Sonic:I hate the soap shoes Mario:SOS Prototype Sonic:time to show you who I REALLY am Shadow:who are you Prototype Sonic:I AM SILVER THE HEDGEHOG Shadow:WOW
I have such strong memories of these figures. My best friend and I wanted the Shadow figure so badly as kids in 5th grade that we actually stopped using our lunch money to save up for it, then pooled our money to buy it online. Luckily I was the one who got to keep Shadow! I got the Sonic, Mario, and Luigi Joyride figures later that Christmas. I still have all of the figures to this day, but Shadow will always remain my favorite. Even though I took them all out of the box, for years I kept the empty boxes just because I liked the pro tips, artwork, and reviews! Thank you for making this video about my favorite line of video game toys.
3:59 oh hey that's my picture, you'll see that I have never opened Shadow where as the Sonic one you can see its been opened, I have kept its box but put him back in for that photo, kinda wished I'd never opened him too seeing as the rarity of them now but then saying that its a great figure to look at closer in detail and have on display, I love how the spikes are done on him and just how weighty they are as figures, feels high quality, still need to find the prototype one day. Great highly informative video, enjoyed watching.
Story time: There's a toy store near where I live that holds alot of clearly old toys, most of them unopened. There were these Super Monkey Ball toys, and the back of the box advertised these bendy figures. I asked the cashier if they had the Sonic figures. He said that they did at some point but they were already bought. There were unopened figures just sitting there on a store shelf probably going for like 20 bucks. I wish I had seen them earlier, I probably would've bought them up in a heart beat
I can see why they're the MOST desired figures to date and I can't blame them. A shame they didn't go beyond Sonic and Shadow, would love to see Tails, Knuckles, Eggman and Rouge, but I'm grateful they gave other SEGA games some love in figure form such as Jet Set Radio and even Crazy Taxi.
I think that Rouge was made in the Sonic X series of figurines, but it's practically impossible to buy her anywhere. I searched on Google and nothing comes up. Nuts...
This turned out to be an unexpected trip down memory lane! I recall seeing these on store shelves long ago. All the ones I REALLY wanted were out of my price range, but I eventually convinced my mom to buy me Ai-Ai and Gongon when they went on clearance at Walmart. I still have them, in the original box, to this day! They have a place of honor in my gaming setup.
I still have these. I remember being so excited for them, seeing the commercial maybe twice ever, and opening them for my birthday. Sure wish I'd kept the packaging.
I know plushes aren't relevant to this video, I just wanted to comment on the most recent one. I find this channel really interesting, despite not owning a single plush. Thanks to this channel, I've grown a stronger appreciation for plushes, so much so that I wanted to fix the whole not owning a plush thing. I just bought a damaged but fixable Kellytoy (I think, the tag was cut off) Spyro plush for $16 off eBay and a Senei "Super Mario" Mario plush for $10, don't worry, it's official. I bought it straight from Amazon and I have Prime. I don't plan on having a big collection or even having more than one plush of the same character, but I do plan on getting a few more.
Master Sashimi i saw the sonic one on Amazon for 149.99 dollars with the box he was the only one i can find and he was in stock but i dont know the email and the zipcode only my mom knows what it is so i may have luck to get him yet i wanna know why ur mom said to put sonic back? How much did he cost? Becoz back then he wouldn't cost hundreds of dollars
Oh my god, I had both off these. I actually ripped off Sonic's arms BECAUSE the wires were worn out The Shadow one was much more sturdy and well made Shadows shoes were my favorite detail I would pop off their heads and switch them Fun Fact: Shadow's neck plug is bigger than Sonic's. Use that information as you please.
I wanted this Sonic so much back in the day. I knew he wasn't sold in my country and I could never have it but everything about it looked so awesome, I could tell this figure was way ahead of its time.
Wow! I still own the Sonic one, used to play with him all the time when I was little, so much so that his nose popped out! Neat to see a review of this figure!
