I'm in shock! I didn't think this day would come but here it is, the statue has been completely repainted and his structural damage has
been repaired!
A huge thank you to whoever is responsible for this!

The Sonic statue couldn't have been saved without you man, give yourself a pat on the back for saving a hedgehog's life.
Yep.
Spot on!
This statue is like the insane Gravity Falls Hunt.
the mr cola show on cool stuff hmmmmm kinda
True, you played a big part in this!
So, L was real and the sonic statue has been restored. THE PROPHECIES HAVE BEEN FURFILLED
Well yes but actully no
Luigi was in sm64 but is not affilated with the fouintine
Lort Itachus Uchiha ehhh it was close enough. L is still real
And edds world is back
And Eddsworld is back. What's that about 2020 being bad?
Robocatssj3 and crudkip maybe herobrine might be found next?? That would truly be the icing on the cake
I've never been more hyped about a statue I'll never see
Same
Same
Never say never
@@kalpakoopayt4821 NANI?! You contradict yourself!!!
Same
We did it boys, broken Sonic statue is no more.
@Sonic Restored Statue ture
Sonic Restored Statue true
@Sonic Restored Statue true
Your comment implies its been destroyed
@@TrueSavage555 No, it implies that the statue's no longer broken. Not only that, if anyone reading this comment had actually watched the video, what it implies is irrelevant because you know exactly what I mean.
This is officially an epic gamer moment.
69 likes! Nice
I wanna discover that sonic!
Achievement gotten! Restore a Global Treasure!
Agreed
A request: In the next Sonic Livestream... It would be nice just to flood the comments with "We Saved Him!"
Edit: This has now been verified and confirmed! It's real! We did it!
This has been a great journey
A year and its happened
I am SO PROUD of this community
(hapieness noise)
Odd question but have u seen or heard of the puma rsx 3 x sonic shoes??
2020 is the worst year:
mr.kadera: hold my statue
Also l is real
*hold my nose
Nintendo:Hold my L is real
Ikr
2020 is a great year
The only thing that could be better than this, is if on the next sonic game; sonic himself does a similar pose to this with a snowboard as a nice nod to the fans, "Badnik Mechanic" and everyone who worked hard to see this restored!
or the second sonic movie
@@CAT-vd9vx *cut to a scene of movie sonic dashing past the statue and then returning to look at it*
*Sonic* : Hmm, not back but... they can never get my nose right!
*Sonic taps his finger on his nose*
*Sonic* : Nice board though. I wonder where I can get one?
*He thinks for a moment, shrugs and dashes off into the distance*
@@lPsychoMax lol
Happy birthday sonic!! 😎✌🏻🎧💻🎮
@Bunneer I actually drew it but I've yet to release it since I'm not entirely sure if the shadowing turned out well XD
I'm glad you like it though, I've been trying to get my own style for a while now and hearing someone liked it makes me feel i'm on the right path! ^^

Everyone: 2020 has no good moments
2020:
Nesstalgia yup
@@Nesstalgia also, the Henry Stickmim Collection
the sonic the hedgehog movie and the sequel announcement as well
**his nose**
The TWEWY anime announcement, which was pretty hype.
The sonic statue vids got me into your channel, I'm glad this story was given a happy conclusion.
hello my brotha
2020: Well maybe I don't want to be the bad guy anymore!
The Classic Sonic redemption arc has ended.
More like a Sonic _restoration_ arc, amirite?
...
Yea, I'll just throw myself out for that one.
The story of this statue has been absaloutly amazing! From the community finding out about it to locating it then sega talking about it and eventually to it being RESTORED! This journey has been amazing and just goes to show how powerful this community is. But, pretty much none of this would've been possible without you Dave. Thank you for shining a light on this topic. And like I said on Twitter he certainly has a badnik mechanic to thank.
