First we have the Sonic Snow Riderz, the very first Sonic-themed sled!
"These saucer sleds provide tons of fun for all ages. With handles and a 24" base to sit or kneel on, kids will feel safe and secure riding their favourite character down the hill. The board itself is also very light and easy to carry so they can toboggan all day long! These round saucers feature colorful graphics on 3/4" thick foam board, 2 foam handles and a slick bottom."
Next in the lineup is the Sonic Project-A-Sketch!
"A great activity toy for kids that allows them to trace beams of light emanating from a fun flashlight. Each Project a Sketch comes with the main “stand on its own” flashlight as well as 6 lenses each with its own Sonic image. The flashlight comes bundled with its own case and stand, so to begin, all you have to do is open the case to mount the flashlight on any table or flat surface. Once opened, turn the flashlight on and place a piece of paper beneath the light. Select your lens and begin tracing! Once finished, you can even colour in the tracing with any style marker or crayon! Comes with new brighter, longer lasting LED lights!"
Tech4Kids is also producing the Sonic Project A Lite flashlight. Similar to the toy above, the Project A Lite is a flashlight that comes with 5 interchangable lenses for projecting Sonic lineart on your walls. There is currently no picture of it.
Finally, we have one of the first Sonic-branded water guns, the Sonic Blast N Splash Super Spray!
"Create huge blasts of water! Colorful water cannon that blasts huge streams of water. Features an adjustable nozzle that allows you to select from 4 different stream types. Full color graphics for a great high end look. Powerful water blast shoots up to 25 feet(8m)!"
I don't know if these toys have been released yet, but US residents can look for them at Walmart, Costco, Toys R Us, and Dick's Sporting Goods. Canadian fans can check the previously-mentioned stores, as well as Zellers, Canadian Tire, Home Hardware, and Mastermind Toys. Everyone else...well, I guess you'll just have to order off the internet.
Personally, I think these are great! Cheap little toys in common stores are easy to collect, great advertising for Sonic, and they're a great change of pace from the deluge of figures and plush toys. I'm seriously starting to think we're in the second peak of Sonic merchandising, almost like in the mid-90s where the hedgehog's mug was on everything imaginable. I love it!
