Sonic The Hedgehog - Classic Sonic 9'' Plush

I have a funny little story with this plush... An ex boyfriend got me into the Sonic franchise by gifting me a Silver and Blaze plush a few years ago and ever since then, I decided to try getting plushes of all the characters I liked. Sonic was definitely on my list, but he was hard to find. I remember first coming across this exact plush on Amazon but the asking price for him at the time was around $164 US Dollars... Needless to say I passed on him at the time, assuming the price was so high just because he was the last of his kind (like a discontinued plush).Could I have settled for another Sonic plush from another plush maker? I could've. But I wanted a Sonic in the GE style.In the summer of 2019 I decided to randomly look up this plush again and BOOM - not only was he still on Amazon but he was now just $17 US Dollars and change, so I immediately scooped him up finally having a Sonic in my collection. He arrived, but I was disappointed by ONE thing...That one thing is that the picture of the plush on Amazon is slightly misleading. The pictures on Amazon (at the time of this review) show the arms as NOT being attached to the plush when in fact THE PLUSH'S ARMS AND HANDS ARE SEWN ONTO HIM. You can easily snip the stitching on the hands to separate the hands from the rest of his body, you *could*, but most probably don't plan on doing that intentionally especially since there aren't many other poses you can accomplished with a plush who has posed hands. But even with the posed hands and the hands being attached to his body, he's still a very well made plush.The pose he's stuck in is the Classic Sonic pose on the original Japanese box art of Sonic 1 - the classic finger wagging pose with the other hand on his hip. And this plush captures that pose perfectly in soft sculpture form! At first I was a bit turned off by the fact he was posed, but even with this pose in place, I've been able to take a bunch of silly pictures with this plush often with him pointing at humorous things and even in a "Draw me like one of your French girls" pose with the pointing hand supporting his head (the plush was placed on a bed). When it comes to posing this guy in a sitting position, his right hand (sewn to his hip) may look a little awkward, but that's nothing a good camera angle can't compensate for. He will look better when hung up from the gold string on his head (which is there to replicate the look and feel of arcade plushes), but the string may break if the plush is hung up for too long.Besides the pose, he's well stuffed, the arms have some thickness to him (so he won't be a stringy Sonic with spaghetti arms if you cut the stitching), he's a very canon accurate Sonic plush overall - especially for those looking to add a Classic Sonic to their collection. GE's Sonic plushes always aim to be as canon accurate as possible and they're usually aimed toward collectors, but this Classic Sonic is simple enough in his design that he'll survive being played with as a toy (I know he's survived being shoved in a bag and taken on kayaking trips).He makes a great addition to any Sonic plush collection and a perfect gift for Sonic fans and especially fans of Classic Sonic in particular. I also highly recommend him if you want a plush you can take funny photos with, as he's my most photographed plush!

The plush Vane in good condition and no holes or tears

My son loves it , quality is great price is good

Birthday gift for nephew. He loved it.

The only thing I disliked about him was when we cut or snapped his hand off there’s a little hole, but we can easily fix that

Purchased for my 6 year old son as a gift. You cannot tell in the photo that Sonic has a yellow string for hanging that is sewn to the top of his head. We decided to cut it off. Looks much cuter now. Also, Sonic's left hand is sewn to his head. Again this photo does not accurately display that. Plush seems to be pretty durable but would be more snuggly had it been made from a plush material. Material itself feels rather cheap. The material on the feet and hands feel solid though. Arrived in an old-looking, crumbled plastic bag. However I am giving it 4 stars because after cutting off string and tags it looks much cuter and my son is loving it. He wasn't incredibly impressed at first sight, but has come around. The coloring is great! The price was also right and I was able to get free shipping. He loves Sonic and plush toys so I thought this item would be a good gift for him.

Muy buena calidad

This product was purchased as an add-on with the Tails Plush by my 13 year old daughter. She just received her package and was very pleased! Both character plush dolls are brightly colored, and though they are firm they are still soft. Sonic is really cute, he looks exactly as pictured. He isn't a large character, larger than an adult hand, yet easily held by a child. He is about 9 - 9 1/2" tall and about 6" at widest point. His body is thin without being flimsy, he is sewn well with no loose parts. He has a hanger so can be hung from a rearview mirror; his head is about the size of those fuzzy dice you see dangling from rearview mirrors. In the picture his hand is pointing outwards, but ours is attached to his head making him point upward. (Which is fine, it is just something different.) I'd say this little guy would be okay for just about anyone who would enjoy it. It and the Tails Plush purchased with it are both really cute! I think my daughter got a great deal!
