  1. DISCLAIMER: Apparently, this was already reported before. I'll keep this up if you wish to read it still, but I apologize for this. Knuckles receives a mech to protect the Master Emerald from Rouge in a new LEGO set by SEGA! Knuckles' buildable Guardian Mech has "dual blasters" and "large punching fists". Rouge is seen using a glider to descend upon the Master Emerald, and Knuckles uses a big mech to fight her off. The set comes with a Guardian Mech (that must be built first), a glider, a Master Emerald, and two LEGO figurines (Knuckles and Rouge). You can order it here: https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/knuckles-guardian-mech-76996
  2. This morning, SEGA Sammy announced a few structural changes to their organizational divisions, and while this isn't likely to have huge impacts on the Sonic series itself, the Sonic series was cited as one of the driving forces in their shift. The short version is that SEGA is fusing their toy division SEGA Toys with the amusement machine parts of SEGA proper to form a new sub-company, "SEGA FAVE Corporation," with Yukio Sugino heading this company. Much as the Sonic series has seen success with its transmedia push of games/movies/cartoons/comics/toys/licensing, SEGA Sammy hopes to continue this push with other major franchises like Persona and Like a Dragon. Conceptual diagram from IR announcement. SEGA Toys, despite being a toy company in name and output, isn't a stranger to SEGA's video game business. The company famously produced the SEGA Pico interactive storybook console, and most recently, the Astro City Mini game cabinets. It's hard to predict what SEGA hopes to do with this new company structure but a transmedia strategy is clearly central to its formation. The Investor Relations statement suggests that both the amusement machines and toy divisions should have solid synergy, and the new name "SEGA FAVE" references "oshi-katsu," cultural movements within Japan focused on supporting someone or something within popular culture (such as a pop idol or series), which often have a lot of events, merchandise, and brand collaborations associated. SEGA Sammy expects this reorganization to go through "prior to the announcement of the next Medium-term Plan," or April 1 as the above diagram highlights.

  4. Coming out shortly after the recent premiere of Sonic Prime’s second season, Jakks Pacific has released a wide variety of toys based on the Netflix animated series. From small, plush bag tags, to Knuckles the Dread’s pirate ship, to box sets of 2-inch figures, and finally, a collection of 5-inch figures featuring characters from the dimension-hopping animated series. It’s those figures that we’ll be focusing on in this review. The first wave of figures consists of Sonic in his dimension-hopping gear, Thorn Rose with her homemade Piko hammer, Mr. Dr. Eggman, and finally, fan-favorite Nine with his seven mechanical tails. Each figure is highly detailed and very poseable. Nine alone has 70 points of articulation due to his seven mechanical tails that operate similarly to Dr. Octopus from the Spider-Man series. In fact, this series beats all previous Sonic figures in terms of articulation. Wrists, elbows, legs, knees, and feet. All can be posed in different ways. Even Mr. Dr. Eggman’s toupee has its own articulation! When he gets mad, he can literally flip his wig! While this can lead to some fun posing, it can possibly lead to the figure having a difficult time standing if used too much as the joints might loosen over time. Thorn already has difficulty standing due to her heavy hammer, while Nine has his tails to keep him propped up. Each figure has a detailed paint job and a fantastic mold that really shows the expressions of each character. Not the friendliest face. One of the noticeable differences between these figures and your standard, 4-inch Sonic game figures is the price. You may be surprised at the new price sticker of $14.99 (US) compared to $9.99 (US) for the game and movie figures, but there’s a good reason. The most noticeable difference between the two is the size. In case you weren’t paying attention, you may have noticed that I’ve been calling the Sonic Prime figures 5-inch, while mentioning the game Sonic figures as 4-inch. This is very apparent when placed side by side. "Going by this chart, we've had a 20 percent growth per quarter." The other big difference is in the articulation. As mentioned before, the Sonic Prime figures have a ton of articulation in almost every joint, whereas the game and movie Sonic figures have less articulation. In particular in the elbows and ankles. This makes the Sonic Prime figures far more poseable. In fact, their height and detail are on par with the $20 Super Mario Movie figures (also made by Jakks Pacific). So why are these figures $15 versus Mario’s $20? The answer seems to be in the quality of the plastic. The Super Mario movie figures feel like they have a decent, thick weight to them, while the Sonic Prime figures are a bit light. In particular Sonic and Mr. Dr. Eggman feel like the plastic is hollow on the inside. This may have been done to keep the price comparable to the game Sonic figures rather than have higher quality figures at double the price. "We're blaming you for everything!!" Overall, the question you need to ask yourself is whether the Sonic Prime figures are worth the $5 boost in price over the regular Sonic figures. I’d say definitely. While not quite as high quality as the Super Mario movie figures, the Sonic Prime collection does have a good size, great sculpts, and fantastic articulation. You’re definitely getting more plastic for your buck. If you’re a fan of the Netflix series, I’d highly recommend picking these up.

