He had a bit of trouble gripping the wheel (it is small for his arm articulation) but he can indeed do it. Jazwares accomplished it though, and he fits easily in or out of his car. Sonic's car presented a unique challenge: fitting a figure with huge feet inside it, and still making it proportional. The figure retains all the detail of the original, but now the hands are open so he can hold on. The Shadow symbol adds a great touch to the gas tank. It uses a mix of matte and shiny plastics to convey the different types of paint/metal that are found on it in the game. The wheels are thick plastic, and the bike itself feels well constructed. The tires here are rubbery, with realistic motorcycle treads. He stays on the bike purely by holding onto the handlebars, there are not seat modifications. There is a tiny kickstand (on the bottom) which works on hard surfaces only. The bike is low to the ground, but will always tip over if you aren't holding onto it, or propping it on something. The front handlebars can be turned just a little bit to the right and left. Shadow is the only one who has a slight degree of steering to his vehicle. With a creative car that's well detailed and the good Jazwares sculpting, this is a great Knuckles item to get. He's shown here wire-tied onto it, as the tie is descreet and really helps keep him on there, though the handlebar gripping action helps that as well. There's a slot in the seat (seen here) for his tail so that he has an easier time of being placed on the vehicle. It rolls well, but has no front end steering ability. The 'metal' parts are made of a silvery plastic, which does have a bit of shine to it. The tires have good traction and are made of rubbery/tire-feeling substance. Knuckles looks great with his off-road style vehicle.

These boxes display the figures & vehicles very well, if you're an MIB collector, you can still really admire the item inside and it makes a good presentation in the store. The 'spin shape' and checkered flag/light rays theme is all over the box. The end has either the logo on it, or the exact same picture of Sonic in his car that's seen on the back. The box is rather plain, and all boxes are identical except for the name plate on the front. This should indicate good news for buyers if more than one place will release these. Notice the absence of any Toys R Us labelling or 'sticker space' on these boxes. The holographic sticker proclaims it is 'Safety Tested'. Each box has the game logo, the character name, and 'From the hit game' in the dot. With a nice big front window, but solid sides, they make a good presentation that will likely hold up in the store.

Could it be because his is the only actual car like item, and they didn't want to hide the fact that you're getting a whole figure PLUS the vehicle? The boxes are meant to hang or sit on a shelf, due to their design.

Interestingly, Sonic is the only one not in/on his vehicle. Notice the Shadow symbol in red on the fuel tank, it's a great detail and a cool touch to include this. This one was easy to choose as it is the iconic motorcycle first seen used in Shadow the Hedgehog (the game) It appears to be somewhat less detailed here than it was in the original game, but it still looks quite cool. For All-stars racing, they didn't need to come up with an all-new vehicle design. Jazwares didn't have anything to do with the design of the cars themselves, but they look pretty much game-accurate here.

The figure looks like it fits on there well too, and the gripping hands will surely help it. This vehicle is rather cool, with Knuckles inspired coloring, as well as continuing the metal theme from his shoes onto the wheel guards. Knuckles on his dune-buggy style off-road racer. This is the exact same 3 inch scale figure (as is on the individual line) but, the hands have been opened/re-sculpted so he can hold the steering wheel for driving action! This is a great touch to the line. Notice the tiny SonicTeam logo for the hood ornament. The car, of course, was designed in the game to resemble Sonic some-what, with over sized fins on the back (for the spikes) and a red theme to the wheels. The figure/vehicle combo toys feature a 3 inch scale figure that's fully posable, with hands that hold the steering device, as well as their real rolling vehicle they used in the game! The minis are much smaller, and have the figure fused to their vehicle. There are figures with vehicles, and mini racers. The game 'Sega All Stars Racing' features lots of famous Sega characters, so of course Sonic & the main cast would be included in the racing action! Jazwares made two styles of figures and vehicles to celebrate the release of the game. Jazwares Sonic All Stars Racing Figures & Cars
