New Sonic Figures!

[BleachXVizard]

Well so far I haven't been to the TRU here at all. I am promised that I will go tomorrow so let's hope I find the 3 inchers there.

[LaLaM]

Going off to the TRU that said they were getting in a truck today. Hopefully they have some #$@#.

 

Also, what is with the bloody curse filter? It's really starting to piss me off.

[Roseweave]

It really looks unreal. It's got potential to be the greatest figure ever made.

 

You haven't seen many figures huh.

That title would probably go to something Japanese made and expensive(or something like an SiC).

 

Also where can I order the 3" figs :Z

[Alexx]

I think what Rocksteady was talking about was that the figure looked to be the best figure ever made for him. Since he didn't actually say that, though, I'm sure you can just assume rather than poke him about it. Besides, expensive and full of articulation doesn't equal "greatest figure ever." It's in the eye of the beholder.

[LaLaM]

God damn it, my TRU got in trucks, but they'll take days to unload all of the #$@#. The guy said call back tomorrow. I'll probably just call back on saturday.

[Flying_Infant]

Wow. Take days to unload?? Did they get in more than one truck? At ours we get in 1 truck, and we have 6 hours to do it. And we do.

[RockSteady]

Than you Alexx. In my mind Metal looks amazing. And he's gonna be a gem in my collection. That's all that matters to me.

[SuperChaos2585]

He's gonna be the best Sonic figure so far... I can't wait....

Also, I'm getting a Dreamcast! YAY!...

Today my brother got a bunch of Sonic plushies in the mail, so I may take pictures of those...

[BleachXVizard]

I've been through 3 dreamcast throughout my childhood, 2 of them broke but the third's a charm and hasn't broken for 5 years. Get Rayman 2 for the dreamcast. It's epic.

Actually no it wouldn't go to something "Japanese made". Japan gets their toys made in China too.

[BleachXVizard]

I'm going to TRU in a few hours and they said they got their knuckles in yesterday so I hope to find atleast sonic, tails, and knuckles. Let's just hope the tails on this shipment I'm going to get doesn't have upside down tails.

[JShedgehog]

I don't think they were supposed to have upside-down tails. I called TRU and they said they got Sonic and Tails yesterday. It seems those and the Black Knight Sonic are the only 3 inch ones out.

[BleachXVizard]

Oh well the guy I called last week said he was going to get knuckles in on wednesday(yesterday) So I'll post some pics up If I get him.

Technicalities.

That's still relatively unlikely, though, there are just so many other well crafted robot figures that, looking at what his personal tastes are likely to be, are much better. Of course they might not mean as much to him since they don't represent a character he knows, and that's fair enough, but that's not a permanent fixture, people get into new stuff all the time. There are also often going to be some more objective qualities in a figure, for example there aren't many people who appreciate genuinely sloppy paint apps, or cheap looking plastic(aside from David Wilis). It seems a bit much in general unless it's an astounding detailed and articulated work of art to call it your favouritest figure of all time, especially when you're saying POTENTIALLY THE BEST EVER regardless of how you intended it to mean. I mean, knowing Jazwares there's very likely to be draw backs, so there's likely negative "Potential" in there too.

 

I just get tired of fanboys getting overexcited about things. I was pretty pimped for the 3" figures but I'm under no illusions that they're great figures. Just don't get your hopes up, or like a lot of Transformers fans you'll find yourself forcing yourself to like something a little more than you actually do to avoid the let down.

Oh boy were the guys let down with BAYformers. Yeah Michael Bay pretty much made the movie revolve around sam rather than the autobot and decepticon civil war. Thats's why on certain forums fanboys will die defending bayformers.

[Roseweave]

Erm, most of them. You can also be banned for being for being even vaguely aggressively anti-movie on TFW2005, but not aggresively pro movie.

[BleachXVizard]

And I thought everybody was entitled to their own opinion. Looks like that's been taken away too on some forums.

That's weird. But anyway, back on topic. I think TRU is getting the figures in shipments of two or three at a time. (ex. Sonic and Tails, week 1. Knuckles and Shadow, week 2...)

[LaLaM]

Jazwares updated their website with the 3 Inchers:

After seeing this photo of tails, I don't care how small he is compared to sonic, I'm buying him.

 

Do note: this is ALL of the pictures they had for the 3 inchers. So, obviously, this is the first wave.

[BleachXVizard]

I went to the TRU here and no 3 inchers at all. Maybe I'll find some when I go back home to virginia this saturday at my local TRU.

[Roseweave]

Oh poo. I had a big long reply typed out.

 

But yeah, I think articulation is harming these figures. With Tails it's fine. Sonic not so much.

 

http://www.sonicgear.org/USAPages/ReSaurusFigures.html

 

I think Resaurus got it dead on with how to articulate a Sonic figure. Their sculpts are just poo. If we could get more limited pose Sonic figs maybe packed with accessories that'd be great. No joints that cut into the sculpt of the figure, if you get what I mean. You don't "need" superposing with Sonic anyway, it's great to have but it'd be nice to have accurate bodies too.

 

Also, it'd be nice to have Sonic figs the same size as the fixed pose Popco Marios. Those are really nice little figures. Maybe a little taller since the Mario figs ARE very small. Again, limited articulation etc. since you couldn't have much at that height anyway. Then they'd be in scale with Gi Joes and #$@# and it'd be great. Plus they'd be teeny so you could make big 5 packs of a bunch of obscure characters and they'd be cheap to make so people would buy them anyway.

[Flying_Infant]

Farkin warehouse. Only Sonic stuff we got in on the truck today at work was Superposers and Black Knight.

 

Bah. Guess I'll be spending my money on the new ML 2 Packs.

What happened?

If you're implying that this looks better than the actual release, then you're a little out there.

[spunk]

I like the 3 inch line the way it is in my opinion. We just need more characters and accessories for future waves.
