Here's whats likely to be a trade publication ad from Toy Island. Trade publications aren't meant for general public use...so they're not that common. They have ads aimed just at retailers, suppliers & etc. It says "Guess who's running into you this fall" and "All new action figure line! It's about time!". It also has the 4Kids, VIZ & Sonic X logo with 2005 date for release. This is of course, the Mega Bot line, as you can see the mega bot back there, all assembled. (Mega Bot is on the Toy Island pages of SonicGear) However, you'll notice the figures have some differences from the release. Look at Shadow's wierd expression (final toy didn't have it). The Sonic looks ok (looking up) from this very low angled shot...too bad that's the only angle the figure looked good at. Knuckles looks similar to his MB release & the bot is appears totally unchanged. This is an interesting ad to spot the differences in.
