With all the products that have been created around Sonic or other characters from the games throughout a timespan of 20 years it shouldn't come as a surprise that some companies will often produce something so badly designed that you have to wonder if there was a poor soul in the world who actually put forward some money to purchase it. Take this for example:  It’s common fact that 9 times out of 10 all Official Sonic Plushies are just so horrible looking. I mean Tails here looks like his head is a slice of squashed bread.....so I had to follow up by sticking it into a toaster.  Know of any other "Official" merchandise that would even make bootleggers frown in disgust? Post them here and show how terrible it can get! Remember, they have to be the real deal, as posting deformed bootlegged variations is too easy. |

'"Hold on a tick, squire, I thought you said you didn't want to play that again, my old road dog and running mate," objected Tails.'

I had this book!  The contents are pretty dire as well... although it did entertain little 9 year old me! |

To think I still have the collection of these books...including two copies of this one in particular. Also for those posting game titles, I was looking for more particular goods away from games as the product and cover art for them were good/decent, even if the game itself was terrible. Case and point:  |

Haha, don't worry about it. It's a running gag on the forum; whenever someone mentions crap Sonic merch, or worst games, etc. someone just posts a picture of the Sonic Heroes boxart.  |

Thanks for the heads up on the insider jokes. |

 I had one of these from McDonalds around 2002/2003 (my first year of Uni, geez I'm old!). I think it was to promote Sonic Adventure 2, as there were also ones of Tails, Knuckles and Shadow. I'm not sure if McDon's merch counts as "official", though. The game itself is just a small LCD game, nothing great. But what bugs me is the painting on Sonic. I seem to remember mine looked like this as well, with Sonic's eyes, muzzle, inner ears etc all being painted white. Yeeuch. I also had one of the 1993 McDon's toys (Knuckles sitting in a cloud, for some reason...  ) but that one's not as bad. |

Flipping heck. It's a sad state of affairs when the official stuff looks like bootlegs and vice-versa.

I'm not sure if McDon's merch counts as "official", though. Those where just part of a generic Sega promotion, not for a specific game. There was a Super Monkey Ball game in that set too. Anyway, if you want to see ugly Sonic merch, all you have to do is go to Sonic Gear. |

I also wonder why they made Storm before blaze, and on his own to boot! I wouldn't mind of he had some form of play feature (other than his extreme gear) or looked siginigantly more grotesque than the Sega version.

Sonic Lost World. Calling it "main" is a disgrace.

I seem to recall liking the Martin Adams books, I've got three of them. Now that I think about it, though, it does seem a bit incongruous to have Sonic say "me old mucker" and "like, most heinous" in the same sentence.

 I found one of these in a random shoe box a couple weeks ago... The batteries were dead but if I remember correctly it looked like an Atari game, and "knuckles" was a black silhouette thing. I also found some horrendous plushies of the Hedgehog trio at a con earlier this year, but I didn't take any pictures. |
