Happy 30th Anniversary to Sonic the Hedgehog SatAM! Were it not for this cartoon, we wouldn't have Archie Sonic as we know it! So we express our heartfelt thanks to Ben Hurst, as well as everyone at Sega and DIC for creating the DNA for the world's most radical comic series!
[C] 'Trollz 2005' Style: Sabrina and Cassandra by Mast3r-Rainb0w
A commission I made for a client via DeviantArt! It's Sabrina the Teenage Witch and her rival/friend Cassandra from Sabrina's Secret Life drawn in the artstyle of Trollz (2005)! Enjoy!
Portion of a 1995 Tokyo News Station segment about Otakon 95 in which executives from Bandai America and DIC Entertainment discuss their (poor) effort to westernize Sailor Moon for US consumers
This is obviously hilarious but it also speaks to how little understanding Bandai America and Dic had in anime as a genre, and how little faith they had in Sailor Moon and it’s intended audience (young girls) when they first decided to bring the anime to North America imo
Did you know that Brian Drummond previously voiced Knuckles in Sonic Underground (1999) before he voiced both Dr. Eggman & Mr. Dr. Eggman in Sonic Prime (2022-24)?
This plush is of Sally Acorn, and was available exclusively at SEGA World Sydney. It is currently the only official plush of Sally, and was released in 1997.
The plush was available in multiple sizes. A hand puppet version was also released.

Other plushes were released of Sonic characters in their SatAM/AoSTH designs:
DIC is responsible for some of the largest names of the 80s and 90s, it was even under Disney for awhile however you'd probably never know it's been recreated into Wildbrain and handling Legos biggest Golden Goose Lego Ninjago
It's up a few days early because I must have scheduled it wrong oh well here it is! My full retrospective on Sonic SatAM, made a year ago for my Patreon patrons as a follow-up to the Sonic Underground retrospective, is now public!
SatAM is certainly a better show than Underground, but by how much? And could it be just as bad at its worst? (Can it ever.)
