As much as I like these figures it just sucks Jakks distribution is so bad, most of these can't even be ordered online and are rarely seen in stores. The scalpers don't help either.
i'm so glad people are finally talking about how amazing the mecha sonic figure really is. i never really cared much for the classic characters or mecha sonic but it is absolutely my favorite figure so easily
I think Egg Robo is one of the best figures in the line honestly, the articulation in the arms & legs are really great and allow him to be a really fun figure to pose, I do agree with how he can’t really hold his gun up well because of the looseness tho
Just walked like 2 hours with my girlfriend today so we could get to a walmart that had a Rouge figure, she is really really hard to find, I'd put her up there with Omega and Mephiles when it comes to rarity, they did not stock them well enough!
As far as figure collecting goes, i've always just collected transformers and stuck to that, but this videos really has me wanting to branch out into these at some point, great video its a good starting point for me to decide what im gonna nab first (its probably gonna be silver)
I’m pretty sure Heavy King, Heavy Gunner, Eggrobo, and Mecha Sonic are Classic only characters Ik Eggrobo had modern packaging but that was just an error and was later fixed when it’s 2.5” figure dropped
I love the infinite figure because the only way I can get him to stand is put him upside down LOL his top hair makes him balance perfectly it’s so funny
I want those Sonic Adventure upgrades SO badly, they look so amazing! It's taken 20 waves of figures just to get Soap Shoe Sonic, why haven't we got SA1 or SA2 official upgrades for these figures yet?
My eggman has a busted knee joint too but mine wobbles the entire leg, tried to contact Jakks and they wanted me to send him in offering no replacement figure. He only stands and has never been played with so I'm not happy about that. Not only does Eggman have that issue though, all these figures in general seem to have really bad knee joints, I had to 3D print stands just to get some of mine standing for display. They also seriously need to stock better or maybe just do quarterly shipments with preorders for people, scalpers are out of control. And also rerelease figures, I was lucky enough to grab a Super Shadow for $80 I think a year ago on eBay but woof that was hard to justify. He isn't even coloured right imo. Also still haven't found Charmy and $120 is outrageous, that's how much I saw the last one going for on eBay. Still haven't found Jet or Neo either, but other than those I have every character from the modern themed packaging line. I also saw your super hedgehog standee on thingiverse, been FDM 3D printing about 6 months now so really considering resin. Mephiles deserved that S rank, he's my favorite character ever and I remember just a few years ago wishing so badly for a figure of him, I was considering commissioning someone to make him custom. He's just a perfect figure. On another note, I think they should make the emeralds scale a little better with the hands of the figures, I'd like to pose them creating a chaos control portal from 06 and photograph it sorta like you do.
Maybe a good category for your consideration could have been scale? Like, how good do the characters look next to each other based on how they should be in the games? I feel like it would be worth bringing up since some characters like Amy and Heavy Gunner are too big and others like Eggman or Mecha Sonic are way too small. heh, I have SUCH a personal history with Infinite, I almost forget about his original tail and how it makes it nearly impossible for him to stand up straight, since I simply made a new one for him based on his game model in a new pose that allows him to properly tripod. I know this is your list and all, but don't the Hard Boiled Heavies live in the "classic" aesthetic rather than modern? Or are you defining "modern" as recent since the game they're from is only a few years old? Mecha Sonic is DEFINITELY a classic character too... I've also been musing about customizing Neo Metal Sonic to have a cloth cape instead of his original plastic one, which would allow his poseability to work better, I even managed to get my hands on a spare one so I can keep one in stock condition, but I haven't pulled the trigger on it yet Oh god those weird colored Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles figures, TO THIS DAY I think it was an attempt at a conspiracy on Jakks' part to make that wave sell poorly since it was the one that debuted Amy, and they could use those poor sales as an excuse to not make more female characters in the future...and even at THAT they failed because we've since got nearly all of the major female characters since then, I'm pretty sure Wave is the only notable one they haven't made yet (Sage and Trip were created after the line started so I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt.)
@@wakeangel2001 yup, a lot of mistakes were made not knowing which were classic :p That's a great idea for the scale thing, thanks for the idea! (I assume you were offering the idea to me) If so I may do just that. Especially since I have some big scale characters coming up like squid and Black Doom. It would be really topical. Hoovalou just posted on our discord a cloth caped neo metal. It would certainly increase the poseability.
I love Jakks, I started collecting during the Jazwares days and I’ve never cared for the Tomy line because it just sucks to be honest. Jazwares was my favorite until Jakks started doing tons of cool characters and characters we never even got as figures before but my one problem with Jakks is how they do the robots and it can be summed up in 5 words. They don’t use metallic paint. Even the Jakks Gold line doesn’t go all in and still leaves out parts that should be metallic.
Even though I do love metal sonic and he is my favorite sonic character. I do agree the normal, metallic version and 3.0 figures are not good. Idk what Jakks was trying to with that arm but whatever they tried to do didn’t work well. I do think the figures look good but of course the articulation is trash and I hate to say that because like I said before metal sonic is my favorite sonic character.
Oops my bad I forgot it said modern characters another thing I appreciate that you are one of those youtubers who actually pay attention to their comments and hearts them we need more people like you
@@steakosaurusrexWhy did you include a bunch of other classic characters in here then like the Mania Heavies? The normal Egg Robo is fair enough because they're in both but the Heavy ones are classic characters.
@@BuckarooBanzai84 definitely looking, but Charmy is 2.5 inch. I have a lot of 2.5 to catch up on but if I ever collect them all I'll do a tier list on them as well
is it not his video? he’s allowed to rank the figures how he want. “this video is a huge pass” you already watched, and decided to comment so you’re just spewing bs

