Noticeably, the packaging for the amiibo is also different. Many Blizzard fans have pointed out the figurine is a recoloured version of an existing Treasure Goblin toy from the <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Deadly-Figure-Treasure-Goblin-Diablo\/dp\/B01NBKCCG8?tag=nlife-20\" rel=\"nofollow\">Cute But Deadly<\/a> series. If any other Diablo-themed amiibo are revealed, it&#8217;ll likely be at BlizzCon&#8217;s main event starting on 2nd November and finishing on 3rd November.<\/p>\n<p><em>What do you think of this amiibo?
