Top 5 most wanted Jakks Pacific Sonic The Hedgehog 2.5 inch figures vol 2

Jakks Pacific's Sonic the Hedgehog line has sure been busy steadily pumping out more and more characters from the Sonic franchise with each wave seemingly becoming more and more obscure. We're getting characters now like Nack the Weasel and the Ballhog! Longtime wants of mine from the 2.5inch scale figures have also been checked off like the Newtron, Ray, and more Chao with the Dark Chao. There are some prime candidates though to be put out next in the line that I hope to see as my next most wanted!

5. Cheese

We haven't gotten a new Chao in the line for a while now, and I think that when they do go back to these adorable fixtures of the franchise it would be the perfect choice to put out Cheese! We got Cream in the line already, and she is in dire need of her iconic partner from the series. They are very rarely, if ever, seen without one another, and the design of Cheese would make them an easy one to put out. Just take the existing Chao mold and sculpt a bowtie onto it!

4. Yakker

One of the best modern day Sonic games to come out in the 3D genre, the Wisps have carved out their own piece of real estate in the Sonic franchise and they're a component I'd love to see in another upcoming game. While I would love to get all of the Wisps in action figure form (and we've started with one that was released with the collector's edition modern Sonic figure), a mainline good start would be Yacker himself, the Wisp we most commonly interacted with in the game. 

3. Froggy

Just like we had Cream released without her partner, we got Big the Cat in the line a bit ago and I still think it is a shame that he came packed in with random coins instead of her best friend: Froggy (or at least a fishing rod). Big is never seen without his best bud, and whenever he is without Froggy it is a time of alarm for him. While a standard Froggy figurine would make sense to start out with, I would actually really like his Sonic Adventure Chaos emerald design with which he grew a tail!

2. Batbrain

Jakks Pacific has been rolling through the Badniks as of late, so I'm figuring it is only a matter of time until the Batbrain gets inducted into the toyline! Appearing throughout the second zone of the original game makes these guys just about as iconic as those Badniks who graced the first zone. The line is jumping ahead a bit to the Ballhogs from later in the game; however, the Batbrains are ones I feel could be next. 

1. Silver Sonic

The boss in the original Sonic the Hedgehog 2 8-Bit version of the game. I had used to think that the only difference between the 8 Bit and 16 Bit versions of the original two games was just graphics; however, when I played Sonic Mania and Silver Sonics appeared I looked them up because I was interested in learning more about all of the references that that game managed to squeeze in. Lo and behold to my surprise that the 8 Bit versions of the original two games were actually completely different games unto themselves, with this guy waiting for you at the end of the second game! With some of the deep cuts we've been getting lately in the line such as Nack the Weasel it is becoming more and more likely we could see this awesome Badnik from Robotnik finally get an action figure!
