First 4 Figures makes a great debut into the world of modern Sonic with this cool (and big!) statue / display figure. It has Modern style Sonic running on a sandy strip/base and is about 15 inches tall. (Gives the impression that it's bigger because he is leaned over in the pose) Naturally, like others before it, this statue has 2 versions: a light up & a non-lighting one.
The light up one uses the skid/spark/impact of the foot & also seemingly the 'water' under the base for the lighting effect. As expected, the detail here is great, look at the impact of the foot on the sand--it's well thought out. His arms are back like in the game, and he is having a facial expression (modern Sonic is often accused of promoting design where he's kind of neutral looking) this thankfully avoids the SA1 "BDG" (BigDumbGrin) , though he is still smiling/looking to the display side. The hands & shoes are very well crafted, everything looks proportional. Look at the nice use of matte (body) vs shiny (eye white).
