A new Sonic Adventure 2-themed statue of both Sonic and Shadow is being produced by the company S-Fire. Long time Sonic series artist Kazuyuki Hoshino is also heavily hinting that he is supervising the project and we can certainly see his influence on the statue. The attention to detail is phenomenal with Sonic even sporting his iconic SA2 Soap shoes. Check out some more images of the statue below:
   
The SA2 Sonic & Shadow statue by S-Fire has no scheduled release date at this time. Keep an eye on the S-Fire website for further updates.

SEGA Mania is a brand new, full colour print fanzine from Tim Hugall, Simon Pike and Sam Forrester with a huge emphasis on reviving the 1990s. The team make no qualms about wearing their influences on their sleeves, as the magazine is a clear homage to the wild west of UK SEGA magazines like Mean Machines SEGA, MegaTech, SEGA Power and SEGA Force, but now with the modern advantage of hindsight.
Read our full review of the first issue by clicking this link.
SEGA Mania issue 1 can be ordered from the SEGA Mania Online Store.

The Mega Drive Mini is getting another accessory in the form of the Mega Drive Tower Mini Zero. Releasing exclusively in Japan, this is a miniature Power Base Converter (or Mega Adapter as its known in Japan) that comes with two cartridges of Penguin Land and Alex Kidd in Miracle World. The accessory is entirely cosmetic and doesn’t allow you to play these games on a Mega Drive Mini.
The release of the Mega Drive Tower Mini Zero is actually to coincide with the release of Lost Judgment which also features an in-game Master System that allows you to play Alex Kidd in Miracle World within the actual game world of Lost Judgment.
The Mega Drive Tower Mini Zero will release in Japan on October 21st 2021 and will cost 4,950 yen which currently converts to around £31.93.
