![]() Page of pics I just took of my Metal Sonics (cause this WILL go over the image limit). Anyway, I took a look at my Metal Sonics (I got the very first ten inch with the bad shoe stripe, and the 3 inch) Now I was a bit weirded that even after all this time, Sonic Team still hasn't finalized its character designs, and I'm even more weirded out by the fact that the standard design got two figures made out of it. Maybe it was made while the game was in development? I guess. The main pic is one from the Olympics, and the game model itself still used the standard model. Way before the kinect was even announced! The strange thing is, this is the only art from the game to use this model. SONIC RIVALS 2 BLACK SUIT SONIC FREEAs it turns out, this is the Free Riders model. Yet, take a look at all the mentioned areas. ![]() ![]() This is from ASR, and as such predates all the Free Riders pics by a good margin. Among them was this little gem (I'm totally gonna hit the image limit): But wait, amongst a sea of previously unseen, Sonic Channel Calendar, and ASR images, why the heck is Metal Sonic using a random spinoff model? Shouldn't he have the other model (the one in the outset of this post)? Well, I'm generally interested in these things, so I had a look at all my Metal Sonic pictures. This wasn't there at first.Įnough differences to say "oh hey, he got upgrades for the Riders games after all!" Plus, the gang gets new gloves and shoes anyway right? That's what I thought and let it go at that. Additionally, there is a silver connector on the shins that connects to the shoes. Limbs: at the section that's nearly right under the shoulder pads, there is extra black detailing above the shiny silver ring.Hands: the slits on the backside of the hand are now tabs that stick out instead of point inwards.Hands: the smooth surface on the palms now has two indentations.Hands: at the part where the fingers connect to the main hand, the ball joints are now more dials/hinges/joints like in between the fingers and shoes.There's also added detail so the black part in the middle Shoe joint (the silver bolt thing): on the top of it, there's a whole bunch of stuff now, most noticeably another black line, and some more detailing.Shoes: underneath the stripe, there is now an additional black line.Formatting kept acting up.) At first you think, "oh hey, Metal Sonic has no glasses/new shoes or whatever". Limbs: at the section that's nearly right under the shoulder pads, there is a shiny silver ring.Hands: on the backside (the yellow portion) there are two dents/slits on each hand.Hands: this is a bit harder to see, but on the palms (the black portion) there is just a smooth surface.Hands: at the part where the fingers connect to the main hand, there is what appears to be a ball joint.Shoe joint (the silver bolt thing): on the top of it, there's just a thin line/indentation in the middle.Shoes: underneath the stripe, there's no extra detail.The silver portion of the arms/legs, the shoes, the joints in the shoes, and the hands. We're gonna pay attention to several key parts here. The last one is a reference of the model, that was provided to Jazwares to make the ten inch Metal Sonic. The third one was reused in Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing and Sonic 4. ![]() ![]() These are from Sonic Rivals 2 and Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter games. (The first two and last one are thumbnails, click for larger images) Ok, so let's take a look at some renders art of Metal Sonic. Gonna try to use as many thumbnails/links as I can.
