Here are the upcoming Stretch Goals

Hi Everyone!
I just wanted to pop on here and show you some mockups of the last two stretch goals. Once these two goals are funded, the remaining stretch goal(s) will be determined by YOU! I'll put up some backer-only polls and you get to vote on which game will become the next variant. I also have a possible idea for a cool N64 tv down the line!
Anyways, here are the two mockups. I'm really excited about them and hope we can get them made! We're just over $200 CAD from getting the Sonic one made! And from there, the Zelda buddy is only $300 CAD away!

The Speedy Buddy is also 2" tall, but a bit wider than the Original. I just used a more zoomed in picture for the mockup!

The Hyaah! Buddy will be on the same pin as the Original buddy, but the screen print for the TV screen and game cartridge will be different. That's why I call this one a variant. I'd like to do another variant as the following stretch goal. There are SO many good SNES games to choose from - some Final Fantasy titles, Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, etc!
Thank you all so much for following along, I really appreciate it!

Hi everyone,
Thank you all SO much for helping to make this pin come to life. I can't wait to see how it turns out!
Next up, let's see if we can unlock the cute little Gameboy Color.. erm "GameBuddy" design. And, now that we've unlocked the initial goal, I can finally reveal what the next stretch goal looks like!

I'm super excited for this one because Sonic the Hedgehog was actually my first ever video game growing up. My uncle gave my brother and me his old Sega Genesis and some old games and we fell in love immediately. 
I wanted to do this game with a different TV because Sonic always seemed like the cooler, edgier character compared to cute pudgy Mario. So a cool, aloof pose and more modern tv design were what we went with!
I hope you like it and that we can get it funded, too!
Thanks again, and please consider sharing it on your socials!
