The Big 3, at 2 Inches Each
The veteran and / or more purist Sonic fans may want to pay attention. It appears there will be another round of collectible figurines released quite soon.
The UK website Play.com is offering 3 of them–Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles–in a more classic look for £3.99 each, or a little over $6.50. They are all vinyl, and according to the website, they will be available on October 30th, with an opportunity to pre-order now. They are vinyl.
You have to wonder if the timing of all these retro revivals may be deliberately butting up with the upcoming release of Project Needlemouse, which we still don’t know a whole lot about. That can’t be determined from just these photos below…but they’re still pretty to look at, and perhaps even better to own. Thanks to Fox Gungrave for sending this in earlier in the week via our News Tips system.

Hey those aren’t bad. But what happened to those other small Sonic toys that you guys ran a story on a while back. There was a Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, and Robotnik, about the same size, and possibly squeezey but I forget it that was true or not
This is a very good sign! Hopefully Project Needlemouse will only have Sonic, Tails and Knuckles as playable characters, in their classic form!
How can Sonic run with legs that short?
Yhe these are AWSOME I’ve cried when I saw them
, This may be deliberately butting up with the upcoming release of Project Needlemouse, but I think not in the case of Sonic because that toy figure is the old school Sonic style, and his new style is more like in Unleashed, but if they pute him in Project Needlemouse like he was (old school style) would be awsome! But I don’t care onde style or new style SONIC IS PERFECT, IS GREAT AND WAY PASS COOL 
I like these! They look really good! One of the best Sonic toys I’ve ever seen!
Great fanservice. I like the Knuckles one the best — wish more attention was put into Tails, but not too bad.
i hope its a good game because some games where boring in action noting asome all time but i love unleshed and black knight.i would love like live learn when sonic transeforme and use that song for project neddle mouse.
I almost wanted to cry looking at those. Brings back good memories of playing the old school Genesis games with my family. :’) Wish they had an Amy and Robotnik one along w/ a few badniks.
I can’t wait to hear more about PNM! I hope all of the original 4 make it. YES, including Amy Rose! People seem to mistake her for being one of the new characters for some reason. She may not be playable, but at least let her have a role in the story rather than what the recent Sonic games have done to her. They should make her more like the Amy from SA1:
Less stalkerish; loves Sonic, but not in the obsessive way; and most of all, having a sincere yet strong independent personality. All of that, but with the old school Amy appearance.
Idk. I just hate how SEGA displayed her in the recent games since SA2. Especially with that gawd awful “mistakened ID” gag. It’s not funny and it makes her look dumb. x(
Anyway, I just hope the game turns out well. *prays*
I saw a retro Tails figurine at a GameTraders in my hometown. I think it looks better than the one here, but I digress.
Holy crap…there actully going back to Sonics classic days!!! Im not normally on for hyped but…I CANT WAIT FOR SOME GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE OF PN!!!! And if they make knuckles a playable character I can die happy..
Now hold on Crysore. We have no idea if Needlemouse will be retro or not. These toys are retro though, so that’s a plus.
this must be series 2 of the previous vinyl figures. ive just bought the first series knuckes, and i think i should get this new one too
Man, just what is with all this retro Sonic love lately? I have absolutely no problem with it, because quite frankly I find the old school far more appealing than today’s Sonic.
I really can’t help but wonder if Project Needlemouse has some connection to all of it.
“I really can’t help but wonder if Project Needlemouse has some connection to all of it.”
Doubtful until we find out for sure.
