Going Super – Funko Pop! Sonic the Hedgehog Super Sonic Glow in the Dark Review

June 2, 2026

There is Sonic the Hedgehog — the fastest thing alive, the blue blur, the hero of Mobius. And then there is Super Sonic — what happens when Sonic collects all seven Chaos Emeralds and transcends everything that makes him merely extraordinary. Golden fur. Red eyes. Absolute power. The ability to move faster than light itself. Super Sonic is one of gaming’s most iconic transformations — the moment in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (1992) when the final boss became not just beatable but utterly, gloriously dominated. The Funko Pop! Sonic the Hedgehog – Super Sonic Glow in the Dark Figure captures this legendary transformation in the most fitting format possible — a glow-in-the-dark figure that actually glows, bringing Super Sonic’s supernatural golden energy to life in the dark. At £42.00 with 5 in stock, it’s the premium Sonic collectible that serious fans of the franchise deserve.

Why Super Sonic Is One of Gaming’s Greatest Transformations

The super transformation is a staple of gaming — but Super Sonic was one of the first and remains one of the most iconic. Introduced in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 in 1992 as a secret final form unlocked by collecting all seven Chaos Emeralds, Super Sonic transformed the blue hedgehog into an invincible golden powerhouse — faster, stronger, and completely immune to damage. The visual impact was immediate and unforgettable: the golden fur, the spines pointing upward, the red eyes blazing with Chaos energy. Every Sonic game since has found ways to bring Super Sonic back — from the final boss of Sonic & Knuckles to the climax of Sonic Frontiers — because the transformation never loses its power to make players feel genuinely unstoppable.

Why Glow in the Dark Is Perfect for Super Sonic

Super Sonic radiates Chaos energy — the golden glow that surrounds him when he transforms is as much a part of the character as the golden fur itself. A glow-in-the-dark Super Sonic is not just a variant; it’s the definitive version. In a darkened room, a glowing Super Sonic captures exactly the energy of the transformation — the supernatural luminescence of a hedgehog who has gone beyond the limits of what any living creature should be capable of. It’s the format that makes the figure feel alive.

The Complete Sonic Premium Collection

Super Sonic at £42.00 is the premium centrepiece of a Sonic display that includes the Shadow with Dark Chao and Cream with Cheese Buddy figures — the ultimate life form, the most wholesome duo, and now the golden god of speed himself. Three figures, three completely different expressions of the Sonic universe, one extraordinary display.

🎮 4. Celebrating Sonic’s 35-Year Legacy

Sonic the Hedgehog debuted in 1991 and has never stopped running — 35 years of games, animations, films, and a fanbase that has followed the blue blur through every era of gaming. Super Sonic has been part of that journey since 1992, appearing in nearly every mainline Sonic game as the ultimate expression of the franchise’s power. The glow-in-the-dark Super Sonic Pop is a celebration of that extraordinary legacy — the golden form that has defined Sonic’s greatest moments for over three decades.

Is £42.00 Worth It? He’s Gone Super — Of Course It Is.

Premium glow-in-the-dark Funko figures typically retail for £30–£55.
