Merch Alert: Forbidden Planet stocking numerous new Sonic/Sega items

From out of virtually nowhere…

As part of their new ’16 bit Summer’ initiative, UK based pop-culture megastore Forbidden Planet have begun stocking numerous new merchandise items based off of classic Megadrive box art/cartridges. Thanks to Forbidden Planet, you can now have all of your following everyday items with Sonic 1’s classic megadrive box art:

Mug (£7.99)
Passport Holder (£4.99)
Travel Card Holder (£2.99)
T-Shirts (regular fitting or Skinny fitting) (£14.99)
Greetings Cards (£2.25)

All of the above are pretty awesome, but come on! Sonic 1 greetings cards! How awesome is that? If you don’t particularly feel like indulging yourself in more Sonic, all of the above are available with artwork from other classic SEGA games. The full list is as follows:

Sonic the Hedgehog
Alex Kidd and the Enchanted Castle
Ecco the Dolphin
Streets of Rage
Altered Beast
Golden Axe
The Revenge of Shinobi

You can browse the full range on Forbidden Planet’s website.

Grabbing any of these for yourself? Let us know!

Now, my wallet is due to become substantially lighter, so if you’ll excuse me…
