We're giving away an amiibo every week of summer! Welcome to Week 8: Inkling Girl! Update: Congratulations to our winner!

Nintendo keeps releasing amiibo, but you don't have to break open your wallet to get your hands on them. Why not win a free amiibo figure from Nintendo World Report? We'll be giving them away all summer long!

Every week we'll run a different contest for a different Amiibo prize. It might be a caption contest. You might need to answer trivia. Or you might need to tune into a podcast for the secret keyword for that week's random drawing! Make sure you check back each week to enter into that week's particular contest, and to get a sneak preview at the Amiibo prizes to come! (Winners of previous weeks of the NWR's Summer of Amiibo event are not eligible for subsequent prizes.)


This week's prize: Inkling Girl! This week's contest: a CAPTION CONTEST!

Come up with a witty caption for one of the images below (if you enter multiple captions, only the first one will be considered for judging) and NWR staff will do a blind vote on the wittiest! PLUS there'll be a bonus prize on top of that for a contestant chosen at random!

Instructions:

  1. Log in or Register for our forums
  2. Click the "Add to the discussion!" link at the bottom of this article to start a post
  3. Write down the image you're captioning (for example "Image 5")
  4. Write down the caption for that image (for example, "And that's the story of how I saved the world from the evil Octarians.")
  5. Hit Post!

With no further ado, here are your image choices! Get captioning!

I wish you would step back
From that ledge my friend...
You could cut ties - with all the lies
That you've been living in
I WOULD UNDERSTAAAAND

Does EU Amiibo mean only people in Europe are invited for the contest this week?

No. It just denotes that the amiibo I have to award is the European version. Amiibo aren't region-locked so it doesn't really matter, but technically the box art is different.
