- The history of Sonic The Hedgehog plushes is long and complicated. Sonic is a character who has gone through many design changes in his time, and as a character with so much evolution, many different types of plushes have come out. However, with so many existing nowadays, it can be easy to forget where it all started. So, today, we'll be taking a look at the earliest known released Sonic plush set, the 1991 SEGASonic The Hedgehog UFO Catcher plush set. This set includes Sonic, Eggman, and even some animal buddies, Along with that, we'll be covering some variant sets including the plushes on karts and Santa Sonic plushes. Are these plushes still worth looking for all these decades later? Let's find out.

Why are you telling people to kill themself? That’s no good!
What do you mean by that?
Ur awsom
I miss SSMA
17:41 Finally, my life long desire to have a Pecky plush that can hold my pencils or something has been fulfilled.
Personally, I NEED to have a dr. Robotnik plush to hold my succulent houseplant!
Need a tails plush to hold my school supplies.
WYATTMAN HABEL ditto and knuckles
Funny
i need a pecky plush to hold my sonic figures
If someone is messing up your good looks by making a strange plush in a way that you don't like, that's no good!
Are you Justin Y’s Brother.

Snoopers!
@Birds In Crime I was asking that because they are both everywhere.
@@soniuigi43 Forgot the"?"
5:44 is that what they used as a base for sonic's movie design
they did take some creative liberties
It came back to haunt Sega.
lol
Yes.
Probably
These videos always go so into detail and are so well constructed no wonder I've gotten into plush collecting myself!
same!
Yeah me too.
I’m gonna collect plushies when I’m older
Thanks to this dude, I ended up getting a Banjo and Kazooie plush, along with a Mumbo plush for less than what Banjo+Kazooie have sold for themselves in a bundle on eBay tonight. I feel that was pretty lucky, despite being by far the most I've ever paid for plushies before...
Same
Always a great day when PatMac posts! Even though I don’t collect Sonic merch specifically, I love your videos on Sonic stuff, because you clearly have so much love for the franchise that you go out of your way to make content based around obscure stuff that people like me would never get to see otherwise. Keep it up!
I'm so glad, I'm subscribed to your channel. Because of the way you talk about it, and what happened to plushies and the prices at times. It really explains a lot about them. Really great channel, I have been watching for a while now, so I thought I'd comment since I really like your content :D
Keep it up man!
PatMac - The greatest plush collector. Also a very dedicated Sonic the Hedgehog fan.

♡ I was actually very pleasantly surprised to see that they included dear, sweet Flicky in the line, kinda surprised they didn't make a bigger deal over her inclusion though, as she predates Sonic's game releases! (Also, might be one of her only pieces of physical merch, I'm unsure) Her self titled game "Flicky" debuted for an arcade system first, & then SG-1000 (in 1984* I believe!)
* an excerpt from her wiki page;
"Flicky was first ported to the SG-1000 in Japan, and then later to other Japanese home consoles. In 1991, Flicky was released in North America and Europe on the Sega Genesis. The character has continued to hold cameo appearances in Sega video games, most notably within the Sonic the Hedgehog series."
She was included in Sega Smashpack 2 for PC, which is how I got the chance to play as a kid, if you ever get the chance I suuuper recommend it, it's adorable AND lots of fun! ♡
Now I've gotta try to catch one of these sOfty~gOrls for myself! 🐣🐣🐣🐦 😻
Oh my god! you finally did the SegaSonic 1991 Plush set! what a time to be alive! great video!
Your pfp is cool
5:43 hey look, it’s movie sonic
He would've been better than that monstrosity.
OoF Ya ThAtS RiGhT
it wasn't inspired by that, in fact, they made their own design without using the artwork.
I just discovered this channel a couple days ago and it's instantly become one of my favorites, I've already seen most of the videos on your channel and and dreading the moment when I finally run out! I've always been into collecting plushes casually but I never knew there was a community of serious collectors like with figures, and the way you tell these stories makes them so compelling, interesting and funny. These videos have restarted the burning drive in me to start making custom plushes again! I've done a couple in the past, so I'm still relatively new to it, but I'd given up and lost interest in the craft many months ago. Recently, I've spent my free time planning out patterns and sewing while watching your videos, so thank you for reigniting that flame for me! Looking forward to seeing more.
PS; I'd love to hear some recommendations for similar channels to this, for when I inevitably run out of videos on here.
Thank you so much! Wow, it’s amazing that my videos can inspire someone like that! Haha yeah, it’s crazy that plushes have such a huge community like they do. I love custom plushes though, so I’m excited to hear you’ll be making some! I don’t have many customs, but they’re so awesome. As for other channels similar to mine, I don’t really know off the top of my head lol. I started making these videos because no one else was lol. I hope you enjoy my future videos though! Thanks!
