The Sonic Totaku Figure Gets A Re-Design & New Release Date
The Totaku figure range came seemingly out of nowhere, what started with characters associated with Playstation games has slowly grown to include more third party franchises with other exclusive characters for specific systems promised in the future.
Shortly after their reveal, Think Geek began teasing that a Sonic figure would be joining the line, before it was eventually revealed at Toy Fair 2018 and had an estimated release date of around the middle of the year.
But for fans who pre-ordered the figure, there has been a long wait and silence with regards to its release. The figure has undergone numerous delays and silence with regards to its status.
But it now looks like things are happening. Twitter user Juvi Luna noticed that the official Totaku website has now updated to say that the figure will now release in September and on closer inspection it also appears to have been re-designed slightly.
After many months of delays, and no word from stores or totaku themselves, the Sonic totaku finally has a tentative release month! It also should be noted that the quality of the figure has been upgraded, along with the skin and brown of the base being lightened. @sonicstadium pic.twitter.com/EG5ktIkygy
— Juvi Luna ✨ (@DrWhovee) August 18, 2018
Compare to the images shown at Toy Fair, there the figure does indeed seem a little different.
The paint job overall does indeed seem a bit brighter in tone and the base has also had a change in colour tone.
Fingers crossed for September 2018.
