This is what the figure will look like on the shelves of your Toys R Us. Note that the silver "R" sticker is still there (naturally), but that the Werehog has a "From Sonic Unleashed" dot on his package instead of the sticker that tells you about the articulation. He's posed 'walking' with a slight hip twist under the same 'Sonic spin' shaped bubble. The rest of the box front appears unchanged from the first wave.
At the right (bottom for mobile) is an early shot of the Silver the Hedgehog figure, it's looking good so far! He'll be released together with the 3 inch Werehog and 3 inch Shadow, with bases to help them stand. Not a bad addition, as the bases are subtle and don't force you to use them, either. The box backs are the same, with Sonic Tails & Knuckles. Amy Rose should also be on this release, but as a "comic pak tie in" like Knuckles was on the first set. There should be plans to release both of them in the future on an individual card.
Silver's hands are dynamic, which is fitting due to all the gesturing he did.

Silver is here to impress. If there were to be a figure to test their painting ability, it's him. With detailed gloves, boots & a very different head, he would be a challenge--however they got it all in. The rings on both sides of his gloves are present, his hands are in a decent open/psychic position, no detail was left off of his boots, & they textured in his mane-like upper hair. (However, it is not on his shoulders, as it is in the game, likely due to articulation problems) He also has a mouth but it's nearly impossible to see. The black eye-edge ridge is not over-done, and he's quite an accurate figure.

The figures are not 100% free of flaws all the time.
This is a photo of 2 SEPARATE Silvers. The left is missing the red detail to his shoe top, the right is missing the blue hexagons on the track of his shoe. Like any figure you should ALWAYS inspect while in the store to check for any visible flaw (such as these) before you buy.

There have been many 'jumble packed' figures on the 3 inch line, with limbs twisted the wrong way, Tails reportedly broken, and elbows & knees on backward. Odd poses in the package, and figures that look like they were just 'thrown in the tray' on the card. Eventually, someone would take the worst of it, and here it appears to be Silver. His backward knee is the least of his problems with his tail in the FRONT due to his hips being backward in the package. Will parents complain? Hopefully not too many of him got out like this...it's no good for the line's image.
Silver:
Some on the (2nd?) wave of Silver figures CAN have all-white shoe bottoms. Always look before you buy, but if the whole/part of the run in your area has this, you may just have to wait to buy him.
Some Silvers may have weak wrists, be careful when first rotating the wrist, or the hand could come off. Info by Psyic Ninja Bat
The Bottom Line (Applies to Werehog and Shadow figures too)
GET this set! Line 2 is just as good as line 1, and the quality you expect is all still here. They're still a great value at around 5 dollars for such an articulated figure. With great detail & pose-ability PLUS the addition of bases for more poses they'll provide lots of fun. The bases are all the same (smooth, black, 'Sonic Spin' shaped with peg near 1 edge) & are actually hidden in the package directly behind the name-plate cardboard. They come as a surprise if you don't already know they're inside. With the ability to snap the figure onto the base, you can have a wider & more realistic array of poses.
Detail- Great, nothing missing on any of the figures
Not all Werehogs will be flawed/defect, however he remains the 'weakest link' on the line...however that's likely due to all werehog reference art, with the bent/knobby shoes he's harder to snap onto the base, and never liked to stand especially because he's top-heavy. The loss of the wrist joints isn't a big deal, and he still displays and poses just fine. The waist/hip/butt area is a bit too small/strange looking.
All the figure expressions seem appropriate and the faces well-done. The werehog is nicely textured all over, and has the 'center mouth' complete with fangs.
Paint- Seems MOST of them are free of paint errors/overspray no missed paint detail (But not all- look carefully!)
Articulation- VERY good on such a small line, all figures work well
Extras- Including bases is fantastic it really helps the figures and is sure to please
Packaging- Same as before, detailed bubble with 2 piece interior to secure the figure--feels sturdy & safe -looks cool
Price- Excellent, very inexpensive & affordable by everyone - figures VERY well worth it
Availability: Should be better with Toys R Us losing its grip on Jazwares. Toywiz.com (online) is known to have them (Info by SuperSonic1497) and other internet retailers/international shippers should follow suit.
Here's a Silver that got into the wrong box. As you can see there at the bottom the name on it is "Sonic the Hedgehog", but it's more than that. Silver doesn't generally fit into a package that was meant for another figure. His crown of spikes means he generally has to go into an insert (The plastic that hold him in place behind the 'spin' shaped front bubble) that is only for him. So, it's more than just the wrong front cardboard thing (that has the name on it) that had to be done to fit him in here. It doesn't do a whole lot to the value of the figure, but it's still interesting to see the occaisional accident.
