New Figurines Out Next Month, Find out How to Pre-Order
Perhaps as penance for the SBK figurines being in such short supply, global toy behemoth Toys ‘R’ Us is now taking pre-orders for two new Sonic toys that will go on sale May 10th.
They are part of the Sonic Super Posers series from Jazwares, and they include Super Sonic and Super Shadow. Both will be on sale for $10.99, and both stand six inches tall.
We have photos of both below, and if you’re concerned you won’t be able to find the figurines in stores upon release, no worries–you can place your orders now for both Super Sonic and Super Shadow. Get them while you can–it appears the previous five inch Jazwares series went out of stock fast.
Thanks go out to Fox Gungrave of French site Eversonic for sending in the information via our News Tips system. You can tell us what you know by clicking “News Tips” at the top of every page.

Sonic looks just awful,he’s just a repaint.Hell,they didn’t even bother to change the color of his eyes.But Shadow on the other hand looks great,he even has the right hue of yellow.I think I’ll skip Super Sonic and get Shadow instead.
Pathetic. They can’t even go to the trouble of making an ACTUAL SUPER Sonic model.
Cheapskates.
Shadow? All his super form is is a glowing golden form of himself, nothing else…
Cmon guys it isnt that bad
@Crysore:
When Super Sonic is an exact clone of Sonic, yeah, it’s that bad.
Ugh. Horrible figure on Super Sonic. Yes, it is that bad. They didn’t turn his quills up. That’s his trademark. Like having a Wing Cap Mario figure with no wings.
Fail.
(Shadow looks decent, but it’s by default because he’s just another repaint.)
Shadow is sooooo CUTE!!!
well guys, of course shadow is a repaint, super shadow is yellow, therefore they made him yellow would you perfer they made him purple or something, and at least they took the the time to make him a shade.
All your complaints on shadow are hollow
Doesn’t look too bad, but I think I’ll stick with tracking down and buying the normal sonic and shadow.
Cute.
sonic is just awful
Both are just plain repaints. Although, due to Shadow’s design, his super form mirrors his regular form, just with a golden glow to his body. Not even his eyes change, which made it easier. Sonic on the other hand should have shadow’s mold without any of the red markings or the eyes. They did a louzy job at both.
I have notice something over the years. Why do the toys look so ugly?
Remember guys, these could be prototypes (especially in Sonic’s case). Hopefully, Sonic will be different in the final release. If not, I might still get him (and Shadow) for collector’s sake.
