ReSaurus Sonic Adventure Action Figures (1999 - 2000)
This was the first real set of Sonic action figures. Based on the hit Dreamcast game Sonic Adventure, ReSaurus maded two series of 4" Sonic action figures and one 12" Sonic figure. These were considered by many fans to be the best line of Sonic figures available. The sculpts were small and all fairly accurate. Each figure came with a base of their 'face logo' and 1 plastic gold-chromed ring which fit on a clear plastic stand to fit in the base. The figures had a hole in their shoe so you could snap them on too. ReSaurus has unfortunatly gone out of business. There were rumors of a third series being released based on Sonic Adventure 2 containing Shadow, Super Sonic and Rouge the Bat, but was canceled due to ReSaurus going out of business. All the Resaurus figures are now extremely rare, some sell for $100 online.

Toy Island Sonic Adventure Action Figures (2000)
Shortly after ReSaurus, Toy Island released their own line of Sonic Adventure action figures. These figures were not recieved quite as well due to Sonic and Knuckles having heads that were a little strange in shape and Tails' body was very large and chubby in comparison to the other characters. This series did however release wonderful sculpts of Big the Cat and Dr. Robotnik. These figures came with accessories such as Chaos Emeralds, real metal rings and many of the figures came with miniature sidekicks such as Tails who came with a Chao, Dr. Robotnik had Kiki and Big the Cat had Froggy.
