    Sonic Laughing (confusing) bow tie
    Here's a rather confusing and not-very-attractive tie. The stock-art laughing Sonic is closing his pupil (!) they didn't realize he has eyelids, back in the day; and Tails and Eggman look on from portraits in the background. Robotnik is either angry facing foreward, or angry in profile. Tails is either…

Eggman was really great! Toy Island's Eggman is a super likeness. The face, the pose, the suit, everything they got right. But WHY him and no one else?

Profile photo for Eggman Figure Ki-Ki or Coconuts monkey, complete with PVC bomb! This guy has 6 points of articulation, making it like getting a FREE figure! What a great idea to include! SUCH a shame they removed him for the re-release.

His face is good too, with the mustache made out of bendable rubber type plastic so it wouldn't break off. His articulation is just ok, while his underside is rather squared off/polygonal for whatever reason.

He's EASILY the best one on this line. Especially when compared with the job they did on the hero-side cast. Perhaps they are just better at sculpting humans...
As a result, this figure has become somewhat rare in 2009. It was not included on as many re-releases as the hero-side, and the Kiki bonus items were taken away quite quickly.

Toy Island re-used this figure line quite a bit, however Eggman was dropped, likely after the first run of the new 'Sonic X packaged' figures. Here, you can see they stripped away all accessories except for 1 chaos emerald, and switched the packing to a simple close-bubble style.

These packages here are the ORIGINAL release packages for this line. They appeared soon after Sonic Adventure 1 in the USA. As you can see, the original release was also the best release, with each figure having 2 chaos emeralds, 2 rings (for their magnetic feet) and at least 1 accessory. Sonic has his magnetic snow board, and Eggman (Notice the package is labeled Dr. Robotnik because they didn't know to change it over yet) has Kiki the robot monkey (seen above) as well as a PVC bomb for Kiki to throw. These original package figures are pricey in 2011.

Most of Kiki the monkey robot don't have the area under the face (seen here) painted. It generally stops at the front edge, making this one a superior variant.
