Toys & Figures New Mephiles Figure & Massive Figure Listing Leak Hint At Big 2024 for Sonic Toys

[SSF1991]

2024 has arrived, so there's a lot of questions in the air about what plans are in store for the Sonic franchise. Yes, there's more Sonic Prime episodes coming next week, and there will probably be some kind of game release not too far off from the release of the third Sonic movie. But what about merchandise? There's been a steady stream of this for quite a while now. Well, thanks to some leaks from Target and a new line of Jakks Pacific figures, it's looking like we're already starting to get an answer!

A bunch of Sonic merchandise has been found in Target's internal system. It is worth noting that all of the leaked products come from Jakks Pacific, and most of them are part of sets. It is also worth noting that there isn't really any pictures of these items yet, so all we have to go on, for now, are some basic information. So, with that all said, let's get started!

The first Jakks Pacific leaked set is a “Go Go Racer” Playset featuring Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles "Tails" Prower, Knuckles the Echidna and Amy Rose in their modern forms. Nothing else about this is known at this time, but if the name is obviously any indicator, vehicles are probably going to be involved. Whether they'll be vehicles based on ones that the characters have driven in previous games is yet to be determined.

The second set involves 2.5 inch figures. Vector the Crocodile is featured here, but you may be surprised to hear that the other 3 are all badniks. To be more specific, they're Caterkiller, Eggrobo and Ball Ho. These will come in mainline waves and will not be checkline exclusives. The third set has even more uncertainty than the first set! It's the first wave of a set of 5 inch figures, but only 3 of the 4 figures are known. Sonic, Tails and Shadow the Hedgehog are mentioned, but there's no information on the 4th, only that it's an "unknown character".

The 4th and final leaked set is the one that is the most interest. It's a wave of 4 inch figures. There will be a re-release of Amy Rose with a Yellow Chaos Emerald, but it isn't known whether it'll be Modern Amy or Classic Amy. Silver the Hedgehog is also included, and he comes with a Yellow Checkpoint. Lastly is a figure called "New Metal with Wand". There is absolutely no information about this third figure, and it isn't even known if there's a 4th figure in this wave, similar to the other sets.

Fortunately, if all this talk of leaks is getting old, there is some actual official releases to talk about as well. New information about the 15th wave of the Jakks Pacific toy line recently surfaced, courtesy of a video review by YouTuber SonicAndTheBeansShow. This wave includes 4 inch figures of Mephiles, Classic Super Sonic, Shadow and Heavy Gunner. Heavy Gunner comes with a rocket launcher, a Classic red spring will be with Classic Super Sonic, and Mephiles the Dark will include a purple aura base. The figures cost $9.99 each in select United States retailers. As for whether the rest of the Hard-Boiled Heavies will get figures too, there are leaks suggesting that Metal Sonic 3.0 and Heavy King will be coming soon in future waves. So, we'll see.

I can't believe the mad lads are making hard boiled heavy figures. Now where my Fang the Jerboa figures.

Excited for Silver rerelease and Mephiles. Also interested to see if the 5 inch line are the upcoming movie figures or if they are based on the game designs. The former option would make more sense since having both a 4 inch and 5 inch line is a tad too close in size, but we'll see.

Also, while the leaks did not mention a fourth figure in the 4 inch line, it's probably just a Sonic figure, lol. Every previous wave has had Sonic in some form, be it Modern, Classic or Super.

I... think you mean Ball Hog. Because the alternative... well, I don't even want to think about that.
