A Valentines Mug?
The Sega Shop thinks so in 2019. They had a previous one (seen on Page 13 here on Gear) which was "Heart Race", but this one has the new slogan "You Control My Heart". I guess if you decorate for Valentines day?
This all black ceramic mug has a design on one side only. It's running/pointing modern Sonic, with a blue/red heart background and some scattered pixels.
The slogan is behind his feet. Oddly, there's some random knockoff-looking controller pictured on the heart. Why bother doing this? Put classic Sonic & use a Genesis controller instead? It makes so much more sense to use an easily recognizable or fan-favorite controller on a mug instead of a generic looking nonsense one someone just made up off of clip art and pasted in to make 'it fit the slogan'. It's an ok idea, but it's surprising that the Sega Shop didn't bother to execute it very well, especially with something so easy as "Sonic and video games". This is 15 dollars in the Sega Shop in 2019. (The other mug was a 2018 item)
