My Target put up their promotional cardboard tower for Sonic 3 recently. Managed to get Sonic and Tails. Of course Shadow was sold out. Not surprising especially after the trailer drop. Went back today and the tower was entirely cleared out of the 5 inch toys. They had nothing in the back. It kind of sucks that Sonic 3 gets this tiny little one sided display while Target got fucking choked with Mario movie shit. I'm not sure if Jakks knows just how hype these Sonic 3 figures are compared to the Mario movie ones.
It's almost a crime that these are the best articulated Sonic figures we have ever gotten between 4 and 6 inches. At such a relatively decent price too. I like the movie-verse though, so I am not too bothered. As for the f toys themselves, the only QC I got is Sonic having a loose bicep swivel and Tails having a little glue on his eyes. Easy fixes. Articulation isn't crazy, but serviceable and solid minus the bicep hiccup. Sonic can balance on one leg with the rest of his body almost entirely horizontal without falling over. The only thing that's really left me wanting is moveable spines so Sonic can look up easier.
Hopefully Jakks ups the distribution and Target gets proper locations for them in the aisles sooner than later. Also that a second wave comes with Super Sonic, Super Shadow, and a Knuckles outside that 4-pack. And I can only pray that one day that the video games could get Sonic toys as solid as these.
