Summary

It might have been a while sinceSonicwent toe-to-toe withMarioto try and sell consoles, but the hedgehog didn’t simply disappear whenNintendoemerged victorious from that particular era of the eternal console war. The blue blur is arguably bigger today than he has ever been between movies that make hundreds of millions at the box office and his own range of action figures, one of which is heavily discounted onAmazonright now.

Sonic’s Death Egg playset is one of the more elaborate in the hedgehog’s action figure collection and usually costs $44.99. However, a limited-time deal available on Amazon brings the price of the set down to less than $10. $9.86 to be exact, and while there’s no indication of how long the set will be available for less, or if Amazon has limited stock that might run out now that the set is on sale for so little, it’s probably safe to assume this set won’t be available for almost 80 percent off for long.

Sonic The Hedgehog Death Egg Playset

The Death Egg set is a recreation of a Sonic boos fight against his nemesis, Dr. Robotnik brought to life. Trapped inside the Death Egg, the toy Sonic can slide along the tracks running around it, and it’s up to you to time the hedgehog’s attacks so that he strikes Roboktnik at the heart of the set. Hit Eggman enough times and the Death Egg will explode, or fall to pieces in this case, as Sonic speeds away to safety. It can then be rebuilt so the battle can begin again with the same results, similar to what Robotnik has been doing in the games for the past 30 years.

Take Down The Death Egg For Less Than $10

Sonic The Hedgehog Death Egg Playset

Sonic’s Death Egg playset takes a Dr. Robotnik boss fight and turns it into a toy. The running Sonic action figure can slide around the set’s tracks, leaving them to accurately strike Eggman in the middle enough times to destroy the Death Egg.

Sonic’s Death Egg set goes on sale a lot, but almost a year on from its release, this is the first time its price has dropped below $10. Even with Prime Day on the horizon, there’s no guarantee this set will ever be available for so little again. Even if it’s a set you or the little ones you’re buying it for use it a few times, get bored, and then rebuild it again in six months when you rediscover it, I’d say $9.86 is still more than worth it.

Sonic action figures have been talked about more than usual the last few days, and not just because one that puts a Robotnik boss fight in your own home is available for less than $10. Sonic toys based on the way the characters look and what they’ll be up to inSonic the Hedgehog 3, hitting cinemas this December, were revealed, and the Shadow figure in the setmay have revealed what the hedgehog will look like in the movie.
