A new company joins the prize scene in Australia in 2019!
It's "Bensons", and they are producing variously sized modern-only character plushes for use in carnivals, this 'showbag' place, and probably arcades too.And, as expected, they seem 'okay'.

The nature of a prize is to give it away, so naturally it has to be made as inexpensively as possible. This often leads to horrible, low quality items or shifty practices like the Kelly Toy noodle limbs or rotten ToyNetwork Trash. This is all avoidable though, with decent pattern work & Bensons seems to be at least all right at it. The Shadow has ambroidered eyes, the correct arm/leg/eye markings & spikes going fairly correct. The feet are super tiny though & the shoes lack sole detail for the hover holes. These use a common paper tag that many other companies also use, but the branding is on the back.

His ears aren't stuffed, and the eye-white fabric is 'plastic-like' on the surface. The cuffs for gloves/socks are super minimal & the eyebrow ridge is kind of crinkly. As you can see, they've got Sonic Tails Knuckles as well, seen hanging at left. Their largest size dolls are in the photo above, but in this case they were folded in half and hung from the ceiling, making them really difficult to tell how good they are. Like the Tails looks like it has a huge snoot while the Sonic appears somewhat shrivelled...when this may not be the case because that's hardly an ideal way to display. The large Shadow though, is clearly better than the other dolls, which is also unusual.
But, game-players be alterted, Bensons is out now and seems to be doing a good enough job that you'd want to win one of these. These photos were at the Perth Royal Show.
