http://youtu.be/QoO959qmjXgNow in Pokemon Rumble U, these toys are optional, you dun have to buy the figurines to play the game, but they're special versions with stat boosts. As the video suggests, there are 36 total figures (18 Regular and 18 Shiny) at the moment.

Passwords are being offered at Serebii.net on almost a weekly basis

 

So The only reason to buy the figures that are actually offered for free is just an option for collectors 

 

as for the stat boost,you can simply level up and it won't be that big of an issue if you encountered someone with high stats

Oh,also,Jwittz has done an unboxing video

These figures are optional, you dun have to buy them if you dun want to. Also not all of them are the same as the free password Pokemon listed on Serebii. I won't have much of a problem with buying the figurines. They're pretty cool in my opinion.

I know the figures are optional since Pokemon Rumble U announcement.

 

Anyway,I might get those figures if just for collecting as I don't know if I would purchase the game itself from the e-shop or not

I'm gonna get the game and then go to the pawnshop with my uncle so he can haggle the price down on two wii motion plus remotes for me. I'd haggle the prices myself if I were constantly going there. Then 4 player Pokemon fun will be at the hands of my friends and I.

Fool. They're kind of cute. Wooshi wooshi woo. I might collect them just to have.

I really like that they kept to the design of the game for the figurines as well.

Those are pretty cool. I don't have a Wii U, but I might just buy one of the figurines anyway.
