    This is a mock-up for the upcoming "Team Chaotix" box set of figures. Vector & Espio will be a re-buy for fans who already got them, but Charmy the Bee is all new! (Likely why he's shown headlining the box here) This is just a mock up, so it has…

Here is the Phunny Sonic plush as a fan/store photo so you can see how it actually turned out. Kid Robot is the company behind the "Phunny" line. The plush on the line are supposed to appear as little-ized/cutie type simple characters rather than being an exact representation of whoever the plush is for. In Sonic's case, it means no pupils/just the green color for the eyes, simple/mini hands, a bit of the 'little big-heads' look, and maybe the body is dumpy on purpose with close-together legs? The nose may also be minimized a bit.
Unlike certain other 'characterizations' (looking at you, scary funko) this one comes across a bit more of 'ok'. The blank eyes are a bit odd, but the head shape & standing up ears seem nicely done. There is embroidery for all the edges of the face details & mouth. The fabric they use is soft/good feeling. He's not very big, the usual 'about 8 inches or so' that seems to be the big trend in plush. The tag is large/card with a modern Sonic face & modern logo. How much does this cost?

The Phunny Tails plush has been spotted.
Here he is in Target. Like the Sonic, he is stylized in the 'Phunny' character style. This means blank/simple eyes, simplified face and 'chibi-type' style with reduced-detail small limbs. And...it's ok, but not amazing.
For 'chibi style' it suffers from big-body, and it would still be big-body even if it wasn't trying to be little-bigheads/chibi type. The blank eyes and open mouth kind of reduce the personality of it. Notice the tail-tip details in that they're sewn only onto one side of the flattened-on-purpose tails. This gives it more of a 'dolly-vibe' that they were probably going for.

The construction is all very quality, regardless of the style. The embroidery is always nicely done and thick. The stuffing is very even & the felt details are thick quality as well. The pattern they used was clearly well thought out....into their own style and it executed probably exactly as planned. It's a very tidy thing. It's also probably about 15.00+ dollars if you can find it. Targets apparently didn't have the best distribution for the Phunny plushes in early 2021.
