  1. SEGA Shop has officially announced a brand new Tails-themed build-a-figure advent calendar, in the same festive style as its successful Sonic figure in 2021. It's due for release in November 2023, and pre-orders are open right now. This is the completed Tails figure. Isn't he adorable? Just like with its predecessor, this figure comes in a big box full of 24 smaller boxes, each one numbered with days of the month of December. Each day, you open a box up, find a new piece, and put it together to help complete the puzzle. By the time Christmas rolls around, you'll have a fancy little statue to sit on your mantelpiece, glass cabinet, or wherever you keep your favourite Sonic trinkets. This picture is a little bit cursed, though. Pre-orders are now open on the SEGA Shop website, at a price of £79.99 - which is a little more expensive than its 2021 Sonic counterpart. We're putting that all down to supersonic inflation. But, if it's something you can afford, it'll be sure to be an adorable new piece to add to your collection. Check out more images and a product description, from the SEGA Shop site, below.

  3. As if appearing in a new wave of blind boxes wasn't enough, Sonic the Hedgehog will have another big BE@RBRICK presence this year - quite literally! Because Medicom Toys in Japan has just announced a 400% size Sonic figure in the style of those chunky bears. Revealed on SEGA's Sonic Channel website, this special edition toy comes at a massive 28cm in size (the standard height of a BE@RBRICK is around 7cm) and will cost a cool ¥14,300 JPY (or about $97.72 US Dollars). If that's the sort of thing that floats your boat, you can pre-order the toy between now and 10 September by going to the Medicom Online Toy Store here. The figure will be released and shipped in March 2024. Sonic News Tips Credit: ShinyGems Original Post Content: Looks pretty cool, and pretty cute. View full story

  5. You might be having one of those weeks. Stressful time at work. Kids running you ragged. Getting dogpiled on social media. At times like these, you want to find time in the evening to just kick your feet back, relax and take a nice soothing bath. Well, lucky for Sonic fans, there is (or maybe, was) a product just for the discerning blue blur fanatic. Introducing the Sonic the Hedgehog Bath Ball, a licensed tub-time product made by SK Japan. These little things have been around for a while, but after having something of a tiring week myself I remembered that I had purchased a couple of them during a previous visit to Japan... in 2018. So, after five years in storage - surviving a whole global pandemic - I decided to try them out. Eep. So first, a little preamble. I remember buying a whole bag of these on a trip to a Super Potato (I think it was in Osaka, maybe), most of them went to my friends post-holiday (and I assume have since used them and are not about to do something bizarre and weird like I am). They were ¥500 each (which was about £3 at the time), so probably not the greatest value for money... but we'll see! On the back of the pack it explains that each bath ball actually contains a Sonic the Hedgehog 3cm figure - a choice of either Sonic, Tails, Amy, Knuckles or Shadow. Wonder which ones we'll get! Bearing in mind these are five-year-old items... I wasn't exactly sure what I was getting myself into here. Would the balls be all mouldy and crap? Will a flood of beetles scurry out when the ball fizzles out, like an episode of X-Files or something? My hesitation was only further amplified when I opened the packet and saw what was inside - an otherwise nice-looking blue ball that clearly had been ravaged by the stains of time. Each ball comes with a sticker that helpfully tells you not to eat the thing. That's good advice mate, thanks very much. Here comes the test - I chucked both of the Bath Balls into my already-filled tub. I'll be honest, I was half-expecting the balls to give off some immediate fizzle and flair - and maybe they would have if I'd have used them five years ago - but they plopped into the water without so much as a whimper. Six minutes in and I was starting to get impatient (maybe this is the real Sonic-like experience you get from this?). I had only seen a little bit of blue fizz and one blue Ball start to shrink like a Sonic testicle. "This is crap," I thought, ignoring the fact that these are half-decade