Jakks Pacific may have beaten you with the sculpt for the figure but your figure nailed the painting, especially the parts of Neo Metal Sonic (including the arms and legs) were painted silver.
You could see the long back spike in sonic heroes near the end of the metal madness transformation (specifically where Neo metal twirls around before his head changes). But it’s kinda hard to see and blends in with his body.
Honestly I think you beat jakks, you did a pretty amazing job on yours, albeit the spine's could be a little bit thinner, but the cloth cape/skirt is what seals it for me
i feel that the jakks one looks cleaner, because to my knowledge, you dont sand down the parts, so they look kinda rough. the custom still looks great though!
2:00 It's in the cutscenes if you squint very carefully when the heroes run up to Neo Metal you can see his big back spine in the shadows and then when he was transforming into the Metal Overlord as he's turning around you can slightly see it
i like yours better because its different and its sleeves look better. the sculpt on the jakks looks a little better but only by a bit. yours looks very good! i like its paint more!
Honestly I still think it's crazy to think we would get a sonic toy line that made figures of rouge,omega , metal sonic 3.0 and fang the sniper / nack the weasel
Hard to say. I reaaaaalllly like your custom, but I also love playing with my action figures like I was still 8 years old 😂. So I gotta ask… why not make a Frankenstein’s monster of them both? Paint that Jakk’s Neo Sonic silver, give him a clothe cape, add some of that WakeAngel charm and whala!
I checked Sonic Speed Sim (a officially licensed game) and he has the long spike in the back, so even ROBLOX has you beat That said, I think he was added to roblox after your custom was made
Just paint the white parts silver, & the official figure is perfect imo, tho I still think the face is weirdly small but that was probably necessary to fit it all together as a figure & in the packaging
