Man I really miss my jazwares figures, my parents threw all of mine away when I was 13 truly one of the most sad moments I’ve ever experienced in my life but I had so many memories with them and that is something I will never forget

I saw the new toy line in my local Walmart and I got excited. I then got yelled at by an employee for running lol. I was able to get my hands on the Mecha Sonic figure. Never taking it out of the packaging.

These will always be my favorite series of videos you've done,super well made and a joy to watch

I’m actually super nostalgic for the sonic and shadow jazwares plushies. I was given them in first grade by my grandma about a week before she had a stroke. Fortunately she survived, but I always carried around the two plushies with me every time we visited her at the hospital for the next few months.

This reminds me of a PatMac video, the intro even shows the thumbnail for the video just like how PatMac does in his intros. The editing style does too, the fading, the music starting then a few seconds later talking starts, sometimes we switch to camera too

1:02:58 I'm always a sonic fan, but jazwares made me appreciate the series even more. Thank you Jazwares for the memories.😭👍❤

I grew up with the Jazwares line of Sonic Figures and this may be nostalgia talking but they have been my favorite of all of the toy lines, more specifically the Generations figures and the Free Riders figures, honestly those were some good times, before before the Sonic Boom games, Sonic Lost World, and finally Sonic Forces

Looking at it now, how did Jazwares not make a single Rouge or Cream figure in their entire run 💀

Ayeeee cant wait to watch this in full! This is gonna bring back mad memories from my old Sonic toys, not just the new ones.

This is a good video! In all of the videos you go into extreme detail. Keep up the good work! :)

One thing to note about the megabot figures from Toy Island, they had two releases which had different sculpts. There were various ‘changes’ to the characters most notably Shadow got a new head sculpt, Amy got a new head sculpt, Knuckles was made much larger etc etc- you can find pictures of the variants online. Not sure which ones are considered to be more sought after but it’s cool seeing them! I had both waves as a kid, however I only currently have the tiny knuckles left from the original wave.

I would like to see the Black Knight toyline return in a near future.

While waiting for the next official Sonic the Hedgehog movie, I guess I’ll have to watch this Hour 30 Minute Sonic Movie in the meantime.

Imo Jakks toys feel more like collectables than actual toys, when Jazzwares did both well

50:48 BROOOOO THAT WAS AWESOME I miss the wall of sonic stuff at Toys “R” Us from Jazwares, all the cool stuff they made and the figures based off of the history of sonic, it was the coolest thing ever

Sonic The Hedgehog Merchandise?! COOL! 😁👍

In 2004 my brother used to have a Sonic and Knuckles figures but now I Still Have it!!

33:54 There I am, Gary! There I am! (I'm flattered to see my Sonic figures photo in your video. lol)

🤩🤩this reminds me of patmac

For a second I thought this was a PatMac video especially since he started uploading again.

My brother and I had the Resaurus Sonic and Crash Bandicoot toys as kids back in 98. They were awesome, but Resaurus' toys were notorious for breaking or falling apart, so our mom often had to either fix them with superglue or replace them.

Recently, I found this box and when I opened it, it literally had the Tomy figures of Boom Sonic, Boom Tails and Boom Knuckles and I didn’t even know I had it!

I think it’s worth mentioning that the “Metal Force” figures were just repainted “Space Fighters” figures with less accessories and no helmets.

While growing up in Mexico Sonic merchandise never came to my local superstores (specially since I lived in a small town in the woods) so now that I’m in college I finally bought my first Sonic toy and I LOVE IT Jakks is just amazing !!!

As a transformers collector it was fun to see this and I saw some things we have in common like not liking human characters or having lazy repaints or repackages in our toylines xD

26:21 - And now, Jakks released Rouge (still no Cream yet). This aged well.

Been waiting for this, lets go!

I use to watch this vídeo in one sitting, i never knew It was a hour,thanks for the Memories!

Sweet I love collecting sonic figures tbh jaks pacific is my favorite I love the accuracy of there figures

I remember getting classic and modern Sonic and Tails 3 inch sets, and all broke. All that remains in my collection is the 5 inch modern and classic Sonics, and the super forms. Thanks for showing off the different packaging, because for years I always thought my super duo of Sonics was a bootleg because of the different packaging it had.

1:09 Sonic is possessed by a Hatterene!