See stuff like this makes me very happy as I grew up with the adventure games, I’m not sure if I’ll ever get these or get new versions of the adventure dx plush I had as a kid. I’m so glad you make these videos because this really helps me learn about the franchise
Last Sonic toy I remember having was a 4 inch Shadow figure back in '05. The ones with accessories that were usually two Chaos Emeralds but varied between waves.
Ever since i saw these figures on the internet at around 2004 i was so hooked to them like crazy ! I remember waiting full 5 years until i finally received them for christmas in 2009. Sadly i was 14 years old around that time and slowly stopped playing with toys in general. And i really don't know what got to me but i gave them away to a young kid who was in love with sonic also. Considering how rare they are nowadays it was a decision i regret a little but that's life i guess.. Loved the Review !
Holy shit I remember this toy line of figures as a kid! Specifically the Samus one, that's shown at 6:28. Feels like a damn lifetime since I seen that figure.
Are there any known differences on the bagged sonic? I found an opened one of the sonics in nearly perfect condition at the chicago toy show last year, and I noticed it seemed glossier than the ones I owned, and the blue seemed darker. The owner made the claim that it was meant for display or something. He was offering $15 and I passed for some dumb reason, though I already own several ones with broken wire. Also, shadow always bent better than sonic, even when first released. I believe its the resistance of the rubber rather than the strength of the wire, as the sonic uses a the natural white with paint on it, while shadow is dyed black, and black dyes tend to thin pvcs, making them easier to bend, so I wouldn't doubt it's the same for whatever rubber they used. That or the rubber was just different, but either way, shadow was always easier to pose. Thanks for finding the jointed photos by the way, I saw some when I was young and haven't seem them until now, but it was a different sonic. Also, almost all earlier prototypes on display are resin, before they have the figure fully tooled they make several resin samples for displays at cons and stuff. Great video!
i still have a shadow one,my uncle (who is a collector) gave it to me some months ago,i just watched this video and i realized i have a piece of gold in my hands!!!
You should do a look back on the Sonic and Knuckles figures from Tomy(I'm talking about the figures that Tomy made to promote Sonic and Knuckles on the Mega drive/Genesis).
does anyone remember that stop motion serious that had these figures and Mario ones? The plot had to do with Wario turning into a dinosaur, I need the nostalgia trip! (edit: its called "mario and sonic part 1")
I had the sonic figure when I was little and I remember it starting to smell weird overtime. Probably had to do with the flexible plastic it was made of.
PATMAC u are my favorite RUclipsr ever sene u replyed to me in ur 25th anniversary plush review I like all your vids even if your video is a Kirby video which is a game I haven't played I clicked on it immediately I found your channel when u uploaded sonic adventure 2 plushies u are the best RUclipsr
Both of those videos will absolutely be remade someday! In some way, this video can actually sorta be seen as a remake of my old video on tons of bendy Sonic figures, as I did feature the Joyride figures. Of course this video is far more in depth than that one but yeah. I'm actually kinda worried that when I do remake ReSaurus Sonic, it'll be like 2 hours long lol, but it'll happen eventually.
Thank you! I'd love to be able to make videos more often, but I just don't have the time right now. I have a few shorter videos in the works at the moment though so those hopefully shouldn't take too long to come out.
Hey patmac. I just went to toys r us earlier tonight and i got the modern sonic comic pack. Also they had the metalic shadow sonic and eggman pack but they were upside down in the package!!
