Resident Evil Requiem has been out for days now, and yet those amiibo figures are still nowhere to be seen.
Amiibos taking a while to appear at US and UK online storefronts isn't new. But in the little over a month since they were originally unveiled during a Partner Showcase held on February 5, 2026, there's still no way of even pre-ordering the Switch 2 accessories, which is pretty peculiar.
Resident Evil Requiem, the game from which the Leon and Grace collectibles are from, has been out on the handheld since February 27. I'm still about halfway through it myself and taking my time to enjoy every utterly terrifying moment, but it irks me that I'll likely be able to finish my first run before there's any way to pre-order its amiibo figures.
If you search up the official Nintendo store or the biggest US and UK retailers, there's no sign of the little NFC versions of Leon and Grace anywhere. Even since they were first unveiled, more amiibo have been shown in their place. There's new Kirby Air Riders figures of Sword Kirby and Noir Dedede on their way, but still no way for me to secure my little Grace and Leon for my collection. Or, use their weapon skin unlocks before I complete the game they're from.
The prices haven't been revealed either, which is another bummer. With the new Super Mario Galaxy amiibo, which start at $34.99 (Best Buy) set to drop on April 4th, 2026, it'd be nice to get an idea of how much Grace and Leon are going to be so I can better budget for my collection. Especially as I may have pre-ordered both the Mario and Luma and the upcoming Rosalina toys. At least, there are signs of other Resident Evil Requiem collections out there in the meantime.
While you can't pre-order the Resident Evil Requiem amiibo yet, the official Switch 2 Pro controller is still in stock.

During the time I've been waiting for the amiibo figures to pop online, new scale figures are available to pre-order, starting from $237.99 (Big Bad Toy Store) for both Grace and Leon. At a quick glance, they appear to also use the same 3D models as the amiibo, showing Grace tentatively holding up a flashlight, and Leon sporting that swampy dark hair that sadly doesn't look any better on the pricier model.
I don't quite have the budget to fork out on these alternatives instead, especially as buying both would cost me almost $500. Yet, it's neat to see the amiibo poses at a larger 12.12-inch scale. Unlike the amiibo, these figures can even snap together at their base to create one unified Resident Evil Requiem display piece.
Knowing my luck, as I'm sitting here moaning about wanting to grab the new Resi amiibos, they'll likely appear online moments after. A part of me hopes that by bringing the fact that their pre-orders are MIA to your attention, I might be willfully bringing them into the world.
Until then, there isn't a shortage of other amiibo to collect, and I have Requiem to finish. Yet, it'd be nice to get through my first playthrough with little versions of Grace and Leon by my side.
