That's pretty cool; heck thats awesome with the Tails Doll. I'd be all over it if I had Little Big Planet... or a PS3.

As you can see Sega is marketing the werehog in hopes we'll forget how terrible it was to play as! And it'll work.

That Eggman add-on is a lot cuter than it has any right to be.

And...are those glasses of his heart-shaped?

The correct question should be: Why is the Werehog there? You know, instead of Metal Sonic, Amy, Big, Espio, Rouge, Charmy, Vector, Eggman Nega, Shadow, Blaze or even Silver?

Kinda want

Also: Eggman Jacket and Shades on Avatar Marketplace. Would totally buy that for a dollar. As long as it does cost as much as a game. 400 MSpoints for a light sabre? really? I dont even like Star Wars that much. I'll just keep my freebies from Halo Waypoint thank you very much!

I would've expected Shadow (him being the usual attention grab for the tweeny fanboy crowd) before the Werehog, with Silver as the second possibility - but at least we've found out who the new, new hard sell is going to be.

The lack of Amy - or indeed, any female representation at all - genuinely surprises me. Given the general assumption by marketing departments that boys in the target demographic're interested in plaing as males and vice versa (although I'd argue that franchises like Sonic and Mario illustrate why that thinking's a mistake), it seems like a large gap in strategy.

As one who has not played little big planet, what would the target demographic of lbp be? if it is aimed at players generally 18+, then they might be targeting those of the "old skool" era with disposable cash, instead of the tweens to start off with, perhaps venturing into deeper waters if these sackboy mods do well, especially since there that "ps3 sonic collection" idea banding about with the collection of the older sonic games that will probably be targeted at the 18+ generation.

That's one thing I'm good at, Hyper... Being right in the face of adversity.

...And Werehogs.

I think the heart-shaped glasses are less creepy.

I've just downloaded these, they're great fun. Only crit would be the lack of white coloring around their eyes, but you can quickly fix that with a couple of stickers.

One majorly creepy feature though - the Tails costume has lots of stitching around the back of the head and the zipper, and if you put red stickers over the eyes and something small sticking up from the top of the head...

This is incomplete without the addition of an object that allows your Sackperson to run through a loop de loop. Preferably with a checkered pattern and grass on the top.
