Sonic Comic Book Packs

The Sonic Comic Book Packs are a line of specially packaged editions of the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog titles released by Jazwares. The packs are essentially certain comic issues packaged with two figures from Jazwares Sonic the Hedgehog 3-inch line.

Overview
The line was launched in 2009, not long after Jazwares had acquired the rights to produce Sonic the Hedgehog merchandise, beginning with a specially packaged edition of #200, the first of which was advertised in Sonic #202. The figures packaged with the issue can sometimes be of characters prominent to the issue in question, with other instances being characters that do not even appear at all. The figures are from Jazwares existing 3-inch line, which only contain figures of the Sega video game characters, with no immediate plans to produce figures of Archie characters. Some figures are identical to their original single-pack versions, while some are introduced through the packs themselves before being repackaged as a single at a later date, or in some cases, even a variant of an existing figure. The line was initially exclusive to US Toys R Us stores, but this exclusive label has since been lifted, allowing for distribution in other stores, both nationally and internationally.
