Gotta go fast! It's Sonic's 30th birthday!

Easily the most frequently requested character I've gotten over the years, Sonic the Hedgehog finally arrives as a Spyrofoam model. Sonic is meant to be a blend of several of his classic appearances, mostly drawing influence from his sprite in Sonic 3 & Knuckles, his appearance in the intro to Sonic CD, and some of the 3D models of Sonic used in the marketing around that time. Standing 3 1/2 inches tall, this model of Sonic is pretty much conceptually identical to my previous model of Mario I made for the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros.

Just like my history with Mario, playing Sonic games as a kid was a rare treat, as we didn't have any video game consoles of our own growing up. Sonic finally found his way into our house thanks to the Sonic & Knuckles Collection for PC. I may not have as many fond childhood memories of playing Sonic as I do Mario, but I still remember being totally blown away by the Blue Sphere special stages the first time I saw them!

In any case, I've been meaning to make a model of Sonic for years, so it feels good to finally add him to my collection. Sonic's ready to speed off toward another 30 years of adventures!
