I think Jakks has the potential seeing as there bringing never before released figures to the table.
@Gooey we have 3 chao figures
@@sunky5722 he said chaos
KOCO AND WISP PLUSHIES WHEN????
@@CTC6921 bro we got chaos dat got no brain
Well we have our first chaos figure and also jakks release a character that only got 1 action figure Rouge
I grew up with jazwares but I love mainly because of how reasonable priced they are and they starting to make characters of merch we never had and it awesome. Jazwares still my favorite but jakks has great potential to be the next jazwares
God, seeing that wall of Toys R Us Jazwares figures gave me such a strong feeling of nostalgia! I wish I could go back! God, I remember when my Dad would take me to Toys R Us during the summer after a track meet and would let me pick out some Sonic and Pokemon toys. And then on our way to the checkout isle I would go through the comic books and grab all of the Archie Sonic comics they had! Those were the days...
The Jazwares figures increased in price over time. I recall it being the following range from start of release to end of their licensing life.
3 inch: $5-$8
Comic pack: $12-$16
3-packs: $15-$18
5 inch: $9-$13
10 inch: $15-$20
Huh interesting, I was worried I'd get some sort of stuff wrong on that section since it's so hard to find consistent prices for them, at least it doesn't alter the outcome thankfully lol
Take me back to when they were that cheap.. now you gotta pay $150+ for one character 🫠

@@O._its._dre0811:23 worse than true😳
Speaking of shit. Is it just me, or does it look that someone wiped their ass with Jazwares classic Amys shoe? (Seen at 1:59)
As obvious as this was, it's still cool to confirm it. I never started collecting Sonic figures and plushies till Jakks strated making them. Mostly because I appreciate them doing so much Chao stuff.
While I don't like that ugly gold Chao figure, the cheese and dark Chao plush are amazing.
The last time I had sonic toys before that point was the old adventure line. Had a sonic, Big and Eggman. I also had the talking knuckles.
The one pet peeve I have is the 2.5 inch and the 4 inch playset compatibility. I wish Jakks would have stuck with just making a 3 inch figure line and do what jazwares did and just add the accessory with the 3 inch figure. I don't want to buy the same figure in different sizes.
well if you think about it them re releasing the figures is a good thing cuz it allows people who missed out on the release of the figure to be able to buy it for example...take super sonic hes ridiculously priced on the aftermarket say jakks re releases him and shadow now it would give people the chance to buy them so it isnt all bad
10:46 Strangely enough, when i was about 8 I specifically remember seeing the Jazwares Sir Galahad figure (Black Knight Silver) in Walmart, by itself, not even on the toy isle, just on a weird cardboard rack that was filled with random items by the toy isle
It confused the hell out of me because it had the "Toys r us" exclusive sticker yet it was there. I didnt buy it because my parents said no, but oh my god did i want that sucker so bad. And to this day i still dont understand why it was there
I haven’t taken the Jakks figures out of their boxes but from what I look at, I absolutely love them so much! My favorites of the series so far are Classic Sonic, Amy, and Silver. All in the four inch set. I do have some 2.5 fella and they’re cute too, such a fantastic price set too! Sonic and Tails with the tornado for only $20 is just one of few “Yes please!” Moments
I only have a few more wish characters in Blaze, classic Amy, Sally, Tikal, and I guess whichever movie characters come in the future. As of now I have everyone I want.
Good comparison here pal. Good humor and inserts as well.
Honestly for Jakks, I think they would superior if they also had elbow articulation as well. They are fine as it is but idk, feel like yeah Jakks is better because they actually have characters that Jazwares hasn't done (Thi ngl, Jazwares is special to me cause of Sonic Stop Motion Adventures)
Though what is the deciding factor between jazwares and Jakks is the Playsets and accuracy to the source material. For example, we got a whole Egg Mobile playset with bosses accurate from the games. Not only that whole playsets are based on zones that are clearly based on Sonic Mania. I just wish they were bigger like the papercraft dioramas that was custom-made. Or maybe one day we get an actual death egg playset.
Honestly how come no one has done a full in depth analyse on these two companies, Thanks a ton bro.
I like jakks lineup more, like I wanted an omega forever, but the jazzwares line was absolute perfection especially in the articulation department
This was absolutely great to watch. The jokes, editing, structure, all of it. Subbed 👌
I can’t decide I like them both
Also I did not know that jakks has various sonic toys in stock in Walmart but the thing is that I have the WORST luck going to a Walmart finding at least one 4inch figure of any character for me to take home for my obess- i mean collection all I find is the 2.5 check out lanes and the team sonic racing diecast that I don’t know anyone cares about because the marketing for tsr was pretty dead
6:27 story of my life right here
I got a video idea: you should make a video going over different sonic fan games. You don't nessacerally have to play them if you don't want to, but i think it would be a fun way to shout out another side of the sonic community. also great video man hope you reach 10k soon :)
I personally love Jakks for giving us figures like Rouge and Mighty, but Jazwares will always be the winner to me. Not just because I grew up with those, but because they made a lot more figures based on games. Free Riders, Black Knight, All Stars Racing, Colors, and releasing the classic figures once Generations came out. Obviously Jakks is still fairly recent, and haven't had as much happen. But they have covered the Sonic movie franchise, and they'll be making Sonic Prime figures soon. I think that both are excellent, and that there shouldn't even be a debate. But I'm sure we can all agree: Tomy was worse than both of them.
