This is Hot Topic's 3rd Sonic offering for Winter 2008. It's also probably the most creative of their selection, and does not feature "fake wear" to the design. They've taken 'laughin' stock Sonic', added a grid and a shadow for a distincive look. The font at the top is an English one made to look like Japanese letters, along the lines of 'Electroharmonix' etc. The bottom has his name in actual Japanese letters.