  6. The Sonic 2 movie is now just a month away, and more merchandise has just gotten leaked. Today? A playset centered around the Giant Eggman Robot we first saw in a trailer. We put up a spoiler warning because the playset potentially hints at something regarding where Sonic will be fighting the robot. Anyway, if you'd rather not know then maybe click away now. This playset is likely a part of the Jakks Pacific wave 2 that was revealed a few days ago. These images were posted on Twitter by "SonicJenny", who said it was shared on her Discord server.
  7. Last month, most of McDonalds’ upcoming Sonic 2 happy meal toys were leaked. However, the plastic toys will not be coming to the company’s UK and Irish locations, and will instead be replaced by plastic-free toys. The existence of toys was initially confirmed by a photo posted by a Facebook user, which was then shared to Twitter by Dave Luty. Luty than shared photos of what appears to be packaging for the toys taken off of a computer. The toys appear to be centered on Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. In addition to the toys, the photos also confirm a “book option.” The person who took the second group of photos Luty posted speculated that the toys were likely paper dioramas and board games. You can check out the photos below: The UK and Ireland are getting different Sonic toys due to a 2020 pledge from McDonalds UK & Ireland to reduce their use of plastics by eliminating plastic toys, and instead move towards toys made out of paper or cloth. McDonalds as a whole will be phasing out plastic toys by 2025. We don’t yet know what these toys will be, but once we do we’ll report on it, so stay tuned! Hopefully McDonalds will officially unveil their toys soon.
  8. Well, it seems that all but one of the McDonald’s Sonic 2 Happy Meal toys have been leaked. In an image that was apparently posted on the McDonalds Australia website showed off all but one of the upcoming plastic McDonald’s toys, and has now made its way to Twitter. The image confirms that McDonalds will be producing three Knuckles toys, three Tails toys, two Sonic toys, and a Giant Eggman Robot toy. A tenth “surprise” toy wasn’t shown. You can check the toys out below: With the movie only a month out, the official unveiling of these toys should be imminent. Perhaps someone over at McDonald’s Australia accidentally pulled the trigger a few days early. UPDATE: Seems the final toy has been leaked via a Youtube video, and is apparently a spoiler. We don’t be posting it here. As we approach the movie’s release, it’ll be more difficult to avoid spoilers on social media, we recommend following these steps.
  9. Following the reveal of the new toy line coming to McDonald's Happy Meals later this year, McDonald's Indonesia posted a commercial to Twitter featuring an original CG animation of Sonic and Tails. 2022-mcdonalds-advert-sonic2.mp4 You can see the commercial above. The text of the tweet notes that this toy promotion has begun at Indonesian McDonald's, and shows off four of the ten known options (and it looks like only Sonic's contract stipulates they have to use his full name). Given the original animation, there's a solid chance this commercial is an international version that will hit elsewhere whenever the Sonic 2 Happy Meal promotion begins. At time of writing, the current Happy Meal promotion in the U.S. is Mario Kart, and we do not know how long it is expected to run or if there will be an additional promotion between. Thanks to @josiahblaze for the news tip!