I think jazwares is kinda overrated. I mean the jazwares figures where priced well and had good articulation, but jakks pacific has made figures of characters who haven't had a figure for a while or are just getting their first figure.
They do have a big problem with releasing figures though.
Great analysis i needed to hear this because i have both jazz and jakks sonic figers lol. I hope more people can discus this topic.
Jakks Pacific over Jazwares for six reasons.
1. They don’t take Super 7 years just to get one or two new characters out per series. Blaze anyone?
2. They don’t fall apart in your hands.
3. Better variety of figures and in the case of Team Dark, we’re not waiting as long just to complete our teams either.
4. As much as I dislike Jakks’ constant inclusion of Modern and Classic Sonic in every wave, at least they bothered to change them up even just a little compared to the constant repacks of Jazwares with the occasional new accessory just to make people buy them again. That’s as much I’ll give them that.
5. The quality control is more competent than the horror show that were the Jazwares where you’ll either get a stable figure or a figure with a broken leg out of the box. There’s no in between.
6. Scaling and proportions are a lot better with the Jakks figures where you don’t have a Tails standing as tall as Sonic or a Shadow that looks too lanky in the limbs.
I highly agree with you on the scaling. Jakks can be bad at times (*ahem* Amy)
But at least it's not as bad as jazwares scaling. For example:
Tails
Blaze
Vector
Silver
@@jaleanawatson7154 Vector was scaled alright. I can handwave Blaze’s height as a result of her shoes and the fact she’s not seen standing next to the other characters often.
@@rayvenkman2087 Ture, but still Tails and Silver have it bad. Silver is too short and Tails is taller than most of the characters.
6:28 this is my favorite part
now this is the kind of content I need
9.94k Subs! Wow You Grew A lot!
I Was Here From 2k-Now.
fun little fact for 11:08 from a Canadian, we still have toys r us, like it's literally my go to store as a toy collector and I go there commonly, however... they don't really have much of Sonic. Of all the toys r us stores I've been to recently the most I can find is a small corner of isle filled with the same 2 giant classic plushes and one box of classic sonic craftables figures
Congrats on 10K ❤😎❤
I collected a few Jazwares and I really enjoyed them for what they were, they definitely had issues though, QC and having plastic pin joints that small made things easy to break or be really loose. While the Jakks toys don't have as much articulation, they are a bit more polished with the paint and with less mold lines and more consistent paint. Thing is, I do think we will be getting 4 inch toys with elbow bends with new molds for the ones that dont have them, theyre just running the old molds to finish first. Rouge has elbows which surprised when i opened her yesterday.
Just subscribed very good break down
7:48 Jazwazwares wins for THE CHOCOLATE HIGH DIVE!
7:49 Idk why but this made me laugh so hard
the chocolate high dive
Love this video, but I have to make one add-on that I hope makes the score more 4-1: Inflation. Yes, even if we go from the Jazwares end of 2013 and Jakks' start of 2018, there's a significant bump of about 8%. To make it more clear/unfair, gonna go with 2009 price inflated to 2018 via US Inflation Calculator(a bump of 17% because longer timeframe plus changes in Chinese factory pricing, various financial crises, etc):
- A single 2.5-3" figure
Jazwares: $7.02
Jakks: $4.99
- A 2.5-3" figure PLUS accessory/Badnik (which was like...10-12 USD from memory. Jakks is hard to find, I think I've seen it for the price shown in store)
Jazwares: $11.70
Jakks: $6.99
- 2.5 multipack sets/playsets
Jazwares: $24.57
Jakks: $19.99
It goes on from there, but I highly disagree with the original point on price. Another thing to think about was 'relative cost/value'. At the time Jazwares had the license, Transformers, GI Joe 25th, Marvel, etc? All at or below $10(2009 money) for 4-6" figures, some with incredible parts counts, detail/paint, and accessories. Now? All those lines are pushing 20-25. Sonic toys today by that metric are so much better in value. I also love the move away from Badniks being cheap, mono-mold inclusions to being their own figures. Jazwares has, however, greatly improved over the years, so if they got the line back and put as much effort in as their Fortnite line? I'd be happy with that.
