As a lifelong Sonic fan and collector, I have witnessed firsthand the struggles and frustration that fellow enthusiasts experience when trying to acquire the SA2 Soap Shoes Sonic Plush at a reasonable price. This item was once easily accessible and affordable, however, due to its limited production and Sega's refusal to consider a reissue, it has now become a target for scalpers who charge exorbitant prices—often upwards of $2000 on secondhand markets.

The SA2 Soap Shoes Sonic Plush is not just a toy; it's a cherished piece of gaming history for many fans who hold Sonic Adventure 2 dear to their hearts. By making this plush available again, Sega would not only satisfy countless Sonic devotees but also take a stand against scalping—a practice that unfairly capitalizes on collectors' passion and dedication.

Additionally, a reissue priced reasonably between $30–$50 would be accessible and just to those who missed out on the original release. Many fans have expressed their willingness to purchase a reissued plush at this price point, showing that there's strong demand ready to be met.

By reissuing the SA2 Soap Shoes Sonic Plush, Sega would reinforce its commitment to fostering a community where fans can enjoy and celebrate their beloved franchise without facing financial barriers contrived by third parties.

We appeal to Sega to consider this opportunity to bring joy to their fans and to combat the unethical practices that have plagued the collector community. Join us in this endeavor by signing the petition and showing Sega the widespread desire for a reissued SA2 Soap Shoes Sonic Plush. Together, we can make a change and restore accessibility to a piece of Sonic history.

It's been shown off and teased repeatedly that off at events and even hooters and yet Sega just DOESNT ever put it back on retail. The plushie is considered a holy Grail to many collectors like myself and yet Sega despite having the tools to do it won't. Most likely Sega has a load or warehouse of these they just didn't sell.