old products. I wanted a show, dammit, and I was going to get one. After eight minutes, I decided to just grab the balls with a firm grip of my hand (oo-er) and squeeze them real tight. They seemed to get the message. My balls were oozing blue Sonic juice all over the bath in no time at all. The end result was slightly satisfactory - but not without a little bit of elbow grease - a heart-warming blue glow of Sonic-blue water. As I briefly considered the volume of ancient chemicals I was about to absorb with my body, my attention turned to the two floating bags remaining in the bath. It turns out the actual blue material was contained inside the bag, and when the bag is punctured, it slowly releases the blue colouring into the water. Clever. And kinda pretty. But not really a bath bomb as I was expecting. I later learned that I should have taken the plastic bag/wrapping off of the damn balls before I put them in the bath! That may well explain why their effect was quite pissy - however, given their age, it probably wouldn’t have made a difference. The fact that I forgot such an obvious detail is pretty hilarious though. Determined not to let 1,825-day-old products get the best of my desired bathtime experience, I opted to add some bubble bath of my own (because I like bubbles). Meanwhile, I removed the leftover figure bags (which unsatisfyingly had the look and texture of a used condom) and put them to one side while I had a little soak. The Good News: I Didn't Die. I think while my overall experience of the resulting blue-water Bath Ball left a lot to be desired, it's admirable that I was able to make the most of the product without risking my skin turning blue or my face falling off (I mean, as of around two hours after getting out of the bath - there's still time). I probably should not have expected too much from an object that had been sitting in my attic storage in a foil bag for 43,800 hours. So, your mileage may vary. Augment your five-year-old Bath Ball experience with some additional bath essentials, is my recommendation. With a successful (and surviving) bath out of the way, it was time to check out the figures that came with my Balls. You can probably guess which characters I've got right here just from the photo above, but as this whole thing was packaged like a 'blind bag' (as most Japanese products/toys are), a part of me hoped that there was a secret "sixth" character to collect beyond the five mentioned before. Could the yellow toy inside be a super-lucky Super Sonic? No, it was just Tails. And I also nabbed myself a Knuckles. A strong result, although a Sonic or Shadow would have been nice. Maybe if I ever find some more of these in the future, so I can wait another five years to use those. The toys themselves are incredibly well-made for what they are - and obviously water-resistant and durable. They have a kind of rubber-like texture to them, and they are designed like the cute little Chibi Sonic artwork that you used to find on SEGA Japan's LINE service stickers (remember those? Remember when LINE was a thing in the UK and US for like, ten minutes?). Although on closer inspection, it seems like Tails' tails have an unfortunate effect of making it look like he has a very full bum. Obviously a symptom of having to manufacture these little figures without any separating/moving parts, but if I was scoring this I'd... well no actually I'm not going to even finish that sentence. You decide if this is worth adding or subtracting points to a hypothetical review score, I'm not going to go there. So that was that. A five-year adventure, which began in Japan and finally concluded in some guy's bathtub in the UK. Reporting on this age-old merch product for you all gives me so much joy (mostly due to the fact that I haven't experienced any negative side-effects to using something that clearly should have an expiry date), and I hope you too enjoyed the extra mile we go to at the Sonic Stadium to give you the scoop on the things Sonic fans truly care about. Like Balls. NB: Obviously, please do not try this at home. I tried it in my home, but I'm stupid. We do not recommend you use any skincare or bathtime products like this after a certain amount of time (or its detailed expiry date). We know you're not thick and wouldn't do it anyway, but we wanted to just mention it right here to cover ourselves. OK bye.

