It was clear from the debut of Shadow the Hedgehog in the initial trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 that Sega’s villainous character might steal the show in the sequel. However, even fewer people could have foreseen that this would lead to a disruption in the production of the Build-a-Bear line based on Sonic 3, due to Shadow’s sudden popularity.
According to Kotaku, the collectible Build-a-Bear version of Shadow, as it turns out, is no longer available due to high demand. On eBay, prices for this item range from a minimum of $300 to an astonishing $1,500. Since Build-a-Bear continues to sell Sonic and Tails plushies for around $34 each, it appears that the Shadow Build-a-Bears have experienced significant price increases at the hands of speculators and resellers. The highest recorded sale on eBay for a Shadow Build-a-Bear so far is slightly over $600.
Shadow is currently absent from Build-a-Bear’s website, and it appears that the company does not intend to replenish stocks of this character. This decision seems unusual considering the obvious interest in Shadow Build-a-Bears. The only method to dampen the fervor of the secondary market for these toys would be by increasing production to meet the demand.
The Sonic the Hedgehog movie trilogy has just surpassed $1 billion in box office earnings, and Sonic 4 is scheduled for release in 2027. Jim Carrey has expressed his desire to reprise his role as Dr. Ivo Robotnik, while it’s expected that Keanu Reeves will return as Shadow. Late in the previous year, Reeves took on the role of Shadow once more in the Sonic x Shadow Generations DLC for Sonic 3 Movie Pack. Currently, Shadow has his own wireless Nintendo Switch controller available, which is less expensive than a custom-made Build-a-Bear version.
