Tears of the Kingdom is finally getting its most ambitious amiibo yet
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Nintendo is releasing a posable Mineru's Construct amiibo for Tears of the Kingdom on September 17, offering physical collectors both a detailed display piece and in-game paraglider bonuses.
Nintendo is expanding its physical collectible lineup in a big way this month. According to reporting from Polygon, a brand new amiibo based on Mineru's Construct from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom launches on September 17. Standing as one of the more detailed figures released for the franchise, this large scale collectible features fully articulated and posable arms to give players plenty of freedom when displaying it on their shelves.
Beyond just looking good on a desk, tapping the figure to your system unlocks functional in-game bonuses. Players can scan the Construct to receive helpful items alongside a chance to secure a custom paraglider fabric featuring a unique glow-in-the-dark design themed directly around Mineru's ancient machinery. It is a late arrival for a game that dropped a few years ago, but holding back the spoiler-heavy robot until now makes a certain kind of sense for longtime fans completing their collections.
Releasing physical collectibles long after a game launches has become a familiar rhythm for major platform holders, keeping communities engaged between major software drops. With a live action movie adaptation on the horizon and rumors swirling around future hardware, Nintendo continues to lean heavily into the cross media ecosystem surrounding its flagship franchises. Whether you are grabbing it for the shelf presence or the digital parachute fabric, this new figure gives dedicated players another fun way to interact with Hyrule.
