INFINITE
Release Date: 2021
Company: Great Eastern
Infinite was the Villain in the absolutely miserable game, Sonic Forces. While the game is like.. DREADFUL. However, I do like infinite. I can't tell you why really, but he's kinda cool in that overly edgy way. Great Eastern is well know for making more.. niche characters into plushes which is always awesome to see which is why i had to snag this guy when he released- I dunno if hes a favorite of mine; but I like him a lot :)
I should state as well, GE's plushes are immensely high quality and very accurate to their characters designs however, the material they use tends to be rough, and not great for placement on a bed- def not a 'cuddling' plush, and that goes for their entire line.
CHAOS
Release Date: 2009 (Was Rereleased Recently)
Company: Great Eastern
Chaos is one of my favorite sonic.. Villains? I mean he was in SA1 but I don't think he's particularly a 'villain'. Either way though this plush is Fantastic and for sure one of my favorites. It's got GE's general high quality and is extremely accurate to the game. obviously its GE so it's material is the same rough kinda fuzzy stuff, oh and the materials for the eyes is a sorta.. Iron-On kinda feeling? i feel like if not kept in a nice enviornment could peel and be damaged.
A small side note, this is the original release of the plush from 2009, i got it around 2018ish? not sure exactly.. It was Rereleased a couple of years back and can still be gotten off like, amazon currently as of 2026.
Chao (2009)
Release Date: 2009
Company: Great Eastern
Just a little guy!
This is a Great Eastern Chao, released the same year as the Chaos Plush. There isn't much really to say about him aside from hes ABYSMALLY small.
It's super duper tiny, kinda cute in that way but also would probably be easy to lose? it's the same rough fuzzy material, for a while it was the only Chao plush I had, and one of the few chao plushes that were out for years up until a few years ago when they started making more chao merch. so yeah, not much to say about em here he's just a lil silly.
Out of all the chao plushes though, this is definitely the worst, unfortunately. It doesn't feel good, it isn't cuddle-able given it's just far too small.
but again, it's one of the earlier chao plushes- and I guess.. maybe in scale with the Chaos? thinking about it now that might be why its so small since chaos is really big.
Bootleg Mexican Rainbow Sonic
Release Date: Unknown, Possibly 2020?
Company: Unknown
This is a weird one, But I wanted to break up the wall of Great Easetern plushes since I have a lot of them and as nice as they are they can be a little.. boring lol.
This is a somewhat well known Mexican Bootleg, unfortunately I don't know much of it's origins. I see it's listed in various places online- like US Ebay but also assumably spanish speaking countries marketplace; Specifically a place called Mercado Libre, I'm not familiar with it but it seems to be a sorta amazon like site?
a sorta e-commerce site, clearly. On there these are listed from a seller of going by the name of BEAR FACTORY- now I have no clue if they are the original procucers of this plush but most places at least in my loose research point back to there. I know of course these are sold in real markets and stores in mexico, which is how I got mine. someone I had used to associate with went to Mexico and found this there for me, along with another plush in this list.
Nonetheless, It's a very unique plush, I don't think it's rare because you can find it in any mexican street market- don't believe Ebay Reseller lies!
Shadow The Hedgehog (Nanco)
Release Date: 2010
Company: Nanco
This- and all of Nancos sonic plushes are some of the most hideous, gross looking sonic plushes like full stop they're fucking terrible. They have weird flat hands, awful material, they just look. Bad. I know they're arcade prize plushes, and like those are uuuusually not great? but these are like, especially bad. You can get such a better shadow plush from literally anywhere.
Frankly, I hate this fuckin' freak and I think I got it in a lot? and I don't know if it was worth it to have this bitch in my home LOL.
SegaSonic Sailor Tails
Release Date: 1994
Company: Sega
Apologies for this one, he's a tad dirty- as well as a few other plushes- I'm a tad scared to wash this one in like a washer given his age? I gotta figure out how to spot clean stuff tbh...
