Ryannumber1gamer,Rest in Peace Akira Toriyama - Creator of Dragon Ball passes away at 68
Cuz posted a topic in General Discussion,
Sonic as a franchise is no strange to inspirations to Toriyama's work, with the Super Sonic transformation being a reference to the iconic Super Saiyan transformation, Silver the Hedgehog taking clear inspiration from Trunks, and even the Chaos Emeralds taking inspiration from the seven Dragon Balls.
To say Mr. Toriyama's legacy and impact will be felt for years to come is a understatement.

Ryannumber1gamer,Wave 3 of Sonic Bag Clips featuring Omega, Super Shadow and more
Failinhearts posted a topic in Merch,
While no in-hand figures are here, the official distributor website has already released a mockup/concept image showing 2D depictions on what to expect in the very near future! And while we aren't getting a deeper cut of a one-off character on the level of Infinite or the Koco, there are certainly some gems for the hardcore fans ripe for display on your favorite backpack, lanyard or keys!
Especially given the level of quality Monogram continues to bring out in this new collectable line! Take a look!
We of course have a batch of returning characters in new poses, standouts being Amy with the Piko Piko Hammer, Eggman (or Egaman?) in the Eggmobile, and an Angry Tails this time around, but of course brand new characters!
We have the full Chaotix! Vector and Espio are part of the normal range, but if you wanna complete the trio, keep an eye out for bags including Charmy as an elusive chase variant!
We also have Super Shadow as the second chase, just like Super Sonic last wave!
Team Dark is also finally complete with the addition of probably the biggest Bag Clip in the range, E-123 Omega to go with Wave 1's Shadow and Rouge!
Lastly, why, it's a "Neutral Chao!" Or... that's what Monogram wants to you believe! But with that bowtie, we know that's none other than Cheese, ready to accompany Wave 2's Cream!
These characters don't often get merch, especially Cheese! So continue to show Monogram some love if you are in the market to collect more Sonic trinkets and doo-dads! And hopefully, more companies follow suit as this line gets bigger and more varied at such a fast rate!
Who knows, at this pace, I wouldn't be surprised that by next September, we'll see like, Emerl at your local Gamestop blind box aisle.

Ryannumber1gamer,Exclusive and Limited Targetcon Shadow and Amy Funko Pops revealed!
Failinhearts posted a topic in Merch,
With a brand as big as Funko, it only makes sense that SEGA continues to expand their reach on the range by delving further into the realm of store exclusives. From Hot Topic to Gamestop, there is no shortage of Sonic themed Funko Pops to fill your collection with that extra helping of artificial scarcity.
And this time, its Target's time to shine. Spotted by Funko leaker DisTrackers, Shadow and Amy are being re-released in a two pack! But this time, with a flocked finish, acting a little bit of softness to your vinyl collection... or at least your local convention's massive dealer room a few months from now.
But here's the catch, not only is this a Target exclusive, it's a TargetCon exclusive! What's TargetCon you ask, international readers? Why it's a special day in the US where Target releases a whole range of exclusive products just for this event, mostly prone to sell out the week of.
TargetCon begins this Sunday, including the release of these figures. So if your completionist's sense is tingling, you better line up behind those pearly red spheres!

Ryannumber1gamer,A special Collector's Edition Classic Knuckles figure has been released!
Failinhearts posted a topic in Merch,
Coming straight from an Amazon listing, Jakks' has announced AND released their newest addition to their Collector's Edition range: It's Classic Knuckles!
This figure is the latest in a line of posable 6 inch figures technically started by Tomy with their Collector's Edition Classic Sonic.
The figure's many points of articulation, interchangable faces, accessories and Green Hill display base served as a point of reference for Jakks' Pacific when they became the master toy partner for Sonic as they released their own iteration of the Classic Sonic Collector's figure.
Since then, all Jakks' Pacific figures follow a specific formula. A figure with interchangable faces, hands, an accessory, and a lenticular base featuring a famous Sonic zone. Like Classic Sonic in Studiopolis...
Modern Sonic and a Cyan Wisp in Tropical Resort...
And most recently, this amazing Modern Tails in Green Hill!
But now, just in time for Knuckles' 30th birthday, Classic Knuckles has joined the line with Mushroom Hill as the base, and a cracked rock as his accessory! Smashing!
Combine this with the other upcoming Knuckles' figures in the Jakks' line, like 4 inch Classic Knuckles, the 2.5 Pink Knuckles and the 5 inch Renegade Knuckles, maybe our favorite Echidna DOES have something to celebrate in the midst of all this Shadow news...
How many Collector's figures do you have? And are you planning to add Knuckles to your repertoire? Or do you think they should have done Modern Knuckles instead?

Ryannumber1gamer,Sonic Easter Action Figure Range spotted in stores!
Failinhearts posted a topic in Merch,
For those unfamiliar, last year, Jakks' released a surprise wave of retooled 2.5 inch Sonic figures all decked out for the holidays!
The main characters of the Classic lineup were all snuggly dressed for the most wonderful time of the year... and we also have Shadow with a bad case of the white chicken pox.
Guess that sold well, cause we got a new range of repaints and retools for the Easter season already hitting Target stores as we speak, courtesy of our good eagle eyed friends at Sonic Merch News!
This in-hand photo shows repaints of Classic Amy and Eggman, as well as two retools of Classic Sonic and the Christmas Tails, now with Bunny ears!
What is cool though is we have what appears to a much more drastic retool of Pocky, first introduced in the Level Clear Diorama playset, now molded to have a bucket to hold... one, maybe two pieces of candy?
But that's not all for the Easter figures! On the back of the packaging, it shows the full range. With one very interesting addition...
Why, it's a pink Knuckles!
Is this it? Is this the long awaited Super Knuckles figure we never thought we'd get?
...No, not really. His shoes are pink too, so it's just a funny coincidence. But still, it can serve as a perfect substitute for your 2.5 inch Super team until the day never comes that Super Knuckles gets a figure!
What are your thoughts on this surprise Easter wave? Will you be going on your own personal Easter Egg hunt for these new figures? Or are you drawing the line at Pocky with a bucket?
