I prefer the unbuckled, but buckles are cool anyway, so meh. Also, went to Oxford Street's GAME the other day, and they had about 40 Tails dolls, and no Sonic ones. At all.

Back in the day, there wasn't a standard way of drawing Sonic. Some people drew buckles, some didn't. Just when Sonic had his Adventure make over, it became the standard to give him buckles.
I think he was always supposed to have them, but with the references people were given to draw him, the buckles were never visible. The sprites were never detailed enough, and you'll notice that the outside of his foot is not visible on the case of Sonic 1, 2, 3, Knuckles, CD, Spinball, 3D, Mean Bean Machine or any others as far as I remember. In fact, I think he had buckles in Sonic R and Christmas NiGHTS, too. He definitely did in Sonic Jam.

I was under the impression that Sonic CD was the first clear sign of him wearing the buckles, and then around 95 it became more or less adapted. Seems American images of Sonic took longer to adapt to the change, but it was more or less apart of Sonic's attire by 97. He had them in all of the post Sonic 3 GG games images and the Saturn games.

I love the buckles. I'd draw them in the comic if the original staff did it.

Gamestation also have that Mario voice keychain thing, where you press it and different mario voices come out. Only £1.99. I might just get one, if only to annoy people in work. I'll say Cheerio to a customer then as they turn their back press the button that goes "See you next-a time!" Wonder what kind of response I'll get from the customer. Just saw this, but don't buy one. My friend bought one a few months ago and drove us all mad with it. For the whole week afterwards, if we were eating anything, he'd keep playing the coin sound whenever someone took a bite. He'd also jump on the spot and play the jumping noise. When we finally punched him, he played the mario death tune. That was one hell of a long week...

Clearly I am going to have to buy one of these items.
Then lurk in Turbo's bushes even more than usual.

Tails' fringe is a different colour from the rest of his fur.
