Maker of high-end collectibles First 4 Figures has again gone above and beyond creating its latest piece to celebrate Sonic the Hedgehog's 25th Anniversary. Partnering with Sega to celebrate the occasion, the figure returns to Sonic's original outing on the Genesis. Sprinting across Green Hill Zone and passing the goal plate (which even spins!) to complete the level, Sonic celebrates in style holding up his trademark pose.
As always there will a regular version and exclusive version with the latter's speed 'blur' lighting up along with the goal plates spinning in the identical direction to replicate Sonic dashing past. The exclusive will also come with 4 interchangeable face plates - 2 each of Sonic and Dr. Robotink.
The dimensions for the diorama come in at 33cm high x 40cm wide x 22cm depth and weighs 4.7 kg. Both the regular and exclusive are priced as $384.99 (£298.56 approx) with pre-orders going live on 6th June.
You can watch the making of video with First 4 Figures owner Alex Davis below:
Live stream start:
6th June - 7:00am (California), 10:00am (New York),

The pre-order launch will then begin 1 hour later.
This is not the first statue in the Sonic series to come from First 4 Figures with Modern Sonic, Classic Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Knuckles and more all getting the same treatment, with Silver the Hedgehog announced for later this year.
Would you be interested in purchasing this figure?

Yawn....I'm tired of all these Link and Sonic merchandise and variations....when there are so many other characters from the Mario universe wink wink, who barely have any SEE MY PROFILE PIC!
I love to see the videos about how these figures are made and to see all the hard work that was put into the figures, but my god these things are expensive
Looks nice
If only I had that sort of spear change.
This is one good looking statue, especially the grass and Sonic's feet. If I had money to throw around and liked Sonic, I'd buy one.
@memoryman3 Oh yeah, I agree there definitely needs to be more King Boo stuff out there, eh? (That must be what the crown in your icon means!)
I don't need it. I don't need it.
I definitely don't need it.
.....
I NEEEEEEDDDDD ITTTTTTT
Why are all these statues so expensive?
Weekend Advertising, don't you just love it, NOT. Pathetic price, they need to get in the real world
Very nice figure!!, but, "First 4 Figures" and its prices +$300?;
well, I "First 4 Switch", and here it's price +$400..., oh well...
Me thinks this is now the best 3D Sonic.........
I wouldnt want that for free. It's totally tacky. Looks like its a homemade monstrocity you'd pass up at the lawn sale. Looks like somebody repurposed a green rug on top of the arm of an old couch, added a metal sign and tacked on a plastic sonic mold.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE These figurines are made with only the finest Peruvian plastic which is then forged with dragon fire and sculpted by Himalayan monks. The paint is from Home Depot though.
Nice, but not my favorite. The one of Sonic and Tails in the Tornado, though, now that's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Supply and demand.
Love this! Looks so awesome!!!
@memoryman3 Maybe because you are like... the only one with a fetish of Daisy? Seriously, it's like you have an unhealthy obsession. Should probably get that checked out.
@memoryman3 we got a Dark Bowser and Dark Donkey Kong amiibo/skylander maybe we can get a Dark Peach some day
That looks awesome! Too bad I'll never be able to afford it... :/
Gosh...
Calculating from its size, its density is approximate 16.18 gram/cm3.
ρ= m/v = 4700 gram/ 33 x 40 x 22 cm3 = 16.18 gr/cm3
Silver the hedgehog later this year? Tempting. He was always one of my favorite Sonic characters. Problem is that if I had that kind of money, I'd be buying gear for my Switch...or I'd be buying another Switch. No statue is worth that price tag to me, sorry.
Think I'll stick with my Sonic Mania 12" statue. Screw this thing's price.
Well, if you're going to make a figure why not make it giant & affordable. Not like gamers have anything better to spend their money on.. like games.
I'm guessing they can make up for lower sales for the expensive statue by milking more profit from you.
For that price point, my 12 dollar Sonic amiibo is enough.
Has it been dipped in sacred unicorn tears?
Not a fan of this design, to be honest, seen much better from First 4 Figures.
I absolutely love this one! If I had the money or was less clumsy and likely to break it I would buy it lol
@UK-Nintendo I don't think you need to change your spear; it's not bent, and the tip is still sharp enough to rip the flesh of a wild boar.
Cool.
