Nintendo has unveiled a pair of all-new amiibos of the "Splatoon" fan-favorites Callie and Marie, who are famously known as the ever-inktastic Squid Sisters.

The figurines will not only look good on display for their "tasty textures, delicious details [and] savory sparkles," these amiibos also unlock musical performances from the pop sensations in "Splatoon."

Officially hitting stores on July 8, the "Splatoon" amiibos for Callie and Marie will be bundled together for $24.99. Gamers who use the Squid Sisters in-game will get access to "squidtastic" songs that the pop sensations will rock to in-game.

The amiibos for the pop divas look highly detailed and are definitely must-haves for "Splatoon" players, especially for those who are big fans of the Squid Sisters.

Furthermore, with an official album of the duo not even close to materializing (even with many fans wishing one will be released), this pair of amiibos should fill that void in the hearts of the biggest of Callie and Marie fans.

Apart from the Squid Sisters amiibo, Nintendo is also refreshing its "Splatoon" amiibo line with new color variants for Inkling Girl, Inkling Boy and Inkling Squid.

The first versions of the three were sold in a bundle and individually. The same goes for this batch. The new versions of Inkling Girl and Inkling Boy are priced at $12.99 each. With the two packaged with the Inkling Squid, the value is at $34.99.

It is expected that the new "Splatoon" amiibo will be sold out within minutes when they hit stores, so fans are advised to be prepared when the day arrives. Hopefully, Nintendo will also be prepared for the large demand the new amiibos are expected to generate.

"Splatoon" was the gaming giant's surprise hit of 2015. The game continued to grow, with rumors hinting that a sequel of the third-person shooter will soon be one of Nintendo's upcoming projects.Whether or not that transpires, fans have these amiibos to further enjoy the colorful world of "Splatoon" until a new one arrives.
