Diamond Select Toys to produce Sonic The Hedgehog Toys

Posted on February 14, 2018 at 1:08 pm by Joe Moore under Video Game Toy News

A new assortment of toys based on the Sonic The Hedgehog franchise is coming from Diamond Select Toys. They have announced the new license acquisition via Diamond Toy Chest News. We’ll be getting our first look at the Sonic toys this weekend at Toy Fair 2018! It sounds like these will be more of their stylized figures, such as Minimates and Vinimates, as well as statues and PVC figureines. There’s no mention of Select style action figures. Check out the details below.

In 1991, the SEGA game Sonic The Hedgehog introduced a new hero to the video game world. Fast, blue and full of attitude, Sonic became a superstar, and went on to star in dozens of games over his 27-year history. Now, Diamond Select Toys has teamed with SEGA to create a line of high-quality Sonic the Hedgehog collectibles for fans young and old!

The first products will be on display at the International Toy Fair in New York City, with a focus on the core Sonic characters — the speedy hedgehog Sonic, the energetic Amy, Tails the two-tailed flying fox,  Knuckles the powerful Echidna, Shadow the anti-hero hedgehog, Metal Sonic the evil robot hedgehog, and the mustachioed mastermind Dr. Eggman. Product categories include Gallery PVC dioramas, Minimates block figures, Vinimates vinyl figures and PVC mini-figures with collect-and-connect racetracks.

“It’s an honor and a challenge to develop products based a world with such a long history and distinctive style,” said Diamond Select Toys president Chuck Terceira. “The Sonic Universe has so many possibilities that we are excited to explore – in our established categories, like Vinimates, Minimates and Gallery PVCs, but also the PVC mini-figure category, which we are diving into for the first time!”

Diamond Select Toys expects to have their first Sonic products on the market by holiday 2018 and plans to offer them to retailers beginning this month. Gallery PVC dioramas are approximately 9-inch scale sculpted statues, made of PVC for its durability and lower price point. Vinimates are posed, 4-inch block-style figures, and Minimates are 2-inch, fully poseable block figures that recently celebrated their 15th anniversary.

    Minimates and Vinimates? Pass! I too thought Select figures would have been better news. I wonder who even buys Vinimates...I see that line being cancelled this year.

    I was really hoping too that Diamond Select would also be ding Select figures on these too, but maybe they're waiting for Toy fair to officially announce it... at least one can hope.

    Wouldn't it be cool if we got 7in versions of both Sonic and Crash in the same year. Now that would be a neat little display... oh well. Good news for Minimate and Vinimate collectors I guess.

    I guess the "action figure" part of the Sonic license still belongs to Jazwares.

    It's frustrating when a company has the rights to a favorite movie/comic/game character but will only make big-headed caricatures and little Lego Man-style figures for several years and sometimes never gets around to making just a plain, simple action figure.

    I really want 4-6” figs of classic era Tails and Knuckles. I missed out on the 25pts-articulated ‘Super Posers’ ones from like 5 years ago (not sure the exact year) and now they go for 50-150 for each figure.

    Hoping for Pixel Pals of Tails and Knuckles eventually too, I bought the Sonic

    Wouldn’t let me post the actual link

    Anyways, while I’m not excited for those minimates at all, I am very excited for the sonic and tails statues(?) that are gonna be sold at GameStop that are in the pics, they look awesome. Any idea how much they’ll be?
