    Old Extreme shading, Sonic & Tails and motorcycle shirts
     This is a rather interesting old shirt, with its extreme shading and all-over design. The "zone" in the background has some trees and the classic checkered ground, but everything is all done in purple.Sonic is the usual running stock-art, but they've done an almost noir-ish job of shading it by…

Knuckles on his dune-buggy style off-road racer. This vehicle is rather cool, with Knuckles inspired coloring, as well as continuing the metal theme from his shoes onto the wheel guards. The figure looks like it fits on there well too, and the gripping hands will surely help it. Jazwares didn't have anything to do with the design of the cars themselves, but they look pretty much game-accurate here.

Knuckles looks great with his off-road style vehicle. The tires have good traction and are made of rubbery/tire-feeling substance. The 'metal' parts are made of a silvery plastic, which does have a bit of shine to it. It rolls well, but has no front end steering ability.

There's a slot in the seat (seen here) for his tail so that he has an easier time of being placed on the vehicle. He's shown here wire-tied onto it, as the tie is descreet and really helps keep him on there, though the handlebar gripping action helps that as well. With a creative car that's well detailed and the good Jazwares sculpting, this is a great Knuckles item to get.

Notice something DIFFERENT about these figures with vehicles racers? Knuckles (right) demonstrates how you can tell new racers from old ones. When this line was re-stocked, Jazwares used sturdier plastic for the figures. (that improved plastic) and they also packaged the figures standing beside, rather than in/on the vehicles. This is likely to reduce breaking in shipping.

You can use this sign for everyone except Sonic (who was never in his car) to tell new from old...so if you havn't gotten these guys yet, the standing-up ones are the ones you should go for. It's good to see they're looking to make improvements for figure safety in shipping. Comparison shots by Sonictoast
