So /toy/, I've been looking into the Jazwares Sonic line, since it's the only big, articulated Sonic line, in the aftermarket.

Jesus, lads, why are they so expensive now? I mean, it's common knowledge to collectors they weren't well made at all. It's not like they didn't shelfwarm, either.

Seems like you answered your own question, bud. It's the same reason Amiibos were selling like hot cakes. Collectors had no other options for getting physical representations of Palutina, Ness, Starfox, Little Mac, Captain Falcon, etc. So they took whatever they could get.

Since there aren't any other big articulated Sonic figures, collectors have to settle for the pieces of shit in your picture.

Desperation. Plain and simple.

Bandai had Sonic the Hedgehog on a poll at a Comic Con. With luck maybe they can get it and run through with it.

If you want a quality Sonic fig, just get the Nendoroid. Jazwares is trash in comparison.

Neck ball joint, shoulder swivel, leg ball joint, wrist swivel, ankle ball joint.

Nendoroid isn't known for massive amounts of articulation, but it's hard to give a character like Sonic lots of articulation without it looking like shit like in >>5381949

I'd love for a Japanese company to tackle Sonic in earnest one day, but right now Nendoroid is far and away the best we've got.

Mfw people will actually go for OP's sonic over the clearly superior Nendoroid just because 'muhh no articulation'.

You can twist and swivel the arms and legs around just fine. There are swap-out pieces if you want bent limbs. But it articulates just fine and looks beautiful.

OP image looks like shit. Buy it over the Nendo if you want a child's looking display. But buy the Nendo if you want something impressive looking.

So, are you a child, or not?

articulation in limbs barely 3mm thick is why the Jazwares figures break so easily. You'd have to use metal or something else really durable to make it workable. It's why Toy Island or Resaurus didn't bother with their old lines

Hmm, true.

Well as I said, the Nendo is just great. I mean, what poses exactly are you guys trying to do that you can't with the Nendo? Have him sucking his own cock? Like, fuck off, lol.

Idk, maybe it's just me. I'd rather have a figure that does 75% of the movement, for 500% of the good aesthetics, which is what the Nendo vs Jazwares boils down to...

Well Nendo is a perfect Classic Sonic where as the Jazwares piece of shit is pretty much the only game in town for an articulated Modern Sonic.

I mean, I agree with you, the Nendo is fucking awesome. But some people, for whatever reason, want the Modern Sonic over the Classic Sonic.

Ah. I get wanting a specific design you had in mind.

Didn't really realize the differences much myself. I guess cuz I haven't noticed Sonic since I was a kid. I guess some people like the longer legs though?

Ah, yeah. I obviously see the difference and know that I've known about these differences.

Idk though. The Nendo to me is just a perfect "Sonic". It's not particularly fat with light blue skin like that Sonic to the left, but it's shorter and less lanky than the Sonic to the right. An amalgamation I'd say, and one so perfect that I don't notice it looking 'off' from any particular design.

If it were classic Sonic it would have the item monitor and the spinny checkpoint thing, both of which I prefer to the new ones.

My old Resaurus figures look pretty good next to Nendo Sonic. Good luck finding them, though.

If having the supporting cast is your goal I can't really think of anything beyond Jazware's 3 inch line.

They did have the IP on the poll last yeard, I think. At first I thought it strange, but then I realized it was the anniversary this year.

Could be one of those things where they have the prototype already, but just want to see if people want it. Bandai's pulled as much before iirc.

No pic but I own it. It's alright. There's a couple problems, like the shoes not sitting flat due to some odd molding and the arms falling out easily, but it comes with all the accessories, and it's $20 instead of over $100.

It's not PERFECT, but it's certainly good enough, and with a little bit of care you can probably fix up any issues.

Quoted By:

The Super Posers actually had the widest cast besides Jazwares' 3 inch line, not saying much since the 3 inch line had like 40 figures (37 or so if you don't count certain variants.) But there were 7 in total, 5 if you don't count the Supersonic and Supershadow variants. The Knuckles and Tails for this line were actually awesome, and Silver was really cool too except that his leg joints had like NO friction so standing him was a pain. I have the original Toy Island versions of Shadow and Sonic with their fucked up eyes, but aside from that they're the same as Jazwares' versions.
