Sonic Boom Helicopters, Cakes, Calendars & Costumes announced

According to details posted on Global License, Sonic Boom is set to get more merchandise and it rangers from novel to delicious.

The newly announced products are as follows.

  • World Tech Toys for an array of remote-controlled helicopters;
  • Bulls I Toys for wearables such as branded dog tags and slap bands, as well as novelty items including erasers, stickers and trading cards;
  • Book and stationery publisher teNeues for 2016 wall calendars based on imagery from the “Sonic Boom” animated series;
  • Bakery Crafts for a line of cake decoration kits, cake/cupcake stands, decorative candles and edible decorations;
  • Advanced Graphics for wall decals and cardboard standees;
  • Accessory Innovations for a back-to-school range that will include backpacks, lunch totes, umbrellas and more; and
  • Rubie’s Costumes Company for Sonic Boom costumes that expand on its existing classic Sonic collection.

The Bulls I Toy merchandise is already out now, but the other stuff is new. I will be very interested if all this stuff actually comes out, typically stories like this always come out at this time of the year and very few of them see the light of day… Though the helicopters thing, that sounds cool.

Also, would you eat a Sonic Boom cake? Let us know in the comments.

COSTUMES?! You mean… I CAN WRAP MYSELF IN SPORTS TAPE AND WEAR SCARVES!! Kidding aside, this definitely sounds interesting and I would like to see where this goes. The cake kits, calendars, and wall decals are on my want list. And since they have wearable power sneakers can we also get Sonic’s scarf as an solo accessory! I would love to wear it.

I was hoping for a sexy calender but the Eggman page will have to do I suppose. What a lovely mustache.

In case nobody mentioned it, Del Taco currently has Sonic Boom toys with their kid’s meals.

    They Still do? wasn’t that long ago that they had them?

You know I was hoping the calender and stuff would have unique poses not taken from the show or of the same render like all the other stuff but I guess I had my hopes all too high. The cakes and other stuff have me interested though and I wanna see them. Think the cake will be the Eggman cake we saw in “Translate this”?

Sonic Boom Is Going To Get A Lot More Merchandise | My Nintendo News

[…] Sonic Boom might not sit well with Sonic fans, but that hasn’t stopped Sega from issuing out plenty more merchandise based on the disappointing franchise. There’s everything from bakery craft kits to remote controller helicopters, which admittedly sound rather cool. Here’s what’s in the works. […]

i was hoping the calander wouldnt be generic but i hoped too much.
the cake sounds interesting though – it would save me making one. (lets just hope its not a generic picture stuck to icing).

Today I saw Sonic Boom dogtags at Target. That was… astoundingly random.

Well, I have to give it to them; they’re making money off an apparently failed project. I hope they make enough to warrant pumping some funds into a nice Sonic game in the future.

    It’s only the games that failed, not the show and comics, I say for the umpteenth time on this site.

In all curiousity, is any of this Sonic Boom merchanise really selling? Because SEGA is sure putting out A LOT of it.

Even Regular Show (or Frozen) doesn’t get that much product placement.

    At this point, I don’t mind, so long as it actually gets SEGA back on their feet and gives us another console game (one for all three consoles).

    I work at Target and I’ve had a good amount of parents come around asking for Sonic Boom merchandise from their kids. We don’t have it of course since its Toys R Us exclusive, but it seems pretty popular, astoundingly.

    Oh I don’t know about Frozen .. Those gals & snowman are on everything

You know Sega, all the money you’re putting in to the Boom games and merchandise that won’t sell could have gone to the development of Sonic Adventure 3. You would actually make your money back on that investment lol

Very late, the games & show have passed their hype, shoulda had this all out months before Boom happened

Neat, but I’ll believe it when I see it. Sega announced months ago that Sonic Boom stuff was coming to retailers like WalMart and Kohls, and special cups were coming to Icee machines across the country, and I have yet to see a single Sonic Boom product anywhere.

My biggest gripe right now is that the screenshots used on Sonic and tails’ pages on the calendar aren’t even nice shots, they’re just one frame of a motion they were performing, not even one nice frame… Like, Tails has his hair swept back and he’s at a weird angle and Sonic’s all blurred and in a mid-run pose.

    kamifox1

    I’m also concerned that they’re making and putting out WAY more stuff than they’re actually selling. They’ll go bankrupt at this rate…

      kamifox1

      I mean AGAIN. They’ll go bankrupt again…

        Johnny2071

        At this plot, it’s either part of their ingenious plot to give us good quality Sonic games again, like the way things were before the Dreamcast died (but for other systems this time, like Nintendo), or Sonic Boom is their own personal pride and EGO.

          kamifox1

          Not sure how putting out an absolute CRAPTON of merchandise for some games that failed and a show and comic that are doing well by modern CNs standards but still not THAT well would have anything to do with making a good or popular new game since Boom’s only meant to be a spin-off and not even developed by SEGA in the first place, not to mention the minute detail of the fact merch has nothing to do with game development. Game comes before merch every time, otherwise you’re definitely doomed to fail.

          Johnny2071

          I was referring to any money that all this Boom merchandise may bring in. Either way, it’s still the Sonic name, and SEGA has to get their cut.

          If this crap is popular enough (considering how much of it is being put out), then maybe SEGA can use that money to make more console games (since game developing costs money, where SEGA has suffered from recent profit loss with ROL). Or else, whoever is in charge of Sonic Boom merchandise needs to stop if SEGA isn’t profiting from it.

          I say this because SEGA is crippled right now and hasn’t announced any console Sonic games, yet we get more of this stuff. Do they really think Sonic Runners will be enough to get them out from under.

          Exactly my point. (I’m replying to an older comment from you because your newest comment had no reply button for some reason)
