Sonic the Hedgehog toys get all the hype from fans of all ages. Some Sonic toys are easier to find, while others are so rare they cost a small fortune on eBay. However, one type of Sonic toy is extra special: plushies.
Tons of plushies of Sonic and friends (or enemies) are out in the world, waiting to be added to your growing collection of Sonic merch, from most common to ultra rare. For the sake of your wallet, we’ve narrowed it down to five Super Sonic, super-soft options. Here are the best types of Sonic plushies we found in 2025.
Tails Squishmallow

24
Complete with Tails’ iconic two tails.
Squishmallows are the most popular brand of plushies and Sonic and his friends have been mallow-fied to perfection. However, of all the Sonic characters in the collection, we’re nominating Tails for best Sonic Squishmallow. What makes the Tails Squishmallow design even better than the rest is he actually has his signature twin tails. While the Tails version is our favorite, you can also get Sonic, Knuckles, and Shadow as a Squishmallow. The latest Shadow version is a great option if you just finished watching the latest movie.

The most accurately designed Shadow plush you can find on the market.
The Shadow the Hedgehog plush from Great Eastern Entertainment is the most accurately designed Shadow plush you can find on the market. The curves on his spiky hair stand upright as they would when he’s idle, and his air shoes are incredibly detailed, down to the last hole in the soles. In addition to being an excellent plush for anyone’s Sonic toy collection, you can take this Shadow plush to any anime convention, or just sit him on your couch to watch Sonic 3.

A mini version of an ultra-rare character.
The large Hero Chao plush from the Sonic Adventure 2 line of plushies has become a rare and expensive item for Sonic fans to get their hands on, but Great Eastern Entertainment has you covered with the smaller 6-inch Hero Chao plush. This plush is designed after the Hero Chao model on the Sonic Adventure 2: Battle cover art, with its arms folded together in front, and has a string that you can hang from anywhere for easy display.

Get cozy with Sonic’s giant head.
Show off the Sonic the Hedgehog’s giant head with the Club Mocchi-Mocchi- Sonic the Hedgehog plush. Mocchi-Mocchi- are plush pillow heads originating from Japan that are designed to be twice as soft, squishy, and huggable as Squishmallows are. The only difference is that Sonic’s facial features and his trademark hairdo are designed with a little more accuracy to his features in-game. Use it as your pillow at night and have sweet dreams of running through Green Hill Zone.
Where Is the Best Place to Buy Sonic Plushies?
Unlike Pokemon plush toys, three isn’t a Sonic-specific retailer where you can buy all of the various plushies available. Because of that, the overall best place to buy Sonic the Hedgehog plushies online is through Amazon. You can also find Sonic plushies for sale at Target, Walmart, and even GameStop, but the lowest prices and greatest variety appears to be on Amazon in 2025.
