And the mighty Sonic pogz have some mighty fine retro Sonic artwork on them, from back when SEGA didn’t try so hard to be cool – and was therefore a million times cooler.

“Dear everyone at UK:R, I found these some weeks ago: Sonic pogz. God knows why I kept them all these years, but you seem to have quite a fondness for the blue hedgehog, so I thought, maybe you’d like to have a look at them. Four reasons why you could like these pogz: (1) They have Sonic characters from the 2D era all over them. (2) They’re plastic pogz, not rubbish cardboard ones. (3) You can connect them to build stuff. (4) They also GLOW IN THE DARK (which, in my opinion, is the bestest thing about them).

“Best of all, if you want them, I’ll post them to you. Free. Because you are the greatest SEGA worshipers of them all… if you are the kind of Anglais who have nothing against stuff coming from France, of course. Just give me your address. Yours sincerely, JF Capdevielle, biggest UK:R French fan ever ever.”

In all their majesty. And thanks for the offer, JF, but we’ve reached that stage in life where it’s becoming just a little bit embarrassing to sleep in a bedroom surrounded by plush toys and merchandise of cartoon characters.
