It’s time to get excited because there’s about to be a TON of merchandise based on Netflix’s new “Sonic Prime” series. We don’t have images of what items will be available, but we do know what kinds of things are coming.
AKKS Pacific, Inc. is partnering up with Sega of America for the upcoming animated series “Sonic Prime.” They will be producing action figures, playsets, vehicles, plushies, and other collectibles based on the new show. In addition to that, Disguise, Inc. will be creating official costume and costume accessories. These are all slated to come out sometime in 2023, so we’ll have to wait a little bit.
But in the meantime we can get hyped because Netflix’s “Sonic Prime” animated series is set to drop on the platform sometime later this year.
We do already have a pretty good idea of what they will look like based on what’s been put out this year. Of course they will have the stylization of the new animated series instead of the old Sonic look.
