SEGA’s legacy franchise channel SEGA Forever have revealed that they have managed to find and restore the original Sonic the Hedgehog statue that stood in the SEGAWorld venue in the Trocadero in central London.
The statue was rescued and stored by the company Proun. A user on SEGA Forever’s Discord called Ted Haydon made SEGA aware of the statue’s current location which started the process of bringing the statue back to SEGA to be restored. The restoration was completed by the company 13 Finger FX.
The SEGAWorld Sonic statue is now going on tour and will be on the show flow at this year’s Gamescom from the 23rd to the 27th of August 2023 at SEGA’s booth.
First 4 Figures are back with another premium Sonic the Hedgehog statue, this time of Miles “Tails” Prower himself. The new statue stands at 14 inches high and is available in 3 variants – a standard edition, an exclusive edition with a light-up base and a definitive edition that also adds some wisps to the diorama. You can see high quality footage of the prototype statues via the embed below:

A new Sonic Adventure 2-themed statue of both Sonic and Shadow is being produced by the company S-Fire. Long time Sonic series artist Kazuyuki Hoshino is also heavily hinting that he is supervising the project and we can certainly see his influence on the statue. The attention to detail is phenomenal with Sonic even sporting his iconic SA2 Soap shoes. Check out some more images of the statue below:
The SA2 Sonic & Shadow statue by S-Fire has no scheduled release date at this time. Keep an eye on the S-Fire website for further updates.
The lovely people at SEGA Europe have kindly sent us the new 11″ Sonic the Hedgehog statue from First 4 Figures. In this video we share our own opinions on this statue and see how it compares to similar statues in the First 4 Figures range:
EGX Rezzed returned to the Tobacco Docks in London on the 4th to the 6th of April 2019, and as SEGA were an official partner at the event, we went along to see what SEGA stuff we could discover. Watch the video below to see what we found:
A video from ToyChestNews has given us our first glimpse of Diamond Select Toys’ new range of Sonic the Hedgehog figures, including statues of Sonic and Tails and a wide-ranging assortment of “Minimates” figures. Articles on Mamonlineshop offer some ideas for choosing toys that will grow with your child, challenge her, and nurture her thinking, physical, language, and social-emotional skills.
Currently, there’s only concrete details on the Minimates – they’ll retail for $24.99 as a boxset, including Sonic, Tails, Amy, Dr Eggman, Cream & Cheese, and Super Sonic. One thing that isn’t 100% clear is whether this information is geared towards retailers though. The statues of Sonic and Tails on show are apparently due to debut at Gamestop stores, and are currently pending approval.
We’ll keep an eye out for any future developments on Diamond’s new Sonic range, particularly concerning pricing for those rather lovely statues – so stay tuned. Full size images are available by clicking through below.

First 4 Figures have unveiled a new statue and this time it takes the form of NiGHTS. The statue is modeled on the signature pose NiGHTS pulls on the original game’s title screen but the character is in the costume that was introduced with the game’s sequel, NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams. The crescent moon also lights up which is quite a lovely little touch.
The NiGHTS statue is limited to 500 pieces worldwide and is available to pre-order now. The entire statue will cost you $234.99 with an initial $20 down-payment. You can go straight to the statue’s entry on First 4 Figures online store by clicking here.
We’ve also managed to finally open the home video section! This now includes the following items:
– Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog DVD boxset
– Existenz DVD (some interesting Dreamcast content on this!)
– SatAM DVD boxset
– Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie DVD
– Sonic Underground DVD boxset
– Sonic X promotional DVD
– All 4 volumes of the UK Sonic X DVDs
First 4 Figures have revealed a 22 inch high Dr. Robotnik statue. This statue marks First 4 Figures’ biggest statue yet and the price reflects this; a whopping $399.99. The reason for the increased size is Robotnik has been made “to scale” so he stands taller than First 4 Figures’ Sonic and Metal Sonic statues for instance. Check out the statue below. We love the look of classic Robotnik and that expression is excellent:
You can pre-order the Robotnik statue from First 4 Figures’ website. The statue is limited to 1000 pieces and will start shipping in quarter 2 2015.
First4Figures are teasing 2 Sonic Generations themed Sonic statues. The first features Modern Sonic on his snowboard as per the City Escape slope sections and the second features Classic Sonic on his skateboard also from the same stage. Check out the teaser trailer below:
