With Sonic the Hedgehog 3 still a few weeks away from hitting movie theater screens across the globe, it’s obviously time for corporations to start promoting it with all kinds of nonsensical merchandise. As with the previous two live-action Sonic movies, McDonald’s has acquired exclusive rights to gimmicky toys. We’re now starting to see official commercials for the upcoming Happy Meal sets. They’re, um… unique, I guess you can say.

As a 36-year-old who hasn’t been to McDonald’s in over a decade, I don’t really know if kids still flock to the Golden Arches. At the very least, I appreciate that we’re in an era where video games don’t seem to be marketed exclusively to children, though it’s weird to see realistic Sonic morphed down into a plastic toy. Also, what the hell even is that toy? A hamster wheel?

There’s no word on when these toys will hit your local McDonald’s (or Macca’s if you’re in Australia), but it should be within the next few days. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 hits theaters on December 20th, 2024, and is sure to be a holiday hit.
