First 4 Figures is a name synonymous with collectible figurines - from Link and Epona, to Mega Man and many more, the company has kept resin distribution companies in business for years. The latest addition to the range caught our eye, meanwhile, blending a classic character with its modern design which, despite notable mis-steps, has had good moments.
It's Modern Super Sonic, following up a Classic equivalent previously released by the company. As always there are two versions up for order - a regular model that costs $224.99 and is limited to 1500 units, and an exclusive model that costs $249.99, is limited to 600 units and has LED lights under its feet to "give the appearance of Super Sonic speeding into the scene".
You can see some selective shots of the exclusive model below.
Not due for delivery until Q1 2016, this is another lovely but expensive collectible from First 4 Figures. For those of us that can't justify spending lots of money on a figurine, we can always admire the pretty pictures.
Oh, and Classic Sonic is better.*

Cool, but way too expensive to even approach being tempting.
It's kinda snazzy even though the pose seems a bit weird... but for that price they can stick it where the sun shineth not.
Edit: After checking it out, think I prefer the Classic Super Sonic figure.
Must. Resist...
How big is the market potential for a $250 Sonic figure?
@CaviarMeths - about 2100 people apparently?
Do these show up on ebay for 4 times the price too?
Wht is he stopping? It definitely looks like he's stopping.
I already bought a Sonic figure from F4F (and it was $300!!!, don't need another one.
The best super sonic was the one from the uk sonic the comic he was badass always loved when he showed up
Since when could Sonic go super saiyan?
Modern Sonic looks like ass. Atleast he doesn't have all those stupid bandages wrapped around him as in Sonic Boom.
As a designer myself I can say the illustrators who came up with these designs are clearly talentless artists who are simply saavy Photoshop and Illustrator etc junkies. IF there is one thing that annoys me about the modern age is that real talent is falling behind to the people who are simply well versed on computer programs.
Wish that was an Amiibo.

Where are the chaos emeralds? 7/10 for not being realistic.
