I think Jakks has the potential seeing as there bringing never before released figures to the table.

God, seeing that wall of Toys R Us Jazwares figures gave me such a strong feeling of nostalgia! I wish I could go back! God, I remember when my Dad would take me to Toys R Us during the summer after a track meet and would let me pick out some Sonic and Pokemon toys. And then on our way to the checkout isle I would go through the comic books and grab all of the Archie Sonic comics they had! Those were the days...

I grew up with jazwares but I love mainly because of how reasonable priced they are and they starting to make characters of merch we never had and it awesome. Jazwares still my favorite but jakks has great potential to be the next jazwares

The Jazwares figures increased in price over time. I recall it being the following range from start of release to end of their licensing life. 3 inch: $5-$8 Comic pack: $12-$16 3-packs: $15-$18 5 inch: $9-$13 10 inch: $15-$20

“Sonic with giraffe shit on him”💀

6:28 this is my favorite part

The one pet peeve I have is the 2.5 inch and the 4 inch playset compatibility. I wish Jakks would have stuck with just making a 3 inch figure line and do what jazwares did and just add the accessory with the 3 inch figure. I don't want to buy the same figure in different sizes.

I haven’t taken the Jakks figures out of their boxes but from what I look at, I absolutely love them so much! My favorites of the series so far are Classic Sonic, Amy, and Silver. All in the four inch set. I do have some 2.5 fella and they’re cute too, such a fantastic price set too! Sonic and Tails with the tornado for only $20 is just one of few “Yes please!” Moments I only have a few more wish characters in Blaze, classic Amy, Sally, Tikal, and I guess whichever movie characters come in the future. As of now I have everyone I want. Good comparison here pal. Good humor and inserts as well.

Honestly how come no one has done a full in depth analyse on these two companies, Thanks a ton bro.

As obvious as this was, it's still cool to confirm it. I never started collecting Sonic figures and plushies till Jakks strated making them. Mostly because I appreciate them doing so much Chao stuff. While I don't like that ugly gold Chao figure, the cheese and dark Chao plush are amazing.

10:46 Strangely enough, when i was about 8 I specifically remember seeing the Jazwares Sir Galahad figure (Black Knight Silver) in Walmart, by itself, not even on the toy isle, just on a weird cardboard rack that was filled with random items by the toy isle It confused the hell out of me because it had the "Toys r us" exclusive sticker yet it was there. I didnt buy it because my parents said no, but oh my god did i want that sucker so bad. And to this day i still dont understand why it was there

6:27 story of my life right here

This was absolutely great to watch. The jokes, editing, structure, all of it. Subbed 👌

Honestly for Jakks, I think they would superior if they also had elbow articulation as well. They are fine as it is but idk, feel like yeah Jakks is better because they actually have characters that Jazwares hasn't done (Thi ngl, Jazwares is special to me cause of Sonic Stop Motion Adventures)

Though what is the deciding factor between jazwares and Jakks is the Playsets and accuracy to the source material. For example, we got a whole Egg Mobile playset with bosses accurate from the games. Not only that whole playsets are based on zones that are clearly based on Sonic Mania. I just wish they were bigger like the papercraft dioramas that was custom-made. Or maybe one day we get an actual death egg playset.

I think jazwares is kinda overrated. I mean the jazwares figures where priced well and had good articulation, but jakks pacific has made figures of characters who haven't had a figure for a while or are just getting their first figure.

I can’t decide I like them both Also I did not know that jakks has various sonic toys in stock in Walmart but the thing is that I have the WORST luck going to a Walmart finding at least one 4inch figure of any character for me to take home for my obess- i mean collection all I find is the 2.5 check out lanes and the team sonic racing diecast that I don’t know anyone cares about because the marketing for tsr was pretty dead

I like jakks lineup more, like I wanted an omega forever, but the jazzwares line was absolute perfection especially in the articulation department

Great analysis i needed to hear this because i have both jazz and jakks sonic figers lol. I hope more people can discus this topic.

