Nintendo has confirmed that the final two Kirby Air Riders amiibo will arrive on November 12. Sword Kirby with Dragoon and Noir Dedede with Hydra were previously revealed, but the latest Nintendo Direct established their release date and confirmed that no more figures based on the game are planned. At $54.99 each, the announcement gives collectors a clear deadline—and a substantial reason to plan their purchases.
What happened
The two upcoming figures represent paired characters and vehicles from Kirby Air Riders. Sword Kirby is displayed with Dragoon, while Noir Dedede is paired with Hydra. Both designs join an existing line that includes Kirby, Bandana Waddle Dee, Meta Knight, Chef Kawasaki, and King Dedede.
With the final additions, the Kirby Air Riders collection will contain seven amiibo in total. Nintendo has supported the Switch 2 game with figures since its late-2025 release, including characters and vehicles that can be swapped between figures. That flexibility gives collectors more ways to arrange the figures, rather than limiting each vehicle to one permanent display.
Why it matters
The announcement closes the door on further Kirby Air Riders amiibo, at least for this line. Several playable characters will therefore remain without figures, including Rick, Gooey, and Knuckle Joe. Nintendo has largely focused on the franchise's most recognizable characters, many of whom have appeared in multiple amiibo lines over the years.
The pricing also makes this a focused collector purchase rather than an inexpensive add-on. Each new amiibo costs $54.99, and fans seeking both will need to budget $109.98 before any additional charges. That price may help explain why the line ends at seven figures instead of expanding to cover more of the game's roster.
What to watch next
The end of this amiibo series does not necessarily mean the end of Nintendo's interest in Kirby merchandise. Kirby and the World Beyond is scheduled for 2027 and is described as featuring a large open world. The franchise will also mark its 35th anniversary that year, and Nintendo has already shown a special anniversary logo.
Those milestones create a natural opportunity for new products, including possible amiibo tied to the next game. Nintendo has not announced such figures, so collectors should treat that as a possibility rather than a confirmed plan. For now, the November 12 release is the key date for Kirby Air Riders fans.
Key takeaways for collectors
- Sword Kirby and Dragoon release on November 12.
- Noir Dedede and Hydra release on the same day.
- Each figure is priced at $54.99.
- The complete Kirby Air Riders line will total seven amiibo.
- Rick, Gooey, and Knuckle Joe are not receiving figures in this series.

Expert View
Ending the line at seven figures is a disappointing result for fans who wanted deeper roster representation, but it gives the collection a defined shape. The high price makes each omission more noticeable, especially when playable characters such as Rick, Gooey, and Knuckle Joe are left out. Nintendo's upcoming Kirby anniversary and 2027 release offer a stronger opportunity to broaden the merchandise lineup, though the company will need to balance collector demand with pricing if it wants those figures to reach beyond the most dedicated fans.
