This toy is totally cool. It's really durable so you can do almost anything to it. This toy is defenatly not educational because Sonic is a character from Sega Genises and Dreamcast games. It's fun 'cause you can play with it, ..., or anything you like (just don't blow it up. It's not that durable)! Sonic the Hedgehog is the main character in a lot of Sega games, so if you like the games, it's a "must." This toy comes with a stand, ring, and sticker. Like I said, it's a "must" if you're a fan!