Dude, this video was INCREDIBLE! Great Work! You just provided me with a whole lotta history and info on what are probably some of the best pieces of Sonic the Hedgehog merchandise to ever exist. I actually own the JoyRide Sonic and Shadow figures myself. I bought both of them brand new back in 2015 on EBay. I got EXTREMELY lucky with Shadow. Not only was he still mint in his box, but the seller only asked for a little over $200. In my opinion that wasn't too much considering the figure was in fact in mint condition. Sonic was also mint condition but thankfully I only payed about $120 for him. As much as I wanted to keep them in their boxes, I simply couldn't. These figures were just to incredible to not have them displayed on there bases. I still have the boxes and all other accessories however, they're just put away. I want to keep these figures for as long as I possibly can, which is why I don't care for the amount of money I could sell them for. However for the sake of rarity on the "prototype" Sonic, I'll be keeping him in his box if I ever get lucky enough to find him. And as for those prototype resin SA2 figures of Sonic and Shadow, WHAT??!! I had no idea those were a thing! I would pay an OUTRAGEOUS amount of money for those! Can't believe they never saw the light of day. It is what it is though. Once again, great video dude! 👍
Thank you so much! That's awesome that you were able to get them for such good prices, even though I would have kept them in the box haha. Still though, great stuff! Glad you enjoyed the video, and that you were able to learn something new from it! Thank you!
Big wall text so apologies: I remember how BAD I wanted the Joyride Gamepro/Nintendo Power toys but I could never find them anywhere for the life of me. It wasn’t till maybe around 2007(right at their end) I got a few Halo 2 figures from them and for the time….hell to this day they still hold up well. I’m a big toy collector now but back in the day I remember how blown away I was with the articulation of the Spartan figures. I was talking about many of these in a toy group I’m in that’s full of collectors and even some in or with experience in the toy industry and he was telling us how even back in the early years of these releases how bad they would get scalped and sold out that the only way to even get a hold of these was mostly through BBTS pre orders. A Samus Gamepro figure goes up for 800$ in package nowadays just to give you an idea how many of the others go for now. Most Halo CE/Halo 2 ones go for about 100-200 a pop. Great video btw. Not many people talk about Joyride studio toys anymore. They definitely did what many didn’t do back in the day.
L and N Studios Seeing this comment and those exact plushies in the latest video here makes me realise that life has taunted me with those plushies since they came out back in 2015. My soul hurts.
Man, I had Sonic and Shadow as a kid. I scuffed up Sonic a lot because I loved playing with him, and I used Shadow so much (as he was my only toy of Shadow) that his arms both broke off TWICE. My mom had removed and replaced the wires once, and although his shoulders were torn, he still worked fine for my childhood made-up Sonic adventures. The second time I broke his arm wires, I handed him over to my mom and as far as I know, he was put in a small bag with his arms and then was misplaced. I know which room he's in, but no idea where in said room. I still have the cardboard pro-tip cards, though!! I had no idea they'd come from those figures until I saw this. At least one of them is still on my old home's wall in my room.
I still have my precious joyride sonic figure, and I'm never selling it EVER. seriously tho, It took me a while to get my parents to buy me that figure, and it holds a special place in my heart.
I was lucky with my collection. I managed to get the prototype sonic for £40, sonic for £20 and Shadow for £75. All boxed and mint. I even have both red and grey base variants.
RIP Sonic and Shadow prototypes. Your limbs may have not been bendy and of resin were your heads, but despite that, you will always have a special place in our hearts.
24:56 Actually you used another image of the prototypes in your other video looking at Sonic bendy figures. It shows mostly Sonic with a little bit of Shadow present on the left of the screen. But more importantly, the other image shows a different background... hmm...
gabriel valiente not really, it has the best story, gameplay variety, music is really great, it introduced fan favorites like shadow and rouge, the chao garden is a fun little distraction, and has tons of content and re-playability.
I remember begging my parents for these but they couldn't find them in any stores. I don't even remember where I heard about them as a kid but now the prices are crazy.
5:26 At end of the catalog of the figure it says Zelda and Samus from smash melee, ¿are those even out?,¿Could someone tell me whats with that?...¿¡ There was a SmAsH BrOs ToY lInE!?!
Just moved into my first house and dug out the old toy boy from the attic of my childhood home and whaddya know I have this Sonic and the stand in good condition haha.
I think the shadow figure's rerelease had a sonic adventure DX sticker because weirdly sonic adventure 2 battle was released on GameCube first (in 2002), then the DX port was released a year later (in 2003). I assume the shadow figure was a promo for the newly released sonic adventure DX.
