    Cheerful 1991 Sonic plush
    This cheerful looking plush is rather fuzzy. The fabric for each of the colors looks soft, maybe related to the fabric of the USA's Caltoy Sonic doll. Tag is rather non-descript, just saying Segasonic with the copyright & year. This would mean that China had also adopted the Japan 'segasonic'…

Here, you can see the nice sharp details for Big. Even though he doesn't twist at the waist (a very easy/obvious joint to do, because he has a belt on to cover it) he's still the most articulated Big ever released. His legs will turn as well as tilt, you can move his tail back & forth, and his head will turn. His arms have a good range of motion, and his hands will twist. Note that they're a mirror-image of eachother. This Big is also the only one to have the points on the back of his head. Big seems very sturdy (obviously, he's so thick) and holds poses well. The expression is appropriatly zombie-like, so it's in-character for him. If you're going to get a Big, this is a great one to have.

Big's box can be seen most clearly when opened. It's an art of his house from Sonic Adventure 1, with a 'lake like' scene for the ground.

Notice that Froggy comes on top of a clear, lilly-pad shaped riser. (how creative! It's a good touch for MIB collectors!) The box back shows the figures instead of art, and has a small profile for him. However, it contains a typeo (Who, Who) likely caused by someone fiddling with the word-wrapping to get it into the hexagon, then never having it proofread.

What about Froggy? He's not really a figure, as he's solid and can't move. He is portrayed crouched, and with the chaos-tail he had in Sonic Adventure 1. Coloring is accurate, and the sculpt is good as well. He seems a fitting size. The right photo has the old Toy Island 6 inch line Froggy (that's why it's bigger) for comparison. Theirs is a little more dynamic, standing up on the feet, but their Big/Froggy were always considered strong sculpts. TI Froggy is considered rare.

It does look like Big's hands are meant to hold something, so why didn't they give him his favorite fishing rod? Every other release of him did. Though it's not the only thing he can hold...hmmm. The right photo shows all releases of Bigs. ReSaurus Big is the smallest Big, while JW Big is in the middle. The biggest Big is also the least articulated, he couldn't even turn his head. It is interesting to see the Bigs over the years of releases. Clearly, if you need a Big, this is the one to get, as he has a nice mix of articulation and sturdyness.

 Well what's this? Looks like a BIG mistake!
This pack is missing its Froggy all-together. Without Froggy there, it looks kind of like Big is gesturing 'well...where is he??' Obviously, watch out for mistakes like this, and make sure wrecked packs stay on the shelf!
