This is an international page. The figures here can be from any country, and it will be noted near each one where it's from. Especially with more modern figures (Like First4Figures) the item may be produced in a certain country and mostly advertised there (ex. the USA) however since they're sold over the web, they ship anywhere in the world, making the items available to all. It's not an action figure. It's not a statue...it's a Display Figure! These non-actioning figures are like little statues you can collect. Not particularly 'toys' they can be made of resin, hard plastic or other materials that hold detail well. Usually they're in cases or on bases, all the better for displaying. The "International" approach to Sonic items is really the best one, because Sonic fans live everywhere on Earth and everyone wants an opportunity to collect.

Look at this great figure from First 4 Figures! They continue the trail of awesome sculpts with classic styled Knuckles. True to his form, they use a dynamic pose with him punching & ready for action.

The lighting effect for the special version of the figure is yellow & orange LEDs that flicker to enhance the lava quality of his base. Yes it IS based on Lava Reef Zone. Just look at the great glowing detail! This is a great statue to own. It is about 10 inches high, weighs 3 kg and was sculpted by Khuram Alavi. It should appear in Q2, 2012...but you can pre-order it now at www.first4figures.com website. And getting in early would be a good idea...because the unlit one only has 1500 pcs, while the lit one is limited to 500. Lit = 189.99, unlit = 169.99 (so not much price difference) As usual, they have authentication cards. If you can afford one of these, it's a fantastic collectors' piece.

The sculpt is good & classic. He just has a simple line for his teeth and his shoe-bottom is un-textured.

The lava effect here is really great with the LEDs. Very dramatic for him.

Remember the 'name base figures' from Display Figures? Here's a good turn around for the Tails. He has good detail, & a sturdy pose. A bit bigger than one might expect, he has pegs on his feet that allow him to be taken off the base. The texture on the back of his head is where he's stamped for copyrights & Sega.

Jazwares making a display figure/statue type thing? Yes! This is their first effort, and it looks cool so far. This is the Sonic Generations 20th Anniversary Classic & Modern display figure with base. It has both versions of Sonic shown running, and the base seems to be a shiny gold ring. The box design & art look good, with dynamic poses in CG for both, and a large window area for MIB collectors. Note that the top is also see-thru. How much does this cost? Where can you buy it? How big is it? They're reported to have mis-stepped on modern Sonic's expression, is this true for the whole release? Details pending getting this item. Photo discovered by ScourgeSonic

Here are the Jazwares mini figures (a re-release of the First4Figures ones you can see here on DisplayFigures) re-released on single bubble cards. Their first appearance was a box set, with 6 classic figures. Here you can see they've done Sonic, Super Sonic & Metal Sonic. Will they also issue Amy, Tails & Knuckles in this way?

Isn't this a fun & dynamic display figure? First 4 Figures tackles the challenge of making a figure that looks like it's really flying/zooming along the ground. Nothing like this has been tried yet with Tails! (Even though it was such a familiar sight in the

games!) They do a fantastic job with this challenge by using clear & white plastic for the 'whipping around edges' effect, as well as showing the tails flattened like a propeller, how it should be. The little dust trail behind him helps hold him up, because they got the pointed toes correct as well. He's shown here on a Mushroom Hill zone base (note the triple 'layers' of grass and oval dotted ground. As has become the usual with F4F, the statue / display figure comes in 2 versions, 1 that lights up with LEDs that change colors slowly in the mushrooms, & a plain one where everything is sculpted normally. As usual, they've really got the sculpting spot-on, with cute expression, bangs blowing back in the wind, and the posture proper from the game. It's a very Tails Like statue. Also as usual, he's limited edition, so all Tails fans should order quickly from the F4F website to get this great piece. All photos & info courtesy of First4Figures.
