Sonic the Hedgehog Modern Pins & Keychains of the USA 9
This page of USA Sonic Pins & Keychains will have only modern items. For actual classic items, see Pins/Keychains pages 1 and 2. Because they're not that big, some of the older ones may be harder to find. This should have keychains from between 2021 to 2024 Some of these keychains may be available in the Sonic Gear Store.

						Throw another one into the pile of 'pins you cant have' because here's Figpin's Super Sonic Pin. He's available (not) in both normal enamel and as seen here the glitter enamel. So why can't you have this one? Because it went into Figpins' "TikTok Shop" (Yes, the lying spying app of miscreant promoting algorithms somehow has a stupid store now) for 20 dollars each and then they only did 1000 of them because arbitrary limits are apparently really cool/who wants money anyway. s/. What is it with pin companies? Figpin is one among many but it seems like they're all additcted to making random stupid limited stuff
				so that fans can't get it. Hardcore "collect ALL THEPINS" people will buy this out within 2 minutes even if they hate Sonic just to say they have a rare tiktok pin or some nonsense. Make a special limited pin and then make a normal version and sell it! It's not hard. (Like, put the glitter one at 1000 then just make the character normally and sell it like a normal product vendor geez)
					October is the month for trick or treat (2023)... So the Sega Shop releases this Knuckles pin where he's in his Halloween costume as a pirate. They choose classic Knuckles, draw him sitting, and have him with a pirate eye patch and the captain hat, complete with Jolly Roger on there. It's a nice amount of detail for a metal and enamel pin of this size. The art seems to be new too...there wasn't a stock art of Knuckles just sitting, so it may have been produced for this pin. The only point of confusion is how the crossed leg is attached to his body/if at all, because the way it is not in perspective has it...sort of branching off from his other leg somehow. A detail that small will likely be overlooked though, so it's still a good pin to add to the collection. This is a SegaShop merch photo.
					At a toy show or possibly a comic con (unknown) Just Funky brought along their pin board to show off new designs. They seem to bring this around anywhere they go. (As evidenced by the SDCC 2020 pin they've left on there for years) This board does showcase new pins and characters, but the format of their release is still unknown. Like will they do sets, individuals/etc? You can see new poses like peace signs Amy, peace sign Tails, and flying forward Metal Sonic. There's also 2 from that new odd 'classic food shilling art' with Pizza Knuckles & Chili Dog Sonic. Ignore the 2 lower right characters/different franchise. You can also spot Infinite Jackal and re-releases of their fist up Eggman & fist up Shadow along with movement Eggman and sliding away Tails. Hopefully they'll do some sort of announcement for when/how much fans can start getting these metal and enamel pins. This is Just Funky's own photo.