And they only care about America

Imagine getting the heavy king then transform it into the phantom king from sonic mania
I have heavy king but his leg was broken out of the box and jakks customer service was basically like "we can get you a replacement sonic"
As far as figure collecting goes, i've always just collected transformers and stuck to that, but this videos really has me wanting to branch out into these at some point, great video its a good starting point for me to decide what im gonna nab first (its probably gonna be silver)
@@TheRealAdventureTimeMan nice! Have you seen the recent transformers sonic crossover figures announcement?
I’m pretty sure Heavy King, Heavy Gunner, Eggrobo, and Mecha Sonic are Classic only characters
Ik Eggrobo had modern packaging but that was just an error and was later fixed when it’s 2.5” figure dropped
@@roco1998 ah yeah, whoops
Egg Robo is in Gens and Frontiers too actually
Good takes!

Is metal sonic arm able to move (with a joint) ?
Yo! Nice tier list! You should do one for Jazwares!
@@FlyingScotsmanStudios that'd be cool, but to really review them like this I'd need to either buy them or borrow from someone
I want those Sonic Adventure upgrades SO badly, they look so amazing! It's taken 20 waves of figures just to get Soap Shoe Sonic, why haven't we got SA1 or SA2 official upgrades for these figures yet?
Hopefully soon!
Hoping someday we get updated figures with the new movie articulations

mecha sonic was my first figure so it's awesome to see him in S! (also sorry for commenting twice)
@LucasDoesScratch no problem, comment as much as you want :) it helps the video do better!

@@steakosaurusrex By all means, in fact I just might do a tier list of my own
I’m guessing you never saw the Jakks Gold Metal Sonic with actual metallic paint, still not a GREAT figure, but the best version of it imo
@@meta13gaming oo interesting I'll have to look that up

Lol I've ordered ALOT of these to come for Christmas
Same especially the sonic movie 3 figs!!
my thoughts during super sonic:
"hes gonna say a swear hes gonna say a swear"
"oh"
@LucasDoesScratch lol I knew going into this that at least one of these combinations would end up that way
Fun fact: Mecha sonic mk1 is inspired by the showa version of MechaGodzilla
I love chaos I would put her at s to
Even though I do love metal sonic and he is my favorite sonic character. I do agree the normal, metallic version and 3.0 figures are not good. Idk what Jakks was trying to with that arm but whatever they tried to do didn’t work well.

Post a link to the tier list
@@frost207 I'm on mobile right now and will be out at rehearsal for the next few hours. I'll try to remember to send after

You forgot my favorite! 4 inch classic eggman!!!!

As someone who's used rouge for two different customs, yeah all the rouges are that crappy.
So, you couldn't get a hold of Charmy either, huh? =\
@@BuckarooBanzai84 definitely looking, but Charmy is 2.5 inch. I have a lot of 2.5 to catch up on but if I ever collect them all I'll do a tier list on them as well
@@steakosaurusrex That'll be fun too! =)
Putting vector to C is absolutely terrible. the list just started and its already bad
And he even put Infinite to B... yeah this video is a huge pass
@@rakeguy7703 what would you have ranked them?
