On what date did Nintendo release the first Deep Cut amiibo wave?

Nintendo released the first Deep Cut amiibo wave on 17 November 2023.

The wave consisted of three figures based on Splatoon 3's idol trio: Shiver, Frye, and Big Man. Nintendo sold the figures individually and also offered a three-figure bundle, giving collectors both separate-character and complete-set options.

These were Deep Cut's first amiibo releases. Like other Splatoon amiibo, they can unlock character-themed gear, allow players to save outfit data, and support in-game photographs with the characters. Their release followed Deep Cut's introduction in Splatoon 3, which launched in September 2022.

The date is sometimes confused with other Splatoon amiibo launches. Inkling, Octoling, and Smallfry figures arrived in November 2022, while the alternate Deep Cut designs tied to Splatoon Raiders were announced as a later wave. The November 2023 release specifically refers to the original Splatoon 3 versions of Shiver, Frye, and Big Man.
