- Dive into gaming history! The iconic SEGA WORLD London Sonic Statue is making a comeback 🕹️
The statue was recovered by London-based company Proun and kept in storage. After years of gathering dust and losing an arm to fit through a doorway, we’ve recovered the statue and commissions the team at 13 Finger FX to restore it to its former glory. Have a look at the amazing results!
The statue now lives in our SEGA Europe HQ in London, but you can visit this beauty at our #gamescom booth this week, don’t miss out on the change to relive the magic 🎉

An out of this world statue! Great job restoring it!
Hi Wax!
Ahhh I see what you did there
I know
Hello Wax!!
Hey Wax nice to see you here
It’s so cool that sega restored this
I agree!
Could you imagine being a kid at Sega World in the 90's and seeing that statue, only to see if fully restored nearly 2 decades later? Crazy!
That's me... 😂 I went there in 99 when I was 7 I'm 31 now
More than 2 decades
yes that's me.... I'm 37......... I went to sega world mulitple times in the 90s it was my favourite place in london. I didn't realize it was so hard to imagine... it's making me feel old... A lot of people remember this statue as a kid lol
I'm calling it, this music will be used for Sonic superstars.
My Dad’s company did all of the display graphics for SEGAWORLD at the Trocadero when it first opened. I remember there were some really cool Sonic displays along the sides of the escalators. Why I didn’t ask for some to display in my bedroom I have no idea…
I wish there was another Sega World
Maybe they will do this cuz they made whos knows they could just make another one
Same buddy
@@Ethanhere1320easier said then done
@@Super1updudeIk it’s a hard job
There’s still one left, but it’s in Dubai. It goes by the name “Sega Republic.”
as the one who first discovered that statue's existence back in 2019 - thank you all so much for this restoration effort :')
Very cool!
Dude, that's awesome. How'd you find it?
Wowee
Wait you're the one who discovered it? Cool
@@isaiahcruz3260 some correspondence with a little architectural firm in london...
I love How SEGA is showing love to these old statues. Like they restored this Gem of lost media just like the Sonic statue in the mountains of Japan
I never been to Sega World before. But I’m glad Sega restored the Sonic statue.
i always love seeing old sonic statues getting restored, this was so cool!
Agreed
Why didn't they pin this!
The franchise has grown so fast 😯
I wish that we still had places like this today, the giant statue looks so awesome and needs to be preserved at all cost. Such an amazing piece of art.
That statue looks great. Nice work to the restoration team. The spinning globe is a nice touch too.
It will be amazing if they still had a sega world sign that is around that globe, but it sadly it does not have it anymore.
To be honest this is one of the best sonic statues that I’ve seen
@othabland9874 true
That gives so much nostalgia feeling
Amazing
Why is no one talking about this music
This is fire 🔥
It looks incredible, i defenedly gonna fly to Europe and take a photo with the classic sonic himself
Now we just need the Sonic and Sally statues to be rescued from that one guy's junk yard in Australia
Very unlikely they'll decide to touch that hot topic
@@ashesGeek what do you mean unlikely
@pikachuboyandfriendsofficial because Sega of Japan showed it loud and clear they don't care about Sally or any other character that didn't come out of their work, unfortunately. It's quite pointless to think they would care about this "junk" from Australia
@@ashesGeek but what about sega of America
It’s been growing awhile, it looks amazing!
This song is AWSOME! I hope this is in Sonic Superstars! THIS IS WHAT WE WANT SEGA!!
The fact that Sega actually restored it is just really cool. Thank you for doing this!
Argh SEGA World, what a place for a SEGA fan
That's awesome that the restored this! It looks so cool!
I didn't even know the SEGAWORLD Sonic statue was lost until now. They did an amazing job restoring it.
Welcome to your new home, Sonic! 🔵💨
Gotta go FAST! 😊
For a 90's statue this one look amazing. Very much on model.
Holy moly, it's back from the grave and now it looks as slick as ever! (🎶It's living in the apartment we know now it survived, it's gonna keep that dream alive!🎶)
Nice restoration
Sonic SEGAWORLD statue now has a new home now
Gotta restore fast!
Love to see this being restored, I still have the photo when I was a kid stood next to this when Segaworld was open!
Now to rescue the Sega World Sydney Sonic and Sally from that dude's backyard... That'll be 4 statue restorations then
HE LIVES AGAIN ❤❤❤
Im so glad its back and restored! thanks sega!
Awesome!!!
I am glad that Sega restored that Sonic Statue. But not entirely sure about the Sonic Statue that is in Australia that someone has in a junkyard just rotting away. Would like to see Sega get that one and repaired it if they could buy it from that person who has it.
It is in a junkyard? That is disappointing.
@@zacharyessey5904 Yeah I saw a video on RUclips. That the person who has the RUclips channel was trying to get it from the person who has a lot of stuff like a Junk yard. I do not know if he got it or not though.
