How amiibo Figures Work in Smash Bros. for Wii U

With amiibo on the way next month, Nintendo have revealed how the figures will work with Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

Producer Masahiro Sakurai highlighted a screenshot from the Wii U game, where players would import their amiibo figure by simply plopping it onto the GamePad's NFC pad. The figures "come to life" in the game, much like the trophies have done in the series so far.

Once imported, players can tap their amiibo on the character-selection screen to let their plastic buddy join in the battle. "Once you do, the trophy of your amiibo character transforms into a Figure Player (FP)!! FPs fight and develop on their own."

Will you buy amiibo figures for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U? If so, which?
