Here's a first! This mug has a special effect. It is a 'heat change' mug. When you add a hot beverage, the heat-sensative ink on the outside turns from black to clear, revealing the design. In this case, an old fashion tv is printed onto the mug, and the game screen revealed is Sonic running in Green Hill Zone.

A picture of a controler & the word "Gamer" in red pixel font finish off the design. The mug comes in the cardboard box you see here. The bottom says "Heat Activated Ink" & the blue bar below the logo says "Collector's 1st Edition". Ceramic mugs like this are indeed collectible, & are usually displayed sitting atop their square boxes. This can be bought in the USA too! It is at Vat 19 , an online store that serves the USA.
