Back when I was a lad, you couldn’t release a popular movie adaptation without swamping high street shelves with branded tie-in items. Toys, clothes, trading cards, board games, pregnancy kits, (well, maybe not the last one), but whether it was Batman, TMNT, or Fire Walk With Me, (well, maybe not the last one), movies and merch went hand-in-hand.
Keeping the spirit of ’91 alive, Sega has announced that Paramount’s upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog movie will also be getting a full range of tie-in merchandise. While there are no pictures of these goodies to show off, the legendary publisher promises a range of figurines and playsets, including plush toys and a tie-in with fancy-pants mall store Build-A-Bear.
