Toy Island also did a set of bendies. These came packaged in sets of 4, or you could get them carded individually. There were 6 figures, but they were packed in 4s, so you'd end up with doubles. The individual carded figures were MUCH harder to get. Big and Eggman are the least common of this set. These also came with clear plastic Chaos Emeralds, when bought in a pack. These are still numerous, so you should be able to bid on a set at a decent price.
The only ones not in the photos are bendy Eggman and bendy Shadow. (coming soon) But look at the photo above...Bendy E102! Don't have him? Don't worry, he was never released...

Here is bendy Big the Cat.
If you didn't get him individually (such as on a Top Heavy Clothing Shirt) you had to re-buy the Bendy 4-Pak to get him, along with Eggman. Because Big and Eggman weren't that popular of characters, many people didn't want to be forced to buy doubles of figures they already had just to get a hold of these guys. Interestingly, this could lead to a bit of scarcity on them in the future.
Bendy Big, being...big...isn't that bendable. Obviously the body won't do anything, so his arms are about the only bit you can pose. You can, however, turn his feet so his shoes point foreward instead of sideways, as in his package.
E-102! But he's never been released
The bendies of Toy Island were re-released. This time, there is a secret GOLD Sonic bendy. Available at KB Toy? The 4-Pak is exactly the same, but instead of "Sonic Adventure" it says "Sonic X". Sonic T-Shirts can come with Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, or Eggman Individual-Bendys. Where are Amy & Big? They have not been sighted with any of the shirts, for some reason.
This is the Re-Release under the new Sonic X label for these bendies. They're the same, just the box has changed. These come with T Shirts sometimes, or can be found in KB Toy Stores.
The golden bendy only comes inside the Bendy 4-Paks. These are not widely available, so Ebay may be your best bet, but watch the price on these...it can be steep just to get this bendy re-paint.

This is the back of the original bendy 4-pak. (SA one) The back shows figures from both sets, revealing the fact that you'll need to buy Sonic & Tails twice to get all the bendies. Not a whole lot changed when it switched to Sonic X on the back. The Golden bendy also appeared on the newer box backs.

Now they're throwing in a Shadow...and the only way to get him? Buy everyone else again. This time though, there's 5 bendies instead of just 4...good news if you don't own them yet! The Shadow is (thankfully) NOT a repaint of Sonic, but a real, individual bendy. (see his fists?) This pack is not common...Maybe KB Toy, but Ebay is a better bet.
Shadow Bendy is shown next to 'gum holding figure' Sonic for size comparison.

Notice something odd about this individual-card Kncukles bendable? If you look in the corner, he's clearly on Eggman's Card. This is the older (Sonic Adventure 1 Release) by Toy Island of these bendies. Each one should have the SA1 art of the matching character in the corner--but this one does not. This error may cause the figure to be worth somewhat more than normal because the mistake didn't affect the figure itself, but instead just makes it rare. This was attempted for sale at $1,000 usd, but of course, it's just a bendy on the wrong card so it will never sell at such a rate.

This bendy Eggman was either easy or hard to get. Hard because he was LISTED on the bendy 4-pak but didn't come in them often. Easy because he was on LOADS of the Sonic shirts (at Sears, Kohls etc) as an extra bonus item (single carded) if you bought the shirt. Supposedly he was the most common one to be found with a shirt. He's not all that common any more though, and is actually pretty bendable/posable with his long arms and legs. Hold onto this bendy if you have it!
Notice something strange about this bendy 5 pak box? It's the SonicX one sure...but look at Shadow. He's not a bendy at all! They've actually stolen one of their own Shadow Action Figure photos (he's from the MegaBot Line) and thrown it on there instead of actual Bendy Shadow. You can see bendy Shadow above, and he doesn't look at all the same.

Here's the box back you would see if you got one of the "golden Sonic" bendy packs. It shows all 5, with the actual golden bendy photo/duplicate Sonic. Interestingly, they re-colored the big Sonic art on the back to be all yellow. Even the white parts are yellowed, and so are his eyes. The pack was considered a bit of a nuisance because you'd of already bought all the characters twice before (once to get them, again to get Shadow, now a 3rd for Golden Sonic)

Little bendy Shadow (seen in the bendy packs above) was also apparently released (with shirts? on shelves?) as a single card bendy, as shown here. As Toy Island wound down the production of these small bendies, some were carded like this and packed with Top Heavy shirts found in Sears.
GENERAL BENDY NOTE
Avoid wetting any bendable figure. The rubber/plastic often has holes/mold points in it, & the interior wires are iron or steel and they'll rust through as there's no way to dry the wires once wetted. Once rusted, the bendy will break internally & can't be fixed.
This bendy box has a mistake inside...can you spot it? It's blue-arms Sonic! Little paint errors like overspray or a missed detail on a shoe bottom could happen with this set, but less common is a complete miss, where his arms are totally unpainted like this. There are a few blue-arm-Sonic arts around, especially in Australia. However this is just a factory error that's interesting to see.

Here is the single-card version of Sonic X branded Bendy Eggman. This may have been the only way to get him. He may have been sold with a shirt, or individually. As you can see, the box back has a good photo so you know which other figures they had were single-carded at the same time. He has good detail for a bendy, and seems mostly proportional. This one isn't so easy to find.
