In 2014, it was announced that Tomy would be the new master toy partner for Sonic The Hedgehog. They started making merchandise for the Sonic Boom franchise in that year and from there it’s been a wild rollercoaster for the toy producer and consumers of their products. Tony has had to do something no other Sonic master toy partner has had to do, make toy lines for 3 different versions of Sonic The Hedgehog. Did this provide diversity and variety for quality Sonic The Hedgehog products, or did it make it convoluted and hinder the entire 5 year run? Find out in The History Of The Sonic The Hedgehog Toy line!

If Tomy spent the time they were using to make variants we could have gotten so many characters that were announced but never released

@neondrago9856 4 жыл бұрын

I agree on what you said. However I assume they made the variants to make more money to provide newer toys. But then again the variants are more slap on, I'd prefer their metallic versions.

I got a 4 pack of modern sonic, modern knuckles, modern tails, and classic sonic with a file with sonic forces pictures. I guess this was probably one of the last things they released because I got it in 2018. I guess they had to just release one more modern and classic thing before handing the toy license to jakks. Don't get me wrong I like jakks sonic figures but tomy was the first sonic toy line I have ever had and I had a jazwares black knight shadow figure but my collection began in 2016 with the sonic and Amy 2 pack for sonic boom. I still love tomy and I wished all of the modern figures where released that they promised. As well as the Amy and eggman 2 packs. I'll miss tomy because there figures I think where higher quality than jakks they feel more solid than jakks figures and overall better. So thanks Tomy for everything. And thank you for making this video

But to me personally jakks is doing an awesome job with the sonic franchise! Tomy was okay but I had a bunch of issues with them they break easy, paint would come off, joints were loose and some were super tight to where you couldn't even move them.. Can't wait for them articulated sonic figures from jakks!

Wait, that Ultimate Classic Sonic figure already released? I read like months ago--up to a year ago that it had not been released. I even searched online for potential stock of the figure, and I found nothing. And I was really looking forward to the Modern Super Sonic figure. His spines looked really awesome. But I don't like the bendable figures from Jakks. The bendable limbs will wear out sooner or later. I rather have joints. And the Super Sonic figure has gross yellow arms.
