Years ago, I had that Shadow the Hedgehog figure that came with his motorcycle from that Sonic racing game from years ago. And since his hands could actually hold something (since he’d have to grip the handles of the chopper), instead of having perma-fist hands, I had a little pistol from a different toy that fit perfectly in his hand. I have him the gun, since my favorite sonic-related game is unironically “Shadow the Hedgehog”.
I got that Shadow and Chopper set from Toys R Us, back when it was till a thing and was still doing okay in the US.
I also had a Dr. Eggman and Metal Sonic set, where the packaging could also double as a cardboard playset.
