Calling all Sonic fans. As you know, unlike us, Sonic doesn’t need a car to get around fast, but this cool racing car allows him to do it more comfortably, and you are in control! Send him racing around the house at “break-neck” speeds for hours of fun.

If your children enjoy a game of Monopoly, but they are also mad about Sonic, then they will have tremendous fun with the Monopoly Sonic Edition as it takes the original game down a new path with the inclusion of many Sonic characters.

In this edition, players win rings, buy properties such as Planet Wisp and Rooftop Run, and beat Bosses to earn points. The accompanying dice are different from those in the standard game, with one die numbered from two through seven for a faster game and a boost die with labels. Complete instructions, all the tokens, cards, rings, and the Sonic/Monopoly game board are also available in the box.

10Sonic The Hedgehog New_8967 Great Eastern GE-8967 - Shadow Plush
If your kids are fans of Sonic the Hedgehog, but want something different to play with or snuggle, this plushie could be the perfect answer.
This 12-inch-tall plush toy depicts Shadow the Hedgehog, the main rival of Sonic the Hedgehog. Shadow, an artificially-created life form, is the exact opposite of Sonic in every way.

It is well made, has ample stuffing, and the plush material and the colors used make it identical to the character.
What we love
· It is made with good quality materials, durable and soft
· It is the perfect size for toddlers to hug and cuddle
What We Don't Like That Much
· Although well-constructed, this item cannot withstand rough handling
In Conclusion
Sonic the Hedgehog has been popular for generations now. You may even be old enough to remember when Eggman was called Doctor Robotnik in America (and may think that’s a cooler name…) but there’s no doubt that kids today have better Sonic toys to play with.
However, if you want a taste of that sweet nostalgia we’ve got the perfect thing for you in the shape of Tiger Electronics Sonic The Hedgehog 3 Electronic LCD Video Game, a retro handheld game that I actually had back in the 1990s!
Speaking of nostalgia, you can find more fun modern-day versions of old-school toys in our 18 Best Ninja Turtles Toys list, which is totally radical.
