Skiing Sonic. Why did they bother? Sonic has NEVER skiied. Not even once, as far as I know, in any game. Yet...here he is. Sonic SNOWBOARDS. They should pay some attention. His boards were actually really cool most of the time too--would've made an awesome accessory with a graphic on the bottom.
You can see at least 2 prototypes of this figure on the Prototypes Page. (TODO: fix link)
