Recently, Lots of Stuff Despite Current Events
You'd think the virus would have put the brakes on finding things...
But, somehow it's starting to be the opposite. This week sees the 2nd in a row 'double size' update that has double the stuff (so, 12 things instead of 6) to try and clear out the image bins and keep the mail current.
Thunderbox Collaboration
This slipped by, I guess. Was it 2019? Early 2020? Don't know. Their photo 'room' near an industrial pipe with some rings as props is a new idea. What's up with the abstract plastic mask? It must be some 'signature item' or style thing or something for the brand/it's followers and fans maybe.
Opinion Zone:
Not super impressed. Nothing was really 'my style', maybe it's someone elses' but repeating generic patterns that are busy or just putting Sonic and a logo is kind of bland? But maybe they were looking to BE bland on purpose because that was the appeal. Their best item is the Eggman collage tee, it's lively, fun and something different. The pins are cute too, a very solid effort with those.

Nobody looks good in a bucket hat. I just don't like this hat style.
Where is the Checker Pocket Tee?
I want thisssssss
Item of the Week: Boom8 Modern Figures
Wellllll....finally a display figure I actually want. With the Boomban now hopefully permanently behind everyone, modern characters are popping back up as display figures by boom8. They're a less costly all-plastic option for any collector and they've done a real great job if this early photo is any indication. If they're reasonably priced enough, I will collect all 4 of these. The clear stuff for Super Sonic's base is a great touch as well, hopefully this set does great for them.
Next Week:
It will probably have more stuff than usual also, but maybe not a double update/it depends what else turns up. There's going to be some image-bin cleaning up too, so older things that were 'a mystery' are probably going to appear as they get solved and some ex-secret stuff will be coming too. The first 'actually offensive' Sonic item will also appear (along with an explanation)
