Here are 3 of the 'small size' plushes from Sega-World Sydney. How small? You can see the Sonic fits into a regular size mug! (Mug also from Segaworld) The Sonic is semi-cute...if you can get past his rather hairy eyes...They used wooly/fuzzy cloth for the whole plush so the fuzzyness of it gives an unfortunate effect vs. his plastic eyes. Notice how he has mittens instead of gloves, the mouth is open & his ears are super small. There's also their small Robotnick, who's face is fuzzy & makes use of the long hair/fur fabric for his mustash...which is a bit big and results in it looking like a sideburn or something.
The rest of him is remarkably well put together with regards to the AoStH show, complete with the low boots. The Tails...is once again their most mutant thing. In fact, it is SO mutant and un-Tails-like that this tiny one joins the larger size version over on Mutant Gear. Also, see how big he is here. These are all the same set too, its not like that's "medium Tails" in with a mini Sonic. Regardless of their construction, all these dolls shown here are rare. The Robotnick one is also really costly regardless of the size, when it appears for sale.
You've seen other plushes here around Australia Items that are like this, but none that are this big. This is their 23 inch size from Segaworld Sydney. It's supposed to be the biggest size. You can tell it's from a same/similar pattern as the others with the odd oval nose, distinctive 'cartoony' sort of eyes and open mouth with red toungue. However sometimes bigger dolls are more distinct (sometimes worse too) in other ways. For starters, look at his wierd ear. It's more like a horse ear, on the side of his head. Then look at how the sock & glove cuffs aren't attached. (easily spot ankle & wrist color) They could have been tack-stitched on and broken later, or just never attached. With a doll this big "mitten hands" are a no-no (unless it's Knuckles, of course!) but it looks like this one's got 'em. He's cute, if not totally on-model though.
As you've seen on the previous pages, Segaworld made plushes of several characters in several sizes. This is a close up shot of their smallest Sally doll. The back view exposes they used only 'fabric hair' rather than sculpting her hair and stuffing it. Also, her tail is hair as well. The face is a little squished, and the body is a little short/wide but it still mostly looks like her. The tag is still attached, and it is a diecut of the colorful Segaworld logo.
Here's a simple little plush from Sega World.
As you can see by the ruler, he isn't very big, but he sure is happy! The plush has a few minor things, such as no fingers, just mittens and no blue neck, but it still looks fairly Sonic-like and cheerful. The back/spikes are pretty accurate as well, especially with something quite this small. If you recognize the expression (open mouth, oval nose, large mono-eye) it's been used to design the plush backpack, and another larger (similar) plush.
This plush is from Segaworld, probably one of the mid-size ones.
It's a somewhat unusual looking little thing, very 'cartoony' styled and 'cute'. Notice the very small ears, mitten hands and very close together eyes. This has an oval solid plastic nose, rather than the stuffed/plush noses on most other dolls. Also, his mouth is open to enhance the cute styling. This is an interesting and different looking plush for your collection--if you can find it.
Does this look familiar?
It might, if you look above on this page. Unlike the plushes above, this is a back pack. The interior of the plush is hollow, so you can put things inside. Likely, it zips up in the back. You can see the shoulder traps here. While not large enough for school things, it's probably still a good tote.
The wide mono-eye gives him a cartoony look, along with the very oval pupils. The body is rather 'fat' but in an oldschool way. Despite being larger, this guy still has 'mitten hands' with no real fingers. As above, his mouth is open, he has small ears and an oval plastic nose. Over-all, this is a cartoony and cute Sonic plush container.
Hooray for um. Eggman/Robotnik. In 3 sizes, no less. Notice that he is without that robotic arm they ended up giving him in the SatAm show. This is more of an Early UK adaptation of the design.
The one to the right is the 'medium' one, and you can see he looks a bit disgruntled, but is pretty accurate to the AoSTH style. The moustache is 'fur' rather than a cut-out, and his detailing appears to be felt.
Princess Sally Acorn Plush dolls! It looks like the larger these get, the more mutant they become. Even Australia was not immune to mutant plushies. And these are the official photos for their site, so you can bet they tried to make them look their 'best'.
The problem seems to be with using hairy 'fur' fabric to try to make her hair from the show. The largest doll also has 'big body' and they did not seem to give any of them any fingers at all, so the arms are just kind of stumps. The eyes don't appear really blue in the photo either, which was a stand-out feature of the character.
Someone finally bought a Segaworld Sally...but look at their Tails! He's awful! The tiny beady eyes, the thread-like nose stripe...and what's wrong with his cuffs? This thing IS an actual mutant item! (You can see it over on Mutant Gear) They weren't even trying with this terrible Tails. But at least you can get another look at the rare and interesting Sally Plush to get an idea of about how big both of these are.
A better look at the backpack!
This is the large backpack plush that appears above on this page, only now you can see all the angles, and how it's put together. They've removed Sonic's back spikes to make him easier to wear, & you can see how the red straps are attached to his head & bottom of his body. The hand & modern small plush also give an idea of the size.
You can see they don't yet grasp the 'belly dot' concept as it seems to go right up to his neck without the blue part across the front area. The nose is also likely a 'leftover' from something else, as it's a wide/horizontal oval shape that nothing else uses. This, the mitten hands, 'big body', & wide 'eye' all contribute to keeping the very cutsie cartoony look that this Segaworld liked to portray for him.
