Toynami is an American-based toy company, founded in 2000. Toynami primarily focuses on anime licenses for specialty retailers and collectors in America. The company's name is a portmanteau of the words "toy" and "tsunami".
It was announced in 2016 that Toynami would be producing plushies and figures for the Sonic the Hedgehog × Sanrio collaboration.[1]

An advertisement for the crossover.
On July 22, 2016 at the Sonic 25th Anniversary Party, a special crossover for Sonic and Sanrio was announced. The collaboration consisted of the classic-styled versions of Sonic the Hedgehog characters Sonic, Tails, Amy and Knuckles mashed-up with Sanrio characters Hello Kitty, Chococat, My Melody and Badtz-Maru.
Toynami produced a range of Sonic the Hedgehog toys for the collaboration, such as 10 inch plushies and blind-box figures.[2]
