GE strikes again!
This time with a villian! It's classic Metal Sonic plush. And, wow, they are really giving Tomy what-for on quality. This actually looks like the classic Metal Sonic, save for 1 forgotten detail. (The white stripe around the bottom edge of each shoe is missing) Robots rarely translate well into plush because of all the rounded edges/stuffiness of plush, but this is making an effort. The 'belly dot' engine is indented, they left the fingers as flat pointy felts (as it should be) the bolt details for face edge, elbow, shoe swivel & knee are all present. Then, look how they did the shoulder cuffs, they're actually 3D set in place. The ears are yellow & appropriatly small. The eye style is good as well, the reds are right & thin/well shaped too. By layering the shins/fore-arms it really adds good detail. The nose isn't missing. This factory photo has it from extat-right-ahead making it difficult to see, but it is a pointy cone.

This guy is 1 detail away from being best produced MS plush yet! Will they add the shoe stripe before release? How does the back look? Fan photos for turn-arounds are awaited.