I never understood the hype of these bendys. Sure sonic has the soap shoes but thats just it? These figures are mediocre at best. I would never spend that high amount of money to a bendy that would break easily
I had figures like these when I was a kid. I bent the limbs so much that they started to wear and you could see the wires under the skin. After a while they did end up falling off.
Those shoes man...it's the stuff of legend
Yes dude he knows props to you wounded
Sonic:I hate the soap shoes
Mario:SOS
Prototype Sonic:time to show you who I REALLY am
Shadow:who are you
Prototype Sonic:I AM SILVER THE HEDGEHOG
Shadow:WOW
Id like to have them
True
@Nehemiah Lawrence-Garcia disagree, I consider soap sonic to be the best design for him
I have such strong memories of these figures. My best friend and I wanted the Shadow figure so badly as kids in 5th grade that we actually stopped using our lunch money to save up for it, then pooled our money to buy it online.

Yeah I wish they could've Made A benable Action figure of Knuckles Man

Sonic The Comic Reviews I live your content
Sonic The Comic Reviews did you make sonic the comic
Thanks!
Nope, just a channel dedicated to it, I do know some of the creators as friends though.
Sonic The Comic Reviews If they made an animated series for Sonic the comic would you watch it?
Shadow Pointing at an Unknown Object
he's pointing at the faker
or the *DAMN* 4th chaos emerald
I love all of you.
+tjlnintendo It's too hilarious. Now I need to get this Shadow figure and reenact these beautiful fan-made moments.
lol too bad I don't have the money for it.

The Enchiladdy I once went to Los Angeles and I found a toy store called toyzilla I found a jaswires espio figure
I can see why they're the MOST desired figures to date and I can't blame them. A shame they didn't go beyond Sonic and Shadow, would love to see Tails, Knuckles, Eggman and Rouge, but I'm grateful they gave other SEGA games some love in figure form such as Jet Set Radio and even Crazy Taxi.
I think that Rouge was made in the Sonic X series of figurines, but it's practically impossible to buy her anywhere. I searched on Google and nothing comes up. Nuts...
I would by rouge for her boobies (=
Sure
Dimitriy Dzyuba lol
They made jet set radio?
Its 2 here in the uk, i was about to sleep but then you upload
Ok one more I guess
Zir Yuri How you doing mai boi?
Same,You the man Cory!
Joshua 'TheTrueMaster' Baptista p
R.I.P. "JoyRide" , I never knew you existed...
Man can we get an F for Joyride
Me too!
R.I.P
F
Oh no
I kinda wish modern sonic would wear soap shoes again, I like the design of them on sonic
I LIKE THE SHOES HE HAS RIGHT NOW SOAP SHOES ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO DRAW.
LOL THATS SO TRUE
While I wouldn't want a game where he mainly wears them, it'd be a cool alternate costume or something
yeth
Cat Meistr it's easy to draw them

As a kid I've been wanting that sonic figure for more than 10 years and I got a job and got him for 60$ with stand and I've never been more lucky!!💎
Keep up the awesome work patmac! You covered one of my favorite sonic action figure lines!
Very well detailed and interesting video.
I might try to get the Sonic and Shadow figures someday.
I liked and subbed
I totally remember having Sonic in 2002, I remember bringing him in for show and tell in elementary school xD I was not a cool kid.
SuperRetroBros. Cool kid by my standards
Bet all those kids making fun of you for bringing a sonic figure for show and tell are hitting themselves because of how rare it is
Hunter Aroksaar I doubt they care or even remember him.
There not cool
[SuperRetroBros.] Uncultured swines, we call them.
3:53 Shadow: WHAT ARE THOSE!!! *Points Finger at Sonics Soap Shoes
22:06 holy shit that's my figure that i posted on deviantart. thanks a lot for using it ^_^!!!
I still have these. I remember being so excited for them, seeing the commercial maybe twice ever, and opening them for my birthday. Sure wish I'd kept the packaging.
I know plushes aren't relevant to this video, I just wanted to comment on the most recent one.
