Japan Sonic the Hedgehog School Supplies

Japanese Sonic the Hedgehog School Supplies Page 3

School supplies fun & useful neat to collect. They didn't tend to be all that rare, or expensive, and you can use them to make Sonic projects at home too. They also offer such a wide range of different and interesting Sonic theme things. Japan in the present and in the past probably still has the most items in this catagory. While the things here may be more difficult to collect, they're usually high quality and interesting to see. Because a lot of them are small, you'll see lots of different characters too, not just Sonic.

Isn't this a charming yellow bag? This is an older bag (may or may not have shoulder straps) as noted by the "Segasonic" branding at the top. It has the very seldom-seen "Sitting Sonic" art. With his hands clasped and sitting still, he looks rather cute and totally classic-fun. When you lift up the flap, the art is printed under it too. Bag is likely to be uncommon.

This is an exclusive sticker sheet from the TGS! (Tokyo Game Show) it was only handed out at the Sonic Generations booth there. The sheet is pretty large too, with plenty of stickers in both rectangle & diecut shapes. It should be about 8.5 x 11. Each character is labeled in Japanese, and you get a nice mix of classic & modern Sonic & Tails. The sheet will likely become a rare item as it is an event exclusive.

Japanese notebooks never fail to impress with their level of detail. This one has "Segasonic the Hedgehog" title at the top, and appears Sonic 1 themed. It has badniks around the top edge including Roller, Buzz Bomber, Crabmeant & Ball Hog, and 2 of the little animals at the bottom. Eggman & Egg o matic with walking extension appears over the loop & water background from Green Hill. There's a little saying at the bottom (as is common on older things) and it says: "This begun the battle of Sonic and Dr. Eggman" Photo discovered by Piplupfan77, phrase info by Skittles

Coloring books are great. They provide a fun opportunity to not only color, but trace and draw as well. A Sonic X coloring book would be a great thing to learn with!
The inside is loaded with lots of line art from the show that you can color in or trace onto other paper. It likely has single character shots, scenes and various lesser-seen characters. In 2009, you can sometimes buy this from www.atamii.com --however, it does go in and out of stock because people like the item so well and it IS an import. Where could it be found naturally in Japan?

This is a paperclip holder. That cylender thing has a magnet inside, which attracts the paperclips so they lay all over it, & on the round base. It was obviously produced to promote Sonic 2, & uses the slightly less-common "Tails peeks out from behind the number" art for it. A paperclip holder is kind of obscure, this is likely the only Sonic themed one done. Photo discovered by Piplupfan77

Turn-crank cube pencil Sharpener Sonic theme

What is this curious crank cube? It's a pencil sharpener. Does it have a suction base or were you supposed to hold it down with your foot while you held the pencil in & turned the crank? The top has 'chibi' style Sonic, Tails & Knuckles looking cute, while 1 side has the Sonic CD Metal Sonic graphic, while the other side has the Sonic half to that graphic. The box to the

right side is how it looked MIB. The "A2" probably referrs to the size of the pencil it would take.This is a rare sharpener. Photos by SonicTeam.

Metal Pencil Case Collection Modern & Classic

These are metal pencil cases / pen boxes. Look at the one in the top left, it matches the sharpener above. (mini Sonic on one side, Sonic vs. Metal on the other) The next ones are Sonic Adventure themed, and the last is the Sonic X one. The interior is shown there, as it's divided and also has more art & writing in the lid part. Photos by SonicTeam.

All 3 pencil tin photos by SonicTeam

All 3 of these are colored pencil sets inside of metal tins. Each was made by Tombo, and has 24 different colors inside. The corners all say 'press' (either in English or Japanese,depending which tin) The first 2 look very SA style, and were likely released soon after the game. For some reason the 2nd one features that skateboard he never manages to use, as well as Tails, Amy & Knuckles portraits. The left one is older and matches with several school supplies (See sharpener above, even) that had the whole "Sonic vs Metal Sonic" theme going on. The art for Metal is fantastic on anything with this theme, but the size of the tin really shows it off here. Look at the fun pose for Sonic & Tails at the bottom...they're both super classic & cute.

This is a pack of Floppy Disk Labels. The disks were small square things of about 3 or so inches each that held 1.44 MB of data. Since quite a few things would fit on there, it was important to keep it written down on a list-hence, the need for these labels. Are the little character heads on the side stickers too? Laughin' Eggman is a fun appearance. Look at the tiny Tornado under Super Sonic's feet. With clever little graphics all around, what looks like a phrase/slogan of some sort & good space to write what's on your disk, these 3 sheets of labels seem like a good idea. Photos by SonicTeam

Here are 2 fun pens. Each has a 3D figural character at the top and "Segasonic the Hedgehog" on the side. They're likely a little unweildy due to the mini figure on the end, but that doesn't stop them from being a cool collectible. If there are these 2, you know Sonic & likely Amy also are in the collection somewhere. Photos discovered by:

Here is a Sonic X book, but what kind of a book is it? Coloring, sticker, easy-reader, or something else entirely? The front has most of the cast of Sonic X, while the back has labeled characters. Inside, you can see that it has

color art, blue-tone art, & at least 1 white page. What was this book for, and where could you find it? Photos by SonicTeam
