Photo lovingly ripped from ebayLike Metal Sonic, the first series are Toyr R Us exclusives. Unlike Metal Sonic, they can be found in stores and have yet to hit the online shop. Each figure goes for a reasonable $9.99 each. My take: I think they look alright, but I don't think I'll be buying them. The face sculpts look a bit too extreme and "Sonic X"-ish. I also don't like that they all look like they spotted a penny on the floor. You'll notice Sonic has a "shine" on the top of his head, like a light blue paint roller ran across his forehead. Besides the wonky look to their faces, the paint/print job itself is lovely and they look to be just as quality a product as the Metal Sonic.
The prototypes clearly had more of a neck and were looking upwards.
Internet rumors speculate that Series 2 will contain Amy, Silver, and Metal Sonic. I'd take this with a grain of salt, as Metal Sonic has already been released. Unless a variaton is made, or the exclusiveness of the SDCC figure is to be dissolved, I suspect we'll be seeing Tails and Blaze rounding out the four. I'll admit, when I read "Silver" I got excited for the Sonic 2 boss, only to realize they were talking about the Sonic '06 Silver the Hedgehog. C'est la vie!
In other news: Metal Sonic has returned to the Toys R Us online store! Get him while you can!

Yeah, they don't looks quite right to me with their heads lowered down like that, and their eyes look a bit odd. I did like Metal Sonic one, though.
Knuckles looks like he's been comically punched in the face only to be left with his mouth caved into the back of his head.
Or he ate a really sour lemon, and his mouth sucked inwards.
