Nightmare fuel: ad agency Hamagami/Carroll Inc. has published what appears to be the final design of Sonic for his silver-screen debut, and according to most fans, it’s every bit as disappointing as the teaser posters hinted at. One complaint is that the blue blur’s body appears far too human, highlighting the uncomfortable fact he’s a naked hedgehog. Creator Yuji Naka thinks it sucks, and fans have been busy sharing better edits.
By 2019 standards, the face isn’t terrible! But the whole thighs/hips region is very uncomfortable to look at. It doesn’t look like HCI were responsible for the redesign of the character himself; their work is detailed as having been tasked with producing a new universal packaging and marketing scheme, where all the different “types” of Sonic—like “Classic Sonic, Modern Sonic, Film Sonic [and] Animation Sonic”—can be presented the same way.
