    "Sonic and the Silicon Warriors" Apparently 'silicon' is very like 'chrome'. But oh well. You can look it up on the Amazon link to the left."Sonic's pals - even that feisty fox Tails - have been sucked inside computers, and infected with a disintegrator virus.Yes, that egg-crazy weirdo Doctor Robotnik…

For some reason, Jazwares has also decided to Re-Release (re-re-re-release, really) some older Toy Island figures. In fact, they picked their FIRST LINE which was also largely considered to be their worst line. These big clunky figures mostly had ugly head-sculpts with innacurate faces. They weren't very articulated, though they did originally come with several accessories which Jazwares has REMOVED.
You can track the history of this motely bunch of figures by browsing through SonicGear. Because this is an n'th generation release, the figures are covered fully on other pages, while this one will just give a summary.

Well here they are. You can see that Jazwares has done absolutely nothing to improve these guys. Sonic still has his rubbery head with dot-like tilted-wrong eyes, Knuckles is still permenently hunched over with a gigantic noggin & Tails looks incredibly dumb. He still suffers from "big body" and has a completely stupid expression on his face. The only thing they've changed is the box, and they're now a TRU exclusive (sticker) The original line was also found at KB Toys, back when it was Sonic Adventure 1. The other sticker says "From the new hit game!" Which is wonderfully non-specific.

Why why why did they choose the worst line? People are going to think their figures are as junky as the old Toy Island ones. Want to read more about their many re-releases?
The first time they appeared was for Sonic Adventure 1. The in-depth review is seen on Toy Island Series 1. Then, be sure to go all the way to the bottom of that page, to see them get released for the second time, this one in Sonic X packaging. Then, for their third release, see Toy Island Series 2, which will show you their "Figures & Keychains" release. This makes the FOURTH time that these guys have come out. Apparently they only chose "the big 3" leaving off Big and Eggman, although those two figures actually were the best figures on this line!
