With the Christmas holidays fast approaching, Nintendo has opted to inundate amiibo collectors with a deluge of information about the newest batch of amiibo figures that are on the way. Based on the information that was shared, Nintendo appears to be set on releasing the largest amiibo offering yet, figuratively and literally.

The company is reportedly releasing a giant Yarn Yoshi amiibo, which has been dubbed the Mega Yarn Yoshi, on Nov. 15 in the U.S. and Nov. 27 in the United Kingdom. The highly-anticipated Mewtwo amiibo will also be hitting store shelves on Oct. 23 in Europe and Nov. 13 in the U.S.

Nintendo has also released important details about the extras and bundles that gamers can get for "Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer" and "Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival." The former is set to be released on the Nintendo 3DS later this year and will be using card-based amiibos while the latter requires at least one amiibo to start the festival.

In light of this, Nintendo has released several images to give amiibo lovers a chance to peruse the eight "Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival" figurines and the scheduled release dates.

There have been reports that "Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival" is slated to be released this holiday season together with "Devil's Third," "Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water" and "Star Fox Zero." However, a recent press release from Nintendo confirmed that the game will hit store shelves on Nov. 13 in the U.S. for $59.99 SRP.

The Isabelle and Digby amiibos are said to be bundled with the game, along with three amiibo cards. An amiibo pack that contains the Cyrus, K.K Slider and Reese amiibos will also be launched on that day for $34.99 SRP. Individual amiibo figures of Lottie, Mable and Tom Nook will also be available for about $12.99 each. Gamers will need one or more of these amiibos to get the Wii U party game "Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival" started.
