You are right. I do mostly care about official. Though I do like making my own sonic things every once in a while. I made my own Sonic book mark for instance.


I wouldn't know how to make a Bean Bag anyway.

To be honest, if I don't have the money to buy something like the Tails statue, well I'm not going to fawn and whine over how I don't have itLooks good yeah, but...argh...

Just something I need to get off.

Not sounding good for Sega Studios Austrialia...to be honest, I didn't believe SEGA's Aussie department had that much say in major production. Sounds stupid but can't think of how I wanted this to sound.

Not really surprising as they weren't really doing much other than the upcoming Olympic game

Interesting.

Seems Sega Studios Australia is coming more and more into the news.

Maybe it's not much of a stranded place after all, though the news are pretty shit.

So SEGA's mascot was at the International Toy Fair in the form of array of figures on display, and wow, isn't this a find?

METAL SONIC PLUSHIE.

As a rabid Sonic fan that needs to be put down for the good of humanity, all of this stuff makes me foam at the mouth.
