Interesting new themed figures! While enclosing a sword accessory with a Sonic figure, or changing one of his gloves sort of creates a "Sonic & Black Knight" themed figure...this one with full Excalibur Armor from the game creates a REAL difference. Plus, look at the sword! It's much more elaborate, plus it "Glows in the Dark!" You can also see up there a visor accessory, and what looks like a cape behind him. They appear to return to black packaging with these figures. Shadow is here too, as "Sir Lancelot" & he also comes in the full armor, with his visor & special sword from the game. (Disregard logo at the bottom, its a watermark) Both figures look great here in their Sonic & Black Knight themed packaging.
Available November 2012. These are 5 inch size figures. Does NOT appear to be TRU exclusive. These should be either 11.99 or 14.99 each. Discovered by: TheTumblex, Lancelot by HYPERAWESOMEDARKSUPERSHADOW
The box (seen at right) has a large Sonic & Caliburn portrait on the front behind the figure. The back is plain, with the castle background, Sonic & SBK logo. The text at the top says "From the Hit Game". The game was not a mega-seller, however "hit game" is always used to describe any game that gets a figure made for it. The box is the same, regardless of figure. The Sonic is called "Excalibur Sonic" and the Shadow is called "Sir Lancelot". They both have 2 removable accessories (visor & sword) Shadow's doesn't glow. The swords have good proportions, each is about as tall as the figure. Sonic's visor is in 2 parts (snaps together) and fits onto his helmet. The figure's hands are identical, but everything from the wrist up is unique. The cape/butt-cape/half a skirt Sonic has is soft bendy rubber so it wont break.
The 5 inch size is super for these detailed figures Excalibur Sonic has loads of textured detail, seen here.The inset shows they even got the scrolling designs on the ankle parts of the armor, as a texture.
The visor part is hinged, & it can come apart. The top flips up or down. The bottom doesn't reach under his chin far enough so he can't 'see' out of it since it covers his eyes. NOTE: The Sonic figure inside the armor is still BLUE so the effect is very nice! You can see between the plates of armor that itn's not some generic yellow figur in there...it's actually a Sonic figure really wearing the armor. A nice touch!
