Annoying Post - Annoying Update

Well, there's never been an update with this sort of title before!
Almost everything on the post out of just (mostly) happenstance turned out to be annoying. Once there were like 3 or 4 things, I purposefully picked the rest to fit them to the theme. Sonic items can't be without criticism, but we complain because we care.

Anti Item of the Week-
Stupid ball plushes? What are these even? Like....you expect better from GE after this time, stupid toon balls? They're so ugly too...and it's not like 'oh they did a bad job and it uglified' no, it's the whole concept is ugly and stupid. It's like he already rolls up! Make him rolled up! Not a baseball with creepy features pasted onto it ugh. And the fact that there's 3 of them meant someone thought it was a great idea. Even more ugh.

Things that are fun/cool/quality and will never fit (the pjs) are annoying but for totally different reasons. That Cuddl Duds set actually feels really great/soft like something you would want.

Re-buying annoys action figure collectors so, the set goes on there too...even though it's not genuinely annoying. It's a fine way to buy the show for display and collecting/just don't debox the figures if you already had them.

Movie Stuff:
It comes out this Friday so the update had to have more things. That madlib book is just too big of a target to not make fun of it. I also find it sooooper interesting how the items and art are trying sooooo hard to downplay the 'movie troll' parts of the design and pander into 'modern Sonic', because THEY KNOW HES BETTER and that the movie design is trash so they try to hide it in the merch by making him look more 'modern' than he does 'movie'.
This would be hilarious if it wasn't going to drag Sonic's name through the mud.

More Items:
You'll have probably noticed in general more items are showing up every week. That's because...in general, there just seems to be more stuff coming out. Usually there are 6 things each update, to keep the time spent on it in check / not let it take over all of time/go on for just hours and hours. However, I also refuse to let the submissions bins flood over with old mail and people not getting responses so to keep up, it'll probably be more than 6 things a week for a while.
*This is good

Next week:
Expect more than usual on the items too, and of course more movie stuff because that update will be after it's release. It will also have stuff that's in stores NOW so that people can act & buy what they want right away. That kind of thing is always going to get priority, because Gear's purpose is to serve as a guide to help fans actually collect what they want. Sonic swim trunks are coming!

REMEMBER:
DONT GO SEE THE SONIC MOVIE if you don't like the look! If you don't want that hairy thing to be the future of Sonic DONT GO SEE IT. Not for the irony, not to hate watch, not for 'the lulz', just don't go because money only votes 1 single way and that is 'yes'. Do not spend 1 cent on this thing if you don't approve. If you want to support Jim Carrey the millionaire, give it a netflix or something later on. Sonic doesn't need to be further divided by a million design choices.