Now, let's find some more statues! Can't wait for you to be back Dave! Keep going and take your time. We're all behind you👍
If this was in America someone would’ve destroyed the statue years ago
Especially in these current times
@@shnubdawg7730 I imagine it would go; reeeeeee blue hedgehogs are a white supremacy symbol
*smashes statue*
DR Death the wolf yup
@Richie999 another way i can see it going: "If you don't jack me off while I kill everything you love and make you watch you're the problem"
Thanks btw.
i live in brazil if this was placed here it was going to be destroyed in less than 2 weeks
It’s like a metaphor once in need of repair and now thanks to other sources it’s good again like sonic the hedgehog
basicalyl what happened to Sonic Mania thx to Christan Whitehead
@@Evilriku13
Or the Sonic movie.
inb4 Nick Robinson "so I booked a ticket to Japan"
Siana Gearz he would fucking do that.
At this point I wonder if he has a deal with a travel company or something like that.
To be honest its not all that difficult of a restoration, and i should know since my channel is mostly about restorations. the statue as it was needed some pressure washing and normal boat repair supplies for fibreglass would be easy to find for the restoration. however replacing the nose would probably take a day or two to get right. I suspect the statue was removed and taken to somebody's shop, people started hearing it was removed, and then they restored it and put it back. or, if somebody has a comfortable ladder it wouldnt be so hard to do it right there.
I do worry about how this restoration will last if they didnt sand correctly, but its still better than it was. i hope when they sealed the cracks they didnt lock any moisture inside. if i was restoring this i would put the statue in the attic of a workshop or something for a month to help drive out moisture before sealing it up.
It wasn't removed. It was restored in place. A 2nd image shows it being restored at the mountain side.
@@BadnikMechanic oh really? Can I see it?
@@BadnikMechanic link plsss
Keep in mind, the bottom of his feet were also open, so unless they closed that up, it should be fine
Keep that ego checked bro
The person who repaired the statue:
They called me a madman
chao from "chao in space" took his nose, sega got it back.
They need to go put that statue in a nearby museum or something so it doesn’t get all damaged again. Thanks for the repair!
They can't really do that since it's a historical landmark according to google
THAT’S AWESOME!.
And the restored sonic looks absolutely beautiful!.
The people who restored this did a really great job! :D
They may have fixed it, they have to get that statue in a museum soon before it rots away again. It's an indoor statue and it can't stay outside for long. If it stays outside too long it'll just rot away and get all gross, moldy and it'll just lose its paint again. There is no other guaranteed if they want to keep the statue clean.
SEGA NEEDS TO MAKE MINATURE VERSIONS OF THIS STATUE!
Politic to tell sega to make mini versions of it
Yes = Like this one
Vote no:
Like this one
@@playloose9602 that one person
I feel like this is symbolic of how Sonic is being restored albeit slowly, first with Sonic Mania reminding the fans why they loved Sonic to begin with, the new IDW comics doing very well and filling the hole Archie left us, and now the Sonic movie actually breaking the video game movie curse, this is just surreal and I love it:D
All is left is Finally Finish SATAM Season 3 with SEGA's Backing, & sign a Deal with Ken Penders so that We can see SEGA, like Hire him as The Kevin Fiege of Sonic.
@@conradojavier7547 And Underground. That shit was my childhood.
@@harchosmia pretty sure underground is continuing but in comics
Unless that's fan made but it's a thing called sonic universe (i think)
pretty good tbh
@@solarfiringtiger4254 thanks for letting me know. I'm telling ya, Sega needs to at least make a reference to Manic or Sonia in the games at some point.
@@harchosmia yep
A lot of miracles have happened during this pandemic. We did it guys, we saved a piece of Sonic history. Thanks a ton for the effort of the team who fixed the statue.
I’m so happy it’s been restored
I know this is a weird thing to bring up but it’s been brought into light that some props and costumes from Pokémon live (an old broadway style show created by 4kids during the high of the Pokémon craze) were found actually in an abandoned theater up in Canada and it reminded so much of the sonic statue so it gives me hope that since this was saved that those props could also possibly be saved one day if you need more info just watch chadtronics video about it
Yep, I've seen Chadtronic's video. It's very interesting. I just really wish I could wear the Mewtwo costume from the show. It looks so cool (and comfortable!)!
