    Now isn't THIS interesting! As you remember, the Egg-o-matic & flames-base Sonic are from the Sonic 3 McDonalds promotion (seen on Fast Food USA 1) but in Japan, they clearly couldn't have that "Robotnick" toy because no one would know who it was supposed to be. So their set of…

Another jewelry item prototype appears, as the first wave continues to succeede.
This one is a pendant, and appears to be called "Sonic Emerald Holding". It's a fully 3D figure in more of the stainless steel material & black patina they've used so far, but this time with the addition of a gemstone of some kind. (It is not labeled as an emerald, probably a green zircon) It's cut to resemble the famous green one out of the 7 chaos emeralds.
A Chaos Emerald is a CLEAR choice, and a great choice for encorporating into jewelry. It's a cool idea! But...this one...is also clearly not their greatest effor. Look at Sonic's proportions! His arms are at least twice as long as his legs & his hands are larger than his head. The body is also very long & oval shaped much more than normal. (Modern Sonic's body is a rough/rounded triangle, classic's is very spherical)

You can see what they were going for.
Triumphantly holding up a Chaos Emerald. But then, you can also see how it would NEVER work & look right. Sonic, by his very design/proportions can't ever reach that much above his head. Let alone to hold a large item like he must do here. If you watch his 3D animations (particularly breakdancing & such) you can literally watch the animators lengthen his limbs temporarily to get him to do moves. Like werehog style bungee limbs because his head is so gigantic & so are his feet. That's OK (ish) in animated media, but it really doesn't work when in permenent/non-moving form. Will this ever actually get released with his long, monkey-arms?