@@PatMacYT mate! I need some info! Whered you get that big sonic plush at 7:54 !?!? Please tell!
Ngl the 1991 stringy boi Sonic is probably one of my favorite Sonic plush designs. He's kind of goofy looking and simplistic sure, but he's extremely cute and charming imo, the style of it honestly kind of reminds me the little toy Eggman capsules from Sonic 2, or the little Richter Belmont 1-up plushies from Castlevania.
I love your style and humor. I dont own a single piece of sonic merch but now i know so much thanks to you
SegaSonic.
That's hot
Thanks
@@segasonic5657 YO, IT’S THE REAL SEGASONIC!
22:23 Sonic! Let Tails in! You can't just abandon him out there like that!
I clicked this video on accident and the first thing I heard was "oh wait where were we oh yeah string boi"
What a jumpscare
PatMac should make a video about his plush whole collection and he should do a face reveal. Who's with me? Btw another awesome video!
me
Maybe not the face reveal, but the Plush collection could be cool.
I would like a spreadsheet of how much he paid for each one
You need to talk about the original starfox plushes
Facts
And it’s from Boshi so it’s automatically required
Wow, I never knew that I needed the animal buddies! They have so much charm!
Pecky and his five star Ferrari do be looking cool
Guess what? Tikal just got a plush!
"Some are huge" * sees a big Sonic plush * me: ok :)
"Some are small" * sees small Sonic plush *
Me:
:0 smol sonic ajzhchvdh
The Tails plush was my first ever Sonic plush I’ve ever gotten in my whole life, despite the fact that it’s a bootleg plush, it captures the design for Tails in Sonic X, even though I wanted the official TOMY 25th anniversary plush of Classic Tails from the video games
I have never been so interested in sonic until I found your channel! Love your videos
To be honest, i actually greatly appreciate the Flicky plush in particular, because it also doubles as the only merchandise for the original Flicky arcade game, which i absolutely love. The other two animal buddies are a bit bland (though holding some baskets are radical) but Flicky herself has some interesting history. Apparently people at Sega loved her design so much that she kinda stuck around thoughout games way beyond her own.
Found your channel by chance; didn't expect to watch these vids for hours today
I have so much...
1. Thanks for uploading
2. I never knew you had any of the plus he's!
3. What's taken you so long?
4. You're probably the best person to cover info about merchandise.
5. 👌
19:27 so thats it folks. sonic hes no legs STOP GIVING HIM HUMAN FEET HE DOESNT HAVE FEET
B. O. I
He has feet but their not like human feet
Honestly I love these videos and I get hyped when they come out soo thx!
(One day I would like to see a video of a look back at the super Mario banpresto figures)
Thank you! I'd love to make a video on those! The Popco releases in America from the late 2000s are super nostalgic for me, so I'd love to go in-depth on their history someday.
I love seeing a new video from you in my sub box! They always brighten up my day, as well as put me in a shopping mood.
I love these plushes! They have a real timeless look (same can be said for the original Classic Sonic design) with its super simple design, and the noodly limps made of rope material are really charming.
Thanos:*SNAP*
Sonic:what is that purple goon
5:37
1:13 Those characters on the right page are the Sonic Bodyguard Platoon, human-animal hybrids that look like Playboy Bunnies for some reason.
“This is what fans call Stringy Sonic”
*Sigh* Add that Sonic to the Sonic list
Patmac, this is a good channel. You are really obscure but good. I like to watch this channel at 4 or 5 a.m. it relaxes me.
The SegaSonic thing remainds me of Transformers and how sometimes hasbro has to call characters 'Autobot Jazz' or stuff like that.
This needs more views the video is so freaking great 10/10
I love me some Stringy boi.
7:53 My god that Sonic is so damn nice! What's the manufacturer please? I've never seen a modern Sonic that beautiful !
Its a russian bootleg, really hard to find tho
@@the-voyager So sad :(
This is such a sweet channel. I love stringy boy !!
Even though these plushes are over thirty years old, there still timeless to this day. 🔵💨
24:04 Pecky's car is really a 6-Star Ferrari.
"Where were we? Oh yeah, *_string boi_* "- PatMac 2019. One of the BEST quotes ever.
I have always been into collecting,but never liked plushies,seen one of your videos by accident,watched all of them later.
At first i found it strange that someone would be so into plushies but now i kinda of get,i like to Respect every kind o hobby,and i have to say,now you made me want a stringy Sonic.
patmac you should totally give us a room tour, i think it would be an amazing treat to see the entirety of your impressive collection
This video is wayyyyy past cool! Another astonishing review by the man himself, PatMac!
I love the stringy boi
Ok! Pocky Generations has to be an actual game! If it happens, I'm pre-ordering it along with all the DLC and microtransactions!
If only they didn't scrap Madonna so she could have a plush made of her...
