    Ever want to tell people passing you by on the street that you're not weak? Or maybe, you're a gentle, kind soul? Or perhaps letting them know you're actual a time traveler from the future, forever haunted with hellish visions for which there might be no escape?

    Well, whatever it is, you sick soul, Monogram's got you covered with Wave 2 of the Sonic Bag Clips, releasing in April 2024!

    Not only are the usual suspects back, like Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Metal and Shadow, but Monogram's introducing new characters like Super Sonic, and some more niche characters into their library!

    Silver, Blaze, Cream, Big and... even Infinite! Yeah, the one-off Sonic Forces antagonist once again makes a surprise return to the world of retail Sonic merch! Not bad for a currently dead guy.

    Now, keychains and the like appear like they're nothing special. So... why am I reporting on them? Sure, they're no Jakks, they're no Funkos... But have you SEEN Monogram's first wave of blind bags?

    Not only are they very high quality, forsaking generic poorly painted plastic for a strong, foam-like material and fully 3D, but they are among the earliest contenders for Sonic Frontiers specific merchandise, having both Sage and a Koco as rare chase figures!

    Us Sage fans must've really opened our wallets to Monogram, since the Sonic license has been renewed for round 2! And this time, they heard the message loud and clear: More deeper cuts, please!

    Personally, I love that more and more merchandise companies are starting to get wiser with the Sonic IP and introduce characters moreso for the fans and not just the kids and the occasionally nostalgic adults with a fleeting remembrance of the Blue Blur. With GE, Jakks and now Monogram helping lead the charge, where else do you think our favorite, lesser-known characters will go?

    What do you think of these new bag clips? Who are you planning to pull next time you visit a Gamestop or Hot Topic?

    Or, you can pre-order a whole box from Entertainment Earth right here! Happy hunting!

    These are pretty cool, and yes, deep cuts like Infinite are really cool and what collectors want. I can see a wave 3 after this!

    Cool! I think I will order.... *looks at price* $143.99....... Are they insane?! I don't care how high quality they are, they cannot be that expensive to make even if it was made in the USA but most likely in some factory in China.

    Me: “Oh, Infinite! That’s an interesting pick.”

     My brain: “When everyTHING YOU KNOW HAS COME AND GONE-“

    If the entire pack carton price is correct we're looking at roughly $6usd a pack. Not sure what that is in euros/pounds but here in Australia they're going to be roughly $12 a pack which is going to hurt alot.

    There is indeed a Wave 3, according to Monogram's website!

    I don't shop at either store but these make me think about it. Hot Topic is too expensive for me anymore, and GameStop is not my cup of tea. I might have to see if these are available for online order.

    Yea, I have a bad habit of collecting Sonic merch, but I just can't bring myself to paying so much for a keychain. Especially blind bags. I don't see me buying these individually, or by the case for that price. I will see if I can find a decent price online somewhere but I doubt they will drop below retail.

    I'm only interested in about 3 of these keychains. I'd probably go in person to try and see if I can guess which one is which by feeling them. The 24 case gives a chance to resell these, but it doesn't give a guarantee for having one of each unique one, which is the disheartening part.

     

    Also, is it just me, I can't seem to see where Froggy is on the Big one?
