“He may not have the element of surprise, but he makes up for that by yelling an awful lot, and transforming into a sexy anime babe - which is never, ever, ever, a negative in any aspect of life.”

When I'm not outside digging Pungi Pits to catch the little bastards who keep tagging up my wheelie bin, I like to relax by browsing the googletubes for video game related products to purchase.

Normally the hassle of using the PC and enduring all the Popups, Trojans, Viruses, Malware, Rootkits and EA Sports Games discourages me, but just occasionally I find something that makes it all worthwhile.


A Sonic The Hedgehog Action Figure.





Sonic is made from genuine vinyl, which should match my couch, chairs, dining room table and pants, plus he stands at a lifelike 5 inches tall, which is about the size of a real hedgehog, give or take a foot for seasonal variations.

Amazingly, he is available just in time for my birthday, this July 2008 from all good retailers (which probably means just Play Asia and a few dubious EBay Companies) for the realistic price of $14 Australian Dollars. I’ve paid less for a cup of coffee and a funeral plan. Come on people, it’s a good deal, shop around, given the state of our economy, you could consider it an investment.
