San Diego Comic Con gets an exclusive Metal Sonic photo

The San Diego Comic Con is a month away, and with it comes news that attendees can get their hands on an exclusive special edition JUVI. Typing such words as these makes me feel like a Tomopop writer, but since this is Sonic-related, I am compelled to type them.

This Jazwares Urban Vinyl figure has a metallic finish to the paintjob and will be available from July 23rd, via Toys 'R Us. Items will be limited and shall cost $17 apiece. Not only will it be on sale at the Entertainment Earth booth (#2343), customers can also get their hands on one from toysrus.com. I might buy this thing. Maybe.

Probably not.

I'd go through a 'painjob' to get one of them... ;) (Yes I'm making up for my earlier spelling fail.)

But seriously that thing looks f*cking sweet and I want one.

Pssh, more for me.

Reminds me of the Megaman figure they also have in the works--guess this Urban Vinyl line is all sculpted the same from the neck(?) down.

Stuff like this helps me remember how much I used to enjoy the Sonic franchise, and live in blissful ignorance of the current state of it.

I want this SO BAD, as I love Metal Sonic, but I'm not going to ComicCon. I may have to get one through Toys R Us. The price is not bad at all.

I NEED that!!

Metal Sonic needs to be a playable character in the next 2D Sonic game. Rush HD for PSN/Live?? The E3 psychic did say a 2D Sonic game was in the works for the download services :P
