Better Site Updates: Hopefully Here to Stay & Pop Complaining

 *Attempts to keep site updated on time instead of neglecting it...accidentally neglects site blog instead* Hmmm. Oh well, I guess better that than the other way around.

Anyway...
The site updates have had better timing lately, and hopefully that can be kept up. Been trying to keep up with the effort to keep it each week and get enough stuff on there. It has had a bit of mail problems also, so if you've sent something in recently, hopefully that can be gotten to as well (but I knoooow there is a huge pile up of things in the mail still--so don't lose hope)

Maybe more UK stuff?
As you've probably noticed, there has been pretty much 100% USA only items for like...a long time. This is because it seems like not only the US is getting tons more stuff, but other countries aren't really sending in items/stuff is only found occasionally like the UK slippers and sometimes a Japan thing.
Upcoming updates though should have more UK items. Remember: it's always the goal for Gear to have the whole world's stuff on on there because Sonic fans are everywhere. 

Odd Aside:
What is the deal with Pops????
It's not a secret that I don't like funko pops much, and I especially don't like any of the Sonic ones, I just think their style doesn't fit with his, and the toys aren't cool or cute looking. However: that IS an opinion. Clearly, loads of people DO like it because they keep doing more and more of these.
But.
From being in a comic store over the weekend, no joke, this thing was SIXTY FIVE PERCENT pops. Out of all the merchandise in the store: comics/action figures/tees/manga/display figures, 65% of the shop was nothing but pops. That leaves all those aforementioned categories to the remainder of the shop. What is even going on with that? There's like huge foot tall ones too? How is anyone supposed to collect them when they're that big or that many? Also isn't that a little risky as a retail shop to have like the majority of your already specialty merch to be that much percent just 1 single thing?
It's bizarre. 
Has any fad item ever lasted this long or caused shops to go this wild? Cause it's not isolated to just 1 joint in the strip mall or the regular mall. Bringing it up because I've seen this same layout in several brick/mortar shops and others have too.

Item of the week:
Sonic & Tails Snow Angels Pin pair. This is TOO cute not to be the item of the week. Using glitter for the snow part is also a perfect choice. The art is great, the execution of it on the enamel pins is great quality, and the theme is super fun and cute. Guaranteed nobody has anything like it and it is just charming. Really, I think they're the best 2 pins out of Pin Kings so far. The others are good, but they are also typical. They didn't go outside of the box until this set. It's great to see a bit of both, so...basically good for Pin Kings, very glad they are on-board with Sonic.

Close second: 
The Firefly-Clean toothbrush. Sonic Hygiene is scarce, but I always like to see it and the tooth brush is fun.

Upcoming updates:
Yes it seems like the chia pet Sonic head is real. It'll be going on. Debatable if it's 'home decor'....but.
More UK items to at least try and provide country variety
It seems back to school is starting up so expect more bags probably
Yes another Pop
Probably clothing...and hopefully all on time.
