- Опубліковано 29 вер 2017
- With a franchise as old as Sonic, it may sometimes seem like they've done every type of merchandise possible. This is especially the case with Sonic figures. As more and more come out, it's becoming harder to make one that stands out. However, one set of Sonic figures that stands the test of time is the set of Sonic Adventure 2 figures done as part of a line by Joyride Studios in both 2002-2003. In this video, I talk about the history of these figures along with giving an in depth review on them. Do these figures deserve all the incredible praise they've received over the years? Let's find out.

Those shoes man...it's the stuff of legend
Yes dude he knows props to you wounded
Sonic:I hate the soap shoes
Mario:SOS
Prototype Sonic:time to show you who I REALLY am
Shadow:who are you
Prototype Sonic:I AM SILVER THE HEDGEHOG
Shadow:WOW
Id like to have them
True
@Nehemiah Lawrence-Garcia disagree, I consider soap sonic to be the best design for him
I have such strong memories of these figures. My best friend and I wanted the Shadow figure so badly as kids in 5th grade that we actually stopped using our lunch money to save up for it, then pooled our money to buy it online. Luckily I was the one who got to keep Shadow! I got the Sonic, Mario, and Luigi Joyride figures later that Christmas. I still have all of the figures to this day, but Shadow will always remain my favorite. Even though I took them all out of the box, for years I kept the empty boxes just because I liked the pro tips, artwork, and reviews! Thank you for making this video about my favorite line of video game toys.
Yeah I wish they could've Made A benable Action figure of Knuckles Man
Story time: There's a toy store near where I live that holds alot of clearly old toys, most of them unopened. There were these Super Monkey Ball toys, and the back of the box advertised these bendy figures. I asked the cashier if they had the Sonic figures. He said that they did at some point but they were already bought. There were unopened figures just sitting there on a store shelf probably going for like 20 bucks. I wish I had seen them earlier, I probably would've bought them up in a heart beat
The Enchiladdy I once went to Los Angeles and I found a toy store called toyzilla I found a jaswires espio figure
Shadow Pointing at an Unknown Object
he's pointing at the faker
or the *DAMN* 4th chaos emerald
I love all of you.
+tjlnintendo It's too hilarious. Now I need to get this Shadow figure and reenact these beautiful fan-made moments.
lol too bad I don't have the money for it.
I can see why they're the MOST desired figures to date and I can't blame them. A shame they didn't go beyond Sonic and Shadow, would love to see Tails, Knuckles, Eggman and Rouge, but I'm grateful they gave other SEGA games some love in figure form such as Jet Set Radio and even Crazy Taxi.
I think that Rouge was made in the Sonic X series of figurines, but it's practically impossible to buy her anywhere. I searched on Google and nothing comes up. Nuts...
I would by rouge for her boobies (=
Sure
Dimitriy Dzyuba lol
They made jet set radio?
3:59 oh hey that's my picture, you'll see that I have never opened Shadow where as the Sonic one you can see its been opened, I have kept its box but put him back in for that photo, kinda wished I'd never opened him too seeing as the rarity of them now but then saying that its a great figure to look at closer in detail and have on display, I love how the spikes are done on him and just how weighty they are as figures, feels high quality, still need to find the prototype one day. Great highly informative video, enjoyed watching.
Sonic The Comic Reviews I live your content
Sonic The Comic Reviews did you make sonic the comic
Thanks!
Nope, just a channel dedicated to it, I do know some of the creators as friends though.
Sonic The Comic Reviews If they made an animated series for Sonic the comic would you watch it?
This turned out to be an unexpected trip down memory lane! I recall seeing these on store shelves long ago. All the ones I REALLY wanted were out of my price range, but I eventually convinced my mom to buy me Ai-Ai and Gongon when they went on clearance at Walmart. I still have them, in the original box, to this day! They have a place of honor in my gaming setup.
3:53 Shadow: WHAT ARE THOSE!!! *Points Finger at Sonics Soap Shoes
R.I.P. "JoyRide" , I never knew you existed...
