![]() ![]() All the details are present (blue ear edges included as well as shoe details) and the size is nice.but it just doesn't come across as 'quality' due to the stuffing level & face patterning. He is under-stuffed, as noted by the floppy spikes & wrinkling. As with their other sizes (of plain dolls, at least) it's merely ok. This one happens to be their 15 inch size. Toy Network had.a bunch of different sizes they produced plushes in. The plush is under 10 inches, but likely to be fairly pricey (because everything they do seems to be, thus far) Photo by Taaron The mouth may be odd but it's too hard to tell from just this photo. He doesn't have 'big body', the hands & feet seem an ok size & the head/eyes are all right enough. Is Tomy going to get into modern character plushes? (one could hope) But, from this angle, it doesn't seem too terrible. This may be supposed to be 'cheering Tails' stock art, or maybe a flying pose where one hand was a fist? It's hard to tell, but do note that this is Modern Tails instead of classic.which is what they usually do. This plush has a raised fist (is it sewn up like that?) and a clearly open mouth. The Tomy "Posed Plush" continues at the end of 2017 with this Tails. Still, this is fairly interesting to see. So this plush really is a struggle for any designer "make it just like the art!" but then, it comes off as a bit odd because not everything in art translates well into an actual item. However, in a 3D actual object, it looks a little wierd. And yes.he's "closing his pupils" with those lines in the eye-white like that, but you can't blame the doll because it's that way in the classic art. It's giant, it flattens the whole front of his face & just looks kind of odd with that red 'lip line' that's going on. However.the face, especially the mouth leaves design to be desired. This one does much better in the finger department, and may be among one of the best with a posed hand. To capitalize on stock art is nothing new, the Japan plushes of the 90s attempted this as well with stuff like 'hand on hip' posed plushes and the (notorious?) "big finger" plush where he was 'pointing' or 'finger waving'. They are trying to make a doll of the classic "Laughin' Sonic" stock art. With Tomy's latest small size Sonic plush. Well, you can kind of see what they were going for here. It's sad to see Tomy with the license, and not even trying to make something good. It's not quite a 'mutant gear' thing, but really, it's borderline. It's not like the doll is tiny nor is it inexpensive, it's at least 12.00 for this sad item. Worst of all though are the hands/fingers, first off there aren't enough of them.somehow? Why only 4 fingers? Then, they're so fat and blunt and just odd/cheap looking. It has super long monkey arms, sad bent nose, & tiny odd round feet. This is probably technically a 'Boom' item, but really he's pretty similar, and it's not like the craftsmanship here is much good. Well.here's Tomy's effort at Metal Sonic. This is still being done by Sanrio/Toynami and will appear at the San Diego 2017 Comic Con. This will cost 40 dollars and is likely to be an event exclusive. The Super Sonic one used metallic gold fabric, & a smaller size was also released. The only real difference is the fabric type used. ![]() This time the Sonic-costume Hello Kitty doll is in metallic blue, with a metallic red bow to top it all off with extra shine.This is the same size & pattern as the previously released large size doll that appeared in 2016. Sonic Boom plushes will NOT appear here, as they have their own seperate page. With plushes showing up at offline retail stores and online at more places like Amazon & Target, (and Toys R US too) plush availability seems to be on the rise. This page will have a focus on 2013-2015 plushes, likely from GE Entertainment, Nanco Nancy. This page has only MODERN (post-Sonic Adventure-era) plush dolls.