Please do the SegaWorld set next!
i fucking LOVE stringy boy and orb man i want them so bad. i love the simple felt his face is so endearing
I love stringy Sonic he’s really cute I even bought it on eBay last week.
I ALMOST have the whole thing I am just missing the bunny thingy
You learn something new every time this boi uploads.
Former Tomy employee: how much’a the old sonic merch do ya want mam?
Me: yes
So sonicexe plush how can it be really
stringy sonic might just be the best sonic plush Ive ever seen
I love your collection and i wish I had one just like it, but without soap shoes sonic I don't think it will happen and your content is enough to make me want so much, and if it weren't for people like you I would've never started collecting so thanks PatMac.
I really want stringy sonic, it's so cool!
19:20 Uh Oh... we are going to have an is’shoe’ here.
I wish I had half the sonic plushes but I love your videos
That you have
The 1991 eggman plush looks like a Christmas ornament.
Awww Sonic looks ADORABLE
Yay another history video I love these man
You make me want to collect plushes
I’ve been waiting for an overview on these ❤️
This channel is so underated! Great video man!
im not even into the sonic franchise and its media but i keep coming back to this channel??
22:21 Uh Tails what are you peeking at?
Omg! I have the Tails in the stocking! My brother won it for me decades ago from an old UFO machine in an arcade.
finally what took you so long i've been waiting for this video my hole life!!!
This sonic is too pure to see what he has now become
Hey PatMac! Very insightful! I had no idea Sega condoned 10 year olds using lighters :)
Question: What do think is the status of the Tomy Sonic line? Do you think GE will start rereleasing their products?
It’s pretty safe to say the TOMY line is done, as Jakks Pacific is not making Sonic figures and plushes for 2019 and onwards. That being said that also means the 3” figures that haven’t been released such as Amy, Shadow, Eggman and Super Sonic will not be released, same for all of the Sonic Boom products that haven’t been released yet. That’s very sad, but I’m excited to see what Jakks will make, they’ve already confirmed Mighty and Ray figures! As for GE, they’ve already started rereleasing some plushes like Metal Sonic, Silver, and Super Sonic. They’ll rerelease all of their older plushes soon enough. They’ve also released a brand new 21” Rouge plush and have promised new characters are in the works as well.
I WANT THOSE PUSHES SOOOOO BADLY!!!! THEY ARE SOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!
I'm going to get a UFO catcher go kart SEGASONIC plush
I love you for this. I wanted a video like this for a while now :D
Everyone: Endgame is the most ambitious crossover ever.
Me: Snoot boi vs stringy boi
I have a sitting 1992 Sega Sonic plush with the tag and hangstring and will soon be getting a 1992 Dr. Robotik also with tag and hangstring.
there's a phenomenon with sonic plushies called They Will Always Be Slightly Ugly and i absolutely love it i want them all
I was watching this video non stop when I was gonna get my sega sonic plush delivered to my house
if i get a finger up sonic plush and both of its eyes fall off,im drawing derpy eyes on it.
bruh????
Aw the tails in christmas stocking looks so damn cute.
I need that absolute chad known as Pecky. I also need his car and basket.
PatMac goes to the japanese woods to find the one and only
*_snowboarding sonic statue_*
“Then Again, this set did give us the Plush Representation of Pecky Driving his 5 Star Ferrari”
Comedy Gold...
special shoutout to my friend Cam for getting me a SegaSonic Eggman for Christmas c:
Softboi and Stringyboi and Knuckles and Plantboi and MiniPlantboi and Phoneboi and Fluffy Boi : Feat. Dante from the Devil May Cry Series
Snoit boi
@kirbyfan123 oof both of them (the toy and Boris)
The first Sonic plush looks adorable.
2:03 B A S K E T B A L L E G G M A N
I want the tails summer plush so bad something about him is so dang cute to me
5:38 So I guess it's only me who noticed, but that art was surprisingly repurposed for the SegaSonic the Hedgehog title screen. If you compared both, it's very apparent. Obviously, there's no Mighty or Ray, but it's cool to see how they reused an asset that not many companies would think of doing.
1st sonic(stringy sonic) is a perfect 1st plush it shows the cartoony look
Sonic isn't really a favourite of mine but I love listening to your Sonic videos anyway along with your other stuff since they're just so relaxing. :)
(Also, what's with Eggman at 16:15? Is he some future version or something? I've no idea.)
Could you do a look back on the sonic Jazwares figures?
5:43 holy shit...movie sonic existed since the first game
Don't worry just sit there and waste your precious time. When you want to do something, do it right away.
Do It when you can
It's the only way to live a life without regrets

Now I need to make a custom Christmas stringy sonic
I love how smiley sonic is.... a happy boy
I thought sonic was posing like draw me like one of your mobius girls