Man can we get an F for Joyride
Me too!
R.I.P
F
Oh no
22:06 holy shit that's my figure that i posted on deviantart. thanks a lot for using it ^_^!!!
I kinda wish modern sonic would wear soap shoes again, I like the design of them on sonic
I LIKE THE SHOES HE HAS RIGHT NOW SOAP SHOES ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO DRAW.
LOL THATS SO TRUE
While I wouldn't want a game where he mainly wears them, it'd be a cool alternate costume or something
yeth
Cat Meistr it's easy to draw them
As a kid I've been wanting that sonic figure for more than 10 years and I got a job and got him for 60$ with stand and I've never been more lucky!!💎
Its 2 here in the uk, i was about to sleep but then you upload
Ok one more I guess
Zir Yuri How you doing mai boi?
Same,You the man Cory!
Joshua 'TheTrueMaster' Baptista p
4:09 my dad and I took that picture and I think that's pretty cool
"Look great from many angle" - Patmac 2017
Where's a new soap shoe sonic figure?, Tomy: what's soap shoes?
Jakks paficic: HMMMMMMMMMMM
I ACTUALLY HAVE THE SONIC ONE
The nose ripped off tho
BUT I HAD IT EVER SINCE I WAS A KID
Ryrule sculpt your own nose with apoxy or super sculpty
If my body broke i would cut of the gloves shoes and head
Then i can make 5 inch jazwares sa2 sonic
Hey so can I have it
OMG U IS A LEGENDARY SOUL sry bout the nose tho I cri every tem
5:05 I really like this image.( *missed opportunity* )
10:50 That looks so beautiful, a TOMY Sonic SOAP shoes figure
I've never seen the Joyride SA2 Sonic figure in my entire life, prior to this video.
SOLARFARLE The Beauty Queen same
Oh my god, I had both off these.
I actually ripped off Sonic's arms BECAUSE the wires were worn out
The Shadow one was much more sturdy and well made
Shadows shoes were my favorite detail
I would pop off their heads and switch them
Fun Fact: Shadow's neck plug is bigger than Sonic's.
Use that information as you please.
Haha, that's my Prototype sonic in the pic in the video. It's the pic with it being in the middle next to sonic and shadow.
1:33 sonic its like saying
"hey can you get off of this thing?"
I still have these. I remember being so excited for them, seeing the commercial maybe twice ever, and opening them for my birthday. Sure wish I'd kept the packaging.
Ahhhh yes.
We have sonic the hedgehog.
Shadow the hedgehog.
And stone the hedgehog.
(Original character do not steal)
literally "ah yes" with 4 h's and no "my" or "favorite"
that's fucking it
My friend gave me the soap shoes Sonic
Keep up the awesome work patmac! You covered one of my favorite sonic action figure lines!
I Remember wanting the Sonic one, I saw it at KB Toys Many years ago, But Mom Told me to put it back, R.I.P. x'D
Master Sashimi i saw the sonic one on Amazon for 149.99 dollars with the box he was the only one i can find and he was in stock but i dont know the email and the zipcode only my mom knows what it is so i may have luck to get him yet i wanna know why ur mom said to put sonic back? How much did he cost? Becoz back then he wouldn't cost hundreds of dollars
Oh I'm sorry guys&gals F in the chat for the that master S mom made a sad mistake
RUDE!!!!
Maybe resaurus was better
The articulated prototypes are awesome
-SM ikr! Its sad to see those figures being destroyed those ones look sooo cool! If only they haven't destroyed it
I totally remember having Sonic in 2002, I remember bringing him in for show and tell in elementary school xD I was not a cool kid.
SuperRetroBros. Cool kid by my standards
Bet all those kids making fun of you for bringing a sonic figure for show and tell are hitting themselves because of how rare it is
Hunter Aroksaar I doubt they care or even remember him.
There not cool
[SuperRetroBros.] Uncultured swines, we call them.
