This white water bottle with a black lid is added by the Sega Shop online (usa) in late 2021. It has a fun, nicely thought out design for the anniversary. There's modern Sonic jump/look-back art for the centerpiece, and pixel classic Sonic and modern Sonic running in opposite directions for the background. Rings have green hill portraits in them as well. The 30th logo is also a good size, near his foot. The design does capture past/present Sonic as a theme pretty well as you turn the bottle. It is 17 dollars.
This blue bottle has an attached/strap lid so it can't get lost and is made of coated metal to be easy to clean. It has a new (for 2021?) neoclassic Sonic art where he is riding a wind-surf board. The sail has the "S" from the logo and a star. The slogan here is "Ride the waves" written in a circle around Sonic on the wind surf.
Interestingly, this art adds swim trunks to him that seem somewhat floral? This isn't the first instance of it in art but it's still somewhat strange.
This poster is mostly blue but if you look carefully the 'background' is all blue-toned collage images of various Sonic things from the past, 30th logos, and symbols. It features a big gold sparkling ring which has various screen shots from games collaged in. CG Sonic is leaping out from the ring, over the 30th logo.
This might be an interesting one to collect because it is so specifically for 1 event and will have a limited run. If you were going to suspect something of being worth a bit more later, this might be it. This is a Sega Shop online item in late 2021, and it is about 20 dollars.
A movie poster...it's for a movie that doesn't exist but...here is a "Chao in Space" poster. This would appear as a billboard or actual movie-ad on walls in various Sonic games. It's a cute idea to actually be able to own it. It has little angel chao, egg-hat chao, dark chao and one with bunny ears gathered around some neutral chaos. The Death Egg looms in the background, and colored Chaos Drives are floating around. The plot is up to anyone to guess.
Why Sega itself and the Sega Shop continue to tease and show chaos but without ever using them in a game or even making some phone-based mini-garden spinoff despite how much everyone screams they want it, is a total mystery. Now, a poster can be added to the pile (of mystery).This is a Sega Shop online item in late 2021, and it is about 20 dollars.
The Sonic Blanket. This is a fleecy item, but it is larger than the "Sonic Walmart Throw", so it's going to be a little more expensive. It's black with a various 'speed booster line' and scattered squares background. It has CG modern Sonic jumping toward the viewer and the italicized logo at the top. Sonic is nice and large, so you're always going to see part of him even if it's scrunched/folded. It's only moderately busy, so it would look good in a game room or bedroom. This does have the 30th anniversary branding on the paper package part. It is otherwise in a clear display bag to keep it clean. Price will be added once it's discovered.
This is the Be Mine Valentine blanket from the Sega Shop online. But...Valentines isn't really a holiday you decorate for? Christmas and Halloween sure, but not so much the v-day. None-the-less, they use their somewhat odd neoclassic art of Sonic dressed as cupid (complete with bow, wings and Greek 'tunic') holding a valentine card. He's among various patterns of pink hearts, and "Be Mine?" is at the bottom in darker red. The whole blanket is white and pretty large. It's also 40 dollars which is a little steep when you compare it with similarly sized Sonic fleecey-blankets/throws that are sold elsewhere.
Opinion zone: I'd be super curious how many of these actually get sold because the theme is so strange and unfitting for Sonic & a boring blanket that's expensive and has hearts all over it?? It doesn't seem like something
It's a good colorful set, but perhaps a little busy, no-matter which side faces up. However, Kohls has it for something like 150 to 160 dollars which is SUPER STEEP / expensive for a twin bed set like this. Best to wait for a sale if you really enjoy the design. This is a fall 2021 item
This is likely to be the first ever Sonic themed Oven Mitt! Although, this pair of oven mitts is actually a rather "Subtle Sonic" category, because neither one actually has Sonic (or any other character) on there. You would only recognize the Sonic content if you were a fan.
But, is the left side one TOO subtle? It has colored, outline, and stripe stars with yellow circles. Clearly they're meant to be rings but...the stars are just generic...not even a 'red-star-ring' from the games. The right-side mitt is better, as it is the 16 bit pixel-look background from Sonic 1's rotating special stage, with extra ring graphics applied. That one could only be something Sonic. These are a Sega Shop online exclusive, and it is 20 for the pair.
This one is thorougly Sonic, however. With an orange background and repeating 'finger waving' stock classic Sonic, it also adds a star in a ring of smaller stars between the art. The border and hang loop are black. This type of holder is generally folded over the edge of hot things to grasp them, or set on a counter top as a trivet type item to protect it when you set a hot item on top. Sometimes they have a 'pocket' on one side to further protect a hand.
Having Sonic on a kitchen-only item is a fun idea, and this design fits well with what might be expected (repeating patterns, bright cute colors) on a pot holder. This is a Sega Shop online exclusive in 2021-2022 and it is 17 dollars
So that this thing could go in there. This is the "Sonic Big Face Lamp" and...it's another one of those maybe it looked like an ok idea on paper but in execution it sure is... something else. While not as terrible as "Sonic the schoolbag/tombstone", it is still a preposterous item. Which is rather too bad because the sculpt for the body of classic Sonic is actually really good here. It would make a tidy figure to collect if it wasn't for that his head is an immense and unfitting lamp shade.
This "make Sonic into things that look nothing like him" apparently continues with this desk lamp style light. How is putting his face on a big cylender going to look good? It's not. It's also out of proportion with the body they use for the lamp base. Also looking under the shade is going to look super odd with a metal stick coming out of the neck and a lightbulb holder shoved in there.
Where is this sold? How much does it cost? Will anyone actually get it? Entry will be updated pending further info.
Opinion Zone:
There are actually LOTS of cool things to do with making a Sonic lamp. Imagine a GHZ themed lamp with rotating shade (like the level background going by), or something with varying opacity where you could see brighter light thru "neon" areas in a zone or stars in the sky or something. It's easy to imagine cool themed lamps that aren't his head.
