Sadly, the United Kingdom released very few Sonic plush in the 90's, so this section is unfortunately very small. Nonetheless, these plush were very common in the 90's and a few British Sonic plush is better than none at all!

Sonic The Hedgehog & Tails Plush 1991 / 1992
The Sonic plush was released in 1991 to tie in with the hit Sonic the Hedgehog video game. I’m not 100% sure of his origin but I think he could be purchased in video game stores in the early 90’s, and possibly was a pre-order free gift. Sonic’s blue fur was made of a fluffy faux fur material, his peach body was made in velboa material, felt gloves, felt shoes, plastic eyes and the shoe strap was a ribbon.
The following year in 1992, Tails was introduced! Tails was made in a velboa material with felt gloves and shoes and plastic eyes.

Tomy Sonic The Hedgehog & Tails Plush 1991 / 1992
Tomy released their first Sonic plush in 1991! He could be purchased in Toy Stores such as Woolworths, Toys R Us, and even Argos in the early 90’s. The first version of Sonic was larger, with eyes spaced wide apart and admittedly, not as nice looking as the second version. He was made in velboa material with felt eyes and gloves and plastic eyes. He has 3 back quills instead of the usual 2.
In 1992, Tails was released! He was made of the same material as Sonic and looks very similar to the original 1992 Tails plush, only the Tomy Tails is a darker shade of orange and slightly smaller.
Tomy also released a Sonic suction cup variant! This Sonic plush is slightly smaller in size and they have fixed the wide set eyes, suction cup Sonic’s eyes are set in the right place.

PMS Sonic The Hedgehog Plush
Around 1997, PMS released a Sonic plush in 3 sizes- small, medium and large. They could be won out of claw machines in arcades. I can confirm this is true, because in 1998, I won a medium sized PMS Sonic plush out of a claw machine in my local arcade! They were made of very fluffy faux fur material, with felt eyes, gloves and nose. The peach fur and shoes are a velboa material and the straps of the shoes are ribbon, plastic eyes. They didn’t quite get the eyes right on these plush. The medium Sonic has eyes that are too small, and the large Sonic’s eyes are too big.
Around 1997, PMS also released a rather unique Sonic plush! This plush is small, and could be won in those smaller claw machines. He’s made in a crushed velvet material, plastic eyes and has string on his head to hang him.
