The Sonic Chess set and other bits and bobs

So we finally have some photos of the Gaya Entertainment range of classic Sonic stuff as seen over at the German website Spin Dash (thank Barry for finding these). Nice to finally see a classic Amy and Robotnik show up somewhere in all this stuff!

Squeeze toys for crushing in your hand over the many disappointments and frustrations that come in hand with being a Sonic fan!

Smaller squeezie keychains! The same deal but obviously smaller and with key chains attached to their noggins!

But best of all the Sonic Chess set (or '3D chess' as it says on the box just in case you've only ever played chess under a steamroller before). Notable for being the first classic Amy merchandise outside of Japan EVER, I believe.

A shame most of the pieces are just rings rather than say, badniks or something of that ilk. The rings aren't even gold painted! Oh well, you could always yank the rings out of their stand and chuck them all over the place if someone bumps into you, if you're odd like that.

So far I'm not aware if, where and when these are being released, but I'm pretty sure they won't just stay in Germany, or at least I hope not.
