Higher than anticipated price on these Sonic figures?

Hi /toy/, so I have these three Sonic the Hedgehog figures (see picture) I was gonna put up on Craigslist or something, I looked around on Ebay and Amazon to get an idea for the price and...

Can anyone tell me why these are going for so much? I was expecting to sell them for like $20 a piece at the most, but I am seeing them for much more than that...

Is it just because they're over 10 years old and unopened?

They're Sonic X 9 inch action figures from around 2004 or so.

they're rare and hard to find now, simple as that.

Do ebay, you won't find a decent price on craigslist.

The original Sonic Adventure ones actually had working buttons.

HOW COME THERE IS NOT A SINGLE GOOD SONIC FIGURINE? Why is that so hard to make?

Except that there have been plenty over the years. ReSaurus did a good job during the Adventure days, Jazwares towards the end of its run managed to get a few good figures out.

What constitutes a 'good' figure for you anyways?

I stand corrected if you can show me. I know it's spoonfeeding but I want to make sure I know exactly what figurines you're referring to.

I have the sonic one, I bought it at a clearance sale from the mall over 10 years ago and I never figured out how to get it to work, there's speakers on it but it's all a mystery

Here are the ReSaurus figures I mentioned. Keep in mind, these are over 15 years old designs, fairly close to the ones used in Adventure.

I have the majority of the jazwares Sonic figures, but they're still in their packages...because, it's jazwares

I have no idea what >>5712807 is talking about.

And this, I think, is one of the later run of Sonic figures from the Jazwares 3" line. Overpriced for the size and had serious issues that started to go away towards the end but ruined the line for sales such as knobby articulation points and flash on the mold, loose joints, etc.

On the plus side, they did get better with articulation as the line progressed and it was one of the most prolific lines, character-wise. We got Sonic, Shadow, Silver, their super forms, Sonic's Werehog form, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Dr. Robotnik, Classic versions of Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Robotnik, buncha badniks, Chaotix, Metal Sonic, Blaze, Jet, Storm, Wave, and Big.

They're also fragile as fuck, rarely stand and sometimes poor paint jobs but you dont notice it until you actually open the pack.

Not to mention their constant repackaging just for accessories nonsense.

The later figures I have are solid, but I agree about the earlier figures. My Blaze still needs her tail reattached. Wish we'd gotten a Rouge from the line before it died, I can't get into the new Tomy line outside of the classic Eggmobile

If by later you mean the ones that came with accessories. The classic figures are solid but lack articulation completely.

The werehog is a sturdy figure I will admit however.

>Classic figures lack articulation
I think you're referring to the single box-set ones, the ones that came separate had less articulation but still had some, Classic Robotnik's one of my favorite figs and has swivel-hinge shoulders, hinge elbows, swivel waist, swivel-hinge hips, and I think swivel wrists. Modern Robotnik lost the waist but got knnees instead.

I have the anniversary figures, I was exaggerating about their articulation. It's there, just nothing noteworthy really.

I'm missing Classic Robotnik and Modern, you're lucky.

Robotnik's one of the few characters I didn't hesitate on despite knowing Jazwares was awful. Wish I'd broke down and bought some of the figures like Big or one of those massive lots of Badniks that were on eBay for a while.

As to the Tomy line, I'd suggest the Robotnik vehicle set and I'm wanting to get the Tornado but not for the 30 bucks they want for it.

Oh these. Dude, I had these when I was a kid. I really loved them, but they're ugly as fuck.
