Winter 2015 brings the first (unannounced) figure re-release with the so-called "Platinum Series" figures you see here. These are the usual Tomy small line Sonic & Knuckles, but all their paint has been switched to shiny/hi-spec/metallic colors.
See the 'punching Sonic' sticker there on the edge of each box? It says "Platinum Series" around the edge to mark these as different. It has nothing to do with the show, but the metallic glossy paint is a fun effect and doesn't make the figures look bad/worse. It also does not appear to change their price.
