  1. Ive thought of that actually, itd kill two birds with one stone too. Oh and, wow, tails plush, ASR tails, Big plush, Eggman plush....uh...UGH. That looks...bad. Very bad. Terrruble just terrruble. But anywho, how random. Cant wait to see more.
  2. EPIC news! Rouge eh? Sweet, i hope for blaze to be soon too. I believe shes been confirmed for a while.
  3. Maybe even faster, I imagine it'll be easier to produce the riders figures than making the vehicles for ASR. And sonic colors seems to have turned out beautifully. Both versions. Their pretty much different games, but this may be the first time ive ever technically bought two versions of a game.
  4. Those are simply amazing. I cannot wait to get mine!
  5. I listened to vector more. Hes not too bad. Dan green was better. I still love everyone else. Kirk Thornton is shadow, I had a feeling! Hes been damn near everywhere. Over all. Yes, best move theyve made in a while. Reviews arent spectacular so far for this. A disappointment. Perhaps controller support would have helped.
  6. My god Im so relieved. Shadow sounds way different but good. But rouge.....SO much better. Unsure about vector. He sounds....alot like his old voice. Bad. So definitley want to hear more. And...wheres omega? Kinda disappointing, as I like the character. But, ah well. Amy's fantastic. Im very happy with everyone myself.
  7. Ahh, 12 dollars. Which isnt too bad considering his size, even if froggy is pretty small.
  8. Its a fake counterfeit big. Their all over ebay dude
  9. It's all relative. Like I said, I don't feel it's the worst Sonic VA start, but Smith certainly has alot of room for improvement. Sonic is cocky, but his arrogance is more implicite and external than egotistically self-centered. Like I said, we all know Sonic is a confident, cocky character, but he was so in a manner that was almost like a more subtle version of, say, Spider-Man. Both characters actively mock their opponents during battle (Sonic, actually, to a significantly less degree), but neither character was actually internally arrogant in the sense that they never actually BRAGGED about their own ability so much as make fun of their OPPONENT'S lack-thereof. A character can come off as cocky and cool in that manner (external. i.e. being witty during the fight, a smirk here and grin there) without offputting the audience because the actually arrogance is directed entirely toward the enemy (i.e. the character WE, as the audience, want to see fail). But when a character actual starts implicating pride himself, whether through dialogue or simply through tonage, it can immediately throw-up a barrier between him and the audience, because his arrogance is now self-sustained. It's the exact same mentality, and the exact same reason why all the arrogant surfer dudes get killed in horror movies within the first fifteen minutes of the movie(Happy Halloween BTW), they've been isolated from the audience because their arrogance is like a giant off-putting barrier around them. It really isn't the dialogue, nor the pitch so much as the tonage Smith choose to read with, it makes him sound incredibly arrogant to a point of which he is offputting. You called it spot-on in that he sounds like the Total Drama Island host, who is SUPPOSED to be arrogant/overconfident/offputting/a doosche. That guy (dunno his name) and Smith's Sonic have almost the exact same tonage, and that's a problem. =\ As for translation, I think Griffith (despite having the WORST start), did a great job of improving as Sonic because he, and here's the key, started mirroring Sonic's Japanese Voice-Actor. Junichi Kanemaru really has nailed Sonic's character, and towards the end of his career you could start to notice Griffith trying more and more to sound like Kanemaru. Makes sense, after all Sonic is a Japanese character, and when you think about characters he would probably fall in line with in terms of voice the easiest examples are those of anime characters. Like I said before, Sonic has that adventurous innocence found in characters like Son Goku and Luffy, albeit with a more cocky attitude then those previous examples. Still, like I said, I felt Smith simply hasn't captured that aspect of Sonic. I'm not about to burn down the USA Sonic VA Studio, I'm just saying I feel Smith could use improvement in certain areas. That's all. As for Mario, this voice will always be his best DO THE MARIO! You speak the truth, though i was happy with what I heard, and even though all weve watched is one scene, it could actually be different in other scenes. And what I mean here is different by being MORE cocky and arrogant. Which isnt sonic, he IS cocky and arrogant. But not ALL the damn time. One reasone why Ive always loved sonic is because Im also a pretty big fan of spiderman. Which I feel in some ways their personalities are similar. Like, I HATED the movie spiderman (toby maguire, ugh.) not just the actor chosen, but the way they represented the character. Sure they did some lame little sight jokes (if youve seen them, I can refer to the elevator scene from the...second I think as an example.) but thats not spidey. Hes constantly making quips and being generally funny. Sonic was never quite as clever with his