This seems like it could be another Pirates of the Caribbean situation where there was very little merchandise for the first movie because companies underestimated how popular it would be and made up for it by unleashing a tidal wave of products for the sequel. That isn't to say that there are no Sonic toys on the market as is but he's pretty underrepresented compared to Mario or even Minecraft and Fortnite merchandise in more recent years.

No he has just as many toys as those franchises they just didn’t think the movie would do good. I always said mario may be popular but sonic has a more passionate fanbase.
 
Perhaps, especially since Lego just revealed its doing Lego Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog™ – Green Hill Zone 21331 | Ideas | Buy online at the Official LEGO® Shop CA

Yes but this is for the game franchise, and Sonic has had LEGOs before with LEGO Dimensions.

Sonic the Hedgehog has a lot of toys and merchandise in general. As for lack of movie product, it was probably better to be cautious, especially with all the last-minute changes to Sonic's look in the film.

As I recall, Detective Pikachu the movie didn't get a ton of merchandise despite Pokemon being merchandise'ed out the wazoo. Doesn't seem like there's going to be a sequel either. The movie didn't do great, but it didn't bomb either.
 
I honestly think they should have never done a Pokémon movie around detective pikachu of all things. Nobody cares about a detective style pokemon movie they wanted ash and the tournament’s and everything the game and anime represented. To my knowledge the detective pikachu game didn’t even do great in Japan or the us .
 
It did well in the US (144.1 M), and worldwide (433M) just not gangbusters for its budget.

The Marketing is starting to ramp a bit sooner than expected. IGN is doing something Sonic Movie 2 related on the 19th so we may get a new tailer within the next week or so.
 
What's going on? So much stuff skipping the Super Bowl?
Disney - Lightyear
Universal - Jurassic World: Dominion
Paramount - Sonic 2
 
Sonic calls Knuckles "The Winter Soldier"

SO I guess this makes Sonic Cap and Tails Falcon.

The Sonic MCU begins.