  10. The 2023 LEGO Sonic playsets have only just hit store shelves, but already there is chatter about some new LEGO products featuring the blue blur set for release in January 2024! Two mysterious product lines have been spotted by German LEGO fansite brickmerge.de - LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog #76995 and #76996. Both have a release date of January next year. The former comes with 196 pieces and will reportedly retail for €20.99, and the latter apparently includes 277 pieces and will cost €34.99. Not much more information is known beyond that - quite understandably, given that this is something of a very topline info leak - but I'm sure LEGO and SEGA will announce something soon enough. What kind of LEGO Sonic products do you think are missing from the current lineup, that you'd like to see? Let us know in the comments section below! via SonicMerchNews View full story

  12. Site writer @Jason Berry live tweeted the Jakks Pacific panel at San Diego Comic-Con this year, and while there isn't a whole lot we haven't seen through retailer leaks and prior reveals, consider this a round up of what they'll be offering this year, and where they might be exclusive to. These Funko Pop masks won't hit Walmart until November, but I think we can agree that they're truly frightening at any time of the year. They're listed as "half mask," so expect business in the front, and absolutely no party in the back. This Fall will feature several new "Deluxe" costumes for Sonic 2's Knuckles, Tails, and Dr. Robotnik, and hey, even Baby Sonic! Your entire face is their muzzle for the true 4-eye effect! Dual-tails have been attached to the full back of the costume to prevent accidental flight. The Egg Mobile battle set was previously revealed during the most recent Sonic Central presentation. The set includes accessories to transform into a variety of boss vehicles from Sonic 1 and 2, from the classic ball-and-chain from Green Hill, to the double-drill machine from Mystic Cave. Exclusive to Target will be this Flying Battery Zone playset, featuring spinning propellers, rotating flames, a sprite art Technosqueek, and two, TWO spike traps! Can you push those spikes for secrets? Who's to say! Expect the set this Fall. Jakks did highlight a few items that are currently available, such as their 6" solar-powered Sonic figure with tapping toe and moving eyelids. But at least we get to enjoy a big MS Word explosion star shape with tiny lettering. And that's worth something, right? They also showed off their Modern Sonic Collectors Edition figure with a Tropical Resort base (6" tall, to go alongside their Classic Sonic Collectors Edition figure on a Studiopolis base). Like his classic counterpart, Modern Sonic comes with a number of facial expressions, hands, and a Cyan Wisp buddy to complete the scene. The figure is currently... available, but is also out of stock at most online retailers. Finally, Jakks wrapped up with their small figure sets. The next wave of 2.5" figures includes modern Tails and Shadow, and classic Sonic, Knuckles, and Eggman. At 4" are an additional wave of Sonic 2 movie figures of Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Super Sonic with accessories, and a Walmart exclusive Skateboard Sonic with additional articulation and thick black lines to imitate a hand drawn style. We'll continue to cover any major SDCC news through the convention, but be sure to follow us on Twitter for immediate updates! And of course big thanks to Shigs for his live reporting from the convention.
  13. The Classic Sonic toy series expands this Autumn with this new Egg Mobile Battle Set announced by Jakks Pacific. Available now, the mini-playset comes with 2.5" Sonic and Eggman figures, along with a large Egg Mobile that can be customised to recreate a number of classic 16-bit Sonic the Hedgehog game boss battles. The set comes with 14 unique attachments and can be customised into over 25 different configurations - allowing you to be just as wily in your boss battle setup as the villainous Dr Eggman himself! You can set up the Egg Mobile to be floating about on its own, or you can introduce Sonic to the Egg Helicopter, Egg Digger and Egg Hammer from Sonic 2, or the iconic Egg Wrecker from Sonic 1. According to the listing from Jakks, the Egg Mobile stands at over 8-inches high and can be purchased from most toy retailers at an RRP of $39.99 USD. Watch the announcement trailer from Jakks below. Just, don't pay any attention to the unfortunate way the voiceover guy introduces Eggman's vehicle. It's definitely called the Egg Digger. Get your mind out of the gutter.
  14. In a press release today, Los Angeles-based toy and game company KessCo has announced a licensing partnership with SEGA of America for new Sonic products hitting in 2024. The line is expected to include "tabletop games, card games and outdoor play items." Though no products have been announced yet, the release does note that SEGA will be at the Licensing Expo next week in Las Vegas. KessCo boasts a surprisingly diverse lineup of toys, including hobbyist board games, puzzles, and outdoor novelties. While their website immediately shows off bright and colorful hula hoops, sprinklers, foam balls, and jump ropes, they also publish other branded items aimed at an older crowd, like board games based on Contra and Mega Man, and anime puzzles featuring Jujutsu Kaisen and Haikyu. CEO Alex Kessler notes that Sonic will be part of their first releases of licensed outdoor toys, stating, "our customers have been asking for Sonic-branded products from us for years. We look forward to continuing to grow our games category through this recent license acquisition, while introducing licensing to our popular outdoor range for the first time." Since 2019, Sonic's appearance in the tabletop gaming scene has boomed for both kids and hobbyists, from 2018's Sonic Crash Course published by IDW, through to the recent "Chaos Control Game" published by Lisciani in Italy. With KessCo serving such a broad audience, it's hard to say whether they hope to focus on the young, old, or both, but if you're itching to get Sonic back to the table, next year seems promising.