writing. But hed say stuff like, ROBUTTNIK in the satam cartoon. The comics, more recently really, capture his personality reall well I feel. So, while there was some parts where Smith sounded too exagerrated, I'll be happy if theres more "clever" writing in the game. Writing thats fun and silly by kids standards. THATS what matters I believe. Yes, one part of sonic is his light hearted big brother esque personality. Hes a jerk to the villians, a joker to his friends, but hes still the hero. Well, goku and luffy are naive and clueless remember. Sonic is always cool and quippy, though not a genius like tails, if hes "stumped" he'll acknowledge it and maybe even make a joke about it. But luffy and goku are happy go lucky friendly "idiots" goku being naive and the same with luffy. Heck I suppose the character of naruto is rather similar too. Pretty common in japanese culture I think. Well it may become clear that he sounds that way during the WHOLE game. Who knows. Still, though they may end up over doing it. Im happy with what I heard. Though his talent will shine through with time regardless Ima thinkin. Oh god, hahaha. Cant say no to mr albano. Not the mario I know and love (huge mario fan, bigger fan of mario than sonic actually. But not by much Id say.) but yet still awesome. Kinda like Pingas eggman. HAHAH. oh and I agree with that Aquaslash, rouge was horrrid. Terrible. She sounded like a 40 year old tranny whore. More or less. I hated it. Charmy wasnt too bad. Vector was unspeakable. BUT dan green who WAS knuckles was also vector starting with the Mario and sonic at the winter olympic games. I never found shadow to be bad, but smith could SO do a killer shadow. And yes So far Pollock who voices eggman is the only 4kids dub voice actor to return.
  10. Why the heck does Sonic have arms that are designed like his legs? Now that we're at it, why are newer Sonic figures' legs designed that way? Granted, it is BY FAR the best way to make a character like Sonic's legs but it still limits articulation. I think the best thing to do would be to add a thigh twist. Uh...whoa. He...looks good!. And....shiny. Why? Different plastic me thinks. The plastic on the 3 inchers is one whole color and unpainted. And what about the other Image? I wonder what the heck THAT means. Even the wisps look different.
  11. Its a kind of time will tell type of situation. He did come off as arrogant and cocky. YEEEEESSSSS. THATS SONIC. Ahem, well kinda. Its a big part of his personality. So as a fan I was happy to see that. Yet to me his voice sounded so cool too, my favorite voice match yet personally. Yeah heh but dood, it was but one scene after all. It may be one of "5 times" he acts a cocky. Or hell, one of two times he makes a fourth wall reference. We simply dont know. Yeah, I dont particularily see what you mean, but I despise Total drama island myself heh. I suppose he kinda sounds like the announcer host guy on the show actually. But mr smith sounds too unique to me. Ah, but voicing video games can be difficult what with all the translation stuff. But I guess, the SOUND is what matters the most. Jason griffith sounded very different at the beginning of Sonic x as compared to later (I liked it better myself). So the same may be true here. Ive actually liked each and every one of sonic's voice actors. Its never been like, say, MARIO. While the old TV show mario's voice had a bit of delightful cheese too it (corny and stupid. I like it heh.) was that MARIO? Oh god no. Mario to me has been, and always WILL be Mr charles martinet. But sonic? Hes had too many different voices that all had a similar voice (oh god would that piss some people off heh.) But I can explain: Young, youthful sounding voices usually with energy. The difference between MARIO sounding like a fat 40 yearold plumber (Contrary to popular belief, thats NOT mario, mario is a happy go lucky character with a high pitched voice, kinda like...well mickey mouse.) and having a high pitched voice. Yet sonic has always offically sounded a certain way, even in japan! So Ive liked them all, but I think Roger is my favorite so far personally. And Kate higgins is SOO much better as tails. OH god yes. True, she also did the voice of one of the kids in the naruto show that followed naruto around for a few episodes. So I knew she could pull it off. No doubt its some silly writing. But...thats the way it SHOULD be, for the kids. Oh and as for the sonic figure, I was able to sort of enhance the tightness of some of my figures joints, by running it under hot water, and pushing the peg where it should be. Like, if your figure has this problem, some of them the joints are not fully put into place, and you have one end that the peg isnt going through. OR at times they WILL be together but the peg will not be ALL thw way through both ends. You might want to see if THAT is the case and see if you can get the ends of the pegs to come out on both ends of the joint. Do it with hot water, then when you have it the way you want, run it under cold water, then maybe freeze it. Ive found, that to push the peg in the way I want, I just grab maybe like, something probably plastic, thats small enough to let you use it to push it the way you want.
