Funko have announced a new range of Funko Pop products for the Sonic franchise. This will be the first addition to the line since the original set way back in 2013.
First up, there will be a Funko Pop keychain for Sonic with his gold ring, so if you want Sonic on the go there’s another option right here.
For the regular Funko Pop Vinyl line, there’s a much larger range of figures to get, although the amount of characters covered is the same as last time. Aside from the same Sonic with gold ring, the standard line also includes Sonic with a Chaos Emerald, Shadow the Hedgehog and Dr Eggman.
There will also be three figures that are exclusive to certain retailers. A glow-in-the-dark version of Sonic and ring will be exclusive to Toys R’ Us, Super Sonic will be exclusive to Gamestop and Shadow with a Dark Chao will be exclusive to Hot Topic.
No price point has been given for the figures or keychain, but it’s likely to be comparable to their other products. The slated release date for all of these is in December. If it comes out fast enough in the month, you might have another potential stocking filler in time for Christmas!

Wow, those look bad. Funko Pop’s button eyes don’t work with Sonic’s mono-eye at all. The ones released a few years back (Which now go for hundreds of dollars) look far better. Sure the angry white dot eyes were a bit odd, but it was a good compromise between the art styles.
Eggman looks neat, though. Only because his round glasses actually work with Funko Pop’s button eyes.
Dangit Funko, you might finally get me to buy one of your Pops now with Eggman! Though he’d look better with his signature smile. (I know they break the “no mouth” rule sometimes with The Joker and such)
I would love to see them re-make Tails and Knuckles the way they did Sonic. Maybe even add Amy Rose to the collection. 🙂
The eyes are okay. It’s the neck that irks me. And it really shows on Super Sonic.
I think they should’ve taken notes from Sonic Boom’s Emoji Plushies: https://www.sonicstadium.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/TOMY05.jpg
