As the Funko Pop hype machine continues to not stop any time soon, it only makes sense SEGA will continue to dabble further into the realm of giving their favorite brand those infamous black dotted eyes. Coming off of the high of the recently released Targetcon Shadow and Amy double pack, a new duo is hitting Gamestop/EB Games shelves very soon! Discovered by Funko leaker Scarlet Joker, brand new figures of Knuckles and Rouge are being bundled together to add to your ever growing collection and/or convention circuit. Now, Knuckles isn't a stranger to being made into a Pop figure, in fact he was one of the earliest game characters to be given one, clocking in at No. 8 of the Pop! Games subline. As the years went by with the current wave of Sonic Pops, Knuckles has been given a more contemporary look, adding the whites of his eyes to add more expression. In fact, he only came out as a flocked figure for a previous Targetcon. This two pack is the third release for Knuckles, now sporting no flocked overlay and a new pose to boot, slamming on the ground. In addition, he will be accompanied by Rouge's very first Funko Pop! A fitting pairing, I'd say! What do you think about this new dual pack? Will you be picking them up, or are these two jewel hunters something worth burying instead?

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.

If Shadow and Rouge appear, how could they be handled if G.U.N, Maria and Gerald Robotnik doesn't exist in Boom's canon, though they could easily write off Rouge as simply a thief or treasure hunter and not a secret agent but i don't see how they can have Shadow with out the Space Colony ARK and G.U.N unless they write him off as clone of Sonic or an alien(both of which would destroy his character imo). Any thoughts?

Um.. I've been wanting to talk about this for some time now.. remember the two last treasure hunting levels in the Hero and Dark stories, Meteor Herd for the Hero Story, where you played as Knuckles. And in Mad Space for Rouge in the Dark Story? In both stages, there is elements including gravity platforming, going around to different planets and asteroids to find bonus items, such as Master Emerald shards, power-ups, rings, and 1-ups. This somehow gives me an uncanny feeling of how Super Mario Galaxy played. Here are images of Mad Space and Meteor Herd. METEOR HERD: MAD SPACE: FOOD GALAXY from SUPER MARIO GALAXY: STRANGEEEE, ISN'T IT?? /reference Most of the similarities come from between Mad Space, and the galaxy from SMG. Watch the videos and you can see what I'm talking about. What do you think of this? o_O

New images of Sonic Adventure 2 have been revealed, giving a name to Sonic's mysterious black doppelgänger. His name is Shadow, and he certainly looks similar enough to Sonic to be named as such. The images also introduce a new character called Rouge. These characters look amazing and I can't wait 'til the game comes out! Who knew that black hedgehog had a name... Screenshots below!
