“Ok Detective TSS! Are there any clues as to the next Sonic game?” Well F4F saying that their 25th anniversary statue must be classic, press material from various licensing and toy fairs saying classic. Interviews also saying classic. And now Tomy are releasing a classic themed toy line with the 25th anniversary logo all over it…
It’s hard not to jump to conclusions, it’s really hard, so many signs indicate that next year will be a classic themed one, why would there not be a game to support that, anyway…
Found in Tomy’s catalogue for 2016 are a bunch of classic Sonic toys complete with a new version of the 25th anniversary logo. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Eggman are set to get a plush toy release and Sonic, Tails and Knuckles are also going to get a figure release with a collectable coin.
Now these are clearly just mockup images as they use the Boom figures as place holder images and official art as place holders for the plush line.
In just over a months time there is both London and New York Toy Fair which would be the most likely place for them to make their first appearance.
Items are set for release July 2016.
Keep checking TSS for more information as and when we get it.

It's not the horrible boom style is it?

Just placeholders since they're actual toys already. If these are all high enough quality, goodbye discretionary funds for July 2016...

The 3" classic Sonic figures have been done so many times recently, I'm hoping these are high quality enough and different enough to warrant a purchase (who am I kidding, I'll buy them anyway).
Jazwares released classic Sonic, Tails, Eggman, Amy, and Metal. Knuckles was planned but cancelled. Metal was given an awful paint job and wasn't metallic:
Ignore the Metal Sonic in the pic below, it's the modern version, and the dumb word balloons.

First 4 Figures released a line of smaller PVC figures:

And there was also a line of big head little body figures, also from Jazwares:

So it'll be nice to finally have a Knuckles classic figure at least.