  15. Some new information has been revealed about the new lineup of Sonic and Super Monkey Ball toys planned for McDonald's Happy Meals this summer. They will be some kind of "interactive toys", which we're assuming means little handheld LCD games. According to Gamespot, there will be a "series" of these toys released, but we now know of at least two. 'Sonic Speedway' will "put players in a simple race to the finish line," and 'AiAi Banana Catch' will "have players catching bananas that fall from the sky." SEGA America's president of marketing, Mike Fischer, had another quote to go with this update. "The characters of the Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Monkey Ball franchises are some of the most recognizable icons in video games today. This relationship with McDonald's allows Sega to further reinforce those character brands with the younger gamer through a never-before-seen premium vehicle." "Premium vehicle." Sounds delicious. Anyway, we'll share more details on these toys when we get it.
  16. We have fond memories of hitting the nearby McDonald's and ordering a Happy Meal to grab a Sonic toy in the 1990s. Those days are coming back, with SEGA announcing a new deal with the fast food chain that will see Sonic return to kids' dinner boxes. Sonic the Hedgehog and another SEGA series, Super Monkey Ball, will be getting special Happy Meal toys made. They'll be available in the Summer, although no specific date was mentioned. Both SEGA and McDonald's seem really happy about the news though. In a report on IGN, SEGA America's Mike Fischer said that "Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Monkey Ball are two of SEGA's most popular video game franchises,. SEGA's affiliation with McDonald's affords us the opportunity to generate increased exposure for these properties among a growing universe of gamers." McDonald's Karlin Linhardt said, "We believe consumers will have a great reaction to the innovative Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Monkey Ball premiums found only in McDonald's Happy Meals this summer. SEGA's properties are extremely popular and we look forward to bringing them to McDonald's consumers through this unique happy meal offering." We'll bring you more on this as and when they become available. Here's hoping they make it to the UK too!
  17. In addition to the 13" plush toy and 5" action figures already announced, Jakks Pacific has revealed that it will be also using its merchandise licensing deal with SEGA to release waves of smaller 2.5" figures, as well as a replica of Knuckles the Dread's Angel's Voyage pirate ship as seen in the Sonic Prime TV series. First, the small 2.5" figures. Unlike their 5" bigger brothers, these are sold in packs rather than individually. In the Wave 1 set you get little cute versions of Sonic, Rusty Rose, Tails Nine and the Prism Shard with a base to display it with. This multipack is 'New Yoke City' themed, which suggests that future Waves will focus on other Shatterverse worlds. The set goes on sale in July for $19.99. Now this is really cool! Jakks is also releasing a toy vehicle replica of the Angel's Voyage pirate ship, seen on Netflix's Sonic Prime show. And it looks massive - there's storage space for other 2.5" figures (so you can hide away your Wave 1 multipack toys in there), three launching cannons, rolling wheels and even a trap door! The set comes with a Knuckles the Dread 2.5" figure, so even if you don't have Sonic in you can at least sail the seven seas with Knuckles. This also goes on sale in July for $39.99. All of these Sonic Prime toys are releasing in July to coincide with the release of new episodes of the TV show on Netflix. What do you think? And who do you want to see in future multipacks? Let us know in the comments below!

  20. It seems that talk of figure maker Resaurus closing down has been exaggerated somewhat. After reports that the company will be shutting down following a huge 'going out of business' sale, a new article sheds some light on the situation behind closed doors and states that what's happening now is nothing but a hiccup. According to the piece on Figures.com, a 'very reliable online toy distributor' has revealed that Resaurus is indeed in a 'state of flux' but it's only down, not out. Many of the company's employees were made redundant, including Customer Service reps, but there is a plan to restructure the business 'and once again become a valuable player in the action figure market'. Despite these comforting words, it remains that all new products, including the 'Sonic Series 3' figures, have been placed on 'indefinite hold'. Figures.com concludes that the figure maker is instead in 'suspended animation', rather than closure. We'll believe it when we see it, sadly, but it's nice to know Resaurus isn't completely down yet. For what it's worth, the company forums are still shut down with the message 'Thanks to our loyal fans who have supported us through the years,' and the 50% sale on their existing inventory is still in effect.
