Sonic Boom figure close ups & fan photos

Tags: Sonic Boom Tomy Figure

Here's a good close up fan photo for Tomy's Boom Amy figure. She's a pretty good figure for the small size. The eyelashes are placed appropriately, her bangs are ok & the proportions are like the show. You can notice their limited articulation though, especially because she has long legs & clearly no knees. But look at her eyes:
The pupil is clearly mis-printed and well off to one side on one eye & it doesn't look right. Getting a figure's eye paint right is just about the most important paint application of all. Messing that up makes the whole thing unappealing. Her expression is good & her head shape is correct...but Tomy needs to be mindful of the paint & details.

Fan photos for Boom Knuckles reveal the sports tape details on the front & back. The back view reveals that they have fused all of his head spikes, and that his head will have no chance of turning, even a little bit with this design choice. As a figure, the odd big-body proportion the show gave him is even more obvious with his stick legs. However, you can see that the joints are well done & he's nicely balanced in the right side photo. This figure, unassisted, can hold up the Sticks & Tails figures on the arms and not flop or fall over. It makes for a fun photo & demonstration. 

 Sonic Boom figure comparisonOwned by Sonic DollzHere you can see 2 versions of Boom Sonic & the main difference is the face. You can get him with the open mouth/grin (left) or the usual line-mouth (right) But look: they changed the eyes too, the open mouth one is having definetely more of an expression. This is nice, and gives incentive to collect more than 1 of him. However, with the other sides/hands etc. you can see that it's the head that's the only different bit here.

 Sonic Boom Alternate sticks figure close upOwned by Sonic DollzHere's a closer look at "Jungle Sticks" with a fan photo turn around. She has her green 'jungle paint' accents set on her upper arms, hands, ear tips & forehead. Her shoes & top/skirt have also been re-painted to go with the theme. The paint is a little messy / scratchy looking...but it's supposed to be 'hand done' by her, so it's ok in this instance except....
One of her eyes (the left one) is mis-printed so you know they didn't mean to do it, Tomy's just not applying the paint very well. (So why pick a 'super painty' design for a variant if you know you're not good at applications? An odd choice for Tomy) It's still an ok variant figure, as it matches with the episode & there are enough differences between this & a regular Sticks figure.

 Sonic Boom Tails close upOwned by Sonic DollzThis is the 'normal' Tails Boom figure.
This one is pretty ordinary & show-looking. The goggles seem to have a good amount of detail, as does the belt/shoulder strap. The sports tape paint didn't get on the red part of the shoe & his bracelet seems fine. The tails could use to look a little more dynamic & separate. The back view it almost looks like he only has one tail. The proportions are good, so this figure holds up to Boom collectibility if you like the show.
