The Mystery of the Purple Hedgehog

I recently had the nostalgic joy of rummaging through my childhood toybox and found some interesting things in there. One figure in particular caught my eye. A mysterious purple hedgehog. A half-Sonic, half-Mario bootleg of sorts. Who is he? Where did he come from? What's his name? All your (and my) questions will be answered!
In this video I talk about this purple miniature and discuss a few other cool finds too. Remember the Sonic McDonald's toys? How about the Sonic/Judge Dredd/Street Sharks cross-over toys?
I also shared this weird little purple hedgehog with my community here on RU-vid and received some interesting guesses. At the tail-end of the episode I run through some "honourable mentions" and talk about some other infamous purple hedgehogs (because when else am I going to talk about Needlemouse and Coldsteel the Hedgehog?!)
Music used in this video :-
- "Mushroom Hill Zone Act 1" from Sonic & Knuckles
- "Game Select" from Super Mario All-Stars
- "Meteor Herd" from Sonic Adventure 2 (Instrumental version by @Sick Mike )
- "Launch Base Zone Act 1" from Sonic the Hedgehog 3

I have this toy. Kinda blew my mind a little bit seeing it on RU-vid after all this time. My immediate thought was that it was a "Crazy Bone". But then upon thinking about it...it wasn't. But I think it was around that time. Then I realized I actually have almost the entire collection of these alien things. Honestly if you care enough I could try to find them. Was quite nostalgic watching this eitherway.

@ShelbyAQD Год назад

I remember first learning about Cynic on DeviantArt sometime in the early 2000's. Someone or other had posted a picture of one they'd found, asking if anyone knew what it was. Someone else had responded to the post saying it was part of an old toyline of "aliens attempting to blend in, but not actually understanding the pop-culture they were emulating."

@ToaArcan 2 года назад

Huh. I actually recognise one of the P.E.T. Aliens: Miner Bird, the little eyeball with the bat wings, helmet, and pickaxe. He was in a large box of robot toys in the rainy break cupboard in our Year 4 (Age 8-9) classroom at school. We called him "Bat-Eye" and for some reason he ended up being the leader of the "good guy" robots even though he's weird as fuck, not a robot, and had nothing leadery about him. The weird thing is that I've spent most of my subsequent years wondering what the hell those toys were, and where they came from, and I'd all but written off "Bat-Eye" as being one piece of the puzzle I'd never have an answer for, even moreso than the others- They at least had a consistent theme and two faction logos (one was a large stag head, and the other was a stylised Z) that the whole line would presumably have, so any single instance of one of those logos could lead me to the rest, but Bat-Eye was entirely different to them and had no such marks. And yet... here he is. The only detail from that box of toys that I _do_ have an answer for. And it came from a video about a Sonic parody figure from the same line as him. Also apparently he's a _bird?_

@novelezra 2 года назад

I've been playing Shenmue for the first time recently; since fixing my Dreamcast and I quickly became addicted (like a lot of people) to buying the capsule toys of Sega characters. Both the Tails and Bark figures are both incredible and the second I saw them I went online to try and find low-poly Sonic figures and I can't find any. Like what the hell? How has no one made these? I can't even find anyone on Etsy making any (I saw a Sonic one but it didn't look that great). We are in the age of cheap 3D printing and I have seen people even doing mini-scale 3D printed Sony Trinitron PVM's so the fact that no one has done the Shenmue ones is a tragedy. I need a Bark the polar bear figure in my life. Squares FF7 polygon figures are amazing and I need to get a full set one day. Could you imagine a set based on Sonic Adventure? With all the crazy faces? God that would rock. I can't believe they released a cereal box toy referencing Videodrome. I only watched that for the first time just a few years ago and even in my 30's it made me feel extremely uneasy. Long life the new flesh.

@sonicmaiden2871 2 года назад

You could just Google the Sonic the fighters 3D models and print them yourself. But I think that we might get some new Bark the polar bear pushes and figures eventually. Just look at Mighty, Ray and the silver Mecha Sonic. They barely had any merch but now we have a good amount on merch based on them. Bark the polar bear also appeared in Sonic mania so I think that's possible that we might get new merch based on him in the future. We also got a new Fang plushie made by ge entertainment recently after all.

@@novelezra you're welcome! If you will save some money you could buy a 3d printer yourself as well. My brother has one and printed some Rayman 3d models. It depends if you just plan to print a couple or models or if you would like to print more. A 3D printing service is cheaper and it will give you a taste of how 3D printing is made.

The Japanese word for hedgehog is harinezumi, which I think is in fact the words for needle and mouse out together. So I don't think that's *entirely* incorrect to assume he was called that even if it's not necessarily correct either. Like the way a lot of German animals are named: turtle is schildkröte, which is literally just "shield toad". It's just the world's components being read too literally.
