The Rampaging Octowhirl - Reward: School Shoes
The Ravenous Octomaw - Reward: Squid Ball
Enter the Octobot King - Reward: Hero Charger Replica Blueprints
I've completed all challenges in an hour or two, may take you less time if you're more profient with the charger weapon (I'm more of a shooter/Sloshers type person) prior to doing the amiibo challenges.

The figure is also compatible with a lot of Nintendo games, but all of them at the moment (Except Spatooon) only deliver cosmetic changes to the game.
Current compatible games are:
amiibo tap: Nintendo's Greatest Bits
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash
Hyrule Warriors
Mario Party 10
Mini Mario & Friends amiibo Challenge (Wii U and Nintendo 3DS)
Splatoon
Super Mario Maker
Word Puzzles by POWGI (Wii U and Nintendo 3DS)
Yoshi's Woolly World
Very good build and design on Inkling girl as it looks very details from facial features to the ink pack carried on back. I like the detail the shoes as it shoes that it's very layered in the design.
Since all of the challenge have you play with the hero charger, I have no idea why they have the Amiibo hold the Splattershot instead of the Hero Charger. Guess they went with it because the Splattershot is the main shooter weapon in the game. Would be cool if they had all 5 types of weapons with different inkling Amiibo figures holding each weapon type, intead they had the inkling girl focus on the charger, inkling boy on the roller and squid on the shooter.
It's a typical size for an Amiibo and is able to stand on it's own without a prop to hold it up
Also to initiate the challenge mode you have to go to the corner plaza with the amiibo box display, register your amiibo my tapping it on the gamepad and give it a nickname.
Overall great buy if want to play extra challenge levels/get unlocks in Splatoon or a fan in Splatoon in general

1. Paying way to much for what these are worth. Sometimes even quadruple the cost.
2. Waiting for a long time for these to be re-released when they're no longer relevant.
I was lucky and the vendor I found was only selling them for about 25 bucks or so above market price, I was glad for that because this game is a must have. I knew from the moment I've heard about this new IP that I wanted it and that I wanted the most playability I can get from Nintendo's newest shooter/ splat'em up. These guys unlock challenges (which you must complete single player campaign first) which you can earn coins and exclusive gear. Not only does this add replay value to the single player campaign when you're done, you get some neat gear to show off online.
Boy inkling gives you samurai gear and a roller
girl inkling gives you a private/japanese school uniform and a charge rifle.
Kraken gives you robotic/cybernetic gear and the hero shot.
Outside of that there isn't much else to these things outside of collecting them and looking neat. This is the first set of amiibos I've bought and I'm pretty impressed with the quality and looks of them. However, it'll probably be my only purchase of amiibos since these actually do something outside of just unlocking cosmetics or storing data for Smash Brothers 4.
So in summery, if you're not an amiibo collector and have Splatoon, love Splatoon and want to get the most out of the game. Pick these up if you can find the right price.
Otherwise you don't really need them to enjoy the game. However, they do add to it significantly.
If you want to keep them looking nice, since i dont collect these.I ended up carefully cutting the side of the box open, removed the metal film and put them pack in. I really didn't want to throw away the box plus this keeps it tidy so I don't have them loose and getting banged up.
So if you want to use them but can't afford two sets, it's a decent way to display them, with the box art, and still get functionality.
The challenges here are playing through a variety of single player levels, but with the Roller weapon type instead of the Splattershot. It's exciting being able to simply smash enemies in one hit using the Roller like a melee weapon, but also makes you think a lot harder about how to maximize the use of the Roller weapon types by forcing ranged combat, something the Roller is generally poor at. At the end of each set of three remixed levels is the boss for that stage from single player, and beating the bosses with the Roller can be very difficult since they were designed with ranged combat in mind. They're far from unbeatable, however, since previous levels will only reinforce the skills the player will need to master in order to complete the game.
This is well worth the price, but do be wary of price gouging due to an overabundance of scalpers as well as a limited supply.
