JAKKS Sonic The Hedgehog 30th Anniversary Figure 005

Pre-orders have started to go live for a new 6″ tall Sonic figure from JAKKS Pacific. The upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog Collector Edition 6″ Action Figure is being released to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of SEGA’s iconic mascot. Released in 1991, Sonic The Hedgehog was the shot in the arm that the SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive needed. It brought intense speed, great platforming, and a wonderful slate of characters to the system. On top of that Sonic became SEGA’s much needed mascot to compete against Nintendo in the 1990’s.

The new Sonic 6″ Figure is fully articulated. It includes three sets of swap out eyes, three swap out mouth parts, and three sets of interchangeable hands, including one holding a gold ring. A diorama display stand is included as well. The figure has a suggested retail price if $49.99 (some stores have it marked lower). It’s due for release this month. See the new photos after the jump.

Along with the stylized paint scheme, the figure will come in vintage style packaging featuring artwork from the poster.

Next year, a new Mega Man cartoon series will debut on Cartoon Network. The new show is being developed by Man of Action Studios and will be produced by Dentsu Entertainment USA and DHX Media. It will be based on the original version of classic game series, though it appears to be a loose interpretation of those characters.

According to a new post a Licensing.biz, they have reached an agreement with Jakks Pacific to be the worldwide Master Toy License holder for the new show. Jakks Pacific will produce a series of new action figures, play sets, dress up items, and more. We will update when more details are available.

The Joker is wild, and to celebrate Batman Day we’re taking a look at the Entertainment Earth exclusive Jakks Pacific Big Figs Jokers Wild Batman! This is a 19 inch basic articulation Batman Vs. Superman Batman figure, with one twist – he’s solid white with Joker spray paint all over! This was a first release back at SDCC 2016 and Enertainment Earth still has some available.

Normally we don’t cover or shoot the larger basic figures here at Toyark, but this piece is a bit different. I dig the artistic side to it, and it works if you look at it as a giant Batman statue that the Joker defaced. In that light, he works perfect with any 6 or 7 inch Joker figure. We’ve done up some shots of it, check it out after the break!
