Toy Island Manufacturing Co. Ltd. is an American toy company founded in 1992. From 2000 to 2006, they produced various Sonic the Hedgehog toys, most of them being for Sonic Adventure and Sonic X.

Sonic Adventure (2000)

Shortly after ReSaurus, Toy Island released their own line of Sonic Adventure toys.

Figures

Action Figures

This basic 5-inch series of action figures is the main focus of the Toy Island line. The figures of Sonic, Tails and Knuckles were not received quite as well as the ReSaurus figures of them, due to Sonic and Knuckles having heads that were a little strange in shape. Tails' body was very large and chubby in comparison to the other characters, and his expression was considered by many consumers to be "goofy." This series did, however, release well-received sculpts of Big the Cat and Robotnik. These figures came with accessories such as Chaos Emeralds, real metal Rings and many of the figures came with miniature sidekicks, such as Tails, who came with a Chao, Dr. Robotnik had Kiki, and Big the Cat had Froggy and a fishing pole.

The figures had magnetic shoes so that they could run over the Rings, making it look like they are collecting them. Big also had a magnet in his fishing rod.

Collectible Talking Action Figures

Toy Island released three 10-inch talking figures which were similar in sculpt to the 5-inch figures, but were not quite as misshapen. They each could speak two lines extracted from the Sonic Adventure video game.

Character	Highlights	Lines
Sonic the Hedgehog	Talking Blue display stand 5 points of articulation	Line 1: "Ah yeah! This is happening!" Line 2: "Ready to roll, champ? Let's go!"

Bendable Action Figures

A set of 3-inch bendy figures were available individually of Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Big and Dr. Robotnik. A four-pack was available which included Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy. A second four-pack of Sonic, Dr. Robotnik, E-102 Gamma and Big the Cat was advertised, as well as an individual release of E-102 Gamma, but both were never released.

Stationery

Back of the card

Some stationery supplies were available with the appearance of characters from the game such as Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Chao as 3D erasers, and Knuckles as a pencil sharpener. The pencil sharpener was part of a set including a stapler, tape dispenser, and tape measure, but only the pencil sharpener was released despite the back of the card depicting the full set.

Sonic X (2004-2006)

After Sonic X made its debut in the US, Toy Island began releasing action figures based on the series. Many of their figures were re-releases from their Sonic Adventure series, just in new Sonic X packages. Many new sculpts were also released.

Action figures with accessories

After Sonic X aired in the United States, Toy Island re-released their Sonic Adventure action figures in new Sonic X packaging. The sculpts were altered—Sonic and Knuckles' heads were fixed, the magnets in the shoes were removed and many of the accessories were discontinued—no more Kiki or Chao, however, most of Big the Cat's accessories remained. Dr. Robotnik was relabled to "Dr. Eggman". The figures were at some point released in Japan by Kid Galaxy, and later distributed by Feva in the United Kingdom, Grand Toys in Canada, and MacDue in Italy.

Character	Accessories	Highlights
Sonic	2 Chaos Emeralds	5 points of articulation
Tails	2 Chaos Emeralds Detachable tails	Wind up, spinning tails 5 points of articulation (6 including tails)
Knuckles	2 Chaos Emeralds	4 points of articulation
Big	2 Chaos Emeralds Fishing Pole Froggy	5 points of articulation
Dr. Eggman	2 Chaos Emeralds	6 points of articulation

Classic figure series

The 5-inch Sonic Adventure figures were re-released this time with each character coming with a small keychain of themselves, except Dr. Eggman who came with Cheese. Big the Cat no longer came with Froggy.

Character	Accessories	Highlights
Sonic the Hedgehog	Chaos Emerald Sonic Keychain	5 points of articulation
Tails	1 Chaos Emerald Detachable tails Tails Keychain	Wind up, spinning tails 4 points of articulation (5 if you count tails)

Action Figures with Chaos Emeralds

Series 2 of the Sonic X figures were all new sculpts of new characters. They were sculpted based on their Sonic X character artwork. Each figure came with two Chaos Emeralds, except Cream, who came with Cheese and one emerald. These figures were well received and were considered an improvement over the first wave.

Megabot Series 1

The completed RBX-D05 figure

The Sonic X Megabot series is a set of six figures, five of which each come with a piece of the a robot's body. When the five figures are collected, they can assemble the pieces and have a completed Megabot figure. RBX-D05 was the name advertised for the Megabot figure and was scheduled to appear in Sonic X, but didn't make the final cut and only appeared in the original pilot. The sixth figure in this series is a second Sonic in a different pose, which comes with a gunner bot and a big spring loaded "X" from the show's logo. The figures were based off the artwork for the show.

The figures of the line were later re-released, having updated and improved sculpts. Eventually, they replaced Amy with yet another Sonic, this time he didn't have a new pose but came with Amy's part. This could be due to the incorrect color of her arms on both releases.

Line-up

Character	Accessories	Highlights
Sonic the Hedgehog	Large spring loaded letter X Gunner Robot	7 points of articulation
Sonic the Hedgehog	Megabot head and torso	7 points of articulation
Miles "Tails" Prower	Megabot Leg	8 points of articulation

Space Fighter Shadow	Space Fighter Shadow (revised)	Space Fighter Robot (E-23 Missile Wrist)

Metal Force

Four Metal Force figures were released. These were repaints of the Space Fighters figures, but without the helmets, and Missile Wrist was excluded.

Metal Force Knuckles	Metal Force Shadow

Super Posers

Back of the packaging.

Two six-inch action figures of Sonic and Shadow were released, each having twenty-five points of articulation. This made them the most articulated Sonic action figures by Toy Island and the most articulated Sonic action figures to date.

Tails and Knuckles were planned for this line as seen in prototype pictures of all four characters, but only Sonic and Shadow made it to final production. Initial releases of the Sonic and Shadow figures had their eyes angled, but later releases fixed this issue.

These action figures were later re-released by Jazwares, and the articulation style was used as the basis for all of their action figures. Jazwares eventually released their own original sculpts of Super Poser Tails and Knuckles, but continued to use the sculpts by Toy Island for the Super Poser Sonic and Shadow re-releases until the end of their license with the series.

10-inch Figures

The 10-inch Sonic Adventure talking action figures were re-released in Sonic X packaging. The three figures no longer talked, but still had the buttons on their feet.

In the UK, the figures were released by FEVA and contain working voice boxes. The figures now have lines from Sonic X instead of Sonic Adventure.

Bendable action figures

The Sonic Adventure 3-inch bendable action figures were re-released individually in Sonic X packaging, and one new figure was added, being Shadow.

The Sonic, Tails, Amy and Knuckles figures were also available in box packs with three Chaos Emeralds, and possibly one other character. One of the box packs contained an exclusive golden Sonic, which was not available individually. It was just a repainted Sonic, and not Super Sonic, however. Other releases of this pack swapped this figure for Dr. Eggman or Shadow.

The figures were released in Japan. The Japan releases consist of a box set featuring Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy and single card versions of them. Interestingly, the single card versions come with a couple of Chaos Emeralds and the back of the single card versions boxes have the images of the 4 inch figures of Sonic, Tails and Knuckles.