JESUS you put a lot into this comment lol. I totally get what ya mean though, the prices were just so much of a cluster since there so many variables, as you layed out amazingly lmao
@@Bulbasquirtle thank you, just was a memory that stuck with me from back then where I'd got to a store, see the line just dying on the vine because between the cost being on the high side AND the likelihood of a breakage, fans weren't picking it up. Personal, anecdotal experience though.
Ayo Grand Metropolis stage music around the 6:00 mark is just based. My jam right there.
When you said that Walmart has a bunch of sonic stuff, I just 100 percent agreed! Because half of my entire sonic figure collection was from Walmart
And thankfully vectors mouth can close so he's not stuck with a traumatized face lol. I love jazwares but as Jakks grows I think the Jakks line will be the best line the series will get.
Jakks is making a Chaos. Debate over
Jakk specific is pretty poggers
Yeah that's all I got, great video
While the Jakks line got me back into collecting Sonic figures, Jazwares got me into it in the first place. I still remember the first and last figures I bought from that line (being Werehog and Sir Lancelot)
I personally think jakks,and also damn didn't expect a vid,but I'm glad to see it
Meanwhile People Fight For Say Who Is Better 3'' Sonic And 4'' Sonic Are Relaxing Drinking Coffe
Every time I go to target there’s at least one 4 inch figure, but I kind of wish they had Toys “R” Us still open with that huge aisle of sonic stuff
Thanks to Jakks, I was finally able to afford a Metal Sonic figure, and I was pretty excited when they made silver Sonic as well. My biggest hope is that they release Sonic 3’s mecha sonic.
Jakks is the best due to their new line of 50 dollar articulated sonic figures
Ngl, We need articulation in the elbows
If Jakks puts out Tikal and E-102 [with Froggy accessory] 4" figures then I'll be more or less fulfilled. We'll finally have the complete Sonic Adventure 1 cast.
Nack the Weasel/Fang the Sniper (getting some spotlight due to Sonic Superstars) and S3&K "Mecha Sonic" 4" figures would also really make me happy, and not impossible given they're releasing a metal Sonic 3.0 toy. Other than that, more 2.5" badniks.
Biggest issue I have with Jakks is lack of availability for some figures in Canada. You basically *have* to use eBay scalpers or US 2nd hand sites, which gets expensive. But the figures themselves are fantastic. Hope they keep the Sonic license for several more years.
Jakks, and I'll tell you why. Because almost all of my Jazwares figures broke not long after I bought them. You'd think it was just me, but no. I've seen tons of people's who have also broken. These new ones are sturdy and have just the right amount of articulation. :03
The Chaos and Super Sonic figures have manifested into my local HEB
Oh cool. Mine has a crap ton of shadows and Eggman. I hope I could at least find chaos or vector someday.
In my opinion I think jakks pacific is better because I can find them in stores for a decent price compared to paying 60 dollars for a poorly painted shadow action figure
Ah yes, the debate of the century hehehe! 😆😉
If I got the cash to buy something, I would honestly buy both Jazwares and Jakks Pacific Sonic Figures, both so far have Sonic characters that range from common, rare, and to even obscure sonic figures.
Here in Canada they do sell Jakks Pacific Sonic products at Toys-R-Us (because Toys-R-Us is still open in Canada)
I know Jazwares has the TRU advantage, but the availability for characters (other than Sonic himself) was night and day between the two companies.
Yes Walmart gets Jakks figures, but I have never seen a character there that wasn't Sonic or Tails. And it would take me weeks of stopping in Targets to find a character like Big or Amy.
With Jazwares, I knew that TRU would have shelves of every character as soon as they released. Never had to hunt.
Jakks has characters like Omega and Infinite that I love, but Jaz I like more. They were more childhood, and the figures were super posable and just the right size.
Jazwares made Blaze and Jakks hasn't yet so...
Jakks made rouge 😊
Jalls is making her as confirmed
@@flapperfroggythebabyalivea9434 I NEED CREAM
I’m thinking of getting the jakks line wish I didn’t have to cut the figure and drill into it just for elbow joints though
7:46 this got me outta nowhere💀 I don’t know why
Bulba you saved me, you made a video on my birthday 😁
🎉
i live in canada on toys r us is still in business and they have a whole sonic section like jaswares did
Whats the song playing around the 3 minute mark
0:17 🐽🐽🐽🐷🐷 fav part of video
Finally... a good debate of the century Jazwares vs Jakks
Imo they are the best figures to use together, jazwares shadow and jakks omega
Jazwares metal Sonic jakks eggman
Jazwares 3inch 🤝jakks big characters
Jaz Sonic never being in walmart always pissed me off as a kid since after a certain point we never went back to toys r us
I still own all my Jazzwares figures. They’re still in good shape too!
The jazwares figures always fell apart after playing with them as a kid. I can see the sentiment for collectors, but Jakks takes the cake on durability (albeit with limited articulation).
