Summary
Tokyo will display a one-of-a-kind life-size Sonic statue from June 23 at the Sega Store, after Sega unveiled the piece in a YouTube video ahead of Sonic’s June 21 35th anniversary.
Sega said the figure was created with LOM BABY using designed and synthesised 'Sonic DNA' based on traits such as his blue body, speed and personality, framing it as a biotechnology-themed art collaboration.
The metallic-looking statue features a green Chaos Emerald embedded in Sonic’s chest and is not for sale, limiting the project to a promotional display rather than a commercial product.
The reveal extends Sega’s anniversary campaign of merchandise, music, a live concert and another year of Sonic Racing CrossWorlds DLC, even as no new mainline Sonic game has been announced nearly 4 years after Sonic Frontiers.
