International Items of Unknown Origen

This is a collection of Sonic the Hedgehog items that have not yet been proven to come from any certain country. They are fairly sure to not be from the USA or Japan. They are likely to be European. Do you know where something is from? Be sure to write in, and the item will be placed & credited accordingly.

Sonic Gear Main Page

Alternate Sonic 3D Blast logo. All you can really tell is that it was from 1996. Sonic has come a long way!

This has been confirmed in the UK by DarkWingUK. This logo appears when put in any Japanese or European System. It only says "Sonic 3D Blast" when in an American system. (info by Complete Doom Fanatic) Which makes this screen not specificially from anywhere.

Pencils! Tombo is at it again, this time with Sonic X-ish designs. They're made in Japan, but sold elsewhere.

Here's a curious little item.
This is a figure/statue/decoration shaped like the little penguin which came out of badnik robots in the early Sonic games. It looks to be a few inches high (going by the size of the bubble wrap) and could possibly be ceramic if the texture is closely inspected (with plastic base). But why? The base gives no indication of what it is, only saying "Gabbo" with a picture of Sonic near it. This was originally attempted to be auctioned off from Japan, but with "Gabbo" on it, it could really be from anywhere. It never sold because the starting bid was outrageous. Discovered by:

Here's a neutral Chao plush. What's curious about it is, that it wasn't supposed to be from Japan, so it goes into the unknown area. It's cute, with appropriatly tipped hands and feet. The wings look like thay have a little fold in them though, and are made of an odd material. The head-ball seems attached to the top of the head, rather than on a clear plastic piece like some other chao plushes.

**This may be a bootleg item. Origin still unknown. Photo discovered by Sky1234

A strip of "Flag Banners". These are for birthdays or something. The USA did a whole series of Sonic the Hedgehog Birthday Paper goods, but these are plastic. They are likely to be either England or Germany.

This rather modern Silver or Chrome pin is from a Sega World. It could be from any country that had one. The logo is the new classy Sonic Team version, possibly done in enamel, or just raised from the surface. This is a nice modernistic pin, if you can find it to collect.

A bunch of random Pogs. These bear a striking resemblance to ones released in the USA. However, they are notched for some reason. Were you supposed to construct things with them? Also note that Tails is missing from this collection. They are by "Frog ***". No idea on the country.

It is likely that they say "Frog Mania", but it is not confirmed. Hopefully the origin will be discovered. Info by Sonichedgehogchr

A Sonic Adventure metal lunch box. This is a Mini-metal box that is about half the size of a normal box. This photo shows both sides. It was released at the time of Sonic Adventure 1 for the Dreamcast. Available in limited amounts in the USA...but where is it really from?

This 'shirt' brings you 2 questions. 1. Does it exist? and 2. Who has it? It's a nice gesture, and looks cute with Mario's hat. However, what's with the Engrish? "20th Happy Mario"? I mean, obviously it celebrates Mario's 20th anniversary of existing, but it would still be a fun shirt to own, if someone indeed did make it. Looks to be from Japan but...

Here are some mysterious cards. The only clue to them is the "CN" with lightening logo. The one on top almost looks like an Archie Sonic comics splash page or cover...but then how did this CN thing get it. You can see the logo again on the underneath cards, but you can't tell what they're of.
This was attempted to be sold on Ebay quite a while ago, but the origin, or really what they were, was never explained.

Well, this is quite a nice jacket. It's made to look like a high-school "Lettermans Jacket" (often issued in sports) with leather look sleeves and cloth body part. You can see that it has the usual stretch/stripe collar, bottom and sleeve cuffs. The top front has embroidered on "Coca Cola" logo. The sleeve features a nice big "SEGA" patch while the back has Sonic holding up a Coke. It's not know if this is a patch or an embroidery.
Seem familiar? It should, there are more things with this design on Germany Sonic. But is the coat German? It's not common at all. The photo taker/collector is unknown. Is this yours? Write in!

Here is a cardboard. A cardboard what? Who knows.
This is some kind of possibly store display, sign or possibly game announcer. It's got to be from around the Sonic 1 or 2 era, due to the look and age of the stock art. It's nicely shaded, and even "casts" its own shadow. This looks like die-cut cardboard that's fairly big. Where it is from and what it is for is not known.

In a perfectly Sonic world, this page wouldn't be needed because everyone would know where their Sonic stuff was from. But, never fear because eventually all these items will be placed and collected. Maybe even replaced with others, because as long as there's importing, there's plenty to buy and then forget where you got it!
