Game developer, SEGA Europe Ltd and Halloween costume designer, Rubies Masquerade Co. have teamed up to launch a redesigned collection of Sonic the Hedgehog costumes for families in Europe. The collection will modernize and celebrate the iconic “Blue Blur” with the introduction of more costume sizes designed to fit the whole family.
The new collection will introduce infant sizes and include dress-up masks featuring Sonic and his friends Tails, Knuckles, and Amy. The costumes will have more detailed designs to show texture in each character’s fur as well as in their outfits.
“Our original costumes have always been popular with fans, so with fresh sizes and designs, we expect to see better performance than ever,” says Mike O’Connell, managing director at Rubies Masquerade Co. “Sonic the Hedgehog has an ever-increasing audience thanks to its longevity as a brand. Seeing individuals who were fans of it in the 1990s and early 2000s having children of their own and sharing their passion with them makes the collection even more meaningful.”
Currently, only the revamped Sonic the Hedgehog costume is available on Rubies Masquerade Co.’s website, with more set to debut later this year.
