Jakks Pacific's "Little Big Heads" plushes

A first look at the factory photos for Jakks Pacific's "Little Big Heads" style classic plushes. Here, they have classic Amy Rose, Mighty & Super Sonic. They're all not-quite-chibi style, with large heads, short limbs, simple hands, and smaller bodies. The details are all embroidered & look quality. From the front, the head shapes seem good, as do the expressions/eye shapes. Amy's bangs are a thick flat felt (normal) Mighty has stitched details for his ears (a good choice, his ears are unique) They've got Sonic's buckles & Amy's laces and her dress looks good/fits well even though she's a little big head.

The only real curiosity is how they handled Mighty's...neck? Back? What IS the actual real deal with it? (Obviously he was always just a somewhat modified Sonic sprite from the get-go) but the red part is supposed to be his armadillo shell, but he was always structured like Sonic? As in, no neck at all/head mounted directly to shoulders almost so it's a little odd to see black kind of going up directly from outer-shoulder area to edge of face? Maybe they don't know either. It's not terrible but it seems maybe an odd choice.

In the image gallary is a box full of the Jakks Pacific 'little big heads' classic plush Super Sonic. And, with this, you can see they're more than just 'somewhat chibi style', they're also going with even more simplification. Like the head isn't round at all, it's more of a flat/pancake type thing with the features embroidered on. Then, they didn't bother with his spikes in the back at all, they just kind of put points along the top of the head to give the impression of how they go. They did bother with his back spikes, shoe buckles, and possibly his tail?
Skimping out on the head/spikes makes this a little bit of an odd one, maybe a little too simplified for something at this price because they jumped right into 'that's pretty much inaccurate' over the fence of chibi-type.

Here are the fan photos for Jakks Pacific's Mighty & Amy classic style small plush dolls. They're seen here at a Game Stop. As compared with the factory photos, they look decent. Amy's still got her shoe ribbons, Mighty's ear-stitching looks fine/as is his shoe embroidery. Amy's legs clearly just kind of fold up when she is 'sitting up' like this but they're there under the skirt. Her eyes seem a little bit too big for the face though. 

Have there been better classic Amys? Yes, but is this one fine? Also yes. The Mighty is neat to buy just because it is the first Mighty plush to exist. He is decent, even if he looks a bit cross. 

The Classic Sonic plush is at Target stores in fall 2020, but it MAY be in the toys aisles OR in the Electronics/video games area. It depends on the Target store where you will find it. Like the other classics on this plush line, the body is wide and squat on purpose, with super short limbs and tiny hands. The head is super simplified with the spikes just 'mashed' to be on one side only and then the whole head is flat in the back. Plus, the head is also flat front-to-back too, so more like a smily-emoji-disk than an actual plush head. They did get his shoe buckles & the different color for the shoe-soles though. The face itself is ok, with properly shaped eye, decent nose/lower face, pleasent enough expression and nicely placed ears. This is an all right plush to collect if you don't mind the level of simplification.