I still got my Shadow and Tails 3.75 jazwares figs. They are never ever ever leaving me

This definitely help me as I want to start my own collection of things I like like our little blue Hedgehog. I didn't realize there's that many companies made toys

I used to have a Jazwares Sonic Free Riders Tails figure and I loved it. One day, I couldn’t find it anywhere in my house. Now I have to pay over $100 for a new one? Not just that, but almost any brand new, in-box Jazwares figure. Everyone says it’s “rare” or “limited edition” meanwhile I saw them almost all the time, until they were discontinued. Don’t be like me, when you have a feeling something is going to go up in price for no reason, just buy it for cheap while you can!!!

THIS VID IS GONNA BE SO GOOD

1:21:05 I found this moment really cute and adorable, mostly because I can relate to you!!

Good great awesome outstanding amazing video my dude, Sonic merchandise is a very interesting topic ngl

I really love every video of yours man you are really the best

Jazzwares seemed like a wonderful time for you guys born in the 2000's, I'm sorry this happened to you guys, personally I became a major sonic fan in 2021 so I grew up loving Jakks. They have such good printing, and more obscure figures. I love jakks and I bet jazz was super cool

Seeing those jazwares figures makes me highly regret giving them away a few years ago

"...also the last cream, rouge and chris figures" that didnt age well

1:02:54 I have never seen a sonic toy by jazwares in person, but I still nearly cried at this part.

This is a great Video and this is a awesome Sonic Toyline and I hope The World of Sonic The Hedgehog Toys and Games will continue for The Future!🎮🤩🥰🧸♥️🦔💙⭐

Your collection is so sick man 🔥🔥🔥 epic stuff. I wish I could get at least one of those.

Watching this puts a smile on my face.

48:56, there was a time where I was little, and I went to Walmart with my mom, she was holding my hand, and I turned my head to the right, and saw the 3 inch Super pack, I was amazed by it, but I only got a short glimpse of it before I had to move along with my mom, and I never saw again, EVER!!, man, it would be awesome to have that super pack in my now growing Sonic collection!

love the sonic adventure stuff you got

I feel that energy when SpeedSonic was talking about Jazewares demise… It was such an amazing toy line and just to be left to nothing was truly sad… Wish I could’ve bought, one more 3 inch figure… One final time…

Awesome collection man

Ohh my gosh the bendy figures! I remember a kid at my school having them and it blew my mind to see Sonic having toys. I was super jealous.

When I was younger I had a bunch of the jazzwares sonic figures, I can’t remember exactly what happened to them, but I still have the chaos crystals and it is nostalgic to think about

I just want to make you know, you won't get a single comment about the quality of the video until 1 hour, 27 minutes and 28 seconds had passed.

OMG HOLY CRAP MAN!!!

Back in the 90's Classic Sonic was actually darker blue like Modern Sonic but in 2011, they had to make Classic Sonic lighter because they wanted to distinguish the two Sonics

Wow. Very cool!

Personally I feel that Jakks is doing a pretty decent job carrying on the Sonic toyline legacy Jazwares left behind. The other companies did try, but Jakks is the one that has really taken up the torch.

Wow nice

i actually own a jazwares super poser that sadly both of his down elbow's fell out and my dad ha to glue it, he's a bit old n' floppy but he holds a special place in my heart

Jakks Toys are great for The Sonic Toyline and I love Jakks for making Sonic Toys for the upcoming Years!🤩🧸♥️🦔😃👍😍

Tomy was my first sonic the hedgehog figure and Jakks Pacific figure

Honestly the jazzwears figures are probably the least durable as a kid I remember getting the super 3 pack and I tried to bend my Sonics knees to sit him at the edge of my tv stand and it broke. And you might say “well your a kid you where probably really rough” nah I gently bent the knee and snap. I cried and the next day we went back to the store and got a refund and me being a idiot I got the same thing so now I had 14 chaos emeralds the normal and miscolors a broken sonic silver and shadow and now new ones And they all broke again slowly as time went by and every time a piece broke I’d ask my mom to superglue it and went back to playing So the jazzwear figures and definitely the least…… toy? Of all the toy lines And you might say “well there not toys there figures and collectibles” And I’d say your wrong! There are toys ment for kids and if a kid can’t play with them without them breaking then why are you making toys? I wasn’t even rough with my toys I played with them all around the house on adventures and outside and if I can’t do that if kids can’t do that then you failed as a toy company I also had their Minecraft figures and those broke just as easy

i used to own a sonic plush, but like it was forced into his ball mode and i remember 9 year old me just throwing him at my siblings with full force like a spin dash

Cool video

I remember having about six of the jazwares figures one shadow that came with his motorcycle, knuckles and espio, and the super sonic, shadow and silver three pack. Any I'm now trying to get the jakks version of the characters and a handful of others when I'm able.