I also really like how accurate the jakks figures look to the game models.
Good video!
Oh yeah and jazwares metal sonic absolutely shits on jakks. So disappointed when I saw that the jakks figure didn't have metallic paint, hopefully they'll do a re-release one day.
If jazwares implements elbow joints it’s over
I lost it at comparing Tomy to the mitten 🤣
Jakks looks more like the games models
When you said people just have to buy another character to just get a new accessory some people can actually make the character that got into like a custom
7:48 The Metallic Paint High-Dive!
The only thing that surprised me in this vid was the news toys r us was going out of business, when i recently went to one located at my nearest mall just to look at a raptor animatronic. And its kinda depressing to not see any form of sonic toys there. Instead theres bayblade and yugi-oh cards. Nostalgic. But i still left the store taking an L
Jazwares baby metal sonic : at less I’m a baby jacks metal sonic at less I have bitchies
i just got back from Walmart with a jakks tails Minifigure and saw this
Imagine if you included rereleases for jakks there would have like 10000 figures
I thought that jakks pacific toys had cheap joints, BUT HOLY FRICK, apparently jazwares are even cheaper. wow
Jazwares fans when their figure they just bought joints permanently breaks
I still love my Jazwares sonic even though I pretty much have all of the Jackks I stll have him sitting on my shelf with the new collection
blud forgot the existance of inflation
I have the Classic Mighty figure. I love it.
Well, I seen how it looks. And pretty much they’ve seem different in stores is like usually like new around there a revisit characters and new figures! 👍🏻🖤🇰🇭💗🙏🇺🇸💙🦔
But the downside is y is there no elbow articulation on the jakks sonic
Jazwares figures were too fragile imo even fresh out the box. While 10 year old me had those, 20 year old me knows how to take care of figures and only one figure has broken not long after taking it out the packaging. All the rest are considerably more sturdy and standing fine on my shelf. The sheer variety too, the moment they make Blaze, it will immediately make Jazwares obsolete if you ask me.
Edit: Also just wanted to add, kids are so goddamn lucky nowadays. I, for the life of me, could never find Jazwares figures as a kid and had to resort to ebay. Now several stores are stocked up with these figures and they'd be so much easier to obtain for a kid. Not just Sonic, but FNAF fans, Minecraft fans and even Among Us fans. We are truly spoiled and I am envious games didn't have this kind of merch when I was growing up.
Grrrrrrreat now I wish I had a toysrus
My collection is mostly Jakks because my family loves going to Walmart the most.
Here’s my counter argument, nostalgia nostalgia, I grew up with Jazwares
the 10 inch modern sonic and classic sonic are the more accurate sonic toys ever
It sucks that toys r us is gone. Jakks is so hard to find today
Cool!
11:53, KUMBAYA!
You know…if it ever happens and idk and idt it will but…if sega gave Jazzwares the sonic license back that would be sick AF.
I think that Jazwares has more articulated toys. But jakks has more color and more of a realistic touch if wanna call it that
I love jakks man there is so much variety with their figures.
Awesome
In canada, Jakks has stuff at Toys R Us
Jakks is best. They have screen accurate figures. Jazzwares joints made the characters look muscular.
I never got to get a jazwares figure but I do like Jakks toys though. I just wish they also had 12 points of articulation like come on, why wouldnt Sonic and friends want to bend their elbows? The collectors edition solves that problem but $50 for one Sonic toy that gives what they should already have is crazy
I think the Jakks Pacifics Figures are better because sonic character figures look more bigger and nicely detailed. There's also more Jakks Pacific Sonic Figures coming soon in future. Even characters that never have jazwares figure like Mecha Sonic and Chaos Freaking Zero which I'm totally going to get chaos with master emerald. I'm excited for wave 13, 14, 15
the jazwares figures break easily.
10K SUBS!
We hit 10k!!!!!!!1!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
I love jazwares line the only problem is that they are pretty rare here in Mexico i remember paying 500 pesos for tails and 800 pesos for knuckles and Sonic itself was a gift and i love the sonic sadly sonic broke but I still have them and i love them but damn jakks is perfect and i only have sonic,super Sonic,eggman and mighty but i honestly love them they look great in the shelf with jazwares and they are common here in Mexico
Where do you live? Here in Guadalajara were very common in the Sonic 2 hype, but then nothing came to the stores. (I have only seen Movie Robotnik at Wal-Mart since then)

Jakks is pretty rare in germany although they have german printing on the packaging. I never see them anywhere and need to order from the UK or US …
Toys R Us is till open in Canada, and there aren’t that many jakks pacific sonic toys, the only one I found there last time I went was a tails plush from the 30th anniversary.
Yeah, I was gonna say that too. I'm in BC and it's super hard to find Jakks stuff.
