Your Chao Merchandise?
So following from what was mentioned on my twitch livestream, what Chao Merchandise do you have? I only know of a few that exist! (Official ones I mean, there are a lot of fan made ones!)
First are these Chao Plush from Sonic Adventure 1 Dreamcast in Japan, you could only get them from the UFO catcher machines! I want one so bad especially the NiGHTS one!

These keychains were also released for Sonic Adventure 1 in Japan
http://dcmedia.ign.com/media/toys/sonickey/sonicall.jpg
I think a Hero and Dark Chao plush were made as well for Sonic Adventure 2 Battle though!
The only recent ones I know of are these: There is this keychain from Sonic X I believe
And this Chao plush from GE (Great Eastern) Entertainment
This keychain is from a Sonic Boom event in 2012:
Lastly this Chao Bobble Head from Sonic Boom 2013!
If you have any of these let us know! Or know of any more, or have pictures of your own!

Re: Your Chao Merchandise?
It's so rare to see chao merchandise after SA2B faded away. I think I'd really like some sort of small chao plush just so I can put him on my shelf of gifted objects.
The closest I own to any chao related merchandise is some Sonic plush toys, which are not at all related to chao. I can't ever remember seeing merchandise for a chao around where I live.

Re: Your Chao Merchandise?
I don't have any official chao merchandise, but a friend commissioned an artist to make me a clay statue of a chao. I enjoyed it when I had it, but it got smashed. RIP tiny chao statue.

The Great Eastern plushes are small (4.5 inches tall) and cheaper than the other plushes (the rare ones are in the hundreds!)Fox Boy wrote:It's so rare to see chao merchandise after SA2B faded away.

Re: Your Chao Merchandise?
^Thanks for the Amazon link. Cream and the Chao are likely to be in my next Amazon order. Is it a generic normal-type Chao or is it actually Cheese? And if it's just a Generic normal-type, any suggestions on how to obtain and appropriately sized Red bowtie that doesn't have to be tied? I'm assuming that's the only Chao plush in circulation without either commissioning an artisan or paying collector prices. Also, quite cool that, based on the descriptions, the Chao and Cream plushies are roughly the same height ratio to each other as Cheese and Cream are according to Sonic X's eyecatches.
Anyways, there's a lot more official Chao merchandise than I thought(granted, I thought there was none).
I would totally love a life-size Chao Doll made of foam rubber, silica gel, or some other squishy material(I'm thinking, the closer the material resembles the squishiness and jiggliness of body fat and the surface texture of a newborn's skin, the more hugging the doll would resemble hugging a real chao).

The link I gave was just the Chao on it's own - I couldn't find a cream & cheese combo - did you get a link?Jeffery Mewtamer wrote:^Thanks for the Amazon link. Cream and the Chao are likely to be in my next Amazon order.
Or maybe you are referring to the "Frequently Bought Together" suggestions - which would then be a Cream plush on it's own and the Chao linked above on it's own (which is indeed just a regular Chao with now bowtie)

Re: Your Chao Merchandise?
I actually own three of the Chao Bobble Heads, as I attended Sonic Boom 2013 (only one is on display though), but they're the only official Chao merch I own.

Re: Your Chao Merchandise?
I actually do have a few of these. I have two of the newer Chao plushes, one from my parents and one from a former girlfriend. I think i only have one of the keychain sets, with the three different Chao, but I lost track of them. And for my birthday this year, my girlfriend got me one of those bobble heads! Mine is #0495 of 1300. I'm holding out for the hopes of having #0307 someday, but I know the odds are low. Until then I keep little 495 on my desk.
I would gladly go back in time to use one of those UFO catchers for the Chao. I love UFO catchers over the typical claw machines you see in the United States, and even a chance to see those seams on those Chao would be satisfying.
Also a funny, but related note: I have a statue of Blue Unit-00 from Neon Genesis Evangelion that has a base that looks just like the Sonic Adventure keychains, which makes me wonder if they have the same manufacturer. If so, those little stands should come off.
EDIT:
Doing a quick ebay search, I did find some products that Mooncow did not mention.
There is a spiral notebook that seems to be official:
A matching binder:
A hat:
And certain Sonic action figures that came paired with Chao:
Everything except for the action figures are reasonably priced.
There also was an ebay listing for the metal keychain that was very reasonable:

Re: Your Chao Merchandise?
@Mooncow: Yeah, I'm talking about the Cream Plush in the Frequently bought together field(no idea why Rouge is also listed there though). I usually go to that part of the product page and then remove the items I don't want from my cart on account of how hard the plain Add to Cart button is to find with a screen reader(I use to use Amazon's mobile site, but then they changed things, and while I'm still using the old mobile version of Amazon's homepage, product search, cart, and Account stuff, I get redirected to the desktop site when I click on product links).
Still, I really should find a red bowtie to put on the Chao Chao and call him Cheese.
Hmmm, would be beyond me, but I wonder how practical it would be to dye the official plushies to get a set of monotone Chao.

