That whitish paint-thing between their eyes is actually intentional. In the movies they did it to get rid of Sonic's single eye with to pupils, but to still remain the outlines of it. So, on a $15 figure such a thing just doesn't look really good.
@@AnthonysCustomsThat was my thoughts exactly! I debated between getting these and the regular 4 inch (non-movie) inspired line for the kiddos. Ultimately I went with these.
The clear lines on the back of the Sonic figure was supposed to have a light up feature which they re-released him in a 4 pack with Shadow, Knuckles, and Tails (with tails having an angry head sculpt) they axed the light up feature on the first wave reiease but did it on the 4 pack which removed head movement and torso movement. They did it too with the Super Sonic having those clear lines and Shadow by re-releasing Super sonic with a light up feature but making a new figure being Super shadow.
@AnthonysCustoms it's a plastic mold inside but you get the idea since I'm guessing they released the first wave way too quickly and originally wanted to add the light up feature but held off me to do it on the packs. They may make a fourth wave of figures since we got a super shadow with light up features as I mentioned maybe they might make him without the light up features. Only issue idk who else they might make maybe it being Eggman's grandfather and the *spoiler* character we see at the end.
No they’re not. It’s on him because the thought process was if you shine a light through it the eyes light up. It just didn’t work well. Its not remnants of the light up figures
I miss the days when Marvel Legends were just $15. That was the max I was willing to pay for them. Now I just wait for clearance. The blue lines in Sonic's head are his quills. They are supposed to glow.
I can’t wait to see people make customs of these that look closer to the games. My brother bought these and they’re a ton of fun to pose around. I think he’ll fit right into a smash brothers display with the SH Figuarts Mario line
.....................Shadow is everyones favorite character. I won't be shocked if there is a solo Shadow movie. Seriously.....do the movie guys. You will only make more money. And it's Shadow voiced by Reeves. But seriously I want a Shadow movie.
Just picked up the Super Sonic and they've actually given him a sparkling yellow paint job. Looks amazing..........these figures are way better than they should be for the price. Jakks knocked them out the park
3:55 I guess Sonic having Soap shoes is a rarity because of the limited brand deal or whatever, but they could totally fudge it and name them something different... that Adventure 2 look is choice for Sonic, no question.
So much fun. I have Sonic and Shadow, and both purchases put a big smile on my face. It was a nice break from the subtle but unmistakable weariness that comes from collecting most other retail figures.
Such a good figure, such a solid movie. Great stuff. I love them both but Big Blue is probably my favorite of the Two. Love the simplicity of him. A fun gun who loves adventure. Yea sonics head definitely isn’t as good. Although the clear pieces are for when he uses his powers Also yes, Soap Shoes.
the weird clear blue head quills are because jakks used the same head sculpt on this and the light up figure that is included in the target exclusive 4 pack
The weird things in the hair are clear blue plastic they made it for the light up sonic from the 4 pack set including a light up shadow, they used the same head to save money I think
He’s only the only 1 I have from target. Shadow all I could find is a glow in the dark version & a one with a bike. Just wanted a single release like this.
As a figure, I enjoy Sonic more, with the lighter head and the regular hips instead of the Y-joints Shadow has, making him easier to pose. Both are excellent figures and Jakks really outdid themselves with these. Tails less so but still. Knuckles is part of Wave 2 alongside Super Sonic, which may be why it's hard to find in the US for the time being. As a European I'll have to wait a few more weeks at least to get them I guess. Wave 3 leaked a while back and contains, and this is spoilers for the movie for those who don't want to know, Super Shadow alongside a repack of Knuckles, Sonic with the Master Emerald and Gerald Robotnik.
4:43 they are supposed to be a bit different with Shadow having more of a darker tone to his muzzle/mouth thingy, Sonic's definitely a bit pale here tho
Do you still do custom work Anthony? I just wondered if you paint figures like Sonic when you get em? Cause I agree, he is a bit pale, but I think that figure would look amazing with a good paint job! Sik
The dark blue on his quils are light piping like a transformer, shine light in it and they glow. Only issue, it barely works! So they just stay there and look ugly
I did a mod where I was able to open up the index finger. Kind of looks like a trigger finger. Heat up hand take peg out and slice down the side of index with razor blade. Put peg and hand back and wuuuuaahla
Jakks. Gave this figures as much love as the writers did with the movie.. sonic skonnit is. Lighter thah. Shadows thats acurate... Super sonoc is phenomenal. And. Knickles as well hope. You can find it and review it ... If you cant. Find the sibgle rrlease. The 4 pack is. Easier to find and the kight up frature inn those sinic and shadow are worth reviewing as well
@@AnthonysCustoms depends on the game/artwork but his skin is generally darker, on some the cover art of SA2 it shows the biggest difference and almost every shadow figure I’ve had has been that much darker whether it’s accurate or not
I don’t think sonic is supposed to be THAT pale but Sonic’s “skin” tone is typically lighter than shadows, shadow has a tan for some reason compared to sonic in most games I’ve seen him in

