SEGA & JAKKS Pacific Renew Sonic the Hedgehog Licensing Partnership

JAKKS Pacific announced a renewal with SEGA of America for the Classic and Modern versions of the Sonic the Hedgehog Collection, maintaining JAKKS as one of the franchise’s global partners.

JAKKS will design, manufacture, market, and sell Sonic the Hedgehog branded toy product lines worldwide commencing in 2022. This renewed agreement will include rights to produce action figures, playsets, vehicles, plush and other collectibles.

The JAKKS line of Sonic the Hedgehog merchandise seen unprecedented success since its introduction in 2019 with product launches spanning big box retailers in-store and online. The four-inch figures replicating Modern and Classic versions of Sonic were an immediate hit with fans of all ages that were looking for new ways to experience the brand. The introduction of the 2.5-inch figures and Green Hills Zone playset last fall brought all new ways to play and recreate the action of this iconic zone from the video games.

“Our line of Sonic the Hedgehog products consistently hit the mark with retailers and fans, and we are excited to continue to develop innovative toys with SEGA that resonate on a global scale,” said Craig Drobis, Senior Vice President of Marketing at JAKKS Pacific, Inc. 'Our Sonic figures, playsets and plush have seen consistent sales growth since our partnership with SEGA began. There is more great product to be introduced for this Fall and for several years to come.”

“JAKKS Pacific has been an integral partner in bringing our vision for unique, high-quality Sonic collectibles to market over the past two years, and we’re ecstatic to expand our partnership them as we enter the next decade of the franchise,” said Alex Gomez, Licensing Director at SEGA of America. “The new collection is sure to bring Sonic fun to new heights with merchandise tied to upcoming projects and will feature the Blue Blur in his Classic and Modern form, with something special for Sonic fans of every generation.”

The Japan-exclusive arcade title would be a boon for preservationists and retro gaming enthusiasts.

The Sega Ages line is a treasure trove of classic Sega games remastered for modern HD consoles and televisions. Sonic the Hedgehog has of course been a big part of the range, with both his original game and sequel on Sega Genesis already available for purchase. While it would seem that additional Sonic games would be a no-brainer for the series, it’s not stopping Sega from thinking a little bit outside of the box for which title to choose next.

Speaking to Game Watch (and translated by translator Oni Dino of Nintendo Everything), Sega creative producer Yosuke Okunari stated that while there aren’t any official plans for future Sega Ages titles at the moment, if fans support the range enough it could lead to the remastering and rerelease of other titles down the road. That includes arcade and Japan-exclusive title SegaSonic the Hedgehog! Here’s what Okunari said:

When we began work on SEGA Ages for the Nintendo Switch, the amount of titles in development were limited, so we decided on a lineup that consisted of the first two entries in the Puyo Puyo and Sonic series. If this collection of SEGA Ages titles is successful, then I’d say we’d really like to consider releasing more in those series. The arcade game, SegaSonic the Hedgehog, has never been ported before…

SegaSonic the Hedgehog is a Sonic game produced by Sega’s arcade division Sega AM3 for the company’s Sega System 32 machines. SegaSonic introduced the world to Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel. It’s generally compared to Marble Madness in part due to its isometric game world; control was handled via a track ball. To date, SegaSonic has never been released outside of Japan despite being a fairly beloved entry in the Blue Blur’s catalogue of games. If it were to finally see the light of day… well, that would be pretty cool, in this writer’s estimation. It would also be a wonderful act of game preservation in an age where the topic continues to garner more awareness.
