CHARACTER PROFILE: KAIRI NAME:Kairi ESTIMATED AGE:15 APPEARANCE: With a strapless pink mini-dress held together by three zippers, and a penchant for jewellery, she doesn’t look ready for a big adventure. Her white skin, big blue eyes and auburn hair also don’t shout game hero. PERSONALITY: She is also caring, kind-hearted and upbeat; again not classic hero traits. However, put her friends in danger and she can become determined, outspoken and can totally protect herself in a fight. WILL YOUR RENTS LIKE HER? Absolutely. As one of the seven princesses of heart, she holds no darkness in her soul whatsoever. This means she can’t be turned into the heartless, which has to be a plus with the rents!

Nintendo has followed in the footsteps of Skylanders and Disney Infinity by releasing its own range of collectable toy figurines based on the heroes from their many amazing game series. As you might expect, the figurines look amazing and it’s kind of cool having these legendary heroes lined up on your game shelf. However, they do function in a different way to those previously mentioned games. For starters, there is no portal to place a figurine on. Instead, the Wii U’s GamePad and the New 3DS have built in near-field communication technology, which allows them to sense the figurines and bring them – with their special unlockable items, upgrades, weapons and bonuses – into the game world. Also, the Amiibo figurines don’t work with one particular title, but instead work…
