    You can see how large it is by comparing it with the DVDs on the shelves - yes, it's big! I took these photos myself :v:

    I saw this at GameStation on The Moor in Sheffield, UK [where I live]

    That's awesome, and really well put together, too! Most statues you see of that size are usually rather poorly constructed, but this captures Sonic's design perfectly without any noticeable errors.

    Thanks for sharing. :v:

    Damn that's big. It's pretty nice too.

    I can't help but giggle at the the thought of someone taking photos it though. :v:

    It's a much nicer looking version of the 15th Anni figurines they gave away with Sonic Next. Same pose and everything (except obviously 100x larger.)

    So, how long until one of you sods steals it?

    I saw that the other day. I wonder if there's one in every large branch of Gamestation.

    I bet if you ask for it they might sell/give it to you when they don't want it anymore. I wish stuff like this appeared on ebay.

    Must have... Anybody have some tickets to the UK that I can have? That thing's as tall as a person (see the last picture for comparison)! Life size, it would probably about half that height!

    I remember there being a Shadow and a Silver one at some point in some show.

    Now all he needs is some sunglasses, a leather jacket, and a paint job!

    That's pretty cool, nice to see that Sonic is mainstream enough for stores to be willing to put up statues of 'em.

    Actually, he is not exactly life-size. Sonic is 3 feet 5 inches tall (not sure what that is in metric), while that statue is clearly at least 5 feet tall.

    If I had the money, and lived near there, I'd SO buy that off them.
