Sonic the Hedgehog toys get all the hype from fans of all ages. Some Sonic toys are easier to find, while others are so rare they cost a small fortune on eBay. However, one type of Sonic toy is extra special: plushies.
Tons of plushies of Sonic and friends (or enemies) are out in the world, waiting to be added to your growing collection of Sonic merch, from most common to ultra rare. For the sake of your wallet, we've narrowed it down to five Super Sonic, super-soft options. Here are the best Sonic plushies we found in 2024.
Sonic the Hedgehog 7-inch Sonic Plush Figure
This 7-inch Sonic the Hedgehog plushie is the cutest plush you could ever get a kid. This Classic Sonic design is made with a premium, super-soft fabric that can withstand every play session and outing it's brought along to. This plush is great for kids and adults who are kids at heart, including yours truly. It's small enough to take wherever you go, or place it on your desk to look at or squeeze when you need to relieve stress at work.
Shadow the Hedgehog 12-inch Great Eastern Entertainment Plush
The Shadow the Hedgehog plush from Great Eastern Entertainment is the most accurately designed Shadow plush you can find on the market. The curves on his spiky hair stand upright as they would when he’s idle, and his air shoes are incredibly detailed, down to the last hole in the soles. In addition to being an excellent plush for anyone’s Sonic toy collection, you can take this Shadow plush to any anime convention, or to see Sonic the Hedgehog 3 in theaters December 20.
Hero Chao Plush 6-inch Great Eastern Entertainment
The large Hero Chao plush from the Sonic Adventure 2 line of plushies has become a rare and expensive item for Sonic fans to get their hands on, but Great Eastern Entertainment has you covered with the smaller 6-inch Hero Chao plush. This plush is designed after the Hero Chao model on the Sonic Adventure 2: Battle cover art, with its arms folded together in front, and has a string that you can hang from anywhere for easy display.
Tails Squishmallow
Squishmallows are the most popular brand of plushies and Sonic and his friends have been mallow-fied. However, of all the Sonic characters in the collection, we’re nominating Tails for best Sonic Squishmallow. What makes the Tails Squishmallow design even better than the rest is he actually has his signature twin tails.
Club Mocchi-Mocchi- Sonic the Hedgehog Plush
Show off the Sonic the Hedgehog's giant head with the Club Mocchi-Mocchi- Sonic the Hedgehog plush. Mocchi-Mocchi- are plush pillow heads originating from Japan that are designed to be twice as soft, squishy, and huggable as Squishmallows are. The only difference is that Sonic’s facial features and his trademark hairdo are designed with a little more accuracy to his features in-game. Use it as your pillow at night and have sweet dreams of running through Green Hill Zone.
Where Is the Best Place to Buy Sonic Plushies?
Unlike Pokemon plush toys, three isn't a Sonic-specific retailer where you can buy all of the various plushies available. Because of that, the overall best place to buy Sonic the Hedgehog plushies online is through Amazon. You can also find Sonic plushies for sale at Target, Walmart, and even GameStop, but the lowest prices and greatest variety appears to be on Amazon in 2024.