Very well detailed and interesting video.
I might try to get the Sonic and Shadow figures someday.
I liked and subbed
Holy shit I remember this toy line of figures as a kid! Specifically the Samus one, that's shown at 6:28. Feels like a damn lifetime since I seen that figure.
i still have a shadow one,my uncle (who is a collector) gave it to me some months ago,i just watched this video and i realized i have a piece of gold in my hands!!!
PATMAC u are my favorite UA-camr ever sene u replyed to me in ur 25th anniversary plush review I like all your vids even if your video is a Kirby video which is a game I haven't played I clicked on it immediately I found your channel when u uploaded sonic adventure 2 plushies u are the best UA-camr
Last Sonic toy I remember having was a 4 inch Shadow figure back in '05. The ones with accessories that were usually two Chaos Emeralds but varied between waves.
I wanted this Sonic so much back in the day. I knew he wasn't sold in my country and I could never have it but everything about it looked so awesome, I could tell this figure was way ahead of its time.
This game was amazing
Wrong it is awful and Boring adventure 2
gabriel valiente not really, it has the best story, gameplay variety, music is really great, it introduced fan favorites like shadow and rouge, the chao garden is a fun little distraction, and has tons of content and re-playability.
@@gabrielvaliente4840 quit trying to anger people, it’s annoying
@@gabrielvaliente4840 you stupid adventure 2
I had the sonic figure when I was little and I remember it starting to smell weird overtime. Probably had to do with the flexible plastic it was made of.
0:23 I like the Sonic figure
Just found out my Sonic figure is the rerelease with the red base. Dammit. Just bought the Shadow one finally, new in box, for $100
I wish you would upload faster, but your videos are really good either way. You should do a Legend Of Zelda figure or plushy episode.
9:34 that looks like sonic run over by a truck lmao
Wow! I still own the Sonic one, used to play with him all the time when I was little, so much so that his nose popped out! Neat to see a review of this figure!
19:17 shadow looks like he’s sticking up the middle finger
SEGA’s depiction of Shadow the Hedgehog.
BRUH how did Joyride go out of business, they made stuff for like EVERY popular game!!
Yeah right?
Not to mention that everything they made was very high quality.
I still have a grey prototype version of the Sonic toy :)
Hope Boring adventure 3 doesn't ever come out
@@gabrielvaliente4840 what?
does anyone remember that stop motion serious that had these figures and Mario ones? The plot had to do with Wario turning into a dinosaur, I need the nostalgia trip! (edit: its called "mario and sonic part 1")
I'm very curious, what was your reaction when your sonic ice cream videos got over 300k views in less than a month
Ever since i saw these figures on the internet at around 2004 i was so hooked to them like crazy ! I remember waiting full 5 years until i finally received them for christmas in 2009. Sadly i was 14 years old around that time and slowly stopped playing with toys in general. And i really don't know what got to me but i gave them away to a young kid who was in love with sonic also. Considering how rare they are nowadays it was a decision i regret a little but that's life i guess..
Loved the Review !
Fricken love these figures dude I wish I had them
Just moved into my first house and dug out the old toy boy from the attic of my childhood home and whaddya know I have this Sonic and the stand in good condition haha.
You gotta make more videos, they're so weirdly entertaining!
Thank you! I'd love to be able to make videos more often, but I just don't have the time right now. I have a few shorter videos in the works at the moment though so those hopefully shouldn't take too long to come out.
When will you review the Dennys' Sonic Underground plush set?
Agreed. I have the Sonic, and it's probably one of, if not the best restuarant toys ever.
NEVER, HA HA
I have the Knuckles, and it's the closest you'll get to a Classic Knuckles.
Christme Productions what about the UFO catcher super Mario kart plush set
oh my god
See stuff like this makes me very happy as I grew up with the adventure games, I’m not sure if I’ll ever get these or get new versions of the adventure dx plush I had as a kid. I’m so glad you make these videos because this really helps me learn about the franchise
I love these videos, keep it up man.
