From KotakuIt looks like it's along the same lines as some Star Wars figures I've seen. Surprising that they started with Metal Sonic, as opposed to Sonic himself (maybe he's to follow at some point?).
Anyway, according to the article, the bad boy comes out on July 23rd, so be on the lookout. Think he'll look spiffy going up against my Werehog figure. XD
EDIT: From
The Sonic StadiumLooks like it'll be in the same line as the more recent action figures (like the Werehog, and Super Sonic and Shadow).
So it looks like Metal's gettin' some love nowadays. Makes me wonder what other classic characters might get revived in plastic.
