    This black tee may be an exlcusive to FYE stores. It's nicely designed though, with good big graphics for Sonic & Shadow. It uses the newer 2011 art for both of them, in some kind of dynamic gesture pose. The text says "Sonic Sonic the Hedgehog" in Japanese, but this…

Giant wind powered Sonic

This wind powered 3D giant character is 6 ft. high! It was found outside retail stores around the time of Sonic 2-3. Only 2 or 3 are thought to be in existance. Photo by Justin Todd.

You have probably seen similar wind-powered characters on people's lawns for the holidays (Halloween Xmas) but once, they weren't so common. (in the 1990s)

So while this one isn't as sophisticated as some are today, keep in mind its age, and that the whole thing keeps its shape by the power of a fan. Here, Sonic sits on a spring to advertise the store. The likeness is pretty good for something powered by wind, like a small parade float! What a unique and interesting thing to have in a collection! Super rare too, it's cool to see.
