ANOTHER line of figures?
Jakks Pacific seems to be on a real figure spree in the summer/fall of 2020. Un-announced, here comes a 2 inch tiny figure line of simpler, less-costly, action figures. They seem a little smaller than the old Jazwares 2.whatever size line (2.5, 2.75 etc) and have less articulation. You can move the hip, shoulder & neck only, except for Knuckles who probably can't move his head much at all, as is the usual for him.
They look nice on a simple bubble card & good modern CG/photos for the packaging. The card style is not over the top & protects the figure well. It would look good displayed mint on card also, because you can see the sides of the figure/the bubble front is clear on the edges/wide enough & no gimmicks.
The first set has Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, Metal Sonic & shockingly a Neutral Chao with 3 fun rings. Nice move! The chao is scaled to the other figures too, so it will look cute on display. Choosing unusual characters who don't often get figures is likely a great move for this tiny line.
The Sonic & Knuckles are good for their size. Sonic's body shape is ok, but slightly square. Knuckles' doesn't really have his correct body shape as it is more rectangular than a 'slightly tapered shape' that he actually has. But, look at the great fists & properly shaped head. He is leaned back a little in the package (see side view) probably to keep the face in an ok position for when people find this on shelves. Knuckles' mouth is a bit too red/almost looks like a lip/lips but it is such a minor thing. (Sonic's is a bit red also but it's waaaay under the face so it's always in shadowed/harder to notice)
The figures should be about 5 dollars each and are confrimed in TARGET (not online though) retail stores so far. If you see these anywhere else at retail, you can write in for credit.

Opinion Zone:
Great! Buy them all. You're not going to go wrong at 5 dollars per figure.
Jakks Pacific is putting their technology to use making head sculpts from the games so it's accurate.
No stupid gimmick packaging means the savings are passed along to you
The size is fine for a 'mini line' & reminiscent of Jazwares
Interesting choices with a bad-guy AND a Chao on the first wave
