Is this seriously the best figure Sonic's ever gotten? I mean it's a great sculpt and it comes with a bunch of cool accessories, but at the end of the day it's still just a Nendoroid.

With all the Sonic hype this year I'd love to trade up but AFAIK this is the best there is, which is pretty damn depressing. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah, the Nendoroid is the best there is for him. And in all honesty, I don't see that changing any time soon. Those spindly limbs and giant head don't lend themselves well to articulated figures at all - any attempt to give him more articulation than what the Nendo has would result in a figure that was A) fragile, B) had trouble supporting its own weight, C) had bulbous joints that look weird, or D) all of the above. Not to mention, skinny limbs tend to look really stiff and awkward when articulated, like what you see here. Swappable limbs work much better for applications like this.

Not OP, but I think that figure there could easily have those issues you mentioned rectified not by changes to the limbs, but the hands and pose.
Natural poses can do a LOT for a figure.

My main issue with the Sonic nendo is that it's got the look of modern Sonic with the proportions of classic Sonic. The two don't work well together in my opinion. If the figure looked like the Sonic OVA or the Sonic CD intro instead of either modern or classic Sonic's design, I'd be all for it though

I wouldn't mind a line based on the new Mega Drive comic since the designs are decent, but I don't see it happening at all. Have to stick with those naff 2 inch figures they did a while back.

Eh, I picked up the KO ages ago so I've got all the accessories. The only real problems with it are some balancing issues with Sonic himself. If you want them, go ahead and buy the KO.

And while this one is more complex, I'd say it's the better of the too, featuring a spring-loaded pair of missiles plus a spring loaded 'destruction' feature where it flies apart on impact. It's also able to separate the legs from the pod part so it can have the more classic shape. Shame the figures suck though, I like the idea of a Teddy Roosevelt-ish Eggman, but the execution is beyond lacking.

Yeah, it's the standard Sonic Boom Eggman figure, I've had both Jazwares Eggman figures behind the windshield of the rip-cord version, with the Classic style one fitting perfectly into the nearly-circular void. Haven't been home long enough recently to try the spring-loaded one out though, but same deal so I would be surprised if the fit were any different.

While we're on the subject of Sonic, what's the best plush Sonic & Tails out there on the market today? My old Sonic & Tails dolls burned up in a fire and I'd like to replace them.

The ones I see are either cheap toy crane versions or $100+ super expensive ones.

Not for any nostalgiafag reasons, I just think the old power-up monitors and checkpoints looked cooler.

It's a new line they're doing for the US, "Nendoroid EZ." Lower price points, but less accessories. In other words, the "we want the Funko audience" line.

It's not the same thing. Buying merch for what is basically a sega marketing campaign is comically bootlicky.

The new marketing strategy at the time was to portray nintendo as old, slow and boring so sega needed a young, FAST mascot with attitude.

It's like you're extremely vulnerable to advertising beyond any marketers wildest dreams.

Probably because these prices are based on the US distribution. A fully-fledged Nendoroid with all accessories usually runs for around $50 in US brick-and-mortar stores, whereas they're aiming to have these EZ editions on shelves for around $30. Neither of those take into account the Japanese prices, which are cheaper because there's no middleman taking a cut.

How much is this thing worth, anyway? They aren't on eBay often and I have one complete with the stand that I bought on a whim years ago. I'm getting sick of how neither the knees nor the stand can support the weight of his head, but I'm not sure it's worth warming up the old eBay account for.

That's the point. Nobody likes sonic except the most tasteless idiots on earth.

Ronald mcdonald probably has a small fandom of autists who watch the videos , play the games and collect the merch too.
