Movie Live Action Sonic Merchandise

(That I don't approve of)
So here's a sub-standard title card that's very boring.

After the art fiasco that set the internet ablaze with flames for 'bad design' (true) in 2019 the "Sonic Movie" live action Hollywood production went back to the 'drawing board' and re-made the hideous hedgehog into something more akin to a friendly hairy bigfoot troll that happens to be blue.
People seemed to like this better, and so merchandise moved ahead. However it's #NotMySonic so, like bandana and sports tape loving Boom Sonic (And poor Stupid BoomKnuckles) the merchandise must all get corralled away onto a special page/set so as to keep it from contaminating other items. This is that page.
There is also Movie Clothing * Movie Items 1 * Movie Items 2 * Movie Items 3 * Movie Items 4 * Movie Events *

First 4 Figures Movie Standoff Sonic Turns

Even First 4 Figures gets into the movie merch scene with this display figure called "Sonic Standoff".
This is made for Movie 2, but it was only announced at the end of 2023. It is actually only 1 half of the final item, which is a 2 piece set with Knuckles running the opposite way planned for the other half so that the title will be appropriate as it's "them facing off against each other" like the battle from the movie.
As is the usual for F4F, look at what an amazing job they did for the base. The broken pavement and double-yellow line texture is super perfect. The defeated/half buried Eggman Robot even has the missle side door open/stocked with fully painted mini missiles. The 'eye' is clear plastic. As for the gremlin, they do the best they can for it, texturing in all the wooly hair and making sure the hands are small & the face is angled down to (seemingly)

minimize the look of the eye divide. The pose is good/convincing, and attaching it to the base only at the very tip of the heel makes it very active/action.

Until 2024, there were plenty of Sonic commercials all over the world, and on lots of different shows and channels, but there had never been one on the supposed pinnacle of all advertising:
The Superbowl. The football event known for its highest ad prices and most extravagant high-budget big production ads that comes only once a year.

In past years, the Superbowl ads were even more extravagant than more recently (So, early 2000s/2010s kind of times and a bit before) they even would have clip-shows which were TV shows dedicated to rebroadcasting compilations of the most famous and memorable ads that people would deliberately watch. "Kind of a big deal" is an understatement, but you did have to know the history of it.
To know why having something Sonic on there would have been inconceivable years ago/and why it's so surprising even to see it now. Of course, as you can see it's part of the Nickelodeon collaberation they had with part of it to show like Spongebob doing football something, and that's why there's random CG fish in the row ahead of them. But, that they think the movies are a big enough deal to have the characters in an ad spot on the biggest ad area of the year is really some sort of milestone.

With Movie 3 on the horizon, natrually even more toys will start to appear.
This is the Jakks Pacific Ultimate Talking Sonic figure, and it's much larger than their usual figures, with 15 points of articulation. It also will play 30 phrases from the movie. The third feature is that it lights up....because...lighting up is what Sonic is just so known for. Not being fast, spinning, or anything else, lighting up. (Again with the movie nonsense! Yes I'm going to complain*!)
The other words on the box are the same text over and over in various languages as this box is meant to be sold everywhere. The back text says he saved the world twice already, but who's counting. He also has 2 new friends, but are they enough to stop

the new threat?" Which is a perfectly spoiler-free blurb to put there so it is fine. What may not be as fine though is that this will be a more expensive figure (big, many features) but then they didn't enclose it at all! The bos is another of those open-seat card things that exposes it to paint rubs, fall damage and more in stores. They figured this out on the small line/register-area figures and enclosed those...why not this guy? It seems like kind of an un-smooth move for a costly item. This will be sold at Target and Walmart, but probably Amazon will get it too as it's a big 1 off sort of thing.
*The complain isn't here to draw a false equivelence between this and say...a glow in the dark Sonic squishy keychain or a Sonic themed neon lamp/crystal cube etc. where the purpose of the object is to glow and be a gimmick. This is that somehow Sonic's 'thing' IS that he lights up and has magic glowing eyes AS one of his powers which is wierd but like the movies are severely wierd so...oh well.

Build a Bear is back for Movie 3, and of course they add Shadow this time to their slightly odd looking line up.
The Sonic & Tails are very likely to be the same as before, so it's another chance to pick them up for anybody that missed it on the first 2 movie releases. Sonic has his ring accessory again, and Tails this time is the online exclusive. Shadow looks...
Well, he looks very 'build a bear'. With 'big body', and the small ball feet, it's not particularly cool nor 'Shadow-like'. His accessory is the green chaos emerald. His expression is determined, and they did manage to get the mouth off center (the movie's thing is centering their mouths which often doesn't look as good so you can see merchandise trying to not do this)
As has been pointed out by The Internet (tm) that middle seam between the legs is necisary for how these are structually built/sewn but it really isn't fabulous for Shadow here.

Plush choices are provided by Jakks Pacific.
This one is likely about BAB size or a bit bigger, but has better proportions. The fabric they choose is a bit fuzzy for the blue part, and the ears are nicely sculpted on there/not just flat flaps. The shoe detail & gloves are normal and the mouth is not a sewn on line, but rather more of a texture which makes it more movie-like in this case. The face seems well sculpted enough too, to the CG.
As is usual there's something hinky going on with the altered eyes which can't be helped/makes the face seem a bit compressed/small, but there's nothing to do for it because it's part of the movie design. This should release in December 2024 slightly ahead of the movie, as is typical for merch.

