    When SEGA of Japan unveiled Sonic & Friends, a TikTok spinoff featuring chibi versions of Sonic's core cast, you just know those adorable designs were begging to be made into marketable plushies. It was just not a matter of if, but when would that happen? This is when!

    SEGA Toys has officially put out a website dedicated to the Sonic & Friends sub-brand and merch line! Set to release in June, Japanese shoppers have a chance to purchase plushies, accessories, acrylic stands, stickers and more featuring these bite-sized renditions of our fast friends!

    On the website is a document listing the Japanese stores that will be carrying this product line, including SEGA's very own Joypolis theme park. While Japan is the only country where you can waltz into a store and buy these adorable adaptations of Sonic and the gang, the document also lists Amazon Japan and AmiAmi as participating retailers. These retailers do ship overseas, meaning we can all have the chance to pick up a plush or two!

    What do you think of this merch line? What do you think of Sonic & Friends in general? For me, I just know I might need an insulin shot after seeing these plushies!

    The Sonic Stadium may link to retailers and earn a small commission on purchases made from users who click those links. These links will only appear in articles related to the product, in an unobtrusive manner, and do not influence our editorial decisions in any way. All proceeds will go to supporting our community and continued coverage of Sonic the Hedgehog. Thank you in advance for your kind support!

    Damn, these are cute. Definitely want to pick up some of the badges and plushies at some point (especially the sleeping Sonic one).

    Funnyily enough, I bumped into what looked like one of those plushies from that series in a thrift store here in NZ and snagged this for $5.

    I wonder if the Sonic plush's spines are actually molded or just pieces of sewn fabric.

    Actually I guess they are molded if they are anything like the sleeping Sonic's spines.

    Similar, ain't it? These are the emoji plushies, a trend started by Tomy via the Sonic Boom line! Yeah, it's technically a Boom thing!

    Sonic & Friends isn't officially stated to be an extension of the Emoji Sonic brand, but the similarity is quite apparent!

    Looks like most of the items start selling today.

    The bigger Sonic plush and the sleeping one don't arrive until June, though. Sadface.
