Super Sonico – the Mascot with Headphones
Some promotional mascots disappear after a season – this one got music videos, games, and her own anime series: Super Sonico was created in 2006 as the mascot for the Japanese studio Nitroplus's "Nitro Super Sonic" event and grew into a brand of her own. The character: a good-natured college student with pink hair who performs as the guitarist of her band, models on the side, and practically never takes off her oversized headphones. The 2014 anime series told her everyday life between college, jobs, and the stage. Internationally, though, Sonico became known above all for one thing: collectible figures in seemingly endless variations. At Elbenwald you'll find a compact, rotating selection of official Super Sonico figures – this category page shows the current status.
What makes Super Sonico stand out as a collecting motif?
Her versatility. Because Sonico doesn't play a fixed role in a story but functions as a character brand, figures let her do practically anything: make music, bake, sleep, pose in a swimsuit, or lounge on the couch in everyday clothes. Manufacturers across the Japanese figure industry have accordingly rendered her in countless interpretations – from the budget-friendly figure to the elaborate display-case centerpiece. Only the pink hair and the headphones stay constant, and that's enough as a recognition mark. For collectors, that means a motif that never runs dry, and a community that debates the best Sonico with a passion comparable to others arguing over football lineups. Details on size and manufacturer are listed on the respective product page.
