I got my first real game system back in the 90's when Sonic 2 for Genesis first came out; it came as a bundle pack with the system, and I friggen' loved it! So a couple of weeks ago, when I stumbled across these amazing plushies of the various item boxes from the game (the style matches both Sonic 1 and 2), I knew I had to have one. Or two, as the case may be.
They're made by , and were very reasonably priced. At 4.5" (11.5cm) wide x 5.5" (14cm) tall x 3.5" (9cm) deep, they hold their shape and compliment my growing collection of video game paraphernalia quite nicely . Aside from the Extra Life (left) and 10-Ring (right) boxes, she offers the Bubble Shield, Speed Shoe, and Invincibility power-ups (see her original posting here).
My only real criticism is the stick-on buttons don't stick to the fabric very well; a few had already fallen off inside the packaging (and were subsequently almost thrown out) when they arrived. I'm trying to figure out a good fabric glue that'll be long-lasting without looking sloppy (any suggestions?)
Stop over and git' you one while she's still making them!
