    Happy Birthday Sonic Flannel
    This item is described as 'a flanel'.Yes but a flanel what? Flanel is a type of soft cloth but really what are you going to do with a cloth square? (if it's Sonic, collect it!)This was produced for Sonic's birthday in 2009, and it also promotes the moblie site for…

Look at noodley Sonic & Shadow! They're super tall and wiggly with long legs and little shoes. These odd features and long arms make them look rather strange. The faces seem just ok, certainly better than toynetwork, but still leaving a bit to be desired. The hands are also small and flat, though Shadow's are bent into odd flattened fists. The tag has a diecut end making it recognizable. These are being sold at ToyGlobe.com , but are made by KellyToy. The Silver plush (right) is also made by KellyToy, but you'll notice it is differently proportioned. Not nearly so oddly tall. Plus, he looks different from his prototype shot...perhaps a little better. They attended his glove and shoe details, and his eyes are indeed yellow. But why is he silver-tone? The game clearly depicted him as being white only.

Supposedly these will range in height up to 6 ft (72 inches) but that has yet to be confirmed. If confirmed, it will be posted here. KellyToy info provided by Encas. You cannot buy direct from the KellyToy Site. Toyglobe.com is known to sell at least 1 of the sizes. 

Here's most of the group of Kelly Toy Sonic plushes, all laid out together. As you can see, no one escapes having super long legs. Cream likely does as well, but since she has a dress, it helps hide the condition. For an all new line, they are just all right. They have fingers, but the hands are excessively flat, even Knuckles, who's trademarks ARE his fists. Tails' tails are also flat-ish and everyone is very tall and thin. The faces are not outrageous or horrible, though Cream is cross-eyed. They're above ToyNetwork but there's still some to be desired. Notice the tag: it has die-cut jumping Sonic at the end, and the Sonic logo, but it does NOT use "Sonic X" anywhere. Do mind this as likely more sizes will be released.

Super Sonic didn't fare much better than Silver, but at least his shiny color is somewhat appropriate. It's likely only the 2nd official Super Sonic plush to exist, and it's not a great showing. He'd of looked better in yellow cloth, and of course, there's the noodly legs. The spikes are somewhat small, but at least they paid enough attention that they're turned upwards as they should be. The eyes on this are red as well, and they've changed the expression to 'concentrating' but with the way one of the eyebrow pieces is on this one, he just looks perplexed. 

 

And finally, here's their Silver. This is the first plush done of him, it's just too bad they couldn't get the color right. He should be white...and he just looks sorta odd in metallic. However, they were paying good attention to his details if you look at his gloves, sock and shoe (inset, left) They also used embroidery for the eyes making them stable and well positioned. As you can see, he does have his 2 large head-back spikes but they did not quite figure out how to do the front ones. The 2nd photo reveals they're more of an eyebrow/mass than in the game. Two you can see extend off the sides, but then the rest it seems are just growing out of the top of his head somehow. It's really a bit strange and the reflective fabric doesn't help anyone grasp the concept. He doesn't seem as 'noodly' as the rest of the lot, and it does look like they're making an attempt.

This can be found at Six Flags Over Texas, as a skill game prize. The giant version is available there.

With this photo, you can see all the sizes Kelly Toy makes all lined up. Who would have this many of Silver (he's in back) Shadow, Knuckles and Super Sonic? Sega...which is who took this photo. You can see they have a great range of size all the way from person-size to very miniature (that Shadow on the far right is almost too small to be seen in the photo...yes there's one AFTER the last one you see on the arm) Here, they're displayed on benches.

Not to leave anyone out, Kelly toy also makes an Amy Rose. She appears to not be as common as the rest. Like Cream, her dress helps her to not look as 'noodly/tall' as the rest, and her feet do seem to be in good proportion. It appears her eyes are a lighter green than Sonic's which helps
her detail as well. With a bit of bending to her not-over-done eyelashes, she could make for a dcent plush. Is Amy Rose also available in all sizes?