Re: Your Chao Merchandise?
I have heard of all of these except for that adorable Boom event keychain! I would also love to own one of those official chao plushes, MoonCow But I do happen to know of some other official chao items.
What about the chao statue from the cancelled Sonic Chess set? It's quite difficult to find today, as are the other statues shown in the pic.
Here's a Sonic Adventure chao figure that was wrongly branded as Cheese the Chao. Note the lack of a bowtie or a smiley mouth.
A SA2B lanyard, featuring Sonic, Shadow and some chao. Okay, I need this.
And finally, I managed to find the official Dark chao plush.
I wish I could just own all of this stuff.... Sadly, I own none of it.

Re: Your Chao Merchandise?
Got my Cream and Chao Plushies a little over a week ago. They're presently hanging on a hook in my bedroom. The Chao plushie was even smaller than I expected. A red mini-hairbow(like you see on the ends of small, braided pigtails sometimes) might actually be a bit on the large size for making the Chao into Cheese.

Re: Your Chao Merchandise?
Oh, I also found this pic! There are some ADORABLE official chao figures here, a Sonic chao with bunny ears, a NiGHTS-like chao and a little normal one! Probably made around the time of Adventure 1. But you know something else? All the figures here were never released. And that makes me so mad, because this site is living proof that there are still active Chao fans, and I know we ALL want to own these figures really.

Re: Your Chao Merchandise?
^ Also makes me mad they were never released. And is it just me, or is that a Sonic Chao figure?
I realized that the Chess set Chao are pawns, which means there'd be 8 of those Chao figures altogether, if we are to believe there is one fully completed set that was never released.
1-You actually meant SA2.
2-These were released before SA2, and it actually let some people get a glimpse of Hero and Dark Chao before SA2 was released!

Just wanna point out that Hero Chao didn't exist in SA1, so that either means:Mooncow wrote:First are these Chao Plush from Sonic Adventure 1 Dreamcast in Japan, you could only get them from the UFO catcher machines! I want one so bad especially the NiGHTS one!

Re: Your Chao Merchandise?
Sorry if I'm clogging up the thread a bit.... I just keep finding interesting cases involving Chao merchandise
So, back when Sonic X was released, Japan got some awesome dolls! Y'know, excluding Chris....
Even Cheese got his own doll. But there's something strange in this picture. Yes, that's right, there's a frowning Cheese doll!
But then they released another pic, this time with a smiley Cheese! Yay!
And to this day, no one has ever owned a frowning Cheese plush.... Why it appeared in the first picture? No-one knows....
Rawr! Srry 4 bad qualiteh!

Re: Your Chao Merchandise?
You know what would be a totally awesome Chao-related toy?
A Chao version of Mr. potato Head.
Think about it, they could make a bunch of plain bodies and heads(say, one per first evolution), with the had having slots for various facial features, animal ears/head crests, and maybe different versions of the emotion ball while the body has slots for different wings, arms, feet, and tails. A core set could include a matching body and head along with a default face and plain arms, feet, tail, and wings and then there could be an accessory pack for each small animal that contains all of the animal parts for that animal as well as an accessory pack with alternative faces and the race medals.
Just imagine having a garden's worth of customized Chao figures sitting on a display shelf, and if you get tired of looking at them, you can take them apart, mix-and-match pieces, and soon have a different garden's worth of Chao figures sitting on your display shelf.
A guy can dream.

Re: Your Chao Merchandise?
I have the little mini plush, I got it from PAX prime last year, it has a string to hang it so its hanging over my computer.
I also have the keychain which I got years ago at another convention.
I remember seeing those big plush in the crane machines, my mom actually had the normal one in the claw but it fell last minute. I always wanted one...

Re: Your Chao Merchandise?
I have none :c here in the UK there was never really Sonic stuff being sold in plush form, only in a catcher and that was the characters,not the chao's and only at parks I could only visit once due to so far away.
I so want that NiGHTS Chao plush it is so cute! I may just make my own in the end

Re: Your Chao Merchandise?
I think I remember seeing sonic and shadow in the UFO catchers here in the UK, they were a bit small though. If i saw a Chao one in there I would keep playing until I got it though!
You're right, from what I can tell the NiGHTS chao and neutral Chao were released with SA1, and another different neutral Chao was released with SA2 and also hero/dark Chao. Not sure on the availability of them though!chaoadventures wrote:Just wanna point out that Hero Chao didn't exist in SA1, so that either means:Mooncow wrote:First are these Chao Plush from Sonic Adventure 1 Dreamcast in Japan, you could only get them from the UFO catcher machines!

If you count custom Chao plushies, then take a look on Ebay or Etsy. I stumbled upon a seller who sells Chao plushes and if you message them for a custom commission, I am sure they will sell you a fine plush of your chao you have in mind!
How was that? Perfect, like me?
