Jakks Pacific is offering new product based on the second film of Sonic the Hedgehog, which is released now. The Sonic Speed R/C car comes with a controller, which is inspired from Sonic’s rings from the film, and also comes with an articulated Sonic figure standing over 6″ tall.
Thank you to Jakks Pacific for sending along their Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Sonic Speed R/C for review.
Availability: March 2022
The Sonic Speed R/C is packaged in a window box, with some instructions and a clear window on the front, images on the sides, and a mode detailed look at the back.
The Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Sonic Speed R/C features a fully functional rider and remote controller that allows you to go forward, 360 degree spins, turn and a turbo mode that lights up the wheels when in motion. It can go pretty fast and needs a flat surface to function best and had a range of 100 feet.
The official description states that Sonic can be removed but at least on this particular sample he is securely placed on that even the use of force could not get him off of it. Sonic stands at over 6″ tall and comes with a fully sculpted detailed fur to represent his hair, with the top and back of the head given a different sculpted fur than the rest of the body. The head sculpt is nicely done including the facial details, such as the eyes, nose and mouth. He is also given red and white shoes with some orange on the top, and these have some paint bleeding going on.
Sonic is also fully articulated, including a swivel head, swivel-hinged shoulders, swivel-hinged elonbws, swivel wrists, and swivel ankles.
The base itself is nicely done with rotating wheels that works when its activated. The top of it and the hub caps had a metallic wash over the black, which is a nice touch.
The R/C and remote requires 8-AA batteries and the batteries it comes with are meant to be thrown out, as well as the wire that is attached to the ring and the R/C. The remote controller is one of Sonic’s rings with several buttons on the sides that work the motion, as it’s specified on the instructions on how this works.
Overall, the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Sonic Speed R/C is a fun toy that kids will surely enjoy the motion and functionality of it.
