The company that has emerged to compete with Toy Network is called "Great Eastern".
As you can see, they seem to be doing a better job with their plushes, as this Shadow shows. He has 5 fingers, and does not look mutated or mushy. The detail seems to be there, but this is just a product photo. If someone who owns this writes in, SonicGear will show more angles or close-ups so you can inspect the quality from this new company...

You can get this (and other plushes at) www.toycup.com if you search on "Sonic"
