    Old-Style Amy keychain. It looks like she snaps onto that blue base, and also comes with a card of some kind. But what is that gray thing above her head? The base looks like it has a name plaque, much like the later Sonic Adventure selection seen below. There's also…

Here is the store poster for Sonic Pocket Adventure game.
It's for the "Neo Geo Pocket Color", which was a portable game system that didn't really succeede for that long. The poster is a little confusing too. It shows SA1 wierd walking Sonic, but then look at the screen shots they show you in the bottom right: Those are Sonic 2 things, like the half-pipe special stage.

The headline up there (can't read it) may explain it a little bit, but it may not be a wonder it wasn't a success if it says Pocket Adventure, cribs the SA1 logo, uses SA1 art, and then delivers Sonic 2 looking content. (Remember, this was 1999 when it came out, Sonic going into "3d" instead of side-scrolling was a big deal then) The game itself WAS a success, as critics rated it really well. It used elements like music & style from earlier Sonic games, had a vs. race mode (link cable) & a few puzzles too. This poster is an interesting relic of the old system.