@@KenSch2020 I hope that they were successful. Preservation of history should be taken seriously and considering that the statue is from a significant point in time of gaming history, it would be a shame for it to be treated as a piece of garbage.
@@zacharyessey5904 Well the last video I saw they couldn't get the guy that has the Sonic Statue to give it up and it is really in terrible shape. He would rather let it rot instead of selling the statue. It isn't only Sonic statue but has Sally Acorn statue with it and half of her body is missing which is terrible to see.
@@KenSch2020I don't get why they would do that though. At least if they took care of it I would say fair enough, but if they don't give a rat's bottom about it, it astounds me why they aren't interested in selling it. If they don't take care of it, the value will just keep depreciating.
SONICOOOO!!
It’s always fulfilling and hopeful to see a piece of history go from being broken and neglected to restored and given newfound purpose for the future. Never change, Sega. Thanks for sharing. 💙
The trocadero was such an amazing place as a kid, i miss it
I like how nobody is talking about the neat lil sega channel watermark. The fact sega put forth effort for this thing is excellent like omg.
Wait a second, that's the Sonic X-Treme model!
This restored model literally looks awesome
That's cool looks really close too early Japan sonic from the ads of sonic 1
Its like when they restored that sonic on the surf/skateboard in the mountains of japan or when they found the sonic and sally statue from sydney segaworld.
I might be hyper ventilating right now!
Now only a couple more statues to restore
Wonderful!!! 🤩😍 ...... a bit of nostalgia for the Arcade Halls of '90es ...😓
nearly screamed oh my god I can't believe you got this back
Beautiful
Man first sonic in the mountain now this yall are amazing
I need to know where that song is from 😂 🔥🔥😮💨
🎉🎉🎉🎉YEAH!!❤
Perfect. Welcome home, Sonic.
Sega themselves are diving into lost sonic statues now!
Yahoo! The Sonic statue is back at peace!
*Yo, the music though.*
I wish I could be there...
'Tis good to see the historic sculpture repaired and re-unveiled. But um, "don’t miss out on the _change_ to relive the magic"? Shouldn't the description say _chance_ rather than _change_ ?
Its always nice to see a restoration of a sonic statue
Im so happy they restored it
I'm one of the lucky people to have seen that statue when I visited sega world in the 90s. good times.
HES BEUTIFUL
This Sega World Arcade and Disney Quest was way ahead of his time I only can dream but I wish they would bring both of these Concepts back
Sonic is back to peak globe spinning conditions.
Shame that the Sega World Sydney statues are having a different story and are currently decaying in a practically unsalvageable state in a junkyard.
Sega need a museum for this
Another beautiful artifact acting as another column to bring back the Sega blue skies of yesteryear!
SEGA ti adoro, riporta in vita i tuoi magnifici brand con riproposizioni moderne di Out Run, Golden Axe, Wonder boy ❤❤❤
HELL YEAH BABYYYYY
HE HAS COME HOME!
The painting is phenomenal Sonic spikes remind me about American box art Sonic
Waiting for a new sega console after Dreamcast ❤❤
Actually sega Japan are planning to make sega Saturn mini console or sega dreamcast mini console, but they hadn't decided it yet.
Thumbnail looking like THAT FRAME from the original 2007 Hedgehog video frame CHILL💀💀💀💀💀
i hope one day they find the tts demo for sonic 1
Wowww
Badnik Mechanic would be so, so proud.
He’s hyperventilating according to his comment
YAY!!!!!
OMG He's handsome now! 🤩
So rad
Talk about hope across ages!
It's so cool ✨😎
Sega is the best game company
Nice! Sega showing some recognition to segaworld!
Ooh, is that a new Superstars track I hear in the background?
They saved the Best one
I love the statue! You guys did an amazing job on the restoration!
Yoo way past cool restoration! Would absolutely love to see another sega world open one day but who knows only time will tell!
Awesome!🎉
Great !
Now rebuild the sega world and take my money ^^
NO WAY!!! I saw badnik mechanics video on this thing but to see it restored is so cool!!!
Amazing
The coolest thing on earth
LET'S GOO!!!
Nice! Another Sonic Statue saved ;D
Thank You guys for restoring this. I just love restoration.
Make club sega great again
Don't use that slogan, Donald Trump has already caused enough problems when he tell his supporters to attack Capitol Hill. So make that "we want sega to be Club Sega again".
@@VictorGonzalez-xs9oc cry about it
@@RebelAlexander no, Donald Trump had threaten America by saying There Will Be Bloodbath in our country if he doesn't get elected as president. How is that supposed to help make America great again if all he does is threatening us Americans?
Awesome
LETS GO
I wish I lived in the 90s to see this in Segaworld.
That's a wonderful restoration!
This is heartfelt.
Amazing work guys! 😃👏
They should bring back saga world and SEGA thank y so much for doing this
