So I guess this British fashion label is doing a Sonic line now? Some of their stuff is kinda neat!



Mostly not though.

Either way it seemed like a good excuse to start a merch thread where we can post stuff everyone might be interested in or just old shit we've got lying around.

So post something, damn you!

I only got into collecting Sonic merchandise A few months ago. (Most of my Sonic stuff is just games and DVDs)
I got some Jazwares stuff, an Amiibo, and some shitty Boom toys. (Seriously, avoid the Boom toys. They're sloppily painted, and packaging is covered in cheap scotch tape. If you're looking for Sonic toys, stick with Jazwares.)

I noticed a company called Vandor is releasing some collectible glasses. Looks really nice.

Wow, can you believe this? Here's a fashion company that clearly gets it. Beneath the colorful and nostalgic characters, Sonic games are dead on the inside, mired in disillusionment and false hopes. Truly, this is Sonic the Hedgehog in 2016 in human form:

By the way if anyone is considering picking up those glasses, I was gifted a set of similar ones from Hot Topic (it may have been the same maker) a while back and the art was peeling away after only one wash (a hand wash, at that). I have other similar cups that have done fine (made by company called ToonLabSink), but it seems to me that products like this are really inconsistent in their quality. Looking at the reviews on amazon for the glassware versions it seems this Vandor set has the same problem. I'm kinda interested in the acrylic travel cup, though.

some of those sweaters look pretty cool. I just can't in good conscience pay prices for clothes with game characters on them. Must be getting old or something.

Aw, that's a shame. I wasn't going to drink out of them anyway, just keep them as a display piece.

I notice they make a lot of Sonic school supplies now. Would've loved to have things like this back when I was a kid.

In the UK, back in the '90s they had loads of Sonic school supplies. They even had Sonic duvets, pajamas, biscuits, sweets... It was endless.

A friend of mine just came back from Japan and said these "pinched" (as if they were being picked up by a UFO catcher or something) keychains and cell straps were all over the place. And there was a Sonic one, too. He didn't grab one for me, though!



There's Tails and Amy, too.
Ami Ami says it's a preorder but amazon.co.jp has them. Thinking about replacing the Sonic X one I've had on my bag for years, this one's way cuter.

Man, that Sonic keychain would make a hell of a Christmas tree ornament.

The Amy variation is really cute.

This is so up my alley, it's making walk funny.

Alright, yeah, those Batbots are deftly placed.
