A 30-year-old arcade fighter is getting a faithful figure tribute. Confirmed via Good Smile Company's official product listing and reported by Toy-People, the POP UP PARADE Sonic the Hedgehog: Sonic the Fighters Ver. releases November 2026 at 5,500 JPY, celebrating the 30th anniversary of SEGA's 1996 arcade fighting game.
This is a confirmed release with locked pricing, so here's what's included.
Good Smile Company's official product listing confirms the following:
Rather than sculpting Sonic in his usual smooth, modern proportions, this figure deliberately recreates the blocky, low-poly 3D look of the original 1996 arcade cabinet, giving collectors a genuinely retro-accurate piece rather than a standard contemporary Sonic figure with a Fighters-themed paint job.
Timing this figure to Sonic the Fighters' 30th anniversary rather than a more commonly celebrated Sonic milestone gives long-time arcade fans of the specific 1996 title a dedicated release, rather than folding the tribute into broader Sonic the Hedgehog anniversary merchandise.
For this polygon-styled figure, EVORETRO's acrylic modular case keeps it dust-free while preserving the retro aesthetic.
For an elevated retro-arcade-style display, EVORETRO's 4-step acrylic display stand adds shelf presence.
Approximately 14cm.
5,500 JPY.
Sonic the Fighters' 30th anniversary.
November 2026.
This POP UP PARADE Sonic the Fighters Ver. gives arcade Sonic fans a genuinely faithful, retro-accurate tribute figure for a 30-year milestone. With the pre-order window already closed, it's worth watching for restocks ahead of the November release.
Having a case and stand ready means this polygon-era Sonic will be display-ready the moment he arrives.