What I wish is if tomy made modern sonic with soap shoes in a two pack with shadow cool right
9:34 I didn't realize they exploded when they snapped. Good to know
Exactly where did you get your joyride figures from?
I found the Sonic at salvation army, sadly no base.
Oh
I GET IT.
get what
Cool Frost OH I GET IT
Good Joke you didn't mean to make.
Are there any known differences on the bagged sonic? I found an opened one of the sonics in nearly perfect condition at the chicago toy show last year, and I noticed it seemed glossier than the ones I owned, and the blue seemed darker. The owner made the claim that it was meant for display or something. He was offering $15 and I passed for some dumb reason, though I already own several ones with broken wire. Also, shadow always bent better than sonic, even when first released. I believe its the resistance of the rubber rather than the strength of the wire, as the sonic uses a the natural white with paint on it, while shadow is dyed black, and black dyes tend to thin pvcs, making them easier to bend, so I wouldn't doubt it's the same for whatever rubber they used. That or the rubber was just different, but either way, shadow was always easier to pose.
Thanks for finding the jointed photos by the way, I saw some when I was young and haven't seem them until now, but it was a different sonic. Also, almost all earlier prototypes on display are resin, before they have the figure fully tooled they make several resin samples for displays at cons and stuff.
Great video!
I still have my precious joyride sonic figure, and I'm never selling it EVER. seriously tho, It took me a while to get my parents to buy me that figure, and it holds a special place in my heart.
I know plushes aren't relevant to this video, I just wanted to comment on the most recent one.
I find this channel really interesting, despite not owning a single plush. Thanks to this channel, I've grown a stronger appreciation for plushes, so much so that I wanted to fix the whole not owning a plush thing. I just bought a damaged but fixable Kellytoy (I think, the tag was cut off) Spyro plush for $16 off eBay and a Senei "Super Mario" Mario plush for $10, don't worry, it's official. I bought it straight from Amazon and I have Prime. I don't plan on having a big collection or even having more than one plush of the same character, but I do plan on getting a few more.
You should do a look back on the Sonic and Knuckles figures from Tomy(I'm talking about the figures that Tomy made to promote Sonic and Knuckles on the Mega drive/Genesis).
I'm lucky enough to have gotten the Sonic figure for $12 with his stand last year XD
Could you do a look back at the takara tomy magnetic kirby model kits. It's a super obscure kirby set.
The Right Back At Ya ones? I've been meaning to do a video on them for months! Just haven't gotten the time yet. I have a few shorter videos I'm working on now, but that set is a high priority, they're so cool!
PatMac Heck yeah man! I am getting the right back at ya dedede in a few weeks (shipping) I can't wait!
Also, this video was great. Keep up the great work.
PatMac hey, one more thing, can you also do a sonic 1991 plush set? Pls 😢
I was wondering who made these figures. I still have my Sonic figure. It's old and worn out, but I treasure it.
Yeah do you think you could come out moved to 2003 the same year as the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards.
So glad they are making figs like this I'[ve wanted these for a while and now my dream can kinda come true.
Man toys From back in the day were 10 times better than today's toys
I really hope tomy will make a 2 pack with the "high speed shoes" sonic and shadow later on
R.I.P.
Joyride
2002-2007
Do more look back at merchandise common!
Man, I had Sonic and Shadow as a kid. I scuffed up Sonic a lot because I loved playing with him, and I used Shadow so much (as he was my only toy of Shadow) that his arms both broke off TWICE. My mom had removed and replaced the wires once, and although his shoulders were torn, he still worked fine for my childhood made-up Sonic adventures. The second time I broke his arm wires, I handed him over to my mom and as far as I know, he was put in a small bag with his arms and then was misplaced. I know which room he's in, but no idea where in said room. I still have the cardboard pro-tip cards, though!! I had no idea they'd come from those figures until I saw this. At least one of them is still on my old home's wall in my room.
