Jakks Pacific has officially shared images for the DC x Sonic the Hedgehog Wave 3 action figure multi-packs. This wave showcases a creative blend of iconic personalities from both universes.

This collaboration continues to bridge the gap between the high-speed world of Sonic and the legendary heroes and villains of the DC Universe. Following the success of the first two waves, Wave 3 introduces a surprising selection of characters.

New Character Pairings in Wave 3

The latest images reveal three distinct two-packs, each featuring a Sonic character “cosplaying” or taking on the mantle of a famous DC icon. The Wave 3 lineup includes:

• Batman / Shadow: Perhaps the most fitting pairing in the entire series, the brooding Shadow the Hedgehog takes on the mantle of the Dark Knight.
• Lex Luthor / Doctor Eggman: The ultimate clash of the geniuses. This pack brings together the primary antagonists of both franchises, with Eggman sporting the signature Lex Luthor look.
• Starfire / Blaze: Bringing some fire to the lineup, Blaze the Cat is reimagined as the powerful Tamaranean princess, Starfire.

These figures maintain the stylized aesthetic established in previous waves, blending the unique proportions of the Sonic cast with the unmistakable costumes of the Justice League and their greatest foes.

Scaling and Articulation

The DC x Sonic the Hedgehog Wave 3 figures continue Jakks Pacific’s commitment to providing fans with dynamic and poseable collectibles. From the images above, there are some “unique” scaling challenges, specifically regarding the size of Doctor Eggman compared to his DC counterpart. The overall look and character selection are pretty good though.

These multi-packs are designed to appeal to both younger fans who enjoy the playability of the 5-inch and 2.5-inch scales and adult collectors who appreciate the novelty of this official “Amalgam-style” crossover.

Expanding the Sonic x DC Universe

This partnership has grown rapidly since its debut. Beyond the action figures, the collaboration has expanded into apparel, accessories, and even a dedicated comic book from DC. The reveal of Wave 3 indicates that Jakks Pacific sees long-term potential in this mashup.

The inclusion of characters like Blaze and Starfire shows that the line is willing to go beyond the core “Big Three” of the Justice League to explore fan-favorite secondary characters. This diversity in the character roster is a major win for fans who want to build a comprehensive crossover display.

Availability and Pre-Order Information

While an exact street date has not been set, the DC x Sonic the Hedgehog Wave 3 multi-packs are expected to hit major retailers like Target, Walmart, and Amazon soon.
