First4Figures' new toys feature pre-attitude Sonic


First4Figures, the company responsible for all of those extravagant Nintendo figurines, has turned their attention to classic Sega for their next release: a line based on Genesis-era Sonic the Hedgehog. The collection is designed to represent Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles as they appeared back in the mid-'90s, before their extreme redesign -- before Knuckles started rapping.

For now, the set includes Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. The best part about this period in Sonic's life is that there aren't really any more ridiculous characters to base toys on. No Big the Cat, no Cream and Cheese, and certainly no Shadow. Maybe Robotnik and a couple of mechanical Sonics later, but this collection is safe from the sidekick parade that has ruined the series.

The approximately 5-inch-tall toys will be released around the summer, for a currently unspecified price. Don't be surprised if they're expensive -- this is First4Figures, after all!

New from First 4 Figures: Sheik!

First 4 Figures have released another well-sculpted, detailed figurine of a Nintendo character. The new figure is the fourth entry in their series of N64-era Zelda characters, focusing on the mysterious, much-cooler-than-Link Sheik.

Sheik stands about 9" tall and is in scale with the other figurines in the series. It will cost $109.99 and can be reserved now for shipping in the fall.

is great, but we really want to get these figures to set up our own trophy table like the one in Super Smash Brothers Melee. But for $100+ each, we aren't sure if we could bring ourselves to make them fight.

Zero Suit Samus: the figurine

The latest in the long line of figurines from First 4 Figures has hit the internet and it's a real beauty. Featuring Samus in her Zero Suit (which you may have seen on our site during coverage for another game), this statue is guaranteed to make many a fanboy hot under the collar come its release during Q3 of this year.

Of course, that isn't going to be a fanboy rolling in the dough post-purchase necessarily, as the suggested retail price of this statue is $109.99 US. Ouch! As if the games we purchased weren't expensive enough ...

Anyone out there looking to get their hands on this statue?
