Description
How fast can you go with the Sonic Speed R/C? Recreate the action from the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movie as Sonic races to save the world and confront Robotnik! This R/C includes a six-inch scale detachable Sonic figure, R/C rider, and ring controller. The controller is inspired by Sonic’s rings from the movie and has 3 buttons for total control: go forward, turn and 360-degree spins, and Turbo mode that lights the wheels up for that extra boost! Sonic Speed R/C is approximately 1:5 scale with design inspired by the movie. The removable Sonic figure is over 6-inches tall and has 13 points of articulation for awesome poses. Take your R/C and have fun on the go! This R/C requires 8 AA batteries. The included batteries are only for try-me purposes and need to be replaced with new batteries. Alkaline batteries are recommended for best performance. With new batteries this RC has a range of 100 feet and works best on flat and smooth surfaces. It uses a 2.4GHz frequency. Adult supervision required. Some children will need assistance with assembly.

Looks like it should be fun, but it does require a lot of batteries and Sonic’s head broke off during first use!! Gluing it back on ended up not being a viable option.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While I will say my child loves this sonic rc toy, it is a bit much as far as batteries are concerned! It literally takes 8 AA batteries! That's a lot of batteries between the sonic thing itself and the ring controller. But other than the excessive amount of batteries it's a cute little rc toy! I love the details on sonic also. It gets going pretty good and you can also press q button on the ring controller for a turbo burst. The rc sonic itself is pretty solid build wise. But the ring controller is a bit on the lighter side. I feel like the plastic would break after a couple accidental drops on the hardfloor or pavement. Overall nice toy

The arm broke after one play. And batteries died within just 15 minutes of playing with it and that was with new batteries. Has a weird wire hanging out of the ring, I don’t know what it’s for.

if i could put zero stars i would. negative stars. only connects occasionally just enough for your kid to like it and harass you to fix it the other 9/10 times the remote does nothing. but this only if you're trying to punish your kid and yourself

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The sonic remote control toy was easy to unpack. It is small enough to store away for using in the future. It was really fast to use inside, so this ended up being an outside toy for our house. My son loved being able to control the sonic with the round handle

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 4 year old uses Sonic 2 remote control toy EVERYDAY and loves it!! The remote controller was very easy to install/put together and use right out of the package. The gold ring is so different from any other typical remote control car, which makes the toy so much better. The Sonic 2 remote control is made so well and able to withhold any abuse a toddler gives it. This toy provides hours and hours of fun. Only down fall is we have to change the batteries often.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This toy is great for your little ones. We play with it together as a family. The kids have a blast making it go all over the house. The wheel lights ups and it looks so cool. It’s made up of high quality material. I would definitely recommend this toy!

Frustrated Mom - 3 months ago
Worked for 10 minutes after taken out of the box with "sample" batteries and the cord removed. Replaced with fresh batteries and now the ring controller just blinks. And yes I've done the off and on approach multiple times. Useless toy, wish I had seen the reviews earlier. My son is so disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] appearance, this toy is awesome. it shows that it goes super fast. out of the box, the control and the car are connected and there isn’t much leeway so in all it’s really to much of no use because they’re so close together. it could be a super fun toy but since there’s a cord that’s eliminates it.

Arm broke off within 5 minutes. Takes 8 AA batteries that do not come with it. Crazy for the price! My son was so excited and quickly disappointed when the arm broke off 5 minutes later.