I was watching this video when the Sonic figures with space outfits appeared and I was, like, "Wait... I've seen an ad for those on FB Marketplace. They're actual licensed Sonic figures?!"

Cool!.

Thank you for the message I liked the video too! 😁

i wish you mentioned the 90s tomy figures for sonic

Jazwares was good when I was 4

I love how Resaurus' cancelled series 3 being teased at a toy fair actually ended up leaking Rouge and Shadow before they were intended to be debuted lol

Finally speed super Sonic is posting Sonic toys again 😩

Honorable mention to the Sonic Amiibo, which I have yet to get my hands on.

can i just say i really like the classic sonic toys and what tomy and jasweres did with them.

Oh Jazzwares I miss my old figures Sonic, Super Sonic, Shadow, Knuckles, Espeo, Vector, Silver, Amy and I think more

20:20 i have the resculted sonic head but the voice lines are a bit glitchy, "aw yea this is happening" sounds fine but for line 2 mines says " brbrbrbrbr kets go!"

Hey, Ricardo, you should continue your sonic Merch retrospective series with plush lines. Such as maybe sanei, early ge, ect

Those knee joints messed with me. Can't unsee em.

25:46 CHRIS

25:45 had me burst out laughing XD

8:07 I want this sonic figure for 2 YEARS, and this random kid is breaking them and fixing the with freaking STICKY TAPE!

I remember being a kid and wanting the super 3 pack thing so bad but I never was able to get it.

It’s crazy to think I lost almost the ENTIRE jazwares toy line when my house burned, I was always at toys r us getting new stuff

I actually have the Sonic X talking figure, except it has two voice lines, both from what sounds like Jason Griffith and Roger Craig Smith?

When I was young I found a Joyride Sonic figure from Sonic Adventure 2: Battle at some small shop in a VERY small beautiful town in B.C. Canada while on a family trip across the border. My parents at the time were poor orchard workers with little English speaking skills and did not have money to be buying expensive toys, a lot of my toys were cheap finds from yard sales back then. So I remember being ready to BEG my parents to buy it for me as soon as I saw it, even the packaging itself looked so fancy and expensive compared to any toy I've ever owned at the time. I was positive that their answer was gonna be a hard "NO" but I just had to take the chance and ask anyways. I'm assuming it was at a pretty cheap price because to my surprise my mom said yes and bought it for me without saying anything about the price tag at all, which was pretty rare for her to do as they could barely ever afford shit at the time. I loved that figure so much growing up and it went with me on many trips across the country. Just too many fun innocent memories with it. I still think it is by far one of the best/most accurate figure variants of Sonic there is and I was surprised to see how rare they are and how much cash they go for. Recently I found mine again while going through some of my old stuff that I have stored at one of our properties. I now have it on display at home and am looking to collect the complete Resaurus set someday. Starting with Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails this week. Very well made video!

I had lost my jazwares metal sonic a few years back when I was 12 but now that I'm 21 I found the exact one from my childhood on ebay

I have 2 jazwares figures, at least i think they're jazwares. They have the jazwares designs but Sonic's shoe came off and his right hand was upside down and Shadow has two left hands

Had the resaurus toys when they came out in the uk but maan they were so weak, like I got knuckles out the box and off came his head and tails body came apart at the slot holes , think there's a reason they went bust lol , happened with the crash figures too

1:25:47 JAKKS PACIFIC!!!!

Omg this made me cry but I agree and I wish they can do a remake on the good plushies and action figures cuz that would be cool and this was sad

Good god that toy island eggman looks terrifying

Very cool video if only there was a way to get affordable Jazzwares figures these days

My snack and orange juice didn't last the whole vid... thanks

Sonic is my favorite video game series.

Let's goooooooo

Ahh yes sonic x the second and last sonic anime to come around. Sonic x is a anime and don't forget the sonic ova

I loved the 3 inch jazwares sonic but they would always get loose.

Now that Jakks has made a Rouge figure and broken the curse, a Chris figure is *surely* going to happen. It's *right* around the corner. It's *GOTTA* happen.

The only sonic toy I had as a kid was 1 sonic toy from tomy or whatever it's called ;-; but at least I had a Mario toy with Bowser's airship: D

1:13 Only legends know what that is referenced from lol
