This page will still be covering past & present Sonic plushes from the USA. Eventually the old plushes will eventually all get catalogued, leaving upcoming pages with only 'modern' ones, but that time has not yet arrived. This page will have a focus on 2009 plushes, likely from GE Entertainment and Jazwares. Vintage plushes may still appear, but they'll be noted by their entry. Will Sonic plush become highly collectible again now that it is away from ToyNetwork? Stay tuned to SonicGear to find out what happens.

Here are Jazwares first 3 efforts at Sonic plush making. Their first run has Sonic, Shadow, and Werehog all at 7 inch scale. Each one is made of fuzzy fabric and has embroidered edges to their eyes. Shoe details such as Shadow's glide-emitter holes and Werehog's 'spikes' are drawn on. With all 3 dolls, details were not neglected, such as Shadow's glove/sock cuffs, Werehog fangs, Sonic Shoe buckles and the dingyness of the Werehog's shoes. However...The Werehog is clearly their best effort here. Sonic & Shadow suffer from super thick arms, wrinkly distorted little hands, flat large noses, and somewhat 'off' expressions. Shadow especially suffers due to his odd eye construction and distorted looking spikes. These dolls can't be written off as 'too small' because other vintage dolls did a better job of detailing at the same scale. These should be available in the fall of 2009 at Toys R Us in the USA starting with the Werehog. All dolls are $8.99 each.

With these back photos, you can see the werehog uses fabric-paint (semi glossy) to make the different color at the ends of his spikes. Shadow/Werehog tail and back spikes are flat pieces of the body fabric. Side view is provided of his head as it shows that...it does leave some to be desired. The 'feel' of all of these plushes is very soft. The fabric has many tiny silky hairs, and is the same on all 3. If only their faces were better, this would be a solid little plush line, as they're construction and fabric variety is good. The price isn't so hot, at nearly 10 dollars (with tax) for such little things that don't have the best design going for them.

SegaToys wasn't the only one to make a posable Sonic plush. (That one is on page 4) This one was made in 2000 by Fun4All. While not quite of the calibur of the SegaToys one it's still a decent plush. In both shots it's held up by the bottle, but it is clearly quite posable, and you could easily style his position while sitting down. Photographed and owned by:

Here's a bit of a 'before & after' look at some of what Toy Network has done. The 4 ft. Sonic to the left was made earlier in their run. As you can see, it's actually pretty nice. Though the brow ridge is getting a bit out of control, and the ears are flopped foreward, it's still a good effort which is unusual for them. The second one at the right is only half the size (at 2 ft) but in their newer 'style'. This means completely understuffed/wilted and with odd decal eyes. It looks like he's melting, that's not a 'feature'! The fabric is also a darker blue. The 'wilting' understuffed plushes are now common (2009) in any of the larger Toy Network sizes.

Look at this Classic Style Amy Rose! This is a fantastic plush, perhaps even one of the best ever done in America. Look at all of her details, including: real shoe laces! Sneaker-toungue detailing, real ruffly skirt, collar and sleeve details for her shirt, the classic headband, and her bangs which look like they did in Sonic CD. Her face and spikes also seem to be quite well done, as she turned out really cute! Her thumb is detailed off the side of her hand as well, for a better look. They have done a fantastic job here, she is VERY 'classic Amy'. Any Amy fan will really want to own this plush! Made by GE Entertainment (for the classic line) in Winter 2009. Photo discovered by SonicHOG. Since GE did it, it should available at internet retail like ToyGlobe etc. (Toys n Joys may also say they have this, but CAUTION they're known for never actually sending merchandise you buy! Buyer beware at Toys N Joys!) Back and side photos pending fan submissions. Ebay may also have this plush. Always look for the tag!

Here's a Sonic plush as seen through the glass of a crane game / UFO catcher. This was seen in the fall of 2009, which shows the Kelly Toy plushes (Likely--has similar eyes) are indeed showing up at 'amusements' as they said they would. Photo by Taaron.

GE Entertainment had been doing classic plushes...and a good job at it. This one is also GE, however you can see it's modern Sonic and at a much larger size than usual. How big is it? What does it look like from the back? Where is it available? Answers pending fan photos. Discovered by SonicHOG
