I just watched the Sonic movie yesterday. It was a fun experience. It’s not overbearing with shit, and Jim Carrey really steals the show. 7/10
 
Second movie McDonalds toys, nothing major here.

Kind of weird they're all wearing white Vegeta style Dragon Ball Z shoes.

So Super Sonic and the Death Egg Robo are confirmed. Neat.

Kinda surprised no one mentioned it in the thread, but a Super Bowl commercial showed what the robo will look like.

Pretty stellar.
 
It's not the same at all save for the blob presence, though the one on the OG one's supposed to be a dust cloud because knuckles spins when pushed forwards. This new one's a static figure on a blue thing.

Speaking of merch though,I saw thanks to this movie they're finally releasing merchandise of the fucking tornado that isn't a 500 dollar statue. Sure it's cheap as shit and would require repainting and some slight modification to be accurate to the one from the games, but it's something! There's also merch of jim carrey robotnik but no vehicles for him at all and the other cheap figures are out of scale with him.
Knowing distribution on the normal cheap sonic merch is horrendous to begin with, it will probably be hell to find him not within the hands of scalpers but I kinda want a tiny cheap shaved jim carrey figure. I've been checking some stores by me for months for a single 4 dollar figure of the fucking funny crabmeat guy from the genesis games and I only saw it ONCE months after it came out. Glad to have gotten it though before a fucking scalper, though. no way in hell I'm gonna be paying 30 or 40 dollars for shit that years ago would probably have been a gacha machine prize.

I do find it really odd that the death egg robot looks like an HD-ified death egg robot from the games instead of being a giant Jim carrey effigy. You know how the final boss of splatoon 2's DLC campaign was a greek/roman statue mech with a giant laser pointing out it's mouth? yeah that's what I expected it to look like, only Jim carrey with a moustache and a whole body instead of just the head. It'd fit with the whole smooth white/black curved shit going on with the robot and vehicle designs perfectly.

Speaking of the movie robot there's a weird figure of that coming out too, couldn't find the product images on image search anymore so I had to resort to screengrabbing a youtube video that was literally just a compilation of sonic movie merch coming out soon.

Sculpting seems to be on point enough but they clearly skimped on the paintwork. Does look like a cool thing to put on a shelf, though.

lol no 1 gives a shit about toys made 4 children
 
Sonic movie wasn't bad, but it feels like Beastmaster 2 or Masters of the Universe.
Feels more to me like the live action Mario movie but actually a success somehow. The lore is fucking nothing like the games and name drops of random shit from the games like locations or characters are all over the place. Part of the positive reception is more than likely the fact they actively went back and cleanedup sonic's design after the backlash to the initial trailer, something movie companies rarely fucking ever do. Another facet might be because people have kinda loosened upon the "loosely tied to the source material" kind of movie over the years if the movie is actually enjoyable and not shit like ghostbusters 2016.

The important thing to take away from the shit I posted is there's a cleaner image of what the giant robot from the trailer looks like, albeit with somewhat fucked colors.

Also it's very clear someone cares about the dumb toys because despite the fact All I wanted was the funny vidya crab from a 30 year old game I've only ever seen it and a majority of the other figures on scalper listings. Sonic though? Nobody gives a shit about him.,It's kinda funny.

"The fans have the power to change the product."

No we do not. Because if we did then why are Sonic's arms BLUE? Sonic's arms are not blue!

Don't call anybody!
I haven't watched the video and I'm too lazy to and I know this is a shitposty reply but it is kinda fucking wild how powerless people are against changes in media. Usually when a movie comes out the studio frames all critics as somehow racist or sexist or "alt right" to blanket the whole thing. Of all the fucking movies to be an anomaly where they actually go back and try to fix it after universal backlash, it's a fucking licensed CGI hedgehog movie with a on paper smurfs-esque premise of "character gets warped into the REEL WORLD IN MONTANA!" Then again the sonic X anime did something similar before the smurfs movie existed, but that's an anime, not a cgi movie with recognizable blue characters from a thing. My fucking point is it's fucking weird that this movie is the one they actually listened to universal hatred with a "huh we fucked up" kinda response.