Here is a close up look at the "Snow Sonic" figure from Movie 2.
This was in a 'costume pack' of figures where it had the various disguises that were used in the movie. This one, they had him dressed up as a little snow kid with flappy ski cap, scarf, jacket and too-big jeans. These were the 4 inch size figures, and this one had somewhat limited articulation because of how it is dressed.
As a figure, it's decent because it has all the sculpted on details of the movie clothing and the paint job is also quite nice. The qaulity (By Jakks Pacific) holds up just fine, and having it on a 'costume pack' is a good enough gimmick.

Opinion zone:
Is no cliche ever safe from these things?? "Dress the wacky animal/alien/ghost as a winter human child for antiiiicccsss!" it's like someone is doing a mad-lib book of fill in the blank sad old comedy tropes to make these doodoo movies GEEZ. How about having an original idea? Couldn't be here!

Regal Figural Head Popcorn Bucket & Light Cup

Regal Cinemas is going all in for Movie 3!
And that means...overpriced yet collectible movie accessories to buy when you arrive and sometimes on ticket packages. It's also completely up to them how wierd to make them (See Deadpool and Dune items wow...) and so they're not afraid to make uh...
A really large glowering/somewhat scowly Sonic head where the top of it lifts off so you can get popcorn...out of a big figure head? Well I guess so! Wierd!
Then, there's a light up big cup for the accompanying soda. It has a textured/semi-transparent blue plastic to make a 'tornado' type look and features a battery light inside. There's a high-relief Sonic running figure on the outside/bottom that's pretty big. So the cup is coherent, it's him doing a whirl-wind/power effect from the movie. This makes sense. The gimmick here is actually pretty fun/makes sense too for what it is. Bucket is still cringe and strange though.

Funko Pops apparently get into almost everything, and that includes Regal Cinemas here with this selection of them that will be available apparently 'in store' for Movie 3. They already exist elsewhere/are sold normally so this isn't some exclusive thing to force you into the theater. It's just kind of a nice

thing to have on offer for Funko collectors. You can get Shadow/Dark chao, Sonic finger waving, Tails flying, Cream and Cheese, or Sonic/soap shoe with Hero Chao. The big curiosity is why is Cream/Cheese there when they're not in the movie. She's a more obscure character. (So if they were going to debut another character at the end, it wouldn't be her, it'd be Amy if logic is used*)
*Logic? In the movie? Says who!

Regal Movies will also have these 4 plushes available to buy when Sonic Movie 3 comes out. You can choose Shadow, Knuckles, Sonic or Tails. It is unknown what manufacturer is making these (will be updated to the entry upon release)
They're not that big, but each has the movie styling for the most part but.....
WHAT is going on with Knuckles' head??

That thing needs to report straight to "Mutant Gear", gee whiz it's wider than he is tall and looks completely bizzarre. There's other odd stuff going on here too, like Sonic's body is quite oddly shaped, Shadow with 'center smile' looks kind of odd, and the white stripe for Knuckles seems thinner than normal. Price pending release.

More products to use while you watch movies...
Here are the Regal Lenticular Cups with exclusive figural toppers and metal lidded tin.
It doesn't say what the tin does? It is metal, with embossed movie logo on one side, and CG art from the movie on the others. It is square and pretty big. The cups are no-spill lidded with re-usable plastic straws. Each has a lenticular design starring either Shadow or Sonic that changes as you tilt it in the light. The toppers are sculpted/3D figures of Sonic and Shadow in movie theater seats where they are holding a food or a drink cup. The slogan on each is 'this ends now', a line from the movie.

Lenticular cups, metal tins and toppers all make sense/are good merchandise to have with a movie. It'll probably do well if it's not too costly.
But...the toppers are very self-referential? How big of a deal in the plot of the movie is it that the characters watch a movie? Like, that's SO signifigant of a thing that they do that you bother to have entire figures of them doing it? Everything about the movies tends to be odd so I guess another odd choice is to be expected here but it's worth pointing out. Hmm.

Jones Sodas, the makers of unusual and trick/joke flavors adds 4 more to their line up, dedicated to the Movie 3. They make 1 flavor for each character, and use movie CG art on the label for each one. You can collect the bottles, and try the flavors. (Sold in 4 or 12 packs, but they are limited edition so they're costlier than normal sodas)
There is Sonic Blue Bubblegum, Knuckles Cherry Orange, Tails Orange Cream and Shadow Rootbeer.
How unusual does Jones get? Well one year they had literal green bean flavored soda so they know their flavors (even if you might not want to) so the choices of 'orange' and 'rootbeer' are a bit common for them, and also rootbeer is a hated flavor outside of the USA for reasons.

Here is the whole set of 'individual character posters' for Movie 3.
The 3rd movie is having an absolute flood of posters 'fake' posters (as in its art on the internet they say is a poster but never gets made or put up anywhere) as a form of advertising for it. These though likely did get made.
Each one has a solo character from the movie with matching color/rays background, and the actor name at the top with the logo at the bottom. Which, ok I guess, but it's expected everybody knows who all the human characters are without their names on it. Interesting to see how half the posters aren't even Sonic characters at all, but that's also expected by this point.
