It's the blue blur's 30th anniversary this year and Sega has a stack of games and merchandise lined up for release.
In addition to all of these products, a Funko Pop version of classic Sonic from Sonic the Hedgehog 2 has been revealed. It's a GameStop and EB Games exclusive, and pre-orders are now live for $14.99 USD.
As you can see, it's based on the western box art design of Sonic the Hedgehog 2:
If Funko Pops aren't your thing, why not take a look at all the other merchandise over on the Sonic 30th website. There are t-shirts, the Sonic encyclopedia, King Ice Sonic chains and more.
Funko Pop has also revealed a number of other video game figures including a Diamond Glitter Pikachu Waving. Will you be adding this Sonic Funko Pop to your collection? Leave a comment down below.

Obligatory lifeless eyes comments incoming
This is one of those rare instances where the eyes actually work. I might get this.
@SuperDan64 lol, I just came here to post that the eyes ruin it. I mean the eyes look particularly dead and creepy on this one, you must admit.
Give him a mohawk, you cowards.
It's even creepier than a normal Funko, since behind the Funked Up Sonic, you can see normal Tails and normal Robotnik...
Sonic on speed!
That cover brings back so many memories, mainly the Christmas morning I got my Genesis so many years ago.
I wonder how this will be disturbed in the EU?
Funko aka plastic trash!
Sorry, but this looks ugly as hell.
Why would anyone wish this done to one of their favorite characters?
@Scrubicius
I don't think it'll be any less disturbed than the US version, anyway.
Classic Sonic deserves better than this.
INB4 hating something because its popular gang shows up
I believe Funko Pops are a lazy gift to give to someone. Maybe someone's first or second Funko Pop is alright but after that I say they're a lazy way out to give to someone as a gift. They make these things for virtually everything (games, tv shows, movies, music, etc.) so there's always one if you're a fan of something. Take my girlfriend's dad for example. His freaking home desk is drowning in Funko Pops from a wide variety of categories. The guy is a fan of lot's of tv shows, movies, and music so for years every Father's Day, birthday and Christmas he was given at least 1 or 2 more. After witnessing years of this I eventually stepped in and told my girl to stop the Funko Pop gifts and put effort into getting him a decent gift.
Last year I received one from her parents as part of my Christmas gift (Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Marc Andre Fleury). Afterwards privately with my girlfriend I informed her to make sure this will be my last Funko Pop to receive from anyone (including her). LOL I don't want to be drowning in these things just because I'm a fan of whatever. Anybody else feel the same or is it just me and I'm a picky Grinch?
@Ganner I don’t think it’s just you, but I’m definitely the opposite. I love the fact that they have them for everything I enjoy, and I see them as a great way to display all of the favorite franchises. I can understand why others don’t like them though, the style is kind of an acquired taste and they take up a ton of space if you really start to get into them.
Now you're playing with SANIC!
one of those rare times when the funko pop isn't the oddest looking representation of a character from an official source...

Actually terrifying. Looks like he's just witnessed a horrifying accident occur right before his eyes and is still trying to process it.
It's like you prefer the two white eyes on a pop, not the lifeless eyes of the new Sonic.
@YoshiAngemon Both look horrible anyway...
@MasterJay I totally understand what you're saying. I've always enjoyed having a variety of ways to represent franchises that I like. However as I said if only you could see this poor guy's desk. He has so many Funko Pops to the point that he's even been leaving some in their boxes so he can stack them on top of each other. He does look happy when he gets them as gifts but he's also the passive type so I'm not confident he'd say anything. After witnessing years of Father's Day, Birthday and Christmases of him getting them consistently I felt I should have his back and step up to say something. I mean after years of it I'm sure he just expects to receive them either from characters of a movie he likes, a TV show, sports team, etc. Again maybe its just me but I felt I just had to say something to make my girlfriend and her brother to stop relying on them and put effort into more meaningful gifts for each occasion. That's why when I received my first one I made a point to say I'm good from here on out. I'm passionate about a lot of things like movie franchises, rock & metal music, etc. but I don't want to end up with a desk/personal space full of them like her dad.
Looks pretty cool, I like how they designed the box.
@Ganner 1,000% agree!!! To each their own and if people like them they like them, but I don’t quite understand the huge level of success that these have seen.
😂😂😂 Doz eyes doh! Piercing my soul, goodness! Stoner Sonic inbound fo real.
@Lord Actually they are vinyl.
Sonic looks like he's seen things
Well, at least the box looks cool...
@LinktotheFuture yes but still a polymer made from crude oil. 👍
@Ganner if someone acted like this after I got them a gift, even a crappy vinyl figure, I wouldn't want to get them any more gifts, period. Gifts aren't for you to decide how much effort went into them. They're literally gifts.
