>>11410512They don't have to be, I don't really get how they're running out of ideas when there's so much they could do that would sell.
I know Sonic and the Black Knight is a shit-ass game but if they need to make more Sonic variants so bad, they could make a Sonic with the sword/gauntlet, or even Excalibur Sonic. Jazwares did both and now those figures are listed on Ebay for like $900 so I'm pretty sure there's demand.
There's also Riders Sonic, all I'm asking them to do when it comes to Sonic variants is make them worth a re-buy. They'll make significant Mario variants, why not Sonic? The closest we've gotten is Soap Sonic, which everyone went nuts for. Even at $5 I don't think I need another shitty looking Classic Sonic with a slightly different foot.
