I was reading this page: http://helps.ameba.jp/faq/pigg/5301/post_362.html and I found そっくりな, however my dictionary says it's an adverbial noun... and I though those took の as their particle-Then again, I just use の whenever I read noun because I assume it's an apposition.

1My dictionary says, it's a na-adjective, adverb, noun. – Earthliŋ♦ Jun 15 '13 at 13:05

You could have guessed it, but そっくり can be used as na-adjective (形容動詞). E.g.
お父さんにそっくりな顔でびっくりしました。
His face was so much like his dad's I was shocked.昌吉にそっくりな性格だね。
He's so much like Shoukichi.自分(に/と)そっくりなキャラクターを作りました。
I created a character that looked just like me.More examples at Space ALC.
This does happen often with words you've always thought of as pure nouns...

1So what's the difference between words I think are nouns that use な, and words that I think are nouns, and use の? – user3457 Jun 16 '13 at 6:42
