So Many Sonic Things Season
So recently...
There seems like somehow everything Sonic is showing up at once. Whether it's email submits or stuff on shelves or some company releasing photos, it's all pouring in. I have been trying to keep up with it by doing double size updates and more than 2x the amount of stuff but...it's not working 100% anyway. Email is falling behind again and I know I slipped up on some item credit lines probably. I'll try to continue these larger updates until it basically catches up with the current things.
It's by no means bad that all this stuff is turning up, but all coming at once makes it harder to buy (gotta spend fast) and also makes the updates more difficult for me to do because they basically take forever to manage all the aspects.

What's after that?
I want to do changes like breaking off a Sonic Socks page for the USA because there are too many pairs of it cluttering up accessories so it should have it's own thing. Breaking off a page is always time consuming though, so it won't be for a while.
Adding another article-entry
That one's going to be for SatAm cells and proto art. It's another time consumer with loads of rare images and information that can't appear until the flood of stuff winds down.

Jakks Pacific: NEW line!
Announced here before it hits the site--they're adding a 2.5 inch mini line, it's in target NOW so if you see this post just go look because they're like 5 bucks. Also more factory photos of their articulated normal size came out so more characters will be seen next week despite them not releasing anything on the line yet (ugh)

JP is shaking it up-
Notice WHO is on each figure line and that it's not the standard s/t/k that everyone before is doing. They're tossing in Metal Sonic & Shadow sometimes before Knuckles, or throwing a Chao in for good measure. The notable absence so far is Amy Rose who really should be in there before making a Sonic 2nd figure/basically a clone. But, it's nice to see them doing stuff like early Eggman instead of having to wait like 3 lines before he turns up.

Hopefully they use the mini figures to start putting out tons of characters that fans love like Blaze, Cream, Espio, Vector, Charmy, Silver and anybody else they can get. Maybe do Chaos 0 or something, or start putting badnicks. Tikal figure anyone? Hopefully it's possible with the mini line if it sells well.
Current Stuff:
The AOSTH 'wrong character on box' dvds are in Dollar General.
Target still has the blue Sonic modern tee
Old Navy still has at least 2 tees & the adult socks
Books A Million still has the spheres

Why so much stuff now?
Back to school 'season' probably has something to do with it, despite whatever happens about going back into actual school. All the stuff like the backpacks and shirts were prepared before the virus started so they're gonna come out regardless of anything. It is generally busy around the fall time, then having a lull once school actually gets started around Sept. before it gears back up for the holidays.
*It was nifty to see a Sonic schoolbag set hit Amazon best seller in category

It went around the world:
"Around the world" updates are popular, so if I get lots of things from a variety of countries I always try to have such an update. It is funny that the Finland word for pinball machine seems to be "Flipperiin". Also that language isn't afraid to put 2 of the letter i together fairly frequently.
"DJ PopCultcha"--not sure what they're after with this new slogan but strange slogans aren't a first for the SonicChannel. They 'sorta rebrand' fairly often and along with fads so this isn't a super surprise but it just seems a little odd.

Next Week:
Also going to be a big update, there's lots to get done. It will help with the mail que this time so if you sent something, chances are that'll be the week it goes up. It will for sure have the new JP stuff, Boom stuff and school stuff.