I find this channel really interesting, despite not owning a single plush. Thanks to this channel, I've grown a stronger appreciation for plushes, so much so that I wanted to fix the whole not owning a plush thing. I just bought a damaged but fixable Kellytoy (I think, the tag was cut off) Spyro plush for $16 off eBay and a Senei "Super Mario" Mario plush for $10, don't worry, it's official. I bought it straight from Amazon and I have Prime. I don't plan on having a big collection or even having more than one plush of the same character, but I do plan on getting a few more.
When will you review the Dennys' Sonic Underground plush set?
Agreed. I have the Sonic, and it's probably one of, if not the best restuarant toys ever.
NEVER, HA HA
I have the Knuckles, and it's the closest you'll get to a Classic Knuckles.
Christme Productions what about the UFO catcher super Mario kart plush set
oh my god
10:50 That looks so beautiful, a TOMY Sonic SOAP shoes figure
I Remember wanting the Sonic one, I saw it at KB Toys Many years ago, But Mom Told me to put it back, R.I.P. x'D
Master Sashimi i saw the sonic one on Amazon for 149.99 dollars with the box he was the only one i can find and he was in stock but i dont know the email and the zipcode only my mom knows what it is so i may have luck to get him yet i wanna know why ur mom said to put sonic back? How much did he cost? Becoz back then he wouldn't cost hundreds of dollars
Oh I'm sorry guys&gals F in the chat for the that master S mom made a sad mistake
RUDE!!!!
Maybe resaurus was better
Oh my god, I had both off these.
I actually ripped off Sonic's arms BECAUSE the wires were worn out
The Shadow one was much more sturdy and well made
Shadows shoes were my favorite detail
I would pop off their heads and switch them
Fun Fact: Shadow's neck plug is bigger than Sonic's.
Use that information as you please.

Where's a new soap shoe sonic figure?, Tomy: what's soap shoes?
Jakks paficic: HMMMMMMMMMMM
You should do a look back on the Sonic and Knuckles figures from Tomy(I'm talking about the figures that Tomy made to promote Sonic and Knuckles on the Mega drive/Genesis).
I'm very curious, what was your reaction when your sonic ice cream videos got over 300k views in less than a month
does anyone remember that stop motion serious that had these figures and Mario ones? The plot had to do with Wario turning into a dinosaur, I need the nostalgia trip! (edit: its called "mario and sonic part 1")
I had the sonic figure when I was little and I remember it starting to smell weird overtime. Probably had to do with the flexible plastic it was made of.
I've never seen the Joyride SA2 Sonic figure in my entire life, prior to this video.
SOLARFARLE The Beauty Queen same
So glad they are making figs like this I'[ve wanted these for a while and now my dream can kinda come true.
PATMAC u are my favorite RUclipsr ever sene u replyed to me in ur 25th anniversary plush review I like all your vids even if your video is a Kirby video which is a game I haven't played I clicked on it immediately I found your channel when u uploaded sonic adventure 2 plushies u are the best RUclipsr
I’ve learned anytime Patmac makes a video on something the price triples
5:05 I really like this image.( *missed opportunity* )
I Strangely Like Tomy's Classic Sonic Action Figure.
Radic The Hedgehog yeah who doesn’t
The classic tomy figures are good.
Haha, that's my Prototype sonic in the pic in the video. It's the pic with it being in the middle next to sonic and shadow.
Fricken love these figures dude I wish I had them
Could you remake some of your older videos, specifically Mario RPG and ReSaurus Sonic? It's not the same without your voice.
Both of those videos will absolutely be remade someday! In some way, this video can actually sorta be seen as a remake of my old video on tons of bendy Sonic figures, as I did feature the Joyride figures. Of course this video is far more in depth than that one but yeah. I'm actually kinda worried that when I do remake ReSaurus Sonic, it'll be like 2 hours long lol, but it'll happen eventually.
Haha, great to hear.
Boring adventure 2
BRUH how did Joyride go out of business, they made stuff for like EVERY popular game!!
Yeah right?
Not to mention that everything they made was very high quality.