  7. Numskull looks set to release a brand new Classic Sonic figure-based advent calendar for 2023, following its innovative Sonic snowboard set from 2021. This time around, fans will be building up a festive Tails statue as they count down to Christmas. Although no official announcement has been made yet, a page on retailer Amuzzi lists a "Sonic The Hedgehog: Tails Countdown Character Advent Calendar" as available for pre-order between 3rd September - 2nd December 2023. Just like the Sonic snowboard set before it, this will feature a "high quality figurine split into 24 pieces" with each piece revealed behind each door of the advent calendar. As you can see, it looks incredibly adorable and well-made, and the full figure displays Classic Tails adventuring through the snow in a similar setting to 2021's Sonic Advent Calendar model. We like to think that Sonic is snowboarding in Ice Cap, and Tails is kicking it in Robotnik Winter though, just to mix it up a bit in our headcanon. However you want to imagine the scene, you can seemingly pre-order it right now on the Amuzzi website, at its current price of £113 / €128 (which is quite a bit more expensive than the Sonic Calendar before it), or you can wait until it's formally announced and sold through the official SEGA Shop, where the pricing might be a little different. Check out the photos of the upcoming figure below!
  8. If you're attending San Diego Comic Con this year, you'll have a chance to nab yourself a brand new Shadow and Super Shadow Funko Pop double pack for your collection. Be quick though, as this set is only available at the convention, which runs from July 21-24. The figures were spotted on social media account 'DisTrackers', with the new figures announced at Funko's "Fundays" convention party. As you can see in the photo, they feature two new poses for Funko Shadow and Funko Super Shadow, levitating with the help of a stand, and they glow in the dark too. You probably don't need the generic alpine scenery in the background to complete the aesthetic, though. If you want one, hurry up as the whole show ends tomorrow. Or you can do what everyone else does and just wait until they inevitably pop up on eBay for extortionate scalper prices. Your call! via SoaH City
  9. Well, this merch announcement snuck right past us! It appears that Sonic the Hedgehog will be immortalised this Fall as a collectible BE@RBRICK figurine, forming part of the Japanese brand of toys' Series 46 lineup. This will actually be the second time Sonic has appeared as a BE@RBRICK - the last time being around 2011 for Series 23 to coincide with the blue blur's 20th anniversary. That previous figure had a slightly different design (and honestly looked pretty goofy with his massive nose), so this new design actually feels a lot closer to the real deal. Sonic will be one of 21 special BE@RBRICK designs (six of them are secret) in the Series 46 set that you can collect, but as is tradition with these kinds of Japanese toys, actually getting him will require a significant amount of luck as you have to buy these figures in "blind box" packaging. Meaning you won't know which figure you will get until you actually open the box. But if that's a risk you're willing to take, for a figure that looks like this, then you will be able to order individual Series 46 BE@RBRICK figures from this website when they officially go on sale around August 2023 (it seems the website is sold out for pre-orders at this time). Each figure will cost around $8 USD. If you're a masochist with bags of money - in this economy! - you can also get a full blind box set of 24 figures for $184 from the above website (or for a little more sane $115 USD from this store instead). We would hope that would guarantee you get the Sonic figure, for that price, but nothing is truly certain in this world. Story via Sonic City
  10. GoodSmile Company has finally revealed the design of its upcoming Knuckles the Echidna Nendoroid figure, first announced back in February. Not only does it look super adorable, but it's also now available for pre-order on the figure company's website. The hot-headed echidna figure assumes the Modern, Sonic Adventure style look, and comes complete with a Chaos Emerald accessory and Master Emerald / Angel Island background for you to display your new collector's item most authentically. As with most Nendoroid figures, the beauty of this particular product is that Knuckles is incredibly posable. He has loads of articulation points to allow you to set any scene you like, and the modular nature of the figure also means you can swap his expressions out as well. The Knuckles set comes with three kinds of glances and three mouth parts (including grinning and gritted teeth) so you can make him happy one minute and sad the next. GoodSmile has listed a release date of January 2024 on its official website, at a price of ¥6,700 (which is currently about $47.86 USD / £37.84 GBP, but that conversion could change by the time this product releases). Pre-orders are open from today until July 13th at 12:00pm JST. So get going on it! You can pre-order the figure from the Good Smile Online Shop, Good Smile Shop US, or from the various Good Smile Partner Shops worldwide!
