When First4Figures decides to add a vehicle to their sculpture line, watch out! They go big, and they go cool!
Their first more of a 'diorama' or figures & vehicle sculpt is the iconic "Tornado" airplane-biplane, built by Tails. Of course, the plane has to have TWO figures, not just one, so it's extra cool to begin with. Sonic stands ready in his usual position on the upper wing, while Tails pilots the plane in the cockpit. Look at the detail, Tails' bangs are blowing in the wind & he has fully sculpted hands on the steering yoke. Sonic is appropriatly very classic looking, with a nice active pose upon the wing.
The plane is great, with really metallic looking paint & 'spinning look' propeller. The light up feature (on deluxe model of the statue, of course) is the flame from the added jet engine underneath. You can see how the glow reflects off the paint. The base is a stylized cloud to hold up the plane...but that black piece you see there is POSE-able so you can actually tilt the plane. F4F is never short on great features.
