Jakks Pacific is rolling out new Sonic the Hedgehog figures, featuring new characters from both the classic game series and Paramount's Sonic movie franchise, per newly-leaked retailer reports.

At the same time, buyers should beware of counterfeit figures currently circulating in discount chains.

**Why it matters:** The American toy manufacturer has consistently expanded its Sonic offerings with figures from all aspects of the series, tapping into nostalgia while also reaching new fans.

The new character expected to be introduced in the third wave of 5-inch **Sonic 3* toys from Jakks Pacific is a **super transformation form of Shadow the Hedgehog**.

**Be smart:** Sonic Merch News also advised collectors to be cautious when shopping, as a batch of counterfeit Jakks Pacific Sonic figures has surfaced at discount retailer Ross Stores.

- These bootlegs, including Wave 11 Sonic and Knuckles, Wave 10 Amy, and Wave 12 Super Silver, may appear similar to official releases but are reportedly of poor quality and prone to damage.
