    Bio World Sonic wallet
    Bio World has released a classic style Sonic wallet in fall 2010. It uses a Japan styled Sonic stock art, but it also contains a mistake! Look into his ear, they have forgotten to color it! It doesn't really detract from the look, but it is odd. An interesting old-style…

Here is fuzzy/ flocked Sonic, from SanDiego Comic Con 2011. He was $30.00 there, but also sold on the Toys R Us website afterward. 

 

This figure is the 10 inch giant Jazwares Sonic, but covered in a layer of fuzzy flocking. You can see the texture of it with these close-ups. Only the blue parts of him are flocked, except where the joints are. (Joint action would rub it all off) The box differs a little bit as well, as seen above. (20th logo replaces name on the front, ComicCon official sticker, etc) The rest of it is the same. The figure works the same way, and is identical except for the fuzz. You may be able to buy excess figures from the ToysRUs website in summer 2011. 

 

Never owned a flocked item before? They're not quite like normal items, so it's a good idea to look at how to care for it. Touching it is just fine (and the point of the figure!) but for best look and collectibility...

Flocked Figure Care:
It would likely be a good idea to leave this MIB if you get it. Flocking attracts dust, lint & fuzz. It is difficult to clean. Wetting it may mar the look of the flocking. Flock-glue can yellow in direct sunlight. Flocking can be scratched/gouged off and is nearly impossible to repair, so if he gets hit, or falls off something he'll look bad. Flocking can get "Crush-down" which is if something presses on it/touches it for a while, the hairs will lay flat, and not stand up again, causing a bad look. The box should protect from all of that, while still being remove-able enough to touch the figure. Touching flocked things doesn't harm them.
