There’s a couple of other things, like more Sega World Sydney merch, which I buy every time I come across. The 10th-anniversary Dreamcast and the E-102 Gamma plush. But he had some Sega World Sydney items I wanted, and Sega World Sydney is one of my top things, so we traded, but now I’m like, “Damn, well those are gone.” Are there dream pieces of merch you can never seem to come across? Yeah, recently I traded a rare boxed water gun and a rare boxed night-light projector from the ’90s.
Sometimes I look at that thing like, “Damn.” Good money, but I’d never get it again. That thing’s going for hundreds in the box, and I got it for $5. It’s my hobby.īut there are cases with like the Toy Island Rouge figure, the only Rouge figure we’ve got. But I don’t collect Sonic stuff with selling intent. If I was looking to sell actually, now would be the time, with collectible prices skyrocketing. Do people ever offer to buy merch from you?Īll the time. Oh, and those really weird Sonic walkie-talkies where you have to reach in his mouth to turn the volume.įavorite piece would have to be my Sonic Adventure poster from Hollywood Video and the Sega World Sydney snow globe. But for one-of-a-kind stuff, I’d say the art from the unreleased Burger King Sonic Adventure toy line or the shirt James Marsden wore in the movie.įor the weirdest, there’s some really weird stuff, like this Sonic pillbox from Japan, which just makes you think: “Why?” There’s the Sonic Adventure Band-Aids, granted I’d be all for Sonic Band-Aids. If you wanna go for released stuff, I’d say the Sonic Adventure LCD game and some of the McDonald’s Happy Meal displays. Wasn’t cheap, but … What are your rarest, weirdest, and favorite items in your collection?įor rarest, it’s hard to say. It’s pretty much the only one anyone knows of. Sure enough, someone tagged me on an Instagram post of someone selling it, so I took it. A lot of Sonic collectors believed it never made it out,but I swore I’ve seen it. There’s another item I’ve never seen besides in pictures. And sure enough, it’s a boxed complete copy. It was one of my saved searches on eBay and I got a notification that something popped up. The only picture you could find of it was a low-quality one on the internet. That Sonic and Garfield pack I recently found was something I saw at Best Buy as a kid, but didn’t know that it was extremely rare. Once in a while, something will pop up on eBay that I was looking for. How do you go about finding the more rare additions to your collection? Is there anything from your childhood you still have in the collection?Īctually, everything I collected as a kid, I still have. We actually didn’t get any actual Sonic figures until the Adventure Resarus figures in ’99. The first physical items I got were McDonald’s toys, and I found those at local thrift stores. So I started reading the comics, talking about Sonic online, and finding out there was all this other stuff that was impossible to access, mostly in Japan. She says: “Isn’t this that game you play?” So we pick that up and we ended up going to a comic store for the first time after I read it and picked up issue 18. In February of 1994, I was turning six, so I went to spend some birthday money with my mom, and she holds up a Sonic comic, issue 19. I went and rented Sonic 1 and 2 from Blockbuster and played through those after. But when I got past that loop, I loved it. I felt really dumb when I realized you just had to hold right. Then my neighbor actually got Sonic 3, and I went over to play. I kept trying to rotate the D-pad to try to go through the loops and I couldn’t do it, so I just put it down thinking, “This is kinda whack.” In late 1994, I played it for the first time with Sonic & Knuckles at Target on the Sega Kiosk, and I actually didn’t like it.

Even with a house full of strange and wonderful merch, there are still rare items that continue to evade him, making his collection journey an exciting one to watch. I spoke to Treasure Hunting Sonic about the beginnings of his collection, what got him started, and what draws him to Sonic. He has popular Twitter and Instagram accounts where he catalogs his collection, which has gained so much notice that he’s even taken part in an official Sonic merchandise release with the clothing company Stray Rats. He has amassed a giant collection featuring some of the coolest and weirdest items from the hedgehog’s lengthy catalog. Justin, who asked that his last name not be used, has been collecting Sonic merchandise since the 1990s.
One of those fans is Justin, better known as Treasure Hunting Sonic.