Jakks Pacific over Jazwares for six reasons. 1. They don’t take Super 7 years just to get one or two new characters out per series. Blaze anyone? 2. They don’t fall apart in your hands. 3. Better variety of figures and in the case of Team Dark, we’re not waiting as long just to complete our teams either. 4. As much as I dislike Jakks’ constant inclusion of Modern and Classic Sonic in every wave, at least they bothered to change them up even just a little compared to the constant repacks of Jazwares with the occasional new accessory just to make people buy them again. That’s as much I’ll give them that. 5. The quality control is more competent than the horror show that were the Jazwares where you’ll either get a stable figure or a figure with a broken leg out of the box. There’s no in between. 6. Scaling and proportions are a lot better with the Jakks figures where you don’t have a Tails standing as tall as Sonic or a Shadow that looks too lanky in the limbs.

Congrats on 10K ❤😎❤

9.94k Subs! Wow You Grew A lot! I Was Here From 2k-Now.

I NEED THAT SIR GALHAD TOY RIGHT NOW!!!

I got a video idea: you should make a video going over different sonic fan games. You don't nessacerally have to play them if you don't want to, but i think it would be a fun way to shout out another side of the sonic community. also great video man hope you reach 10k soon :)

7:49 Idk why but this made me laugh so hard

Just subscribed very good break down

now this is the kind of content I need

7:48 Jazwazwares wins for THE CHOCOLATE HIGH DIVE!

Absolutely shocked u didn’t do a segment for articulation. Where Jazwares absolutely clears

Ngl, We need articulation in the elbows

I collected a few Jazwares and I really enjoyed them for what they were, they definitely had issues though, QC and having plastic pin joints that small made things easy to break or be really loose. While the Jakks toys don't have as much articulation, they are a bit more polished with the paint and with less mold lines and more consistent paint. Thing is, I do think we will be getting 4 inch toys with elbow bends with new molds for the ones that dont have them, theyre just running the old molds to finish first. Rouge has elbows which surprised when i opened her yesterday.

When you said that Walmart has a bunch of sonic stuff, I just 100 percent agreed! Because half of my entire sonic figure collection was from Walmart

The Chaos and Super Sonic figures have manifested into my local HEB

fun little fact for 11:08 from a Canadian, we still have toys r us, like it's literally my go to store as a toy collector and I go there commonly, however... they don't really have much of Sonic. Of all the toys r us stores I've been to recently the most I can find is a small corner of isle filled with the same 2 giant classic plushes and one box of classic sonic craftables figures

Jakks is making a Chaos. Debate over

Every time I go to target there’s at least one 4 inch figure, but I kind of wish they had Toys “R” Us still open with that huge aisle of sonic stuff

I personally love Jakks for giving us figures like Rouge and Mighty, but Jazwares will always be the winner to me. Not just because I grew up with those, but because they made a lot more figures based on games. Free Riders, Black Knight, All Stars Racing, Colors, and releasing the classic figures once Generations came out. Obviously Jakks is still fairly recent, and haven't had as much happen. But they have covered the Sonic movie franchise, and they'll be making Sonic Prime figures soon. I think that both are excellent, and that there shouldn't even be a debate. But I'm sure we can all agree: Tomy was worse than both of them.

This was the first video I've seen on my phone in January 2023

Jakk specific is pretty poggers Yeah that's all I got, great video

7:46 this got me outta nowhere💀 I don’t know why

I personally think jakks,and also damn didn't expect a vid,but I'm glad to see it

Finally... a good debate of the century Jazwares vs Jakks

i live in canada on toys r us is still in business and they have a whole sonic section like jaswares did

And thankfully vectors mouth can close so he's not stuck with a traumatized face lol. I love jazwares but as Jakks grows I think the Jakks line will be the best line the series will get.