  12. Heh I watched the Image sonic crossover thing. I remember seeing that comic in an ad and never really understanding it. I had no idea who savage dragon was and all that until much later. So i found it interesting heh.Haha yeah! I still have that book. It was worth it just for the centerfold poster of the cast. If you have the Gems Collection, which has an Archie comic cover gallery, the cover of the Image Crossover has the faces of the Image characters grayed out. Oh wow..I do actually, and I had actually noticed that but never thought about it. Wow heh, copyright stuff im sure, but I freakin remember wondering about that. And I think its sonic mega collection, gems was the one with Sonic CD and the fighters, the mega collection was the regular one with 1-3 and stuff. Oh hey, fellow sonic fans, If your interested, Click here to listen to Sonic and tails's new voice's! Im SO very pleased. Tails is perfect as I had thought he would be. WARNING: Corny silly saturday morning cartoon. Which is beeeautiful in my opinion. They have FREAKIN nailed it with the voices and etc. The sonic I grew up with right there. In JAZWARES news, Super poser tails is up on Toys R us.com!

  14. Oh god. Bigs out, FINALLY. Chalk another one up for my to do list. And FYI 20 games a year was an exaggeration (Maybe, heh.) But, aquaslash is right, to the point he makes about "official characters". Sega has all the rights they need to give us 30 (give or take..) new figures of DIFFERENT characters. But, again, its us to them. The entire ungodly large archie line up. The classic and forgotten game characters. (Mighty, Ray, sonic's animal friends, Nack/fang, bark, bean, mecha sonic. etc.) Then recent obscure characters (chaos, gamma, chip, eggman nega, metal sonic 3.0 etc) Then we have what sega considers the "official line up" of characters. Which, yes, seems to be the sonic channel line up. They are trying to listen to the fans and not make a new character with every game, or a character that always returns in some way. Hey, I mean. I love characters like MIGHTY and FANG. But its up to sega of course. A toy line however shouldnt exactly have to mess that goal to keep a strict "line up" with in the sonic universe. But again, it depends. theyve already turned down a simple repaint of metal sonic. Which IMO was dumb as hell. Repaints arent very hard to do. And even fans who havent the slightest inkling where hes from or what his story is, or who arent even actual fans of the sonic franchise, might take interest. Now, Honestly, I couldnt actually care less. I almost have all my favorite characters in figure form actually, but like i said. Its a simple smart way for toy companies to make a easy buck or two. Not that its a bad thing, he who buys it, has no right to "complain" right? Im just saying, IF they want to extend this line and even maybe keep it going for years to come, their going to have to branch out. New games will only do so much I think. Or it'll just be slow. And a new game with new gimmicks and ideas doesnt mean they'll actually make a interesting or desirable promotion. Look at sonic colors, sure, the wisps are AWESOME. I would love to have a mini figure of all of them. But...thats it. And their not the kind of characters that would appeal to the age group and range. They need "edgy" or "cool" figures. SONIC WITH A SWORD. WERE HOG SONIC, good examples. It reminds me of those batman toy lines, where they make just about 50 different freaking "batmans". Its literally the same damn character sold 50 (yet another exaggeration...) different ways. Its not BAD, but its...well it works! Right? Wouldnt a CLASSIC sonic be pretty cool? Or a DARK SPINE sonic? Or a SCOURGE "sonic"? Or a GOLDEN KNIGHT sonic? JUUUST saying really, I ASSUME they need to branch out. Yeah..yeah thats enough. Heh. oh, and whats wrong with assuming? The chance im wrong? So? Weve awwwlllll done that before, and unlike about 80 percent of the internets (...welll this isnt actually an exaggeration /joke) I dont mind being wrong, hell, call me out on it if you wants tah heh
  15. .....good god. Well I got one for 24 bucks last year. I mean, good god man. And about the figures, well I mean sheesh, its true that they havent ruled out comic characters yet. But you know, aside from making every current canon sonic character into a figure in every scale (3 inch 5inch 10 inch) what else can they do? Also aside from doing promotions for games. Oh wait, sonic has about 20 games out every year (ok not really, BUT CLOSE AMIRITE?....no. not really.) so they'll be kept busy.. Id really like to see them branch out though. Even if it just meant doing figures of only the more popular comic characters. Sally, Bunnie, antoine, etc etc. And heck, it may only be certain characters. I assume sega owns all of the characters in the comic right? (Im always look out for sonic articles, and im aware of the whole ken penders stupidity.) So it could happen. Not that I actually personally want figures of anyone in the comic series (anyone that originates from the comics that is.) but again, I dont see why not, and they'll run out of characters to make eventually. I mean, I assume.
