    No they apparently had a ton of merchandise featuring ugly sonic that they decided to just destroy/throw out instead of trying to sell it. Idk why, I woulda totally bought an ugly sonic T-shirt.

        For full transparency I never verified that claim, but it would not be the most outlandish failure I’ve heard of. And at least they actually fixed the problem. Remember Cats?
