Featuring a 12-inch statue of Sonic standing atop a Sega Genesis (which plays the classic "Sega!" startup sound), a collector's card, a Genesis-style cartridge, collectible Sonic ring, and a code for Mania, the Collector's Edition is currently available to preorder for $69.99. Check out our unboxing of the special edition above, or dive into our gallery below for a closer look at what's included.
