Here are the first 4 plushes of the Sonic Boom 8 inch size. This is a factory photo. Notice what accessories they DO and DONT have. Like Tails does not have his goggles, but Knuckles does have his wrist band. Is Sonic's bandana really black on the toy, or is the lighting wrong in the photo?
These dolls look good.
The faces seem nicely accurate to the Boom designs. The Tails manages to be cute, everyone's eyes are correctly placed & the faces look properly shaped (no flat-face, tall-head or squashing going on) The decent design work is nice to see on plushes as small as 8 inches, like these. If the final dolls look as good as the factory photo, Boom fans can be pleased to pick them up. How much do they cost? Photo discovered by Ultimate Hedgehog
At the right are 2 sizes for Sonic & small size Knuckles dolls shown at E3 Sonic Boom booth in 2014. "Big body" Boom Knuckles suffers a little as a small doll, the body looks flat/rectangle/squished. Big Sonic appears to have good detail, while everyone's random bandages are represented by stripy white material. Notice the background has a sort of 'jungle' theme, with stools, green ground & trees. The Boom booth was apparently sort of jungle. Discovered by: Segasonic3039

This is likely a larger size of doll than the ones above. Notice how Tails has his goggles accessory & the sports tape on the shoes seems to be more toward the toe of the shoe. This is a fan photo. The dolls should start showing up in October of 2014 at Toys R Us.

This is a larger size Sonic plush with....a plush hot dog accessory. They decided to include a stuffed chili dog with this doll. The Sonic itself looks ok, the ear-borders are all but eliminated though & even with Boom that's not on-model. His hands seem a little small / under-detailed, especially if this is supposed to be a big size doll. This seems to be the first time a doll has come with a plushie accessory.

This factory photo is a better shot of the 8 inch size Tails. You can see the 3D detail of his goggles, the correct eye color (note that the entire eye, even the white is embroidered) & the flat felt strip for his bangs.
Here are Tomy's official photos for Amy & Knuckles dolls. These are likely 'close to release', rather than the more prototype style dolls above. Amy is ok, but that's about it. She has the 'giant pinky finger' problem, resulting from not-well-planned finger strings. She has 'center mouth' which is popular with Boom designs. Is she missing a button on her dress? The ears are a bit small, but her head shape & eyelashes look good.
Knuckles however...is a different story. He's rather...wiggly, with sort of 'pizza slice' shape triangle body, smallish fists with random 'bandage lines' just drawn on there & an annoyed expression.
The whole Boom = Big Body design for Knuckles never lends itself well for plush-structure, but the fold at the bottom of the fabric for the 'torso' makes the legs look tacked on and extra strange.
