Next week is an auspicious occasion, marking 20 years since the very first Sonic the Hedgehog blast processed his way into our lives, and SEGA wants to commemorate its hero's two decades of running with a limited edition figurine.
The numbered 1,000 model run is so exclusive it won't even be sold in shops, and will likely be used as promotional items and giveaways to Sonic's most ardent fans. Either that or they'll sit on the desks of top SEGA executives to stop their papers flying away. One of the two.
Two versions will be made with differing box art displayed in the monitors, though our in-house Sonic expert tells us the cover art displayed in the European model is in fact the Japanese box art.
Sonic's official 20th anniversary is next Thursday, 23rd June. How will you celebrate?

"The numbered 1,000 model run is so exclusive it won't even be sold in shops".
$_$'
SEGA, don't do this to us the fans
I want. I want. NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But unless it's like $10 I won't be able to afford it. Damn you, Sega!!! Don't torture us!
@amerilia $10? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHAAAAAAAAA
Oh, the anniversary is next week? I guess we will get our first Sonic Game Gear game on the VC next Thursday.
Also, those figures are going to make someone rich on ebay.
Ooh, they look awesome
I'm downloading all Sonic games on VC, finishing the horrid Sonic Unleashed, and buying several Sonic GCN games. Wish me luck.
@AmerilIa $10? If it was sold in stores it would likely be close to the $300-$400 range. They'll likely be around $500 if they're sold on eBay.
I'll celebrate by getting sonic colors! I really hope it's actually good, i'm a huge sonic fan but not recently, i've played the new games but mehh
I wonder if James will squeeze into that list.... maybe PeteDorr of YouTube fame.
they are probably like 30 bucks
I smell a NL contest...
Oooooooooh......Pretty....
I don't want this, I need this! D:
omg , omg , OMIGOSH!!!! I, I , AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!
THESE ARE NEEDED IN MY LiFe!!!!!!!!!!
2 bad they aren't bought in shops =_=
I want!
Looking good! Too bad it will cost a lot of Rings - I mean - money...
Uhm, they should have this as a pre-order bonus with Sonic Generations- not this silly nonsense.
I'll catch a living hedgehog, colour him blue and give him a lot of coffeine to make him run really fast.
He should be happy about being made into a really cool hedgehog, right?
Or i will just dowload a Sonic game on the 3DS' VC if they decide to release a good one.
"Sonic's official 20th anniversary is next Thursday, 23rd June. How will you celebrate?"
By crying a lot since Sega kicks Nintendo fans in the balls by never releasing the real Sonic Generations on a Nintendo device!
Guess I'm going to play through all three classic sonic games next Thursday, gotta celebrate with the best!
I'd love one, I'm gonna to celebrate Sonic being 20 by downloading the Mega drive game on one my Wii's!!. I'm hoping Sega will cut the price of this title, So I'm going to wait and see till next friday to download,
@jer18 Let me tell you, if we manage to snag one of these beauties a competition will be the last thing on our minds!
Ooh yes, I can celebrate by playing Sonic Colours which I recently bought and expect to come next week!
im gonna get one of those : o~
Meh.
Dang, I want one of those... Just wish I knew where to find one! >_< And I'll probably celebrate by completing Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing 100% and by playing every single Sonic game I own.
