This Sonic figure/statue is a Wiimote charger. However, it's not just any charger, it's an inductive charger. That means you don't have to plug the battery packs in to get it to work. Easy access! Just lay the wiimotes on top to charge. The base is made to resemble GreenHill style, with the checkered base & green top. The front has a modern Sonic logo, and the figure is fully 3D. It looks well sculpted, & is a nice size too! This is a fun & functional figure to collect. This should be around $49.99, (Limited! Hurry!).
At right, you can see what it looks like in the box. It's got the 20th Anniversary celebration sticker, and a sky & ring graphic for the background. But look at this Amazon.com quote "Celebrate Sonic's 20th Anniversary with the limited edition, individually numbered Figure Inductive Charger!
