amiibo
amiibo are a series of "toys to life" based on characters from Nintendo franchises. Using an amiibo can wield various results such as bringing a certain character into your game and awarding certain bonuses.
The first (and currently only) Xenoblade Chronicles-related amiibo to be released is the Shulk amiibo, released as a part of Wave 4 of the Super Smash Bros. series of amiibo on February 1, 2015 (which started as a GameStop/EB Games exclusive in North America). Super Smash Bros. series amiibo for Pyra and Mythra from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 are slated to be released on 2023-07-21. Noah and Mio amiibo have also been announced.