Meanwhile People Fight For Say Who Is Better 3'' Sonic And 4'' Sonic Are Relaxing Drinking Coffe

While the Jakks line got me back into collecting Sonic figures, Jazwares got me into it in the first place. I still remember the first and last figures I bought from that line (being Werehog and Sir Lancelot)

Ayo Grand Metropolis stage music around the 6:00 mark is just based. My jam right there.

Jazwares fans when their figure they just bought joints permanently breaks

Bulba you saved me, you made a video on my birthday 😁

Jakks has Omega, Chaos, Infinite, Mephiles, Cream, Rouge, and Neo Metal Sonic. They are objectively better in terms of character variety now!

Jaz Sonic never being in walmart always pissed me off as a kid since after a certain point we never went back to toys r us

I lost it at comparing Tomy to the mitten 🤣

Here in Canada they do sell Jakks Pacific Sonic products at Toys-R-Us (because Toys-R-Us is still open in Canada)

I’m thinking of getting the jakks line wish I didn’t have to cut the figure and drill into it just for elbow joints though

Love this video, but I have to make one add-on that I hope makes the score more 4-1: Inflation. Yes, even if we go from the Jazwares end of 2013 and Jakks' start of 2018, there's a significant bump of about 8%. To make it more clear/unfair, gonna go with 2009 price inflated to 2018 via US Inflation Calculator(a bump of 17% because longer timeframe plus changes in Chinese factory pricing, various financial crises, etc): - A single 2.5-3" figure Jazwares: $7.02 Jakks: $4.99 - A 2.5-3" figure PLUS accessory/Badnik (which was like...10-12 USD from memory. Jakks is hard to find, I think I've seen it for the price shown in store) Jazwares: $11.70 Jakks: $6.99 - 2.5 multipack sets/playsets Jazwares: $24.57 Jakks: $19.99 It goes on from there, but I highly disagree with the original point on price. Another thing to think about was 'relative cost/value'. At the time Jazwares had the license, Transformers, GI Joe 25th, Marvel, etc? All at or below $10(2009 money) for 4-6" figures, some with incredible parts counts, detail/paint, and accessories. Now? All those lines are pushing 20-25. Sonic toys today by that metric are so much better in value. I also love the move away from Badniks being cheap, mono-mold inclusions to being their own figures. Jazwares has, however, greatly improved over the years, so if they got the line back and put as much effort in as their Fortnite line? I'd be happy with that.

If jazwares implements elbow joints it’s over

Well, I seen how it looks. And pretty much they’ve seem different in stores is like usually like new around there a revisit characters and new figures! 👍🏻🖤🇰🇭💗🙏🇺🇸💙🦔

You don’t know, but Toys “R” Us is still alive in different countries

blud forgot the existance of inflation

I still own all my Jazzwares figures. They’re still in good shape too!

When you said people just have to buy another character to just get a new accessory some people can actually make the character that got into like a custom

I still love my Jazwares sonic even though I pretty much have all of the Jackks I stll have him sitting on my shelf with the new collection

I know Jazwares has the TRU advantage, but the availability for characters (other than Sonic himself) was night and day between the two companies. Yes Walmart gets Jakks figures, but I have never seen a character there that wasn't Sonic or Tails. And it would take me weeks of stopping in Targets to find a character like Big or Amy. With Jazwares, I knew that TRU would have shelves of every character as soon as they released. Never had to hunt.

Toys r us is still in Canada and they have a pretty good Sonic section!

Jakks is the best due to their new line of 50 dollar articulated sonic figures

Thanks to Jakks, I was finally able to afford a Metal Sonic figure, and I was pretty excited when they made silver Sonic as well. My biggest hope is that they release Sonic 3’s mecha sonic.

Jazwares made Blaze and Jakks hasn't yet so...

