Earlier this yr, SEGA revealed a life-size Sonic statue that contained the hedgehog’s “DNA” (sure, actually), housed within the Shibuya SEGA retailer. Within the months since, a visit to Tokyo has been the one means you could possibly get a take a look at the bizarre creation, however you will quickly be capable to have one in your house… for those who can abdomen the insane price ticket.
As delivered to our consideration by Dexerto, the “DNA”-filled statue will quickly be accessible as a smaller figurine for an eye-watering ¥3,300,000 (which is round $20,000 or £16,000, for these questioning). It is now accessible to pre-order from the Kadokawa retailer and is anticipated to ship (oh sure, the above value does not embody transport) in January 2027 — not that it issues, as a result of who’s shopping for this??
Let’s get to the “DNA” elephant within the room. Very similar to its life-sized counterpart, the determine’s filling has been created by the science and artwork staff LOM BABY, which has labored to re-create Sonic’s DNA based mostly on his look and bodily traits. The “DNA” itself is made with nucleic acid, for the biologists on the market, and is housed inside a Chaos Emerald in a translucent part of the determine’s chest.
The silver determine encasing stands at a little bit underneath 10 inches tall on a blue base with a novel serial quantity on the underside. You realize what, it is in all probability higher that you simply simply see it for your self.
Actually, we assumed that the $6,330 porcelain Sonic statue that we noticed just a few weeks again can be the strangest little bit of SEGA merch we lined for some time, however this… this blows all the things else out of the water.
