This is possibly THE first Sonic plush released in the UK. It was made in 1991, by Tomy. You can see that this is actually a bit better than the one that came after (seen above, 1991-2) While it is still very stubby, the face is smoother and more refined looking. It also has an opposite version of the tag and hands (what's on the left switches to the right) The mouth is just a line, it didn't have that edge piece yet. It is interesting to see that their first effort really was a nice one.
