A really cool PVC Figure Collection!
These small figures are most of the badniks from Sonic 1 on the Genisis, including an accurate (and angry) Eggman. Chop Chop fish, Crabmeat, Katerkiller, Moto Bug, Roller, Ball Hog and more! But what's that in the background? A Metal Sonic figure. He's the only one who doesn't belong...so how did he get on a Sonic 1 set? This set is rare and expensive, but looks great to own!
Of course, you need a closeup of the Metal Sonic figure! You can see it in the image gallary at the right (or bottom for mobile). It's a fairly good likeness, with no glaring problems...except the ears, which are both non-matching and inaccurate. Why is one green and the other red? It's very nonsensical and curious. Notice that they used actual gold-tone paint on the accents for a great touch. You never see it on Ebay, so it must be quite rare, as with all Metal Sonic things
There's also Roller & Crabmeat PVCs. You can see their paint is pretty OK, though it has some rough-ish areas.
Someone has accumulated lots of these Sonic mini PVC figures here from some same, and some different sets. You've got the '4-packs' with badnicks, the 3-pack with 3 different Sonics, some of the "Figures & Cards" collectibles there too. It's a good look at the types of packaging and badnik selection of the time.
This box-back shows all the figures you could collect from the sets. Interestingly, the Set is called S&K but the badniks are mostly Sonic 1 fare, such as Ball Hog & Caterkiller. The back is written in several European languages. This was distributed by Copyright promotion It's still quite a cool thing to see all of these sought-after PVCs in one place, even though their Tails & Sonics weren't the best sculpt.
In the gallary is a nice cardboard box.
It held the little metal Sonic figure (cast metal, from Segaworld) along with 3 other small figures . The box has a nice white line-art Sonic theme with bold Sega logo. It is not known where it is from. This, and the following 4 photos from: Rhia.
Also in the gallary, is a collection photo of the PVCs you've seen on Display Figures and in the UK Section. Caterkiller, Knuckles, Sonic, Tails & Crabmeat all appear here, but the new element is the cards you see below them. They have stats at the bottom (Strength, speed, etc) like you would see on Pokemon or other types of trading cards. Did the cards come with the figures? Are the a separate card game no one has yet mentioned? The cards appear to have figure photos on them, so it's unlikely they were a separate set. Also, this display looks like it appeared at a Summer of Sonic--so someone has to know something about them. If you do, write in for credit!
