Switch 2 (and PS5/Xbox/PC) February 27 – blending Grace's spine-chilling survival horror with Leon's RE4 action frenzy – these Summer 2026 collectibles are the perfect shelf flex (and paywall perk). No Collector's Edition? No problem – Amiibo + $100 Pro Controller incoming. We're unpacking the designs, unlocks, community roast, and why these bad boys will skyrocket to $500 resale. Zombie-slaying fashion just got lit!
Requiem Hype Train: Dual Protagonists, Ink Ribbons, & Switch 2 GloryResident Evil Requiem (RE9!) drops Feb 27 across platforms – Grace Ashcroft (FBI analyst, resource-scarce terror) vs. Leon Kennedy (hatchet-swinging, sniper god). Switch between 1st/3rd-person views, classic ink ribbon limits (optional), Raccoon City ruins crawling with undead. Direct trailer? Fresh Grace puzzles, Leon long-range picks – runs buttery on Switch 2. Gold Editions of RE7/Village launch same day in a "Generation Pack" bundle. Deluxe Edition ($70-90): Costumes, skins, filters – but Amiibo? Exclusive neon drip. As a RE vet who's no-hit Pure Survivor on RE4 Remake, this dual-style mashup is peak Capcom. Portable zombie hunts? Hype level: Infinite ammo.
Leon & Grace Amiibo: First RE Figures – Designs, Drop Date, & Neon UnlocksNintendo Direct bombshell: Grace Ashcroft Amiibo (brown jacket, backpack, mid-step pose) and Leon S. Kennedy Amiibo (all-black tactical gear, hatchet grip). Summer 2026 release – post-launch, so grind first, flex later.
What they unlock: Scan on Joy-Con/Pro Controller for neon weapon skins – bright blue glow showcased, turning handguns/shotguns into cyber-zombieslayers. Multiple per figure? Teased but TBA. No Amiibo? Miss out – like Metroid Prime 4's gates.
Price? ~$15-20 each, but RE hype = instant sellouts. Resale? "Defective" ones hit 10x – pray for "melted Leon" variants. Community Roasts: "Janky" Faces or Amiibo Charm?X/Reddit exploding: "Leon looks like a melted candle!" "Grace okay, Leon RE2R remix?" But defenders: "Amiibo scale limits detail – final product upgrades like Smash Marth." First RE Amiibo ever – Smash indirects (no official) don't count. Street Fighter 6 scale hopes high. Capcom/Nintendo nailed detail for third-party debut.Bonus Loot: $100 Requiem Pro Controller Drops Feb 27!Gunmetal black, zombie newsprint vibes – pre-order My Nintendo Store NOW. Pairs perfect with Amiibo scans. RE marathon ready: 7/8 Gold + Requiem = ultimate Switch 2 horror fest. My take: Amiibo paywall? Worth it for neon flex in co-op streams. Prediction: Wave 2 (Jill/Chris?) by Halloween. These sell out faster than Gold Edition bundles – hunter's instincts activate!Pre-Order NOW – Neon Skins Await This Summer!Requiem's terror-action blend + Amiibo swag = 2026 must-have. Grab Standard/Deluxe, controller, and stalk Amiibo drops. Raccoon City's calling – answer with glowing guns!Grabbing Leon or Grace first? Neon skins hype or shelf queens?
