Along with Other Promotional Figurines
Take note, SatAM and Archie fans: This may be Sally Acorn as you’ve never seen her before.
The EBay seller putting this up for purchase at $100 claims it’s from 1991. Many of you are probably thinking that Sally didn’t come to exist until 1993, with the beginning of both the comic and television series. As it turns out, that’s not quite the case; Sega did have an unnamed squirrel with a pink bow included in an origins comic distributed in 1991.
What you see here appears to be that squirrel, with one major difference: It came from Europe as part of a separate promotional release, according to the seller.
The seller also has other Sonic figurines for sale, but some of the years don’t match up; for example, here’s a Knuckles figurine also purportedly from 1991. But other listing do make sense, like the ones for a Motobug and Burrobot figurine.
If you want to take the plunge but are worried about the authenticity of any of these figurines, worry not–the seller as a 100% positive feedback rating.

I want that…why? It looks nothing like Sally! 8D
That’s because its not Sally Acorn from the Archie Comics. Its a concept character named “Sally” from a different continuity, whom has appeared in more than one (the only one she HASN’T appeared in is the game continuity; she cameos in one non-canon game, Sonic Spinball, and in the manual of Sonic CD, Amy is called Sally, but other than that, Sally doesn’t exist in the games).
Actually, this Sally looks like Sally from Fleetway’s Sonic the Comic.
It’s the animal type in the old games… the “Sally Acorn” akin to a “Flicky”, “Porker Lewis”, or “Johnny Light-foot” the of Sally Acorn from the games – just got converted into a character for the TV series, and comics.
While the Knuckles listing is probably just a lack of knowledge on the subject, it’s more than likely that their talk on Sally is on the mark; the squirrel went by both that name and Ricky, depending on where you lived.
These, I believe are French “cake topper” figurines. There is a whole set of them including Sonic, Tails, Knux, a load of badniks and Sally. I think $100 is a little overpriced, as if you’re sharp enough you can pick up the whole set for about $30 on ebay.fr. I’d agree with Pur as far as lack of research being the reason they’re listed from 1991.
Thats the sally I know and love to that Satam thing.
They look custom made, I don’t believe this guy.
Bootleg sellers can have 100% feedback rating too, it’s not uncommon.
Try carbon dating it?
No. Just no.
I smell bs
What the hell?
That’s suppose to be ricky
