Even more Sonic electronics! Really, there is a surprising amount of oldschool electronic toys featuring Sonic. Most of the newer ones tend to be mini-games or portable games. For all these older goods, you'll need to shop on ebay since most vintage things here weren't made since the 1990s. While they may not be particularly relevant or all that useful (portable huge radios) they're still interesting to collect.

This is a portable radio featuring Sonic. While radios today can fit entirely into an ear-pice this one is about 4 inches on each side. It's bright and colorful, but the hot green speaker makes it 'loud' in more ways than one. The Sonic is just so-so, being that they've got his arm growing out of the colored chest-dot, and one of his fingers (pointing at the dial) is a bit off. It's interesting to see that they've made the area around the speaker look like a ring, to fit the theme.

With the cord on both sides, it could be hung up on a wall or worn like a giant necklace. The tuner is the big red dial, and the blues are the Band and volume. It was made in 1993 and took 4 AA size batteries to run.

The edge of the walkie talkie has the volume dial and the push to talk button. The back will clip onto a belt or the edge of clothing for ease of use.

Here's another Sonic Walkie-Talkie. For some reason, these were quite popular. This one is in the traditional style (not flip-phone)

While it looks gray-ish in these photos, its actually a bit more violet in color and the design is rather interesting. The ring around the speaker/microphone area is made to look like a giant ring, which the raised Sonic design looks like it is carrying. It's more than a modified stock-art, this raised design looks to be made for this specific purpose. The large button on the front is for doing morse code with beeps and dashes. (note the chart). Both units are the same, and each runs on a 9 volt battery and is about 10 inches high including the black coated antenna.

This is a Didj game. The Didj is a "learning game" console type system that only plays it's own proprietary games, all of which are somehow educational. The Didj is some sort of off-shoot of the Leap Frog system (a plastic system also full of its own learning games for little kids) though it is more sophisticated. This game has Sonic teaching spelling in English for anyone who is age 7 to 10. It uses Sonic Adventure style graphics, but a Green Hill type background and adds a strange small ring to Sonic's finger. How does it play? Possibly like the (now ancient) Mario Teaches typing, only you're spelling things in order to get Sonic to do stuff. This is currently out in 2008 and can be found in Target and other stores in the USA. Photo discovered by WG4Ever
