Sonic Action Figure Ideas

[Fools in Miru]

Here are my ideas for Sonic the Hedgehog action figures, as I am terribly disappointed in Jazwares's toy line.

Basic Figures: They would be package on a card depicting the character inside in three poses on a GHZ background, one of these poses is uttering a quote. The character's name is listed at the top of the card, plus a subtitle, for example, Rouge's subtitile would be "The Lovely Bat Lady!" The back of the figure features a profile card for the character, plus a cross-sell. They are about 5 inches high, although some like Eggman would be taller. Each of them moves at the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles, and waist. They have many details on their sculpt, such as fur and feathers, chipped nails and teeth, bulging veins, scarred flesh, wrinkled skin, torn clothing, sinews, stitches, tattered wings, tarnished metal, tattoos, insects and garbage stuck to their bodies, and other creepy details, which are especially common on villains such as Fang the Sniper, Zavok, and Tails Doll. They also include accessories and sometimes action features.

Series one:

Heroes:

Sonic (The Fastest Thing Alive! Quote: Way Past Cool!) (Includes Yacker, Ring, Chili Dog, and Emerald)
Tails (Sonic's Pixel-Brained Sidekick Quote: Okay, Time To Fly!) (Includes Miles Electric, Spring Fist (from Sonic Battle), and emerald)
Knuckles (The Guardian of the Emerald! Quote: Let's Rock!) (Includes Double Swords, Emerald, Shovel Claws, and Treasure Scope)
Amy (The Hammer-Totin' Warrior Chick! Quote: Eat Hammer, Buttnik!) (Includes Piko Piko Hammer, Birdie, and emerald)

I'd really like to see them release an egg-o-matic toy which would be built so that it could have weapons clipped onto it/be clipped into. And these weapons would be the ones we've seen Sonic fight over the years. So they're be some sort of tab to clip in the Green Hill wrecking ball, as well as the Spring Yard spike, for example. Mores tab at the front for things like the Mystic Cave drills. The "clip into" variety would include things like the big arm from launch base, the car from Emerald Hill, the submarine from Oil Ocean. You get the idea.

You mean like the old Thunderbird toys (which they may still make... but I wouldn't know! Honest! ) with the like detachable and reattachable parts?! Yeah that would be funny.

O.M.G.

I did not think to make that connection, but now you've said that

Yes.

Yes I do.

That would be an excellent idea! Also, Sonic's All-Stars Racing car. And little Badnik figures.

Seeing as they've got every other bloomin licence, I'm going to propose Sonic the hedgehog as a lego range, if for no other reason than these are a few of my favourite things.

The sets will mostly stick to the template set out by their batman range, ie spreading out the lego characters across the range (Sonic and the other heroes/villains) and the actual building elements concerned with different sized robots and vehicles (ie robotnik's boss mode contraptions.) One of the larger playsets will be a green hill zone type landscape complete with checkerboard loops, palm trees, bridges and badniks, or perhaps a sky sanctuary playset for Knuckles to play in. Developing lego's death star playset and simplifying a bit would get you a decent death egg variant, and smaller playsets could include some of the all star racing vehicles, or maybe a playset with a small vehicle designed for Rouge with space to sit an emerald in the back and knucles in pursuit

I'm surprised they never did a Sonic X Beanie Baby crossover.

That's a cool idea because it means you could design your own levels as tangible models. I think it would work better for a character like Mario though because Sonic's platforming style is less blocky than your standard platformer, and the way Lego's designed makes it hard for you to heavily customize anything other than blocky stuff.

Though I do remember some Lego Sonic faces being sent in to Graphics Zone, back in the days of print STC. Anyone else remember that?

While I liked Jazwares Sonic Figures better than Tomy I have some good news. Jakks Pacific are making Figures and Plushed based off of Classic Sonic and Modern Sonic. This company had a good rep with their World of Nintendo line of figures that I think they are worth it
