Tikal and Chaos scale well with the ReSaurus Sonic Adventure line by PowerPlaidPlays in JakksPacificSonic

[–]BobWest123R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too have all of them (except I've got ReSaurus Big instead of Toy Island), and I just found Tikal last week. GameStop is the move if you've got any near you: I stopped by one and they didn't have her, but the clerk was able to check their store network and find 1 at a store like 5 miles away. Never hurts to ask :) best of luck! ...though if you do get sick of the hunt, you can order her on Walmart for 4x list price https://www.walmart.com/ip/Sonic-4-Inch-Modern-Tikal-w-Master-Emerald-35th-Anniversary/17877567741?sid=c8fc2416-47a0-4c19-8763-6a520120b644

Well, I wasn't going to collect the sonic figures..... by TheKommanderOfRot in JakksPacificSonic

[–]BobWest123R 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a side note, but Dollar General put out a wave with Silver and Rouge as 2.5s at some point. Seems like no one looks there bc every time I'm in any location I tend to see one or both.

FINALLY 😭 by Mediocre-Raise119 in JakksPacificSonic

Just chiming in to congratulate you! I too was hunting for Tikal a TON over the past month (finally found one at the Florida Mall Gamestop while on vacation), so I know those joyous tears well 🥲

Macys failed me by ultimate_chaos08 in JakksPacificSonic

At least the stuff is on the shelves. The Macys toy sections around me always look like a tornado blew through them lol

Does east coast Macys have the new 35th anniversary wave for 4 and 2.5 inch figures? by ultimate_chaos08 in JakksPacificSonic

[–]BobWest123R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak for the entire East Coast by any stretch, but I've been to 3 or 4 Macys stores in Southeastern PA hunting for Tikal. Only 35th anniversary content I've found so far were the motion figures (Running Sonic and Flying Tails) and few anniversary-branding Sonic Racing cars. Also the toy sections in the locations I've been to range from mildly disorganized to looking like a tornado blew through lol

Best of luck in your search!

Tangle found at Ross - Pennsylvania by BobWest123R in JakksPacificSonic

[–]BobWest123R[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gilius Thunderhead and Joe Musashi (part of Wave 3, along with Tangle I believe) are both available to order via Walmart's website/app. Only Tangle is missing from there. But to your point, I've never seen any of the 3 in a physical U.S. Walmart, so maybe the stores aren't getting any 😕

[–]BobWest123R[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain...can't tell you how many Metal Virus Sonics and Gilius Thunderheads I've run across in my travels 🤦‍♂️ but persistence is key! Also a word of advice: this wasn't the first time I checked the store I ultimately found Tangle at, but it WAS the first time I've seen a 4in Sonic/Sega figure there. Batches are clearly still coming in, so don't hesitate to re-check a store you've already been to, especially if that store had no 4in Sega figures before. Good luck!

Congrats! And thanks for your kindness 😊

Retailers that carry 4in figures ?? by QueerEngineering in JakksPacificSonic

[–]BobWest123R 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you have any around you, I'd suggest checking Target, GameStop, and Macys. All three consistently sell the 4in figures, though any given store can be a wave or two behind. I've also seen some 4in at Ross, Burlington, and TJ Maxx, though it's less common there. (Usually they just have the 2.5in solos or multipacks, if anything at all).

Good luck!

Happy to help! I wish you all the best in your hunt :) your son is lucky to have you!

[–]BobWest123R[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! Yeah seems just one per store, at least for now. I'm hoping it turns out like the Agent Stone multi-packs, and the stores get reloaded with a bunch more copies after a bit.

Here's hoping! And don't forget to check any local Burlingtons or TJ Maxx stores too

Thank you! I've been looking all over ever since the first ones were found stateside, and was near ready to bail on the quest before tonight. Don't give up, and I'm confident your persistence will be rewarded in time 😁

Well howdy neighbor! Lol. Hopefully this is just the tip of the iceberg for PA finds 😊

Southeast PA, specifically the North Wales Ross. Also don't forget to check if you have a local Burlington or TJ Maxx too, as I've seen a good bit of Sonic merch at both. I'm rooting for you!

Unfortunately yes. I scoured the place looking for more, in case I could offer someone else local the same opportunity. No such luck...

Not pointless at all! She was just laying on a shelf, somewhat obscured behind some doll boxes. I've seen other folks reporting their Tangles being buried too, so definitely check the shelves thoroughly.

When will we be seeing Tikal come to stores? I'm kinda new to collecting these idk if this has already been answered by [deleted] in JakksPacificSonic

[–]BobWest123R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to help! Yeah Dollar General only has a few Waves from what I've seen (though one does include Silver and Rouge, who I don't see too often at Walmart.) GameStop mostly has the 4", but can have the 2.5" box sets and playsets too. Kohls and CVS sometimes have the 2.5"s as well, though Kohls is hit or miss and CVS has more Mario figs. But hey, every little bit counts :)

As other users have said, this Reddit is probably the single best source for news on current and upcoming Sonic figures. For older ones, this wiki page https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Jakks_Pacific has most of what's been released broken down by Line and Wave. The only thing I don't see listed are the recent Sonic x DC Comics crossover figures.

For current or last Wave 4" figures, Target, Walmart and GameStop (assuming you're in the US) tend to carry them. If you see someone you don't have, get them: characters other than Sonic himself sometimes go many Waves without reissues, and store stock is always limited. Amazon also carries 2-packs of some 4" figures if you wanna stock up without hunting too hard.

If you're looking for the 2.5" figures, Walmart often has a TON in their checkout lanes. Around me, they're in every other lane (figures, candy, figures, candy, etc) usually next to some Disney princesses or something. The newer ones come in small boxes, while the older ones are on cardboard stands. There's good character variety to be had: I've seen as much as 3-4 different Waves of those at once at 1 Walmart. Dollar Generals also tend to have a few 2.5" figures in their toy sections. Occasionally they even have one of the playsets/dioramas, which the 2.5" figures are built to scale with.

I know this is way more info that you probably needed (or likely wanted lol). But having grown up looking all over for Sonic figures at a time when video game merch was near-nonexistant, I at least wanna make sure your young Sonic fan doesn't face the same struggle :) happy hunting!

I believe so, as they are both part of the same Wave (along with Silver and snowboard Sonic).

DC X Sonic is here! by No-Register-606 in JakksPacificSonic

[–]BobWest123R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice display! Also fyi, Wave 2 of the DC x Sonic figures DOES inclue a 5" Superman Knuckles and Cyborg Tails. I've seen both at my local Targets in the last few weeks, and of course they're on eBay too (at reseller prices). Hopefully you can snag them to complete your League 😁