Nonetheless, this is the segasonic sailor tails, I love classic tails he's always absolutely adorable. SegaSonic UFO plushes were always super cute, I can't say they're high quality? I mean, they're UFO plushes from the 90's so like, they look good and better than current ones that's for sure!
This plush if ya can't tell is old and while he's not in the best shape, it's better than some other I've seen online. With all that said, it's a cute plush for sure but it does use felt for some parts, which aren't too comfy to hold. He's also quite small which while is very cute again, on the cuddle-able scale he's pretty low on that list- but he's probably good for a cute little display!
E-102 Gamma
Release Date: 2022
Company: Great Eastern
Oh my beloved, E-102 Gamma... I love gamma. If you you know anything about me you'll know I love E-102 Gamma, I speedran his campaign in SA1 and even still have a Figure of him from when I was a kid which is now, fairly expensive so thats kinda cool? Either way- there was once a Plush of Gamma, from around 1998 and It's.. Beyond words. It's beautiful, it's a perfect recreation of what he looks like in the game. It's however insanely rare, was hard to win even at it's time of release and covered in a vinyl like material that flakes and peels with age, and does it even faster when not kept in perfect environments.
This however, is NOT That plush. This pictured here is the 2022 release of their E-102 Gamma plush. While it's.. definitely not as good, it's the only other plush of a relatively niche character and for that I love it. I do wish he wasn't like.. directly bipedal- and like he's bipedal but i mean like with totally straight legs. Like a person, unlike how he is in the game with legs that go backwards, digitigrade legs? is that the term? not sure, either way about the plush itself!
It's a Great Easterm plush so same complaints about their rough material but a very good design and however not exactly accurate to the game like the other GE plushes. He's still one of my favorites, I just wish it was a tad more 'Game Accurate' and maybe a bit softer- I know its dumb asking for a robot plush to be soft but whatevs.
Either way, he's awesome and while I have little gripes with it, It's still Gamma- and that's awesome :3
Jet The Hawk
Release Date: 2014
Company: Great Eastern
This was another on I got in a lot, And while It's a cool High Quality plush I just don't much care for Jet as a character. I never even played the Riders game if im being honest. I don't have much else to say about him and little to say about the plush, It's another banger from GE and looks great, game accurate to an extent. I think he's also supposed to have his goggles,but when I had gotten it from a lot they were probably long gone haha. Uuhhhhhh I honestly dunno what else to add to this, It's a good plush well made, thats about it haha.
Cheese The Chao
Release Date: 2020
Company: Jakk's Pacific
Another Chao! Lately (and by lately i mean in the last few years) Sega I guess realized how these are cute and marketable little guys that people would buy the fuck out of- and I'm a perfect example of that and this cheese plush is a good example of that because its.. well its okay i guess?
It's like it's soft, its cute, accurate to what a chao is but like.. why does he look like that? what is this face he's making?? Why does it look like someone just punted him or something, Does.. Cheese ever even make this face? I just don't get it but uhh, I guess if you want a chao plush that looks like he's getting kicked in the balls- here you have it.
Cream The Rabbit
Release Date:
Company: Great Eastern
There aren't many Cream the Rabbit plushes, and this seems to be the most popular- it even has it's own bootleg! It's a good plush, however it has all of GEs faults- that being Size, and Material. Though an additional notable thing that is wrong with their plushes.. maybe it's just mine, but they seem to almost attract like.. dust, and hair and they're kinda hard to clean? well nonetheless, I don't have much to say about this cream plush; it's just ok it could be better, could be softer but there aren't many other so it's good for what it is!
