First 4 Figures has dropped a quick teaser for its next Sonic collectible, this time pulling from the open-zone design of Sonic Frontiers.
The studio shared a brief glimpse via the original announcement, showing the blue blur in a dynamic pose consistent with the game’s Starfall Islands setting. The tagline “Open zone, open wallet” suggests pricing will mirror the company’s premium tier, where $500 is often the starting line.
What the teaser shows — and hides
The image itself is tight on Sonic, omitting any base or environmental elements. That is standard for early First 4 Figures reveals, where final designs often include detailed dioramas. No scale was given, but the studio’s previous Sonic statues have ranged from 1/4-scale busts to massive 1/1 replicas.
Sonic Frontiers landed in 2022, so this statue arrives nearly four years after the game’s launch. That lag is typical for high-end video game collectibles, where licensing, sculpting, and manufacturing timelines stretch well beyond a game’s marketing window.
No pre-order window or price was announced. First 4 Figures typically opens pre-orders weeks or months after the initial tease, with production runs that can take over a year to ship.
The premium collectible landscape
First 4 Figures has built a reputation for premium, officially licensed gaming statues. Sonic the Hedgehog has been a recurring subject in its 25-year history, with pieces based on classic Genesis poses, Sonic Adventure, and now the Frontiers era. The studio’s output routinely crosses the $500 mark, and exclusive editions with LED effects or swap-out parts push even higher.
For Nintendo-platform collectors, Sonic Frontiers already spawned a decent range of merchandise, but a high-end statue fills a different niche. The game’s art direction — with its exaggerated, wind-swept quills and metallic shoes — translates naturally into a display piece.
First 4 Figures statues are not impulse purchases. The pre-order periods can last several weeks, and payment plans are often available. The finished products are limited to numbered runs and can appreciate on the secondary market.
GamerHeadlines Takeaway
This is an early signal that First 4 Figures’ Sonic Frontiers statue is moving forward, but right now there’s little to act on. Eyes will turn to the full reveal, likely accompanied by a limited-time pre-order window and a price tag that rewards long decision-making.