Wow this video shouldnt be this good, well done!
*i have never clicked on a video so fast in my life*
Awesome. Now I really want these!!
I remember begging my parents for these but they couldn't find them in any stores. I don't even remember where I heard about them as a kid but now the prices are crazy.
Sonic makes all types of products? OK where's my Sonic horse saddle?
I Strangely Like Tomy's Classic Sonic Action Figure.
Radic The Hedgehog yeah who doesn’t
The classic tomy figures are good.
AWESOME BRO
Hey patmac. I just went to toys r us earlier tonight and i got the modern sonic comic pack. Also they had the metalic shadow sonic and eggman pack but they were upside down in the package!!
TheDinocoRacer holy cow bro you watch him too
DJstromfan 13446865 yeah. Patmac was one of my inspirations for my channel
There are currently a sonic and shadow figure on ebay but I dont have the money to drop 300 bucks on each
Now im just waiting for the jakks Pacific sonic bendy figures
They could easily do a Soap Sonic variant
5:26 At end of the catalog of the figure it says Zelda and Samus from smash melee, ¿are those even out?,¿Could someone tell me whats with that?...¿¡ There was a SmAsH BrOs ToY lInE!?!
Nice to see Im finally early to one of these.
P.S. go fst
I was lucky with my collection. I managed to get the prototype sonic for £40, sonic for £20 and Shadow for £75. All boxed and mint. I even have both red and grey base variants.
Zamn zanial
I did buy my sonic for $20
Yay more patmac. I have waited years for this...
Another fantastic video
24:56 Actually you used another image of the prototypes in your other video looking at Sonic bendy figures. It shows mostly Sonic with a little bit of Shadow present on the left of the screen. But more importantly, the other image shows a different background... hmm...
Damn, all of your videos are so exstensive and interesting. Keep at it and you'll get big. I hope so too :)
Hey patmac could you do a look back at the jazweres plush set the one with the rare silver plush
:12 mightys on some stuff nice
I USED TO HAVE THESE! I accidentally twisted one of Sonic's arms off... I also had the Luigi's Mansion and Mario Sunshine figures
I've always wanted these figures.
Big wall text so apologies:
I remember how BAD I wanted the Joyride Gamepro/Nintendo Power toys but I could never find them anywhere for the life of me.
It wasn’t till maybe around 2007(right at their end) I got a few Halo 2 figures from them and for the time….hell to this day they still hold up well.
I’m a big toy collector now but back in the day I remember how blown away I was with the articulation of the Spartan figures.
I was talking about many of these in a toy group I’m in that’s full of collectors and even some in or with experience in the toy industry and he was telling us how even back in the early years of these releases how bad they would get scalped and sold out that the only way to even get a hold of these was mostly through BBTS pre orders.
A Samus Gamepro figure goes up for 800$ in package nowadays just to give you an idea how many of the others go for now.
Most Halo CE/Halo 2 ones go for about 100-200 a pop.
Great video btw. Not many people talk about Joyride studio toys anymore. They definitely did what many didn’t do back in the day.
Sonic lighters look "lit".
go ahead and burn me
Not as lit as California
*cracks nuckles*
Please I burnt covid-19
I would burn you but that's a pretty FIRE Joke.
I can't wait to play the hot new arcade game, Sonic The Lighters!
IS THAT THE SAME LUIGI FROM THE “what’d you choose Luigi for, he’s crap” VIDEO
"Luigi? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?"
I have all three of these on display. I got them as a kid back in 2002. Better keep them in good condition then lol cause I have everything that came with them. Don't have those last prototypes though, I've never seen them
It would be cool if you did a video on the Sanei Splatoon plush set!
L and N Studios Seeing this comment and those exact plushies in the latest video here makes me realise that life has taunted me with those plushies since they came out back in 2015. My soul hurts.
Using shadow finger you can make him pick his nose! MY DREAMS HAVE FINALLY COME TRUE!!!!!!!!
