The Sonic the Hedgehog 35th Anniversary has landed, as it's been 35 years since the first game launched on June 23 in the US way back in 1991. That means we'd had almost four decades spent on this planet with the blue blur, chilli dogs, cheesy quips, and the iconic Green Hill Zone, whose 16-bit music still remains in my head rent-free.
I don't want to linger on Sonic's age too much, as that'd mean coming to terms with my own old age. But the series' longevity means that plenty of the best toys out there are based on Sonic and friends, should you want to start collecting them. There's everything from official Squishmallow plushies featuring Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, to PEZ dispensers, game controllers, and cookbooks. An order up of Chili Dogs, anyone?
To help get you started, I've gathered together a Death Egg-sized lot of some of my favorite Sonic the Hedgehog collectibles out there today, including plenty of pieces I own myself. Everything I've included is officially licensed by SEGA, too, so you can feel assured that you won't find a faker. Y'know, unless you're looking for Shadow the Hedgehog merch in particular, of course.

Weekly digests, tales from the communities you love, and more

Ever since I first held a NES controller in my hand I've been obsessed with gaming, and the hardware it runs on. I could hook up a NES and SNES to a telly, without instructions, before I could walk. Even now, nothing is more exciting then taking a console, or handheld, out the box for the first time and setting it up. This obsession transformed into a love of games and game music, which lead to my music degree and dream of becoming the Scottish Nobuo Uematsu. After sharing my love of games through music, I began to share my love through words on sites like TechRadar and iMore. This lead to becoming a Hardware staff writer for PCGamesN, and later the Senior Tech Writer for Dexerto, covering all things Steam Deck, PlayStation and Nintendo. With that experience, I was able to level up as Hardware Editor for GamesRadar+, where I'm still just as Nintendo, PlayStation and gaming tech obsessed as ever.
