Found on IGN...
Old school sonic statue with the sweet nose rub from the old cartoon/OVA coming this fall for... $100
Why is a statue so dang expensive!? I would totally buy one if it was actually AFFORDABLE!
Also, WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS SONIC!? I miss him ;_;

Sonic isn't a five year old hedgehog anymore. He's sixteen. It's suitable that his appearance fit his age.

Oh, and replica statues always cost a lot. They always have. But how big is this statue?

And, he also ran faster when he was fat and ate chili dogs than when he was freakishly skinny.  :P

Oh, I thought that Sonic was picking his nose at first but then I realized that was his pose that he did in the 2D days.  :D

I might get this when it drops to like $50. Hey, that's only one bad 3D Sonic game!  :)

He does that constantly in the OVA...and it's not picking his nose, it's basically a japanese sign of cockiness or something.
He does seem to run faster in the old games oddly XD

My favourite sonic was from the OVA.
That was Sonic at his top appearance.

He went really fast in that movie too.
Thank god I have it on DVD ^_^

Just found out that there are going to be 4 total figures from this company about the Sonic series.
Probably Tails, Knuckles, and Robotnik the other three X_X;;
Just an FYI

It's so expensive because the motion blur is included.
