Giant Talking Action Figures
All the giant figures could talk, or had a base that could. (until the re-release) Both ReSaurus & Toy Island produced talking action figures. The quality of the figures was very good, and they were voiced by the same people who voiced the games. This was a great authentic touch! Also, the batteries on all of them are replacable, so you don't have to worry about wearing them out.

The ReSaurus one was supposed to be a Toys R Us exclusive. The Toy Island ones could be found at KB Toys and KB Toy Works as well as Big Lots.

ReSaurus Tails Action Figure w/big talking Sonic
Just HOW big are the big figures? ReSaurus Tails will be your guide to scale on these. Here he is with the giant talking ReSaurus Sonic Action Figure.
Sonic Knuckles Tails Toy Island Giant Boxed Talking Figures
Here are the boxed Toy Island talking figures. The boxes left some parts exposed, so you had to beware of dirty or damaged figures. You could test the talking feature in the store. All the boxes looked the same, except the photos on the backs. These average 10 inches high.
They used ReSaurus's box-stickers to decorate the bases. The pegged bases allowed the figures to have plenty of poses.
Toy Island Giant Talking Tails Action Figure Toy Island Tails Face Close Up
Talkin' Tails is first up. He did not suffer from 'jumbo body' like their smaller figure did. His expression still leaves a bit to be desired, it looks like he's about to say "Ppppbbbth". He actually says
"C'mon Sonic, let's get busy!" and "Yea we did it!" For some reason, he only has 2 phrases.
Giant Knuckles Talking Toy Island Figure Back Photo
Giant Knuckles Action Figure Scale Photo Talking Knuckles is really great. It's an EXCELLENT likeness of him, far better then their smaller action figure. He is well-proportioned, his head shape is spot-on, and his poses are pretty decent. This is a great figure that says:
"Time to make a house call!" "No..!" and "This is incredible! I've never seen anything like it!"
Toy Island Giant Sonic & Base Unfortunatly, their Sonic the Hedgehog did not fare quite as well. He got kind of a mad/wierd expression and ended up quite shiny. His body sculpt was not as correct either, resulting in a so-so figure. I somewhat regret not buying this when it was avialable, though, because while Gear aquired the re-release, it does not talk.

This figure Says: "Aww yea, this is happening!" and "Ready to roll champ? Let's go!" Phrases provided by: dorkingdom-blue

ReSaurus Giant Talking Sonic Figure ReSaurus gave giant talking figures a shot as well. Their idea was somewhat larger then the Toy Island action figures. Instead of the figure talking, the base was used. (See the tiny holes?) Giant Sonic Figure Back & Base Photo

Talking Gold Base Sonic
This is almost identical to their smaller figure, just scaled up and with the shoes less bent. The box remained the same, but you can see they fortunatly managed to fix his eyes. This is about 13 inches high, and rather heavy. He can also be scuffed, just like the smaller action figures, but is not nearly as fragile. He says:
"Ready to roll champ? Let's Go!" "Awww yea!" and "This is happenin'!"
Toy Island Prototype Giant Figures Round Bases
Prototypes of the Toy Island ones had round bases with labeled fronts.The proto-Knuckles was also made of something different.
Beware of over-pricing on the Toys R Us ReSaurus Sonic. Just because he was an exclusive there, does not mean he is mega rare. The Toy Island ones are actually less common.
