Step Aside Shadow, It’s A New Sonic Villain’s Time To Shine
First 4 Figures not revealing the price likely means this is going to be a pretty costly collectible.Square Enixemployed a similar tacticwhen revealing its Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Masterline statues. Now that pre-orders have opened for the Cloud and Sephiroth options, Square has confirmedit will cost at least $2,400 if you want to own one of them.
Don’t panic Sonic fans, Metal Sonic’s First 4 Figures statue almost certainly won’t cost that much. The site has already turned several Sonic characters into high-quality statues and while they’re expensive, the prices are in the hundreds, not the thousands. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles' stand-off statuesare all between $340 and $350, so it seems likely Metal Sonic’s statue will cost about the same.
There are spoilers ahead for Sonic the Hedgehog 3. The ten-day-old movie, not the 30-year-old game.There’s a chance it’s slightly more expensive to be in keeping withthe Shadow statue First 4 Figures released this yearwhich costs $410. Part of what have been extensive celebrations for the Year of Shadow. Perhaps this is an indication that 2025 will be the Year of Metal Sonic, particularly after the villain was one of two new characters introduced to the Sonic movies during Sonic 3’s mid-credits scene.
