Unknown line
For now, we do not know what line this all silver version belongs to. Only two examples of this figure are known and they are both loose.This figure only has shoulder articulation so it is an earlier generation version. For now, we will leave it with Sonic Man until we hopefully find more information at a later date.

Unknown line
Talk 'N Walk Soma robot. Silver version will belong to the same Soma line as the figure above.

Sonic Man
Mini figure box. Only known example of the Sonic Man mini figure box.
However, it is possible/probable that someone swapped out the real mini figures and simply put in the wrong Robot Warrior figures. Logically it doesn't make sense to have Robot Warrior figures in this box. Note a real looking Sonic Man mini figures used on the digital watches below.
