Jakks Pacific's next wave of Sonic the Hedgehog figures will include two long-absent characters in Tikal the Echidna and Sonic the Werehog, according to new retail listings spotted by merch enthusiasts on Tuesday.

Why it matters: The two characters have seen limited representation in modern Sonic merchandise, and their inclusion comes just as the toy maker marks the hedgehog's 35th anniversary.

The details: The 24th wave of toys includes both 4-inch and 2.5-inch figures with the 35th anniversary branding.

  • The 4-inch line-up includes Tikal, Chaos, Silver, and Sonic the Hedgehog.
  • The 2.5-inch line-up includes the Werehog from Sonic Unleashed, Miles "Tails" Prower, and Classic-era verisions of Doctor Eggman and Metal Sonic.

What's next: Both assortments are available for pre-order on EB Games in Canada, as first spotted by The Sonic Collector's Scoop on the site formerly known as Twitter.

  • 29 June 2026 is the expected release date.
