For the Low, Low Price Of…
With the global economic downturn affecting everyone in every tax bracket, it’s always amusing to see big ticket items still selling on the world’s electronic marketplace–EBay–for big bucks. Rare Sonic items are still easy to find on the site, and if you’ve got the money, you can sometimes get your hands on a little piece of the blue hedgehog’s history.
But in this climate, does anyone seriously have ten thousand dollars?
That’s how much you need to buy this toy, dubbed the “World’s Rarest Sonic Gem.” This “gem” is a Knuckles doll from the Sonic Adventure era, developed by Toy Island. It’s on Dr. Eggman backing card. The seller claims the misprint is the only one in existence.
If you “Buy it Now” for $10,000, you can get the toy shipped for free–that apparently includes international shipments. If you don’t quite have the big bucks, the seller is allowing you to make an offer. But bidding is not a part of the auction.
The offer ends March 1st, and this is certainly something worth following up on. Would you pay $10,000 for such a toy? Let us know in the comments box below.

i would not buy a Knuckles toy for that much money are they crazy if i did how would i be able to buy more of Sonic’s upcomming games <_< and as a toy i wouldnt buy a toy i am to old for those like are they serious about saling a toy like really now -_-
……….Wow……….
I seriously have no words. The dude actually expects $10K+ Just because it was packaged wrong? $30 I can see, but $10K??!! Fuck no….
he’s lieing… i have that toy, and it’s old. Don’t buy it for that much. i actually got mine for free.
I know. I bought it for my cousin a few years back.
who the **** would buy that
Uhhh… I don’t think he’s serious about wanting 10k, it’s more of a noob lol thing, not a legitimat buy it now. He obviously just wants to auction it the old fashioned way.
I have the same one. Got it like 7 years ago for a few bucks.
Yeah same here, but I’s also gots Tails, Sonic, Amy and Super!
The reason it’s so rare is because of the misprint – AKA, it’s a Knuckles bendable figure that’s been glued to a Eggman cardboard paper, instead of to the knuckles one. That in of itself doesint justifty spending 10,000$ though…Atleast for me. Theres gonna be SOMONE out there who feels it’s worth the cash…
Heck no im not paying 10 big ones just for a little toy
Seriously?
….seriously. Ten grand. For a crappily made Knuckles toy.
This seller fails so hard. SO hard..
Down Syndrome Knuckles
And I hope no one is stupid enough to buy it. I was just starting to regain some faith in humanity.
Yeah. C’mon Sonic fanbase, don’t fucking ruin me again….
… I have nothing to say but PRICE FAIL!
I thought that too Phos.
Switch some colors around and bingo.
Why would I want to spend that much when things like this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sonic-the-Hedgehog-Mannequin_W0QQitemZ230321222572QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Toys_Games_TV_Film_Character_Toys_ET?hash=item230321222572&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A16|39%3A1|240%3A1318 occasionally show up for half that much?!
I bought that toy in a 5 pack (and a few Chaos Emeralds) for 10 bucks at the local store. But 10,000 for a fraction of that? An obvious joke.
For $10,000, the guy selling this is an idiot. I could be so much nastier.
…..He so fails at life lol.
Hey Sonication, join me in the return of “MOAR PHAILUR”
Whoa…
I’m speechless. That crappy little toy costs more than the new MacBook I’ve been saving up for. What kind of retard would actually pay for that thing?!
The toy’s quality is total crap, and even if you bought it because it’s still in the original packaging, noone would buy it back from you.
No way is that worth it.
Now that giant Sonic statue in Europe, that’s worth the $1000 it was sold for. This doesn’t come close. I’d pay maybe $2 for it.
