    Sonic bike helmet
    A bike helmet is a good idea for Sonic theme merchandise. Nice big item, always visible when worn, and encourages excersize. This was the first helmet produced, and features the usual stock art of Sonic plastered all over it. Even the seldom used "Weight Liftin' Sonic" appears, probably to continue…

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).
