Sonic fans have been very excited about merchandise for the Blue Blur and his supporting cast this year. From Funko Pops to Lego sets, there was a lot to keep track of, and there's more to come. Although Sonic and company. I already have a few Squishmallows and will be getting more soon. There are two new additions to the Sega Squishmallow family, a shiny version of the existing plush Sonic plush.
Despite rumors that Amy, Robotnik, and others could get their own Squishmallows earlier this year (Jazwares says Robotnik is egg-shaped, so it should be pretty easy), the only character to get the Squishmallow treatment so far is Sonic. Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow. As revealed by Sonic Merch News, You will get a shiny version of all four designs soon. All four designs are exactly the same as the original, but with more sparkle.
Despite the rumors mentioned above, Sega and Jazwares have gone in a different direction for two new Sonic Squishmallow additions. The first one is Santa Sonic.It takes a similar approach to Pokemon's Squishmallows, which gets a new holiday-themed Pikachu design every year. The Santa Sonic Squishmallow is similar to Sonic's original Squishmallow design, except it has a Santa hat and jacket sewn on to match the speedy hedgehog. Considering how fast he can run, Sonic would make a pretty great Santa.
Sparkly Sonic Squishmallow arrives just in time for the holidays
Not to mention Sonic's next game and new movie.
The second new addition is potentially the most interesting. Especially for Sonic fans. Dark Chao Squishmallow. The bad news is that Dark Chao Squishmallow is a GameStop exclusive. The good news is about the all new Sonic Squishmallows mentioned above. This is the only product already available. Although it isn't listed on the GameStop website, Sonic fans have been sharing evidence that it has appeared in GameStop stores.
Santa Sonic makes sense considering the time of year, especially considering the new Sonic game coming out this month and the new Sonic movie coming to theaters over the holidays, but choosing the Dark Chao to be the next Squishmallow over characters like Amy and Rouge doesn't make sense. It's an interesting choice. . Then again, it would make a lot of sense for the Shadow-focused Dark Chao to be paired with the shiny new Shadow Squishmallow due to his role in Sonic x Shadow Generations and Sonic the Hedgehog 3.
