    1998 Jumbo Sonic Plush
    Here's a different (yet similar...) jumbo Sonic plush. He's about 15 inches, and from 1998, so that's pretty big for the time. This one is different because he's posed. The one hand is always up in a waving position/stays that way. Usually you see small dolls that are posed, but…

A rare sight to see! Because it could possibly be the only one.
This is the Mario Sonic Olympic Games prize snowboard that you've seen before on Gear. It's got the same great ski jumping Mario & snowboard Sonic on the top, and all of the colorful character logo circles (that debut in this game) on the bottom. So how's it different? Just check out the logo, the whole thing is in Dutch. The bit under the Olympic logo (for that year) says "Vancouver 2010". This must have been some prize / give away thing, but only for someone inside the Netherlands. It was won at a convention in Amsterdam by playing Mario & Sonic. Because this prize snowboard was localized, does that mean others were too? Was more than 1 created per language/area? It's interesting to see that they did customize the logo into something the people live there can understand to increase its desirability for winning.

It remains in the Netherlands to this day, this item is in Hedgelot's collection.
