Gotta Go Faster- Double Updates Hopefully
The recent theme seems to have been 'gotta go not update'
But, hopefully now the updates can be better. Been trying to do about 2 of them per week to clear out the images and support more of the stuff that's coming out right now...as the site's specific function (Let Sonic fans actually find Sonic stuff they want) is to at least be timely enough to call out things while they're still buy-able.
And, with Halloween on the horizon, and back to school in the thick of it now, there's absolute tons of stuff coming out to try and keep up with. Spirit isn't slacking this time either, as there's factory photos and fan reports of new stuff arriving again--so all that has to go on before it's trick or treat time this year. (It's also that Hot Topic is apparently hot on the Sonic trail too they seem to release a new selection of stuff practically every couple weeks or so which is wild--the entire batch of socks this bonus update is all their stuff and it's sssooo many pairs.)
Item of the week:
The glow in the dark socks. It's a wacky concept but the socks are actually pretty stylish (as those things glow) if the glow is inherent in the thread to make them (and not something that can wash off) they will be quite a nice thing to own because it's just so unusual.
Anti-item:
The mutant gear! WHY GOO! Why don't you just GOO AWAY! Stupid things! Things like the absurd hair scrunchie won't get seen or do very well because it's absurd and small, but having the toy aisle bogged down with really ugly stupid obvious-cash-in-trash like the goo mobiles and hideous 'facial distortion' hotwheel cars is not a good look for Sonic. Like, as a fan, you want him associated with cool looking quality stuff, not ugly badly designed cash grabs for drooling toddlers who don't know what anything is--which is obviously what that tripe is designed for.
They (meaning Sega) needs to stop approving every stupid idea that comes down the road because it makes the brand look bad if you go down the toy aisle and every other thing is a mutant blob creature or distorted failure. "chibi stretch" this, "he is a ball" that, the character's messed up heads are fidget spinner orbs, the characters heads are disgusting car stretchers, those stupid squishmallow lifeless-demon pillows, little goblin funko pops...EVERY single item can't be some "messed up on purpose" version of the characters or what even is the point?
Next Week:
It's going to be the full thing of 6 categories but with 2 items per category. It seems to be working pretty well to have a mid week many things-1 category and then a normal update for the 'more' stuff. A clue about something new that will appear is...Tao Paipai? (Yes that IS from Dragon Ball, so what's it doing here...next update will find out)
