SEGA Announces Partnership With JAKKS Pacific For Netflix Series Sonic Prime

Sonic's video games have been hit and miss, with Sonic Forces and the re-release of Sonic Colors getting mixed to poor reviews. Other titles such as Sonic Mania, Team Sonic Racing, and Sonic at the Olympic Games have seen mostly positive reception. The Sonic shows on the other hand have been doing well reception-wise. Sonic Boom, despite the cancelation, was a great kid show with lots of memes spawning from it, the Sonic movie was a massive hit and its sequel is highly anticipated, and now we have a Netflix series Sonic Prime coming soon with JAKK's Pacific joining with SEGA to create some merchandise.

We don't have much information but we are getting action figures, playsets, vehicles, plush and other collectibles. Sonic merchandise has been popular with a wide array of both modern and classic Sonic featured in LEGOs and high-quality figures. Sonic is one of those rare characters that can appeal to both adults and children so expect these toys to be big.

Sonic Frontiers is the next big Sonic game releasing this December. The game was supposed to launch in 2021 but SEGA pushed the date back to polish up the project. Considering how Sonic Forces launched that's probably for the best.