  21. Blaze the Cat is finally coming to Jakks Pacific’s line of Sonic toys in August. Entertainment Earth recently posted a listing for Jakks Pacific’s 14th wave of their 4” figures, with Blaze the Cat among the line-up. According to the listing, she will come with a Sol Emerald of unknown color. Aside from her, the rest of the wave will be re-printings of previous figures, including Modern Sonic, Shadow and Knuckles. The EE listing is meant for stores, not regular consumers, hence the high price. Notably, these figures are being sold to stores in cases of 6, with each case containing only one Blaze. So she may be a bit hard to find. via Sonic Merch News

  23. 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.
  24. The Classic Sonic toy series expands this Autumn with this new Egg Mobile Battle Set announced by Jakks Pacific. Available now, the mini-playset comes with 2.5" Sonic and Eggman figures, along with a large Egg Mobile that can be customised to recreate a number of classic 16-bit Sonic the Hedgehog game boss battles. The set comes with 14 unique attachments and can be customised into over 25 different configurations - allowing you to be just as wily in your boss battle setup as the villainous Dr Eggman himself! You can set up the Egg Mobile to be floating about on its own, or you can introduce Sonic to the Egg Helicopter, Egg Digger and Egg Hammer from Sonic 2, or the iconic Egg Wrecker from Sonic 1. According to the listing from Jakks, the Egg Mobile stands at over 8-inches high and can be purchased from most toy retailers at an RRP of $39.99 USD. Watch the announcement trailer from Jakks below. Just, don't pay any attention to the unfortunate way the voiceover guy introduces Eggman's vehicle. It's definitely called the Egg Digger. Get your mind out of the gutter. View full story
  25. Site writer @Jason Berry live tweeted the Jakks Pacific panel at San Diego Comic-Con this year, and while there isn't a whole lot we haven't seen through retailer leaks and prior reveals, consider this a round up of what they'll be offering this year, and where they might be exclusive to. These Funko Pop masks won't hit Walmart until November, but I think we can agree that they're truly frightening at any time of the year. They're listed as "half mask," so expect business in the front, and absolutely no party in the back. This Fall will feature several new "Deluxe" costumes for Sonic 2's Knuckles, Tails, and Dr. Robotnik, and hey, even Baby Sonic! Your entire face is their muzzle for the true 4-eye effect! Dual-tails have been attached to the full back of the costume to prevent accidental flight. The Egg Mobile battle set was previously revealed during the most recent Sonic Central presentation. The set includes accessories to transform into a variety of boss vehicles from Sonic 1 and 2, from the classic ball-and-chain from Green Hill, to the double-drill machine from Mystic Cave. Exclusive to Target will be this Flying Battery Zone playset, featuring spinning propellers, rotating flames, a sprite art Technosqueek, and two, TWO spike traps! Can you push those spikes for secrets? Who's to say! Expect the set this Fall. Jakks did highlight a few items that are currently available, such as their 6" solar-powered Sonic figure with tapping toe and moving eyelids. But at least we get to enjoy a big MS Word explosion star shape with tiny lettering. And that's worth something, right? They also showed off their Modern Sonic Collectors Edition figure with a Tropical Resort base (6" tall, to go alongside their Classic Sonic Collectors Edition figure on a Studiopolis base). Like his classic counterpart, Modern Sonic comes with a number of facial expressions, hands, and a Cyan Wisp buddy to complete the scene. The figure is currently... available, but is also out of stock at most online retailers. Finally, Jakks wrapped up with their small figure sets. The next wave of 2.5" figures includes modern Tails and Shadow, and classic Sonic, Knuckles, and Eggman. At 4" are an additional wave of Sonic 2 movie figures of Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Super Sonic with accessories, and a Walmart exclusive Skateboard Sonic with additional articulation and thick black lines to imitate a hand drawn style. We'll continue to cover any major SDCC news through the convention, but be sure to follow us on Twitter for immediate updates! And of course big thanks to Shigs for his live reporting from the convention. View full story
