It should be considered 2011, when Jazwares released mini racer Knuckles on the single card. For some reason, he was produced much later than the other single-card mini racers. However, all should be on the shelves of Toys R Us at the same time. His complex off-road vehicle looks good here, and seems detailed & proportional. Further photos & review pending getting this figure.
Here is the long-awaited mini Knuckles Racer. For some reason, he was released as a single-card, months later than the other mini racers. As you can see, his off-road ATV style vehicle is still nicely detailed, and so is he. The figure is in nice scale with the vehicle, and it seems well painted. You can see how it compares to the Tails plane & their 3.5 inch figure.