remember when Hasbros shamelessly released that $20 Spider-Ham, that too 6 years ago? and this figure in 2024 costs $15

correct
These Sonic figures did not survive the Christmas Eve rush at my Walmart.
It's an awesome toy. I wouldn't call it a collectible if that's what people are looking for. But for me to play with my boys, the line is great toys.
i think it crosses the lines
@@AnthonysCustomsThat was my thoughts exactly! I debated between getting these and the regular 4 inch (non-movie) inspired line for the kiddos. Ultimately I went with these.
Butterflies and palm articulation for $15? Why does it feel like Anthony's been designing these figures ? 🙊

they arent clear though

The blue lines are the quills instead of the rest which is fur

i knew i would like it but i wasn't expecting to enjoy it so much, makes me wish i was more of a sonic fan
I wish the game based figures had this much articulation. :(
me too
Some of the sonic prime figures are close to the games, like the shadow figure from that line has lots of articulation and looks a lot like the game
2 reviews in 1 day! This is a monumental moment
Just picked up the Super Sonic and they've actually given him a sparkling yellow paint job. Looks amazing..........these figures are way better than they should be for the price. Jakks knocked them out the park
Finally, someone speaks the truth how bout Sonic should have his adventure 2 shoes. They were so good

Also yes, Soap Shoes.
I own many Sonic figures and yes I agree, this is definitely one of the best Sonic figures despite being from the movies.

Anthony really doesn't rest. Haha, We appreciate the content.
Can’t wait for the Super Shadow to drop, hopefully in the next wave 🦔
I think Shadow is supposed to have a lot more melanin in his skin compared to Sonic, yeah.
I still think this line is underrated, they're definitely in my 10 of the year, especially in the articulation department
I saw a shelf full of sonic, tails, and shadow, at gamestop. I'm guessing knuckles is the hardest one to find.
He’s only the only 1 I have from target. Shadow all I could find is a glow in the dark version & a one with a bike. Just wanted a single release like this.
The blue lines on the hairs meant to light up. They took out the feature for the single release
I don’t remember my regular sonic having that head mold , only the one with the light up feature. They probably messed up by accident
My favorite character from the Sonic franchise is E-102 "γ" (Gamma) from Sonic Adventure
As a figure, I enjoy Sonic more, with the lighter head and the regular hips instead of the Y-joints Shadow has, making him easier to pose. Both are excellent figures and Jakks really outdid themselves with these. Tails less so but still.

I wish they would do sonic adventure 2 figures like this
Jakks really did good with these movie figures 🔥🔥🔥
How do you reseal your packaging so well?
The black lines in his hair are because he’s going fast!
Out of sonic and shadow, knuckles is my favorite character. I've never played a game with shadow in it
@@kaioken654 Really? I’m assigning you some homework. Go home and play Sonic Adventure 2.

Shadow 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😤
Just to be petty i'd love a video comparing these $15 to hasbro's $15 figures
Does have have 15 dollar figures right now?
My only issue is the finger articulation. The way the thumb is looked really odd if you open up the fingers.
I did a mod where I was able to open up the index finger. Kind of looks like a trigger finger. Heat up hand take peg out and slice down the side of index with razor blade. Put peg and hand back and wuuuuaahla
Knuckles is in Wave 2 with Super Sonic.
yes
The blue lines are there because the reused the super sonic/super shadow light up figure mold
Only this one doesn’t light up
but these ones are design to light up.
Jakks. Gave this figures as much love as the writers did with the movie.. sonic skonnit is. Lighter thah. Shadows thats acurate... Super sonoc is phenomenal. And. Knickles as well hope. You can find it and review it ... If you cant. Find the sibgle rrlease. The 4 pack is. Easier to find and the kight up frature inn those sinic and shadow are worth reviewing as well
Shadow has always had darker skin than sonic
I didn't think it was this much though, was it?
@@AnthonysCustoms depends on the game/artwork but his skin is generally darker, on some the cover art of SA2 it shows the biggest difference and almost every shadow figure I’ve had has been that much darker whether it’s accurate or not
Sonic :V
sonic is far more pale in the games and movies compared to shadow
The soap shoes are very overrated. There's a reason they're not used anymore, and nothing beats the classics.
Shadow always has been always will but when Sonic is a total d*** I enjoy his character
3rd
I don’t think sonic is supposed to be THAT pale but Sonic’s “skin” tone is typically lighter than shadows, shadow has a tan for some reason compared to sonic in most games I’ve seen him in
True
first comment lets go 🥱
double upload is insane
