What item type is planned for Deep Cut's Splatoon Raiders appearances?

The planned item type for Deep Cut's Splatoon Raiders appearances is amiibo figurines.

Nintendo announced a new set of Shiver, Frye, and Big Man figures modeled on their Splatoon Raiders designs. These are physical amiibo toys equipped with near-field communication technology, allowing compatible Nintendo games to recognize them when scanned.

The Raiders versions are distinct from the original Deep Cut amiibo released for Splatoon 3 in 2023. Their designs reflect the spin-off's setting in the Spirhalite Islands: the trio wear altered adventure and fishing gear, and the figures were designed to work as a unified display when placed together.

The wording “planned” refers to the announcement period, before the Raiders figures launched alongside Splatoon Raiders on 23 July 2026. They are not board games, records, or cards, and “amiibo” describes Nintendo's toys-to-life figure format rather than an in-game costume or downloadable item.
