    Jazwares bendy Re-Release
    Jazwares is also re-releasing the bendy figures!The bendies are still on the same smallish card under a square bubble, but now the theme is mostly orange/yellow, like most of Jazwares items. So far, they've only produced individual figures (not the bendy-4-pak) of Sonic & Shadow. Hopefully, they'll pick up the…

These shots give you a look at the Metal Sonic JUVI which is an exclusive to the San Diego Comic Con in 2009. This will also be sold at the website of Toys R Us only, and only during the ComicCon period of time--making it exclusive.

Look carefully at the shots above, and you'll see some variations. The differences are in the eyes, shiny-quality of the paint, and the engine intake graphic. While JUVI figures naturally have minimal detail, the engine hood and 3D center have been added and the spikes have an authentic look. When on sale, it retailed for $15.99. Relations

Here are the final pictures for the Metal Sonic JUVI. This one is the actual released one, as owned by a Sonic fan. As you can see, the paint ended up quite shiny and nice metallic, and the eyes do appear bright red and the engine front black, so it's more a combination of the two above and it works out well. (making the above shots prototype like, except for the sculpt)

These JUVI figures are more than just statues, they can be posed too, as you can see above. They'll twist at the waist and neck and the arms can move too. For a simplified version of Metal Sonic, this is really quite good. The glossy glittery paint is a wonderful touch, and the head sculpt comes across well despite having no nose (its just painted on) It would be easy for this to look goofy, but it doesn't. It seems like a proper 'chibi' version. There's even detail in the engine back. The box is nice as well, with plenty of clear plastic so the figure displays well inside. The back shows the other 4 figures you'll be able to collect in the store when they are released in JUVI form.

This shot shows the size of him, which should be the size for all further JUVI figures, which...is not that big. Actual stats will be coming soon. ##
The figures seem to have a good paint job over-all, though small overspray is possible on some.

Strangely, the Metal Sonic of the JUVI line turned out to be their best figure.
It was the only one that did not use 'self shading' had the facial features on the actual FRONT of the face, and was not directly cross-eyed looking. Self shading means that a set of highlights is painted on over the natural paint of the figure. As you'll see, this makes certain figures appear odd and stripy. It's especially noticible on the gloves as their fingers are dark gray, while the hands are white. Since actual shading changes as you move an object, it gives the appearance of oddly colored gloves and striped skin.
