Merlin All over Sonic mug

Here is a very detailed & fun mug!
It's a ceramic mug with an all-over design. And it means "All Over"! Even the interior is decorated for more fun with Sonic.

The theme is quite curious unless you know why the mug was made. It uses all modern CG art for the exterior designs, including rings. You've got running Sonic & standing gesturing/Sonic with a column of scattered CG rings. The background is a pale blue grid with darker blue squares.All the Sonic images are slightly raised & textured. But what's that at the rim? The interior is all red & has the modern logo at one side of the top interior. However, on the bottom of the mug is the old Sonic Spinball logo.
Why? It's a souvenier from the UK area Sonic themed/dedicated rollercoaster at Alton Towers "The Sonic Spinball"! (This coaster & its accompanying Sonic statue can be seen on Gear) Because it was made as an attraction item, that's why you get a classic game logo paired with modern art. It's a great mug with loads of detail. This is the first known Sonic item made by the company "Merlin Entertainment", that's got the copyright info there on the bottom of the mug.