  11. Looks like the time has finally come for fans to get their hands on those new Sonic Adventure 2-themed action figures from Joyride Studios. In an update on the company's website, Sonic the Hedgehog is already available to buy as part of the 'Series 1' set of toys that include Eddie and Elise from EA Sports' SSX Tricky. A picture of the Sonic figure, available since July 2002, can be seen above. As for Shadow the Hedgehog, we will have to wait a little longer for him to show up - he will feature as part of Joyride Studios 'Series 2' of figures. That will be available from September 2002 and include Moby from SSX Tricky, as well as Akira and Lau from Virtua Fighter 4. Visit the Joyride Studios website for more information and images, including from a range of other SEGA properties such as Crazy Taxi and Super Monkey Ball. Via The Sonic Foundation
  12. Today, GoodSmile has opened pre-orders for the upcoming Tails Nendoroid figure, including a full reveal of accessories and alternate parts. The set will release this December in Japan for ¥6900, or Q1 2024 for $49.99 in the U.S. Though originally announced earlier this year as a pre-production mock-up, photos of the pre-order version show off Sonic's best bud with swappable eyes, mouth, and tails to mix and match poses and expressions. The pre-order page notes that the set will include three sets of eyes, two mouths, brown flight goggles, a wrench, and a Chaos Emerald; however, the photos also show two styles of tails, at least two different hand poses, and paperboard background scene of the Tornado in a forest. Tails will be available to pre-order from the official GoodSmile shops (there are separate shops for North America and Japan) until July 6. While Sonic Nendoroid is not currently available, multiple online toy stores are expecting restocks early next year. Knuckles Nendoroid was also announced earlier this year with no estimated release date or details. Thanks to Fia for the news tip!
  13. Time to take a break from being jealous of Japanese Sonic fans! Remember those special 10th Anniversary products that SEGA released to mark the launch of Sonic Adventure 2 last year? Well, it looks like some of them have made their way across the Pacific and are available to purchase in North America. Click here to grab the Sonic Ring and click here for the Sonic Figurine, which you can buy on Amazon. Thanks for the heads up, Swirlvision!
  14. Sonic Team has just opened up their 'Sonic Factory' store online, and revealed the first exclusive set of products to be sold from the outlet; a statue, a silver ring and a crystal cube with a wireframe model of Sonic etched inside. These classy items aren't your usual Sonic action figures. Read on for more details and pictures! Sonic Silver Ring The first item on the production line is the Sonic Silver Ring. It’s a rather spiky little pieces of jewellery that fits on your index finger, designed in the shape of Sonic’s head. The ring itself had to be specially modelled, simply because of Sonic’s spines and his nose. It comes with a 10th Anniversary-branded box and inlay, and can be purchased in three sizes: ‘S 14’ (about 16mm), ‘M 17’ (about 18mm) and ‘L 21’ (about 19mm). Only 500 Sonic Silver Rings will be made. It will be available to buy on November 8, 2001 for 15,000 Yen (around £86 / $125). Pre-order here. Sonic Statue This cool looking number is a limited edition statue, the first time that such a piece of merchandise has been created for Sonic the Hedgehog. Created from 'poly-stone, hard material that is similar to pottery', this is quite a weighty item at 1410g (1000g for the 10th Anniversary-branded base, 410g for the figure itself) and with a height of 210mm. The statue will come in the box shown above, which will have the dimensions of H 30cm x W 20cm x D 20cm. 500 pieces are being produced and sold, and will release on November 15, 2001 for 12,000 Yen (around £68 / $100). Pre-order here. Sonic Crystal Cube Possibly the most striking item of merchandise of the lot is this crystal cube, with a Sonic wireframe model etched within it. Designed and etched using the latest computer technology, this is being described on the Sonic Team website as a new version of the old pirate ship in the bottle (in the 'how did they get that in there' sense, I imagine). It's not very big at all, sizing up at H 80mm x W 50mm x D 50mm, but it's certainly one of the most impressive-looking pieces of merchandise I've ever seen for a Sonic product. Like the other two items, this will be limited to 500 pieces, and will be sold on February 14, 2002 for 8,000 Yen (around £46 / $67). Pre-order here. You can learn more about each item on the official Sonic Factory website here.