1:33 sonic its like saying
"hey can you get off of this thing?"
You gotta make more videos, they're so weirdly entertaining!
Thank you! I'd love to be able to make videos more often, but I just don't have the time right now. I have a few shorter videos in the works at the moment though so those hopefully shouldn't take too long to come out.
I found the Sonic at salvation army, sadly no base.
Oh
I GET IT.
get what
Cool Frost OH I GET IT
Good Joke you didn't mean to make.
Ahhhh yes.
We have sonic the hedgehog.
Shadow the hedgehog.
And stone the hedgehog.
(Original character do not steal)
literally "ah yes" with 4 h's and no "my" or "favorite"
that's fucking it
Sonic lighters look "lit".
go ahead and burn me
Not as lit as California
*cracks nuckles*
Please I burnt covid-19
I would burn you but that's a pretty FIRE Joke.
I can't wait to play the hot new arcade game, Sonic The Lighters!
Hey patmac. I just went to toys r us earlier tonight and i got the modern sonic comic pack. Also they had the metalic shadow sonic and eggman pack but they were upside down in the package!!
TheDinocoRacer holy cow bro you watch him too
DJstromfan 13446865 yeah. Patmac was one of my inspirations for my channel
I was wondering who made these figures. I still have my Sonic figure. It's old and worn out, but I treasure it.
Yeah do you think you could come out moved to 2003 the same year as the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards.

@@PatMacYT UPDATE: I’ve now got a Sonic and a Shadow mint in their boxes. I will NOT be opening them this time 😁
@@Dope_Donuts That's great to hear, congrats!
Just found out my Sonic figure is the rerelease with the red base. Dammit. Just bought the Shadow one finally, new in box, for $100
Big wall text so apologies:
I remember how BAD I wanted the Joyride Gamepro/Nintendo Power toys but I could never find them anywhere for the life of me.
It wasn’t till maybe around 2007(right at their end) I got a few Halo 2 figures from them and for the time….hell to this day they still hold up well.
I’m a big toy collector now but back in the day I remember how blown away I was with the articulation of the Spartan figures.

A Samus Gamepro figure goes up for 800$ in package nowadays just to give you an idea how many of the others go for now.
Most Halo CE/Halo 2 ones go for about 100-200 a pop.
Great video btw. Not many people talk about Joyride studio toys anymore. They definitely did what many didn’t do back in the day.
Nice to see Im finally early to one of these.
P.S. go fst
It would be cool if you did a video on the Sanei Splatoon plush set!

Man, I had Sonic and Shadow as a kid. I scuffed up Sonic a lot because I loved playing with him, and I used Shadow so much (as he was my only toy of Shadow) that his arms both broke off TWICE. My mom had removed and replaced the wires once, and although his shoulders were torn, he still worked fine for my childhood made-up Sonic adventures. The second time I broke his arm wires, I handed him over to my mom and as far as I know, he was put in a small bag with his arms and then was misplaced. I know which room he's in, but no idea where in said room. I still have the cardboard pro-tip cards, though!! I had no idea they'd come from those figures until I saw this. At least one of them is still on my old home's wall in my room.
Damn, all of your videos are so exstensive and interesting. Keep at it and you'll get big. I hope so too :)
9:34 I didn't realize they exploded when they snapped. Good to know
I wish you would upload faster, but your videos are really good either way. You should do a Legend Of Zelda figure or plushy episode.
There are currently a sonic and shadow figure on ebay but I dont have the money to drop 300 bucks on each
I still have my precious joyride sonic figure, and I'm never selling it EVER. seriously tho, It took me a while to get my parents to buy me that figure, and it holds a special place in my heart.
*i have never clicked on a video so fast in my life*
Hey patmac could you do a look back at the jazweres plush set the one with the rare silver plush
I'd probably get too tempted to open the box of that "prototype" Sonic if I ever got it. I deserve to be burned at a stake.
Oh no you don't.
