This, as Cheaper Options Now Available
In one of the more legitimate Sonic related EBay auctions of note recently, news tipster Edwin Shy sent us a link to a completed sale of the toy you see here–the new 3 inch bendable Silver figure from Jazwares.
It went for $610. Really.
The auction was finished early in December, and you could perhaps blame a Holiday run up for such a high price. Typically, the figures sell in the $10-$20 range, and indeed, if you’re interested, there are several auctions that reflect such a range. It’s also possible to find it at your local toy shop or Toys R Us–something that may not have been the case when the $610 Silver figure went on the block.
This is the newest in the Jazwares Sonic series, and it ends a long Silver drought. The figures have 12 joints on which to bend, twist, and pose.
Do you think $600+ is too much for such a toy, in any circumstance? Tell us in the comments section.

What? That’s crazy. Not just the 610 dollar price mark, but how the hell is Silver that popular?
What an idiot, only fools buy new and upcoming figures for a high price.
Here for $24.00, buy it now price.

Extremely high considering that you can literally go to Toys R Us and get one in the store for $5. Rarity isn’t an issue either; they’re usually pretty well stocked in most TRUs.
I think the buyer probably has too much money and no good taste. Either that or (s)he is planning on reselling the to-be-rare Silver toy for triple that to someone with too much money and no good taste in the future.
Man, SSC stole my comment. ^_^
The figure retails at $5. Whoever bought that is a genius.
I can completely understand wanting a figure, but geez, you could buy a hundred of those and still not have spent $610, judging by the $5 retail.
Wow. I mean, it’s a cool figure and all, but over $600? Geez….
Still waitin’ for the Blaze figure…
A little too bulgy on the joints in my opinion, but other than that, they did really good.
How weird, I saw a giant Silver plushie at an arcade while in Indianapolis…
Silver is often not available for sale in a lot off Toys R Us for some odd reason (I think because series 2 haven’t been distributed to all Toys R Us in the country yet before the holiday season). Either that or someone bought up all the Silvers as soon it hit shelves out of… pure obsession.
$600+ is ridiculous for a Silver figurine however, there are RARER plushies that don’t fetch that high yet.
If you’re a frikkin’ millionaire then sure, go ahead.
Wow, I wonder if he is going to keep it packaged or not
Does Silver have a secret fanbase no one knows about, or that price is totally outragous to pay!
…Yeah, they normally sell for 5 bucks. My TRU didn’t have them yet when I went yesterday, but I was still able to find a lone Werehog plushie.
