The figure is a life-size version of the "SONIC THE HEDGEHOG DNA FIGURE," a new type of figure that synthesizes DNA based on a character's traits and seals it inside the figure. Sega designed Sonic's DNA from characteristics including blue body, supersonic speed, love of adventure, and free and cool personality. Alongside the figure, a panel showing Sonic's DNA blueprint will be set up at the store. The display runs from June 23 at SEGA STORE TOKYO on the 6th floor of Shibuya PARCO.