  15. First 4 Figures, makers of very fancy and very pricey pop culture statuettes is once again considering expanding the Sonic line with yet another character not currently in their roster. On their news blog, First 4 shared several pieces of concept art for a Rouge figure, with several different poses and stands. The poses show inspiration from a variety of official character art and cutscene moments, many holding the dark blue emerald from her Sonic Adventure 2 Dark Story introduction cutscene. The bases range from ruins to high tech to... standing on Omega's smushed torso? Rouge doesn't appear often in official merch (an issue that seems to impact much of the female cast); however, her overall notoriety has gotten a boost thanks to her solid portrayal as resistance leader in Sonic Prime. If she ultimately hits the First 4 lineup, let's hope it's a design that reflects the complexities of her character and not simply a focus on her prominent assets.

  17. Bad news for merch hunters everywhere! I just found out that figure company Resaurus is going out of business. That means no 'Sonic Series 3' toys will be released. Resaurus is having a 50% off sale to get rid of their outstanding stock, grab what you can now by going to the Shop Resaurus website and Resaurus.com.
  18. Over the past two weeks, Sonic Channel has promoted a partnership with Japanese pop-culture store AMNIBUS, showing off upcoming collectables, accessories, and stationary. These will be challenging to import if you’re outside Japan as the store does not offer international shipping, but there are some neat inclusions still worth appreciating from afar. Pre-orders are being accepted until March 22, and expecting to ship in May. The highlight of the collection is a set of acrylic standee figurines sold individually or as a pricey set. Though you’re probably quite familiar with the all-to-common stock art used for each, the simplicity of the extended cast propped up with clear acrylic and a small, circular stand definitely has a minimalist charm. They’re priced at ¥ 500 individually or ¥ 10,000 for a complete set. Beyond the sweet shelf swag, the collection also includes pin badges, file folders, pens, handheld mirrors, an iPhone case, a shirt design, and a color-block jacket that I presume you buy if you’re trying to paint Sonic gunpla and forgot what colors he uses. “But GX,” I hear you call out, “why would you report on such nice things that you know I cannot have.” And I reply in a hushed voice, “So that you may know my own pain when I saw this.” And because, let’s be real, acrylic standee figurines look cool.

  23. Sonic Team has just opened up their 'Sonic Factory' store online, and revealed the first exclusive set of products to be sold from the outlet; a statue, a silver ring and a crystal cube with a wireframe model of Sonic etched inside. These classy items aren't your usual Sonic action figures. Read on for more details and pictures! Sonic Silver Ring The first item on the production line is the Sonic Silver Ring. It’s a rather spiky little pieces of jewellery that fits on your index finger, designed in the shape of Sonic’s head. The ring itself had to be specially modelled, simply because of Sonic’s spines and his nose. It comes with a 10th Anniversary-branded box and inlay, and can be purchased in three sizes: ‘S 14’ (about 16mm), ‘M 17’ (about 18mm) and ‘L 21’ (about 19mm). Only 500 Sonic Silver Rings will be made. It will be available to buy on November 8, 2001 for 15,000 Yen (around £86 / $125). Pre-order here. Sonic Statue This cool looking number is a limited edition statue, the first time that such a piece of merchandise has been created for Sonic the Hedgehog. Created from 'poly-stone, hard material that is similar to pottery', this is quite a weighty item at 1410g (1000g for the 10th Anniversary-branded base, 410g for the figure itself) and with a height of 210mm. The statue will come in the box shown above, which will have the dimensions of H 30cm x W 20cm x D 20cm. 500 pieces are being produced and sold, and will release on November 15, 2001 for 12,000 Yen (around £68 / $100).
