You can buy these where now?
I so want them all. They’re going along my Genesis for sure (The Knuckles especially looks awesome)

Well sega remebers how cool sonic was in the good ol days.

Sega isn’t making these, you would have known that if you read the story.

Well at least SOMEONE remebers

I’m so glad they’re taking the classic design with things.

Classic here and classic there. The new Sonic is still the best. But I stilll want this things! They are so cute! But I won’t buy it. I buy the games instead, much more clever.
