With the highly anticipated release of "Sonic the Hedgehog 3" set for December 20, fans have the perfect opportunity to catch up on the franchise’s cinematic journey. ECNETNews reports that an exciting offer on the stunning Sonic the Hedgehog 2-Movie Limited-Edition Steelbook Box Set is now available for only $25.42, a significant drop from its original price of $52 when launched in November 2022.
After a surge in interest spurred by the release of the Sonic 3 trailer featuring Keanu Reeves as Shadow, this sought-after collection is back in stock following a temporary sellout. As the holiday season approaches, the Blu-ray editions of the first two films and Paramount’s Knuckles miniseries are expected to be popular gifts. Collectors should note that limited-edition sets often sell out quickly amid rising fandom, especially with "Knuckles" bridging the storyline between the second and third movies.
For those who want to experience the miniseries, it is available on Blu-ray for $29 in a limited edition and $21 for the standard version. This special set includes an oversized box containing steelbook cases for each title along with both 4K and standard Blu-ray formats, digital copies, and an array of special features. Highlights include a brand-new animated feature starring Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, along with commentary from director Jeff Fowler and Sonic’s voice actor, Ben Schwartz.
The first film follows Sonic as he teams up with Sheriff Tom Wachowski to thwart the evil Dr. Robotnik, while the sequel introduces beloved characters from the games, such as Miles "Tails" Prower and Knuckles the Echidna. In the upcoming third film, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles unite with Dr. Robotnik against Shadow the Hedgehog, reprising their respective roles.
Looking ahead, 2024 promises to be a momentous year with Shadow returning in "Sonic X Shadow Generations," set to release on October 25. This new game features a remaster of "Sonic Generations" alongside a fresh storyline focused on Shadow. Preorders for the physical edition come with a unique replica journal chronicling Shadow’s creation.
Moreover, on October 1, Shadow became the inaugural display model in Lego’s Sonic lineup, with a $70 Shadow the Hedgehog Lego bust featuring 720 pieces available exclusively at select retailers. He is also included as a minifigure in various playsets, underlining his significance within the franchise.
ECNETNews has compiled a list of additional deals on Sonic the Hedgehog Blu-rays, including standalone editions of the first two films and enticing offers on animated series collections, to help fans stay updated before the release of "Sonic 3."
For readers interested in diving deeper into the Sonic universe, IDW’s ongoing Sonic the Hedgehog comic series offers engaging stories, with a new box set compiling the first three volumes recently released.
