    • Welcome To Your New-Look SSMB!   07/11/15

      Hello! You might have noticed that this place has changed a little bit since you last saw it. Welcome to the Sonic Stadium Message Board - 2015 Edition! The moderators, Bmn and myself have been working really hard these last few weeks to make sure the upgrade from IPB 3 to IPB4 was as seamless as possible, whilst also taking the opportunity to update the look and feel of The Sonic Stadium in a modern way. So there are a whole bunch of technical things that have changed, as well as cosmetic changes that relate to how the forum works. You'll see your username above the main content area: click that and a dropdown menu will appear containing most of the options you need to work your profile. Next to your username are a bunch of quick icons that take you to Notifications and Direct Messages. In the blue bar underneath the header, you'll see an 'SSMB' link on the far right (next to the search button), hover your mouse over that and you'll see different sections of the forum, like Calendar and Forum Staff pages etc. Posting replies is simpler than ever, and a lot of the bugs that have been prevalent in the forum this past year have been squashed. (Needless to say though, that if you're seeing anything that's a bit wonky, do post in the Member Feedback/Bug Reports forum, as it will help us troubleshoot stuff!) The cosmetic changes are part and parcel of a wider initiative by myself to reinvent The Sonic Stadium in 2015. Did you know that this plucky little website will be 15 years old in October? It's been through an awful lot, and with the changing habits of forum goers and website readers alike I've been spending a lot of time trying to figure out the best way to present the site (and forum) in a way that makes sense for everyone in today's era. That's why you see a chop-and-change of some of the forum listings on the homepage - SSMB has been re-organised so that discussion is at the top of the list, and the more popular forums are front and center so you can access them much more easily. Needless to say, SSMB's butterfly change into this current form is a prelude to what will soon happen on The Sonic Stadium itself, later this year - a lot more housecleaning is needed on the main site yet, before I can fully unleash the revamped design. Either way, I hope you like this new look and functionality, and are looking forward to what's coming soon! As this is brand new forum software, there will naturally be some elements that haven't crossed over to this new SSMB immediately - namely Badges. We are working hard to get these back, don't worry. They're not lost forever! We're working on a way of getting them back to you.  Stay tuned on that front! You can comment on this news in the topics situated in the Announcements forum, here.

BY THE ALL SPARK, THAT THING IS HUGE!

Wow, $160 Man, I'd have to save up for that one. It comes out next year though, so I just might.

It's a way better use for that money than Kinect at any rate XD

Damn, if my budget allows for it, then I'd get this in a heartbeat. Actually if this comes out near my birthday, then that would be a great excuese for a present idea. xD

That's a really badass figure!

That is the best figure of any Sonic character I have ever seen. The amount of detail is amazing, and I love the little sparks on the shoes.

...only thing missing is the green eyes :P.

I'll admit, that looks pretty slick. But that much, for something that just sits on a shelf? No thanks.

Oh shit. There goes my fund for all the games that are coming out this season. To make matters worse, I'm going to have to buy that other statue to go along with it. So yeah, I might be able to afford ONE game before Christmas. And if I have to choose, well FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

That looks awesome, but it's too effing expensive >_< Maybe for like 50€, but 160$?

I almost forgot they'd said June 22nd was pre-order day when they first teased us the 18th, good to see it in full though I can't afford it XD Look's absolutely amazing!

Wonder how many extremely hardcore people will buy the normal and light up versions? :lol:

News'd, gave you credit in my article Frozen Nitrogen :)

I've stuck my preorder in for the Exclusive version. Figured having #75 of 350 sounded a bit better than #75 of 1500. Either way, he'll go very nicely with the 12" Sonic that I got last year.

Okay, so I've ordered the regular Sonic statue now. When that comes to the door I'll get it's number and make sure I get the same number for this new one.

I feel like such a geek >.>. But thing is, I never get merch like this. Ever. I only buy the games, and special editions of said games if they exist . I'd be giving this a miss if it wasn't part of a series. That's why I never got the first one... until now.

They'd always advertised Sonic as being the first in a series, though.

Ah well, could be worse. The other half's in the process of collecting the Zelda statues that First4Figures produce. I have no idea where Zant's going to go when he arrives. 21" and 10kg says I'm not gonna be able to take him far!

I pay such little attention to this side of the franchise I never realised. But why do they both have to be so awesome?

This statue is so sexual that I'm officially declaring myself to have two birthdays so I can get one for its release. If the Queen can do it, SO CAN I. :angry:

In all seriousness, the first one in the series looks much, much better in person than in the photos. Sort of amazes me how he stands on his little spindly legs with the huge head used in the sculpt. The statues are also much bigger than you expect them to be from the photos, and the level of detail on them is astounding. The light up detail on the exclusive version is also a nice added touch. £130 posted is a lot to ask for at the moment, mind... Will have to (begrudgingly!) wait it out for now and see what happens.

You can afford to wait it out for now since you have 5/6 months minimum until release.

Also guys, light-up or normal? Light-up here!

Good to see Super Sonic is getting a whole lot more attention than before, both merchandise AND game-wise... 'Cause it was pretty much rare to see him pre-Unleashed/Brawl, what with him being stuck to the final boss every time. I'm really glad it's not the case anymore now.

Figure's really awesome, btw.

AW SHIT

Great, just fucking great.

Thanks a lot F4F. Not like you're the most tempting thing my wallet has ever laid seams on.

I have a ten dollar bill with a hard on right now thanks to you dicks.

I'm coming for you Super Sonic. Right after I get my precious Phazon Suit Samus.

Oh mah gawd.

WOW. Just WOW.

That is one awesome Super Sonic figure. However any thoughts of "HNNNGGGHHH YES I MUST HAS IT!" have been replaced by "oh well sod that" after seeing the price. I don't have that kind of money to spend on Sonic merch (albeit delicious Sonic merch).

If I see it in a bargain bin for a fiver, then I might reconsider :P

Do they charge you right away or bill you nearer the release? if its later then i'll be getting the light up version ^^

I think it's the latter. I attempted to preorder one and didn't get anything about my card being declined due to insufficient funds.

Exactly as Aquaslash said. If they charged you right away it'd be a total nightmare paying everyine back in case, say, the figure got canned.

Fuck money and its absence around me.

This thing is the best piece of Sonic merch I've seen in a while. And it's kinda cute, too. ^_^
