    Metal Sonic & Eggman kid robot figures
    In 2021, Kid Robot is releasing figure 2 packs.Their first pack (oddly) is Metal Sonic & Eggman. They have chosen a 'styleized look' for the characters. They're sort of...what, mini? Chibi-alike but not quite? Like the legs are stumpy but the bodies are fat/dumpy also. It's kind of an odd…

This is a bit of a poor surprise.
As you recall from the previous page of Super Posers, Jazwares, in a cash-grab move, recolored the original, poorly sculpted Toy Island Super Poser Sonic yellow in a lazy effort to get more money from the fans. Unfortunately...
Jazwares makes a minor improvement here, and re-releases the figure. They have re-sculpted & re-attached the spikes for the super poser so that they are upward, as Super Sonic should be. However, they didn't fix anything else about the figure. The face, especially isn't up to their good standard of modern sculpting. It still suffers from fat wrist/ankle & wierd lanky limbs/lazy hands & all the previous Toy Island problems...except most of the spikes.

 

Why Jazwares can't just make the Super Poser Sonic BETTER by re-doing him is a mystery. Making the 'up' spikes took an entire new head mold, so the money is already invested. Why not use the opportunity to at least fix his face?
This should be on your shopping list if you don't already have a Super Poser Super Sonic, or if you really need to spend on a slightly improved one. Photo discovered by PacmanSonic138

 

With these fan photos you can see how they STILL manage to mess up his spikes. Sure they turned up the ones that articulated, but as anyone who has actually played a Sonic game will know...they missed that top one. All of Super Sonic's spikes are curved differently than regular Sonic's. This lazy figure just needs an overhaul instead of them trying to 'improve' it while missing something at every turn.