CloudySkies17695 take nothing it if the box, especially if it's kidrobot figures
Yep omoa wa mou shinderu! Insert explosion here. What I just said was you are already dead in Japanese.
I was lucky with my collection. I managed to get the prototype sonic for £40, sonic for £20 and Shadow for £75. All boxed and mint. I even have both red and grey base variants.
Zamn zanial
I obtained the sonic without his nose for less than 15 dollars.
Without this video I wouldn't have even known they existed.
Thanks PatMac
I really hope tomy will make a 2 pack with the "high speed shoes" sonic and shadow later on
:12 mightys on some stuff nice

Man toys From back in the day were 10 times better than today's toys
A look back at the Enzy New Super Mario Bros. 2006 Plush Set.
RIP Sonic and Shadow prototypes.
Your limbs may have not been bendy and of resin were your heads, but despite that, you will always have a special place in our hearts.
Cool! I have had one of these in A long time I mean was A kid back in 2003 I wish I could have got a Shadow the Hedgehog action figure for Christmas.
24:56 Actually you used another image of the prototypes in your other video looking at Sonic bendy figures. It shows mostly Sonic with a little bit of Shadow present on the left of the screen. But more importantly, the other image shows a different background... hmm...
This game was amazing
Wrong it is awful and Boring adventure 2
gabriel valiente not really, it has the best story, gameplay variety, music is really great, it introduced fan favorites like shadow and rouge, the chao garden is a fun little distraction, and has tons of content and re-playability.
@@gabrielvaliente4840 quit trying to anger people, it’s annoying
@@gabrielvaliente4840 you stupid adventure 2
I remember begging my parents for these but they couldn't find them in any stores. I don't even remember where I heard about them as a kid but now the prices are crazy.
5:26 At end of the catalog of the figure it says Zelda and Samus from smash melee, ¿are those even out?,¿Could someone tell me whats with that?...¿¡ There was a SmAsH BrOs ToY lInE!?!
19:17 shadow looks like he’s sticking up the middle finger
SEGA’s depiction of Shadow the Hedgehog.
Just moved into my first house and dug out the old toy boy from the attic of my childhood home and whaddya know I have this Sonic and the stand in good condition haha.
11:39 the one on the far right and far left kinda creep me out for some reason...
P-P-Panda i can see why its creepy becoz HIS EYES R HUGE! Unlike with the game version of sonic this sonic is SCARY! BURN IT!!!!!!!
I GOTTA FLAME THROWER
You've just insulted me saying that my boy ReSaurus Sonic was creepy
Awesome. Now I really want these!!
Sonic makes all types of products? OK where's my Sonic horse saddle?
What I wish is if tomy made modern sonic with soap shoes in a two pack with shadow cool right
AWESOME BRO
I bought my figure boxed in 2008. He came with scuffed marks when I unboxed him. It's especially visible in the head sculpt of the eyes.
i distinctly remember having the bagged sonic figure as a young kid but its long gone now
I'm lucky enough to have gotten the Sonic figure for $12 with his stand last year XD
I think the shadow figure's rerelease had a sonic adventure DX sticker because weirdly sonic adventure 2 battle was released on GameCube first (in 2002), then the DX port was released a year later (in 2003). I assume the shadow figure was a promo for the newly released sonic adventure DX.
I've always wanted these figures.
wait these are bendy figures and don't have joints
OH MY GOD THESE ARE THE BESTSFHLEGHEUIFSHOIDFHSL
Jakks :)
I never understood the hype of these bendys. Sure sonic has the soap shoes but thats just it? These figures are mediocre at best. I would never spend that high amount of money to a bendy that would break easily
Is this we're Jack's spacific got the inspiration for their bendy figure toy line😮
@@TheunknownuserM07 gotta disagree there, they look great on display
So if you have one of these,you can tear sonics shoes off and put it on a tomy/jazwares/jakks sonic?
Theoretically yes but why ruin it
I had figures like these when I was a kid.
I bent the limbs so much that they started to wear and you could see the wires under the skin.
After a while they did end up falling off.
Yay more patmac. I have waited years for this...