Dark Chao
Release Date:
Company: TOMY
TOMY era sonic plushes was truly the era of Chao plushes, they released a lot- many of which I have. This one is the Dark Chao plush, it's honestly exactly what I would want from a dark chao plush! Even the 'floating ball' is done very well, it's very fuzzy which makes perfect sense since the dark chao ball thingy is spikey, and it really emulates that very well honestly- and it's not shown in this pictures but the head also has a fade to red at the tip, the tail is very accurate. Over all just a very solid plush, and a chao plush is always good to see :)
Classic Amy
Release Date:
Company: Great Eastern
I love classic amy she's adorable and.. well this IS a plush of her. It's just not like.. the greatest? I dunno I like GE when they make the more niche characters (which i guess technically she IS but whatever) but for more basic characters like i think Classic Amy SHOULD BE this is just okay. Shes cute but.. I dunno I feel like a TOMY or somethin' of her would just be awesome. It'd be soft, cute, huggable- Unfortunately we don't have that we have this. GE plush. Again, same faults of all GE plushes; accurate but rough, I guess the size is fine for this one at least but still. Not much else to say- at least the details on her like the shoelaces and such are very well done and nice.
Knuckles the Echidna
Release Date:
Company: Great Eastern
uhhhhhhhhh this one is kinda ass? like.. his head is so big and ugly he looks so deformed? Same with his fists? I know they're supposed to be big but Idk this one is just ass I don't wanna even give it more time than this lmao. oh this is one you can see the previous owner drew on his hands lol, I don't think i care that much.
Scourge the Hedgehog
Release Date: Unknown, Possibly 2020?
Company: Unknown
Another Mexican bootleg!! This of an exclusive comic character, Scourge The Hedgehog. Now.. I'm not fully well versed in the Archie Sonic Comic Lore, I'm pretty sure Scourge is like an evil sonic from another dimension or something? some star trek mirror universe kinda shit I guess lol. But either way- it's a character that would never in a million years get an official plush; which is why I needed this guy! I got it the same way I got the rainbow sonic, and he (and rainbow) are B I G. like these guys are huge. Oh yeah, I guess I should point out that this plush is uhh.. well It's faaaairly accurate? as accurate as it can be i guess? for a bootleg. Like his Jacket is missing a lot of detail, missing his scars on his chest, and glasses. He's.. pretty much just a green sonic with a jacket. but ya know, it's still something!! BTW For being bootlegs, material wise they're very good. very soft and shockingly well made.
Shadow the Hedgehog
Release Date:
Company: Great Eastern
A very accurate shadow, I'll give it that probably one of the best but, because of that I don't really have much to say here, It's GE, and it's Shadow.
Thaaaat's about it? This one I admit is a little dirty, I've tried cleaning it I just got it like this, and can't really clean it anymore than i did.
Super Sonic the Hedgehog
Release Date:
Company: Great Eastern
uhhh im getting tired of talkin bout GE ones since they're just so boring, It's a very good super sonic- granted there are quite a few super sonic plushes out there. He's good- also dirty I wish GE plushes weren't like dust and hair magnets. yeah I got nothing much else to say? It's good, It's Super Sonic.
Sonic the Werehog
Release Date: 2018
Company: Great Eastern
Actually a cool GE for once, Werehog! They kill it when they do more niche characters. I'm aware of the Jazwares Werehog plush and the unreleased Kellytoy Werehog- Both have a lot of problems or just.. weren't released lol. Now i haven't played Sonic Unleashed, mostly because I don't have a functional console of that generation. That being said I think this is a very well made plush, extremely accurate lots of little details are nailed. I dunno what else to say its a really good werehog!
Classic Sonic the Hedgehog
Release Date: 2019
Company: Great Eastern
FUCK I DONT CAREEEE MAN IDK ITS SONIC BUT CLASSIC I GUESS MAYBE? Sorry im being too harsh, I just have to many GE plushes and like they're just kinda boring? It's also maybe I just don't care about like.. the main characters? like they're cool, nice too see but theres so many and they're just like. not good in the sense of plushes for materials are rough- i typically want a plush for like being on my bed, and GE plushes are too rough. The GE plushes i DO have and like- mostly Gamma and Inifinite and Chaos, I have hung up on my wall oh well- either way, it's a fine plush. just fine.
