Fans of Jazwares' Sonic the Hedgehog line are in a for a cool treat. Wave the Swallow was released a little over a year ago as the second female in the line. She was a great figure, but seemed really hard to get ahold of. I personally have only seen her in stores a couple times. This past weekend I went on a quick little toy run (looking for the new DC Unlimited WW), and I noticed both Toys R Us and Marshall's were stocked with Wave figures. I was happy to see she was getting a reissue since I'm so fond of the character. I walked away, then doubled back because something was odd about the figures. I quickly realized that they didn't have eyebrows like the originals. Then I whipped out my phone and checked some photos (from my own review last year) and realized this was basically a complete re-deco. All-in-all, the paint apps are cheaper and sloppier than the originals, but there' s something really appealing about the new version, too. Check out all the comparison pics below!
