(If you want me to turn this into a Sonic-themed Newgrounds Newsletter, hit me up! I might make something out of this.)
Tell me and let me know what you think! I know its a lot, and I'm feeling the heat too. But its all so worth it, guys. Trust me on this.

@TheMusicalManiac Speaking of sonic 30th anniversary, it’s about we get more merchandise of more obscure sonic characters. I gonna try to start a petition to get see if Jakks Pacific can make figures & possibly plushies of Fang, Bean, Bark, Ray, heavy & bomb. With Sega giving them permission to do so. They made a really good figure & plush of Mighty so I want to see if we can get some more. Yeah I know it’s a little fan servicey but there some of my favorite characters in the franchise & some of them don’t even have merch or it’s to expensive to get. Jakks recently renewed the sonic license & thank god cause it give me a chance to try & make this a reality (I hope). What do say you wanta help me make that happen?
Also sorry for this being so long XD

I like how you think. Heavy and Bomb might be tough as I'm not sure if they originate from Sega's creation or if that was Archie only. With Archie apparently the contract is a bit iffy (thanks Ken Penders, you bastard). But with Fang, Bean and Bark we can definitely get ahead with! (As they were in Sonic the Fighters!) Mighty and Ray they're (SEGA) definitely gonna make merch with but so far as I've seen no Jax's Toys stuff yet, might have to check. I'll sign your petition, and I know a lot of people will sign it too. I think it would be a great idea to start the petition on Change.org. You can make petitions for free and that everyone can sign with no need for donations. (If you're looking for Donations, though I don't recommend this, go to Kickstarter.)
