Celebrating my first and favorite Sonic the Hedgehog game (& Knuckles)! I started making stop motion animations with Sonic toys when I was around 11 years old (one year before YouTube launched!), and I never thought I'd still be doing this in my thirties; young me would be proud 😂
It's interesting seeing the online comic book movie community reject this dude for toxic and obnoxious behavior (a pretty appropriate response) when in the Sonic fandom, screaming over products and offering no genuine substance whatsoever will grant you micro-celebrity status!

Update Mk. II:
Runtime just got longer! Sometimes, additional content can be placed into the script seamlessly, but usually, stuff like this means rewrites. It's more work, but I never wanna do that thing where I randomly stop the video and go, "Hi, FuTuRe AlEx HeRe" then hastily dump new info 😂

I don't think my "finished" script for the Mecha Sonic documentary I'm doing will ever truly be finished 🙃
Wish they would stop releasing cool shit (that I absolutely need to cover) for just TWO SECONDS 😭

Quick update on "Mecha Sonic’s Identity Crisis," the documentary I'm working on:
... It's still coming! Added 15+ minutes to the total runtime to include recent content and additional info I picked up while researching. I can't work on it full-time, but I am working diligently!

'90s/early aughts Sonic media outside Japan would have characters with names like "Johnathan Frog" and it'd be some shit like this

Customized the Giant Mecha Sonic figure to have the "MS" insignia like in @judytotoya.bsky.social's production art; now it feels complete!
I was torn on whether or not to have the sticker colored but ultimately went with red to match the mono-eye/feet and complement Mechagodzilla's symbol

The first thing @segasimp.bsky.social and I set up in our room was this Sonic 2-themed display; very happy with how it turned out!

I post about Mecha Sonic a lot because he's constantly on the brain thanks to the documentary I've been tirelessly working on; I can't wait for people to see it.
And WHAT a great time to be uploading videos, too, what with YouTube being in the best place it's ever been and all!

Still in disbelief that Jakks actually made this happen! Eternally grateful to Mike Cisneros (Associate Director of Licensing at Sega) for this 🥹
This Giant Mecha Sonic is not only my new favorite Jakks figure, it's now one of my favorite figures, period!

I would've cried tears of joy if I got this figure pack in particular 30 years ago. This is gonna be some kid's first set of Sonic toys ever, and that's just so awesome 🥲

My spiciest Sonic hot take. Mk. II is a rad design, but I always preferred the relative simplicity of Sonic 2's Mecha Sonic.
Plus, if anyone's worthy of that name, I think it would be the one that's based on Mechagodzilla!
