More Tomy 12 inch dolls!
But...why are the photos only showing up now in 2019, after Tomy has lost their Sonic license? Also, where were these plushes sold? How much did they cost? No one has ever reported finding one in a store. Target had Tomy's smaller line, but this larger one didn't seem to appear.
All mysteries about getting them aside...they're on par with the rest of Tomy's items, in that they're a pretty fair plush on the whole. Shadows' ear edges are rather too small & Knuckles' chest crescent mark is way too high and tiny. They also didn't shape Knuckles' body (teardrop is how it should be, the stripe would have worked better had they bothered), however they did bother to give him good and big fists & well as decently sized shoes with all the proper detail. Shadow is ok on the whole, his spikes have the right contour, and you can see his more difficult markings like the red eye edges & leg edge markings. The box sets the shoes up to be hidden though...
All the 12 inch dolls are in the same pixel-edge open air cardboard 'chair seat' package. Knowing Tomy that if their small doll was around 20 dollars in Target these would have to be closer to 40 or 50 because everything Tomy ran high on price.
Fan turn-arounds for either doll are welcome, as is information on price or where they showed up.
These are the box backs for the above 2 12 inch Tomy plushes. The little blocks there are a paragraph of introduction about the character, but the text is so small you can't read it. (It is in lots of languages) The back also features a CG character portrait in a blue swirl pattern. The pixel piercework actually looks really nice when combined with this type of design.
