One of Sonic Adventure's most requested characters is finally getting figure treatment. Confirmed via Jakks Pacific's official Sonic 35th Anniversary product line, the Chaos with Chao 4-inch figure arrives as part of Wave 24, marking the first-ever standalone figure of Chaos 0.
This is a confirmed release with a locked format, so here's what's included.
Jakks Pacific's official Sonic 35th Anniversary line confirms the following:
Chaos has been one of Sonic Adventure's most iconic antagonists since the game's 1998 release, so Jakks Pacific finally producing a dedicated standalone figure closes a long-standing gap that Sonic collectors have flagged across nearly three decades of merchandise.
Including a Chao alongside the Chaos figure ties directly into Sonic Adventure's Chao Garden mechanic, giving the set built-in narrative context rather than shipping Chaos as an isolated figure disconnected from the game it originates from.
For displaying the figure and Chao accessory together, EVORETRO's acrylic modular case keeps the set protected and organized.
For giving Chaos standout shelf presence within a larger Sonic collection, EVORETRO's acrylic display risers add visual separation.
Sonic the Hedgehog has been merchandised continuously since 1991, and finding a character that has genuinely never received a standalone figure this deep into the franchise's history is unusual. That rarity gives this Chaos release a different kind of significance than a typical wave addition, since it closes a specific, long-documented gap rather than simply adding another variant of an already well-represented character.
Chaos appears in several forms throughout Sonic Adventure as it absorbs Chaos Emeralds and grows more powerful, and Jakks Pacific choosing the earlier Chaos 0 form for this debut figure, rather than a later, more elaborate transformation, gives the sculpt a simpler, more recognizable silhouette that's likely to read clearly at 4-inch scale, and leaves later forms open as potential future variants within the same line.
Bundling a Chao with the figure isn't a generic add-on; the Chao Garden raising mechanic was one of Sonic Adventure's most distinctive systems, and Chaos itself is directly tied to Chao lore within the game's story. Including the accessory gives the set a built-in connection to that mechanic rather than pairing Chaos with an unrelated prop.
Reaching a 24th wave within the 35th Anniversary line shows Jakks Pacific has sustained a consistent release cadence for Sonic figures well past the anniversary year itself, and slotting a genuinely new character into that deep a wave number suggests the line still has meaningful gaps left to fill despite its length.
Many "first-ever" collectibles carry a premium price reflecting their novelty, but Jakks Pacific pricing this Chaos figure at standard mainline retail keeps it accessible to casual collectors and completionists alike, rather than treating the character's debut as a premium event release.
If a character as prominent as Chaos went unreleased as a standalone figure for nearly three decades, it raises the question of which other significant Sonic Adventure-era characters remain uncovered, giving collectors reason to watch upcoming waves for additional overdue figures rather than assuming the roster is close to complete.
Jakks Pacific's 35th Anniversary line has periodically closed similar long-standing gaps for other Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 characters as the wave has progressed, and this Chaos figure fits that same pattern of the line gradually working through a backlog of requested characters rather than sticking strictly to mainline Sonic and Tails-style releases. For collectors who track these Adventure-era additions specifically, Wave 24 continuing that trend is a signal the line still has appetite for deeper cuts from the franchise's back catalog rather than settling into a rotation of only the most obvious characters.
Yes, this is the character's first-ever standalone figure.
A Chao.
$9.99.
35th Anniversary Wave 24.
Jakks Pacific's 35th Anniversary figures, including this release, are typically sold as individually carded figures within numbered waves rather than boxed sets.
This Chaos with Chao figure gives Sonic Adventure fans a genuinely overdue addition to their collections. Picking it up at retail price is worth doing before resale markups take hold given the character's first-release status.
Having a case and risers ready means the figure will be properly displayed alongside the rest of a Sonic collection.
