    3 pencil tin photos by SonicTeam
    All 3 of these are colored pencil sets inside of metal tins. Each was made by Tombo, and has 24 different colors inside. The corners all say 'press' (either in English or Japanese,depending which tin) The first 2 look very SA style, and were likely released soon after the game.…

Sonic mysterious book pages

Tags: Book Japan

Here are 4 very interesting pages out of a mysterious book. As you can tell with the numbers at the bottom, the book had many more pages. (this is page 48) But what book is it? The formatting is very curious, in that it is in English & Japanese too, so you can actually read about it. The first 2 pages describe how Sonic is "Saucy & Smart" as well as cute. The 2nd 2 pages confirm a height/design change between Sonic 1 and 2 (head to body ratio differed) and also confirms that Tails helped take over the "cuteness" role so that Sonic would remain Saucy/Cool and could afford to be less cute. (Makes sense) The Sonic 2 Japan box is designed with Pop Art in mind. It names the little animals too...all with a "Y" theme. Flicky, Rocky, Wookie, Picky, Tookie, Kookie, Lookie & Becky. (Lookie the eagle is rather appropriate) It also states how in Sonic 2, eggman has designed the robots to be tougher, in revenge against Sonic for the first game. The text is written from the art/designers perspective "I set it up to have clean lines & color graduation..." & etc, which is also interesting to see. If you know what book this is, please write in for credit!
