why the heck are sonic and co in armour? this happen in the anime, or just one of those wierd toy add-ons?

they've been selling the large-sized sonic figures in the comic shop over here. they're not very accurate.

i mean.. what've they done to tail's face? his body-shape is wrong too!

i prefer my official japanise miniture sonic X figures. they come in little tranparent plastic cubes.

Oh. Dear. Lord. This reminds me of those Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle actions figures which had them all in armour.

I never liked this series of action figures anyway. They're poorly painted, and for some reason Sonic is the worst looking one there is.

The Amy one looks nice though. It says Megabot series 1, so I suppose there's more to come.

I definitely prefer the japanese minifigures too, ChibiBecca. Very accurate.

That's my main qualm with many action figures (not just Sonic ones), the moulding and paintjobs aren't fiercely loyal to the character models - whereas I myself am, and every misshapen eyeball and limb completely rubs me the wrong way. Nice pink arms there, Amy. And we're never, ever getting more than three Chaos Emerald colors, are we?

If you only use Tails' chest armour... he sort of looks like the saviour of The Nameless Zone from Fleetway o.o

GO GO SONIC RANGEEERS

Wow, wierd conincidence but I've just bought all the Bendy models from tesco (Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy with 3 whole chaos emeralds in a four pack Plus Eggman and Big separately). Quite badly painted and Eggman's head is pushed into his body but...hey! They are the small ones.
RARGH!
These ones. under 13.

If you ask me, the armour add-ons are kinda kinky. =3

Except Knux's. =(

Hmm. *Takes a look at the Sonic X title.*

SONIC X

*Fixes*

SONICMAN X

Much better. Now we can have the spin-off series: Sonicman X: Shadow. X3

The first time I saw these toys, I swear I thought they were bootleg figures...

...I think they still are.

Yeah, I smell bootleg too. (Though I kinda like Knux's armor. GLASSES BAHAHAHA.)

tails looks good, just his weapon is wrong.
knuckles looks like predator.

I can pull out a better figure out of my a.... Hey hey hey kids! (a quote by Krusty the Clown, only instead of a cartoon out of his @@@ it is an action figure.) ">

No good rotten dinosaurs, wouldn't recognise talent if it bit them in the... HEY HEY!!!

Krusty Komeback Special! Great ep

Oh, Dear God, this rounds up every pet peeve I have with action figures; creating random new armors or whatever attachables that the characters of which the action figure is based on never had in any of their TV Show/Video Game/Manga/Cartoons/Movie/An Elephant's butt incarnation.

I thought the exact same thing. If I didn't get them at a trusted department store, I would've had no doubt at all that they were bootlegs.

If I was good at painting toys/models, I'd probably fix them up. But alas, I have not been gifted in that area of expertise.

What episode is that robot from anyway? I thought it might be the one from episode 3, but it's different.

I could be wrong, but I don't think that robot is from Sonic X. As for the Armor: Except for Tails(Who I could actually picture using high-tech armor) they all look like their from the distant future. Knuckles Definately is the Knuckles Tribesman of 3000 years in the future.

Hey, wait a minute! I know that Eggman. That's the same bendy doll that was released with Sonic Adventure....on the Dreamcast. So that's pretty old. I'm kinda weirded out that they just reused the same figure.

Wow, these are absolutely appalling.

Any word on the company that made these? The SA2 Joyride figures were magnificent, but these are cheesy little cash-ins.

I might pick up one or two (Cream ^^) were they not so shoddily painted... and molded... and everything else.
They also missed a whole lot of added value by not simply making the big ugly robot into a mech that the characters could sit in instead.

These toys are made by Toy Island, Wonder. I saw an ad for these toys on the back of Tips and Tricks mag, and though I think theiy're better the the SA figures Toy Island released, they still could be better such as them giving Amy pink arms.(I hope they fix that) I wish Sega would give the license to ReSaurus or Joyride like Wonder said.

Then we could've had something else that connects up instead, like pieces that join to form a Blue Typhoon, Tornado-2 or... anything that was acutally in the show!! But to piss us off they'd probably give us the X-Tornado instead.

Read the packaging on that one.

"Collect all 5 figurines to build giant R9(?)X-DOS Robot"

Basically... Dub-Tee-Eff?? O_o

Rayzor, the Toy Island Sonic X figures ARE the Toy Island Sonic Adventure figures, simply repackaged: no better, no worse. I can't say the same for those shoddy-looking armoured chaps, though.

Also to note, ReSaurus won't be making any more Sonic figures, or indeed figures of any kind, as they've been bankrupt for a good few years now.

I know Toy Isle repackaged their SA toys for Sonic X toys, Jman, but these new Sonic X toys(the armored ones, Amy, Cream, Chris, etc.) are also made by Toy Isle and look like they're better quality then the original ones. As far as ReSaurus goes, I did not know they went under, too bad; maybe that's why I could find their website.

I just absolutely looove what it says on that packaging,

"All new 5" Action Figures are fully Articulated."
"Highly Detailed and Collectible."

Where the heck do you find the Sonic Megabotfigures?! I've called every toystore in my areas and NOBODY has Them, exept 1 Toys R US which had one left.

o.0 ...I'll give them the complement that they look better than Joyride's SA2:B figures...but that's not saying much...I spent 15+ dollars buying it off of eBay...total rip off...I also bought a MasterChief figure...He looks awesome, and his limbs can bend...Sonic reminds me of a Gumby action figure...with a big huge removable head...

You have no idea what you are talking about Hero.
The SA2 Joyride figures were absolutely perfect as far as Sonic figures go.
As for the "gumby" part, I'm assuming you're referring to his bendy limbs. There's really no other way to make a Sonic figure that looks half-decent; Putting any sort of jointed articulation on the arms would look HORRIBLE and make his arms prone to falling apart a lot.
And Sonic's ALWAYS had a big head. Besides, the "removable" part is so that if Sonic falls off your shelf, there's no risk of anything breaking off (except for his nose, which broke off my Shadow and I had to superglue it back on ), and if his head pops off you just put it back on again.

Now compare it to THESE beasts, which bear little to no resemblance to their counterparts and I guarantee that they'll never stand up against your average 4-to-6-year0old who are the target audience for them. I can see it now:
"SONIC HAS A SPACE SUIT HE IS AN ASTRONAUT WHEEEEE"*Smash*

Besides, Armor on Sonic figures is just stupid.

Well, according to the back of the Tips & Tricks mag I saw, UDC, the new line of Sonic X toys don't come out until Spring.
