Well, Jakks Pacific has gone and made Cheese the Chao but...
Why do this expression? This is either 'oh no' or 'crying chao' expression...but there's the red bow tie so it has to be Cheese. In this case he happens to be among their stylized classic Sonics, though he doesn't belong there as Chao is not from the classic era. It seems like an odd choice to make a chao with a not that broad-appeal expression and then just have it by itself or with classic stuff that doesn't make sense. Why not do Cream? Why not do other chao that were popular like a hero or a dark? Save the expressions-faces for later releases to keep people buying more chaos. It's still decently done though, with all embroidered details, 3D bow tie, & the yellow tips for the arms/feet & head ball. This is seen at Books A Million but it is also supposed to be at Target in winter 2021.