Shadow the Hedgehog (Toy Network)
Release Date: 2005
Company: Toy Network
I don't have many plushes from when I was a kid, this however is one of them! that being said.. good lord its terrible. Feels bad, understuffed, colors are weird, list could go on- however. It was won for me in an arcade by.. someone in my family? Probably my dad if i had to guess. it's so ugly, but thats his charm? I used to have an amy and sonic but they both got ripped or damaged in some form or fashion happens! I was a dumb kid lol. Either way, its a terrible plush, but it's my terrible plush :)
Unknown Tails
Release Date: ?
Company: Great Eastern
It's a cute tails, GE again so not much to say. It's pretty cute at least I think its Classic Tails? given the proportions and eye color- or lack there of eye color.
Miles Tails Prower
Release Date:2005
Company: Toy Network
This wasn't one of my original ones as a kid, I never had a tails. I got this a bit later for very cheap and honestly- IDK how much i paid but its so not worth it. This feels SO GROSS like i feel bad touching it? something about this thing is like a bad sensory to me. It feels totally different than the shadow, amy and Sonic i had so I dunno whats up with this thing. Also aside that hes just CRIMINALLY understuffed like look at those legs i dont think there is any stuffing in them. Horrid plush, but i guess hes kinda funny.
Silver the Hedgehog
Release Date: 2018
Company: TOMY
A pretty nice plush honestly! I don't have tooooo many Tomy plushes, the few chao, this one, and the next one. Now these are like.. really small. Teeny tiny i feel like, however they're SUPER soft, I love it honestly. this kinda material is really nice for a plush, its super soft, not abbrasive like GE or Toy Network (actually Toy Network didnt make a silver right? i think they lost the license before 06? eitherway..) I'm typically not too crazy about already posed plushes, it kinda sucks? i mean I guess it would suck if youre tryin to play with it but.. im 29 im not playing with them anymore however i still feel the same way about em. Either have wires in em so I CAN pose em or just have em be in a default stance. Either way this plush is really good, I kinda like it. :)
Eggman
Release Date: 2018
Company: TOMY
Eggman is a weird character, honestly. At least for a plush right, its a plush of like an old man. either way its very good! I know there is ones of his classic design, but this one is much more like Sonic Adventure which is peak. This uses the same material as the Silver plush, however only on certain parts of the plush which, is kinda interesting but works really well! I dont think i have much to say on eggy here, he's fine!
Sonic The Hedgehog (Tomy)
Release Date: 2018
Company: TOMY
another tomy, same tiny size, same soft material! Also posed, so kinda weird not perfered but its nice. This one however I did get used and i can tell it was gone through the wash at least once. You know how plushes get sometimes when go through the wash? I can def tell this guy had a few rides in the washing machine. Not a knock to the plush of course, it was used- I forget where i even got it? come to think of it.. I have no idea where i got it. I didnt buy it? huh.. maaaaybe a goodwill??? i dont think so but.. huh. oh uh either way, good fella.
Knuckles the Echidna (Sanei)
Release Date: 2012
Company: Sanei
this is a kinda rarer plush i think? I got him in the weird way, I was buying a plush from someone in a discord server and- long story short the one I bought they already sold so they gave me two plushes of my choosing from their lot. This was one of the two I got from that, and honestly? I love this guy. I don't have any sanei plushes, well sonic ones and they're so good! So soft, fairly small but it kinda works out! it is funny how MASSIVE his fists are- like i get it knuckles got big hands but these are like comically big LOL. This is just and awesome fuckin plush, in the sea of fairly mediocre ones i have this dude is absolutely peak.
Vanilla the Rabbit
Release Date: N/A
Company: Custom
This is the other one from the mentioned lot in the Sanei Knuckles post! Now.. in their listing they had MUCH more expensive, valuable plushes that I could've gotten that i couldve scumbag resold but, just not really me tbh? I dont think i ever sold a plush lol. Either way there was just such a charm to this custom. somethin about it spoke to me (And no its not for some gross reason i know people are weird about Vanilla) it's so cute, i believe they're a custom by setsunakou, I THINK they might still make plushes? it seems like their website still works, and it was last updated last year so.. not really sure? I could comment on issues I have with this plush, but tbh that'd just be nit picking- its a custom and it's just cool it exists!!
