Sonic Appearences in RL.

That Sonic statue has mouths on both sides of its face.

...That's uh... all that really needs to be shown.

 

I have been trying to remember where I saw this for years, it was Alton Towers then. If I remember correctly, the game video being played beside Sonic wasn't one that was publicly available, right? That may be just me with a really bad memory, though.

EDIT: From the video, it appears to have been Sonic CD - a game which, at the time, I hadn't played. That explains it then.

 

There was one Sonic in a mall that I go every now and then, promoting Unleashed, perhaps 2 meters tall. It was really well done, perfect, and I bowed and shook his hand, much to the dismay of some people there. I had forgotten my phone though, so no pictures. I hope it's still there, because this reminded me and I plan going there this weekend.

 

I have, unfortunately, never seen any interesting Sonic sighting that I can remember. Nothing beyond the normal merchandise and comics for me.

Love the pimp cane Sonic. Only a slight hint of Down Syndrome there.

The roflcopter has left the landing pad.

 

I can't say I've seen Sonic around here outside of an insanity attack, but this topic almost REQUIRES this image.

 

I don't understand. I thought Sonic always had a mouth on both sides of his face.

 

I think he means how the mouth vanishes under the nose. It looks like Sonic has TWO mouths.

 

They included a portion of Green Hill Zone in the music!? That's HAWT. I love Green Hill Zone Toyland Tours Remix! How much did DCT get for this?

 

I sent the Sonic tune to fastfeet media ages ago. Its on the FTP.

I have a few photos of that Sonic in my old album. When they replaced the ride with the Charlie and the Chocolate factory I wanted to go to Alton Towers and see if I could get the statue.

For anyone interested in hearing the whole tune for the ride, including the Sonic part, you can get it here along with more on ride videos: Towers Times - Media Archive It's catagorised under "Toyland Tours".

Also, Sega World London:



From what I remember, this has also gone now.

 

Sega World London? Ah memories. (And yeah, it's gone.)
If I remember correctly, there was an even bigger statue of him in there.

 

Need to deform his eyes too. :v:

There was also that instance of a Sonic statue at an E3 some years ago (along with Shadow and Silver). Correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, to hop on the Blast Processing bandwagon:

 

Seeing this thread makes me miss the 90's

 

I missed the '90s already. We may have better gaming hardware now, but back then we had better software, and isn't that the important part?

 

Or, as Uncyclopedia captions that image: 'How to Pleasure an Invisible Goat'.

Those are quite impressive statues, and probably some of the best Sonic-related statues I have ever seen. I think they had one at that Sega fun centre in Japan as well.

 

I think there was this pawn shop long ago where there was this Sonic statue, can't remember the height though.

On the side of that, I've also seen a 4 foot tall Mario statue in a Toys r us which they put up in 1996. Best part is, it's still there.

EDIT: Bad memory, I don't think it was a pawn shop, so I'll just say "some store".
