This electronic item is unique, in that it has a name: "Sleep Buster Alarm Clock". This item is from 1995, & was sold in a Sears catalog. It's a black battery operated clock with a semi-3D (high relief?) Sonic figure off to one side. He's full color, & in the 'waving 1 finger' pose. That big blue button on the top is the 'snooze'. How does the clock work? The numbers don't even look digital at all, they look painted on there.
This clock was supposed to be "Extra Cool" because Sonic would "Talk to you" when you used it. If you set the alarm, it says"Time to get up, another great day begins!" If you push the delay button "I'm waaaaiting!" and if you push the snooze key "Okay, but you're on your own!"
With all these phrases, decent looking Sonic figure & the hint that "Sleep Busters" might have been a series of character clocks, why was this only discovered in 2014? Was it too expensive, or unpopular upon release? It mustn't be common now, all these years later if it took this long to see even the factory photo (which is what this is) of the item.
