The SonicGear Email...Is Back!

 The return of the email!
For a long time, the SonicGear submissions email has been out of order. Now, it's back in action! So, responses to things that have been sent, questions, and additions/information for the site will now start appearing. It'll take a lot of doing to get it weeded out (spams) and all the responses done and items added, so the process will be long. There may be a double update or something soon to try and get everything accommodated and back on track. 
This is really the biggest deal of what's going on with the site now, is getting back into this and getting caught up with it/everyone written. It'll be a while to get to everyone though.

ReArrangement
The Sonic Prime Section is finally re arranged. Remember, at the start, nobody knew how much merch it would have, so it was just lumped all on one page. But, as tends to happen, there gets way more of one thing and so sub-pages need to be made. In this case, it's the mini figures: they were taking up all of the pages of Prime General.
The next thing to split off will probably be the regular size figures--but there's not enough prime stuff that is 'not a figure' to really keep the Prime General pages going if those figures are subtracted right now. 

Item of the Week:
GOT to be the Ground up Hightops or just their entry in general. Fans have wanted stylish Sonic shoes since FOREVER that weren't just crumby tiny kids sizes that don't even fit. These guys are not only reasonably enough priced but they're making cool designs. Hopefully someone finds out where these will be for sale....that Sonic Shadow mismatch I do want..
Opinion Zone-
Cooler than those Annipon loafers they're resurrecting from 2017. I get that they're trying to be 'subtle Sonic' but if you're wearing red loafers you're not subtle. Also, as a company that just has generic red loafers then adding that white strap isn't a high-effort thing.

ANTI-item of the week
The Goojit zu GARBAGE CARS. WHAT ARE THESE! Whoever did this needs to be written off the page and into the dumpster. How would Sega even approve these?? How are they licensed? This is the worst case of mutant trash that's come along in a LONG time! And it's not like 'the calendar of crud' where the people like just didn't know what they were doing and were churning out any stupid thing with leftover scraps they could think of. 
These were deliberately made as horrible and ugly as they are. This is 2024, how does trash like this keep getting past the checks? And who would even buy these? They don't look like Sonic characters/they are obviously "baby cars" for 2 year olds but like...they don't know who Sonic is? And these scary cars won't appeal to parents either? GooShitZu is the right twitter insult for this company* with this. 

*It's a shame too because their goo things are a cute idea for little kids. Squishy space dinosaurs with beads and whatever in them, their little animated bits, and them getting the Sonic license for stretchy classic characters, and then doing mini squish and stuff that's great. Squishy things are fun, and the quality seems nice enough for them. They had a good thing going, you'd hate to see them tank it by branching out into the worst cars anyone's ever seen. So stupid.

Next Time:
Burlington Bonanza! Apparently Burlington is the source for Sonic recently, and next update will have wall art galore. If you've got this store near you, by all means get in there at a 'gotta fast' rate to grab deals of all kinds. There will be mugs, wall art, candy, tee shirts, jakks gold line figures and more.