  16. Man, I've said it before and I'll say it again, I want Ray! I do like ray, digging into the archives a bit and making old forgotten characters wouldnt be a bad idea. i say a mighty, ray combo pack.
  17. Oh dood. I know, what an amazing surprise there. Damn i cant wait, it really is about time the blue bomber got a comic book. I randomly saw Yardleys Deviant art one time and saw this I mean, im not saying they actually even were planning it when he drew this, which was at his own leisure Im guessing. But kind of ironic, I wonder if this will be what he looks like? And I also got the Chaotix pack, they are GREAT. Looking back, I never really thought anyone would make an espio or a vector. Its surreal in a way, but yes, I was very pleased. A little loose in some of the joints, and vectors feet were switched, but a quick fix and hes perfect. I do hope for charmy, but man am I pleased with these guys!!!
  18. Im actually quite relieved to see it ISNT that prototype picture. Or at least, this probably confirms that theyll change it before release.
  19. And let us not forget that in STF the eigth emerald was orange! ;oP yeah as far as im concerned they don seem to have an official set color for "number 7" yet theres always a green, an red, and etc. so the figures miscolor is aite to me.
  20. Yeah, I mean itd be cool if there was an official color set (which I think there is) but, they serve the same purpous regardless, the miscoloring doesnt bother me either. Heck, there was 6 originally, and there were 8 in sonic the fighters.
  21. That does look better, I gotta say, ive been a sonic fan since forever and I never really kept track of the EXACT colors of all 7 emeralds.
  22. I do want the crucial accessories, like what pretty much everyone has said is like, the piko piko hammer. Id like to see bigger scale stuff like the master emerald and eggys eggpod. All stuff we've mentioned. But for now I look forward to seeing whats next, if the super pack and the chaotix is all we get this year, then hey, its been a hell of a year for sonic fans heh.
  23. Heh thats 7 inch tails, its a super poser. Same with mine the waist was a little loose, but I DEFINITEly picked the best one. All the others had missing paint on sonics snout. Mine does have a spin thats bent pretty low. Being vinyl theres not much to fixin it. But its not a big deal. Over all im very surprised how awesome 10 inch sonic is. Its just about everything I had hoped!
  24. Holy wow. That. Is awesome. And I also got ten inch sonic. Not saying they listened to me or anything heh, but just as I REALLY really hoped, his leg joints are not like metal sonic's were they "click" into place (what ever the term is for that type of joint i dunno.) which was...idiotic, putting that much stress on so little plastic. Durability wise he beats metal sonic, well when they come in the box in one piece that is... @larrykoopa, yep guys be sure to always check the bottom shelf, sadly my toys r us just has the RC sonic's Did anyone see the walkie talkies? Their really great looking actually.
  25. Tails, looks really awesome. Perfect really, he'll look amazing next to a super poser knuckles! And my super....poser...soni....nah. I got the toy island "edition" so ive had it for a while, its cool and all, joints piss me off, but yeah really, jazwares, make a new one. It makes perfect sense, you'll be able to sell more figures with a new mold. hell just giving sonic a new HEAD mold would work (no please actually redo the whole figure heh) Yeah I got eggy a few days ago and werehog...but that was the first time mine has ever had the werehog, seeing as how there is literally 5 new items out i FIGURED id get "lucky" and find something, and as I coulda bet money on, I found the eggy pack. Still, Im happy, I just wish theyd get out there sooner, yet, we dont want a rushed product of course.
