Figures...in spheres!
Are they action? It's unknown, but they're new in Summer 2020 from Jakks Pacific. Each clear plastic ball has a classic figure inside. Here, you can see Sonic, Knuckles & Tails to the left & Sonic and RAY to the right. They are likely to be fixed-position figures, with the ball rolling around providing the 'action' part of action-figure.
What's notable here is that it is likely the very first merchandise of Ray the Flying Squirrel! He first appeared in the isometric and uncommon Sonic arcade game, along with Mighty. Then, he was unused until Sonic Mania.
They're not too large, with the ball in a cardboard case that serves as the hang tag for it so it can go on shelves.
Here, they're seen at Books A Million in the USA...but where else are they? BAM stores aren't that common to every state, so they have to have some better plan for releasing these. That they're not in Target (with the rest of JP stuff) may be an effect of the virus wrecking distribution. If they're found elsewhere, this entry will be updated.

Now, Metal Sonic is in the sphere!
Jakks Pacific keeps adding classic characters to these odd plastic spheres, so, Metal Sonic must have been next on their list as he is now at Books a Million stores too. Notice the word there below the logo "Booster". But why? What do these boost? They all have the word there. The figure looks ok, but the spheres make them hard to photograph properly in any light, and the BAM pricing makes them difficult to buy at nearly 10 dollars for a tiny item in a clear globe.