I totally agree with it being jakks specific being the better toy line it is honestly better in general

It sucks that toys r us is gone. Jakks is so hard to find today

Jazwares has the two Black Knight Sonic figures and the one Black Knight Shadow and Silver figure as there starter line up so it’s between the endless potential of Jakks Pacific or the infinite greatness of Jazwares

The only thing that surprised me in this vid was the news toys r us was going out of business, when i recently went to one located at my nearest mall just to look at a raptor animatronic. And its kinda depressing to not see any form of sonic toys there. Instead theres bayblade and yugi-oh cards. Nostalgic. But i still left the store taking an L

i just got back from Walmart with a jakks tails Minifigure and saw this

Jazwares baby metal sonic : at less I’m a baby jacks metal sonic at less I have bitchies

Bro I always had a problem with my jazzwares vector. I had two and both time his legs just broke off

Would be cool to see one of these for BanDai vs Playmates in regards to Ben 10, even though the latter only ever worked on one show Or even for Pokémon, though idk if they had different toy makes throughout the years

I thought that jakks pacific toys had cheap joints, BUT HOLY FRICK, apparently jazwares are even cheaper. wow

In my opinion I think jakks pacific is better because I can find them in stores for a decent price compared to paying 60 dollars for a poorly painted shadow action figure

I have the Classic Mighty figure. I love it.

7:48 The Metallic Paint High-Dive!

My jacks sonic figures have been in storage for a year and my sonic holdings a chilli dog broke and my amy figure broke her leg but I was able to fix it

My collection is mostly Jakks because my family loves going to Walmart the most.

Ah yes, the debate of the century hehehe! 😆😉 If I got the cash to buy something, I would honestly buy both Jazwares and Jakks Pacific Sonic Figures, both so far have Sonic characters that range from common, rare, and to even obscure sonic figures.

Grrrrrrreat now I wish I had a toysrus

10K SUBS!

In canada, Jakks has stuff at Toys R Us

My art is in the video

You know…if it ever happens and idk and idt it will but…if sega gave Jazzwares the sonic license back that would be sick AF.

Jakks second hand market prices are beginning to get out of hand. Literally cannot find a super shadow for less that 80 dollars

0:17 🐽🐽🐽🐷🐷 fav part of video

Jakks, and I'll tell you why. Because almost all of my Jazwares figures broke not long after I bought them. You'd think it was just me, but no. I've seen tons of people's who have also broken. These new ones are sturdy and have just the right amount of articulation. :03

Imagine if you included rereleases for jakks there would have like 10000 figures

Jakks is pretty rare in germany although they have german printing on the packaging. I never see them anywhere and need to order from the UK or US …

Here’s my counter argument, nostalgia nostalgia, I grew up with Jazwares

I love how all good main line sonic figure Starts with a letter J

It’s simple Jakks……*video ends*

Toys R Us is till open in Canada, and there aren’t that many jakks pacific sonic toys, the only one I found there last time I went was a tails plush from the 30th anniversary.

Alright fair point but only the $50 figures have elbow joints

I think that Jazwares has more articulated toys. But jakks has more color and more of a realistic touch if wanna call it that

If Jakks puts out Tikal and E-102 [with Froggy accessory] 4" figures then I'll be more or less fulfilled. We'll finally have the complete Sonic Adventure 1 cast. Nack the Weasel/Fang the Sniper (getting some spotlight due to Sonic Superstars) and S3&K "Mecha Sonic" 4" figures would also really make me happy, and not impossible given they're releasing a metal Sonic 3.0 toy. Other than that, more 2.5" badniks. Biggest issue I have with Jakks is lack of availability for some figures in Canada. You basically *have* to use eBay scalpers or US 2nd hand sites, which gets expensive. But the figures themselves are fantastic. Hope they keep the Sonic license for several more years.

I never got to get a jazwares figure but I do like Jakks toys though. I just wish they also had 12 points of articulation like come on, why wouldnt Sonic and friends want to bend their elbows? The collectors edition solves that problem but $50 for one Sonic toy that gives what they should already have is crazy
