Here comes another page out of the Tomy 2018 toy catalog, this time for "Figure Multi-Packs". The first one is just your average pack, with Tails, Sonic, Knuckles & Amy all together. Notice how Sticks is missing though, why are they leaving her out? A multi-pack like this is always billed as 'being good for starting out', but they make it problematic by releasing figures in pairs, or making "The only way to get this item is with this character...." forcing people to over spend & re buy and end up with duplicates. As evidenced with....
The very next set!
This set is called "Sonic is in Trouble!" multi-pack. With thi, you get the bee type badnick, the modified motobug, Sonic, Eggman & Metal Sonic. So they prove their own point about forcing duplicates because the only way to get those badnicks would be buying Sonic & Eggman over again, even though all 3 non-badnick characters have also been released singly in the past. Good for starters, not the best for collectors who want badnicks to play with too.

Page 2 is all about 2-Packs.
This showcases their upcoming double-pack figures with some show related...outfits? Recolors? The first set is Metal Sonic & "Alternative Eggman" where he gets a costume re-color to black/red/gray with the majority in black. (He's only described there as 'alternate' so it must be an episode) Then there's regular Sonic & boom-style Shadow. On the bottom are clearly sports playing themed figures with pairs for Sonic & Knuckles and Amy with Tails. Notice how their hands are both always shaped to grasp something in this set, will they have some kind of accessory to make the sports jersey & sports shoes make sense? Why does no one have any sports shorts except Amy? What episode was this from?
The outfits & color changes make some sense here, because it means you're not buying yet another 'standard Sonic' just to get Shadow. Release date & prices for the packs are pending. 

Page 3 is the "Sonic Blue Force One" vechile & figure combo pack. The Blue Force One is supposed to have 3 modes that it can transform into, to go on 'different terrains'. The only thing different about the Sonic figure that comes with it seems to be that he has some glasses as an accessory. What's the curious part?
Look at the date...it says it should have released in 2017, but as far as any data shows here at Gear, no one's ever seen the item anywhere...and the book it appeared in only showed up in 2018 so what's going on with this?

Page 4: These 2 sets are called "Figure Diorama Packs" & each one has 3 figures. But what about the 'diorama' word? Does that mean they come with some kind of scene-setting background you can keep? Are there accessories or something that sets the scene for the figures you get? Remember the definition of the word "Diorama" & it is not "multi-pack"....so why call them this? Only finding these in the box will reveal the answer.
The first set is "Villain Edition" that has yet another 'alternate version' Eggman, but now his shirt is green/yellow/white instead of the red/gray/black. Orbot & Cubot though are the same as they ever were.
The "Hero Edition" just seems to be Sonic, Sticks & Tails but wearing some kind of different "sports type" clothes with matching shoes & shirts, along with their usual Boom accessories (goggles, bandana) The outfits seem to mean they lack the odd sports tape to a degree though. But this is the 2nd figure release where they're dressed up in 'sporty clothes'...so why?
