My latest find was a set of SEALED Sonic The Hedgehog Happy Meal toys from 1995 - 20 years old, potentially older than some of my readers.
So of course, I decided to upset some collectors and tear into the 20-year-old plastic bags for my latest unboxing video.
In the 90s, McDonald's Happy Meal toys came in smaller sets, usually of four or five - unlike the sheer mountains they bring out nowadays - so the complete set only contains four figures; Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Dr Robotnik - I originally thought they were from Sonic & Knuckles, which was the Sonic game released in 1995 - but they're actually from Sonic The Hedgehog 3, the US had these figures two years previously, in 1993.
Here's some close-up photographs of each toy:

Shelly managed to find the original US commercial for these figures on YouTube - it's quite funny.
Also, notice how the design of the Tails toy has changed? Perhaps the original design was dangerous?
