For some reason, mobile phones have not made walkie talkies obsolete enough, so this pair was produced in the fall of 2010. The units are shaped like the semi-3D heads of Sonic & Shadow. Due to the shortened spikes Sonic appears 'classicly styled' even though he's not supposed to be, and Shadow does as well, even though he was never classic! The effect is interesting, and the heads seem well made. Each has an antenna, and 'talk' button (see it there, by the right ear) There are likely mic. & speaker holes on the backs of their heads. These will need batteries (likely AA) to run, and were licensed out by Jazwares. The middle sticker says "Only at Toys R Us" so these are an exclusive, and the other sticker says "Secretly Chat with Your Friends". How much do these generally sell for?

At left is the re-package for the same walkie talkies. This one has the 20th Anniversary branding (See middle) and lacks the TRU exclusive sticker. So does that mean this other package can appear in different stores? This pack is less colorful, but shaped the same. It only has Sonic art, instead of Shadow too, and replaces the yellow/orange with black checkers & plain yellow. The stickers say the same thing as before, just at a different angle.
