All salvaged from my collection and put into play. Not that I will ever really play Chronicles properly, it's borderline terrible

^What's with the muscle-bound Sonic, Tails & Knuckles. I could understand the equidna, but Sonic & Tails? Lol.
I'm gonna be on the lookout for these next time I go to Toys 'R Us. I've been looking for Sonic and Shadow figurines to put on display on top of my TV for a good while(I put items related to my favorite game series on top of my TV - right now, I only have an F-14 Tomcat model on my TV to represent After Burner - I still need a Vic Viper model to represent Gradius, and, of course, a Sonic and Shadow figurine to represent my liking of the Sonic series).
But the 3" figurines would be just too small for my tastes. I'd get the 6" ones.
They made very few of the big ones. The "super posers" can be a bit harder to find but I believe the regular Sonic and Shadow got re-shipped. Knuckles just came out. Unfortunately, all TRU stores in my region seem to have cleared out even the sections for them and other toys(I want the new DC/He-Man 2 packs but I'll have to forget it). I wouldn't mind getting the Knuckles Racers ATV but it's even sold out online. I actually had to order series 2 online.
Don't waste your money on the 5" stuff. They like to tip over as they have huge, solid heads.
I just measured. The arms are 5 mm at the joint and then taper down to 4 mm below that, both halves. The thigh bits are a solid 5 mm, while the calves are 5 mm at the knee and 4 mm at the ankle. This sounds like a minor difference but it actually does look a bit bulged, thanks to the fact everything is so small.
Mostly they look like a clean, generic part the toys all share where possible. And you're probably not much used to seeing Sonic with an actual joint in the arm because the official stuff seems to go for this sort of bendy straw arms.
I got this baby

I normally don't pick up old PC stuff, but it's an Atari...and it has the original box:

I have no idea if it works, as the AC adapter was not included. Still, I don't think $13 was too bad a price.

Gunstar Heros Japanese
Super Mario All-Stars $10. He wanted more for this one over the usual price.
Donkey Kong Country, traded an RF box for it.

He's holding back a small stack of games for me and I gave him a list of titles I'm looking for.