To think that Chris Chan is devaluing the fixing of the statue by saying it's an "artifact" that just "popped up in our dimension"
Explain
Yeah I looked up that tweet. A lot of people there are misinformed and don’t even know about the origins. Chris is notorious for taking credit it’s annoying.
I hate this person has the same name as me. -_-
Let’s just ignored him and enjoy this beautiful statue restore to all its glory.
Bruh it's restored. My friend gone there and this was true.
Really :0?
PLAESE TELL ME THIS IS TRUE!!!
I'm telling her right now and she didn't applied. So just on the safe side.
I'm gonna edit my comment to make sure if I'm wrong.
@@Karnage233 it's true, a 2nd image of the repaired sonic statue can be found on Google map
clawy raptor I KNOW!! I’m so happy!
0:49 *Me crying about how my Sonic Mania collectors edition Statue had its nose broken off*
The Good Future
Edit: I love how we’re praising this thing like a God.
alternate title: man obsesses over hedgehog getting a nose
XD
How else is Sonic suppose to use his danger sensing sneeze ability? He needs a nose!
*N O S E*
FINALLY, all of our work has paid of. I can now say something good came from 2020! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
ty, mysterious man
He can finally rest at peace since that he can smell again
Honestly, I'd say you are a great part of this. The original video is how I found your channel and its crazy to see this whole story come along. Hope all is well in your personal life
Your video on the Sonic Statue was the first video of yours that I ever saw and the fact that it has been fixed just makes me very happy!
“It's been a long, rough road and we’re finally here!”
I move an inch forward, feels like a year.
Sega "yeah! We'll save it for the fans and community!"
Nintendo: "give that shit back"
Proud to be apart of this whole journey and seeing it come to a good ending
I love how they fixed him and made him look incredible...
And then put him back outside where he can re-rot and degenerate back to his original state
They're not allowed to move it due to it being a historical landmark
@@pennyandsuch really? didn't they make it tho
@@T-1000- they didnt
Man, it feels like a dream! This is amazing. We've been trying for a year wow
oh my god...I remember i used to tell all my friends to spread the word on this statue about a year ago!
AND NOW ITS BACK!
I saw on Google maps that one of the supports failed and caused sonic to kinda tilt to one side. The statue wasn't damaged. He was given a new metal support structure.
This is truly a epic gamer move. I’m so glad to see my boy fixed. I’m so happy.
Back to it's former glory, at last!
Preserving a piece of gaming history like this so cathartic to see, ain't it? Exceptional restoration, indeed!
Also, for people who only seen this video, *YES. THIS IS REAL AND NOT A VERY WELL MADE HOAX.* The official SEGA Forever Twitter has quote tweeted the initial tweet and a picture that shows a person doing restoration work on the statue is on Twitter: twitter.com/yuuken81/status/1292265198938517507?s=19
Now we need to try and restore the SEGA Sydney Sonic and Sally statues next!
Kind of surprised there was no reference to Sonic's sneezing made in regards to him having his nose back at last. Looking into that from Sonic CD is what led me to this channel.
I'm so glad the effort to get the information about the statue and it's urgent need for maintenance paid off!
Sonic the hedgehog: Sweet!
Japan has repainted my statue, and look like my other good and not good games. ;)
Too sweet! :)
First "L is Real" actually becomes real, and now the Mysterious Sonic Statue gets restored?! I just need a really good Mario game and it'll be an Xtremely good year despite the certain disease.
Gamimg related stuff really help :)
I mean mario 3d All stars wasn't really good but it was still pretty good so close enough I guess?
i heard a rumor that the statue created life and got out of the tree.
I'd never thought i'd see the day that this statue would ever be restored. Finally after 2 years the story has come to an end!
Wow, 2020 is a good year for Sonic. A high-grossing movie to a beautiful statue restoration.
Yeah and don't forget the Olympic games mobile videogame
Huzzah, Sonic fans! The statue's been fixed. That means there's still hope that I'll be able to come see it someday 😄
Whoever fixed the statue, THANK YOU. You've made a lot of Sonic fans and gamers alike real happy 🎊
I want this statue in my house
I love following this story. One thing that has bothered me watching these, though, is I kinda want to see the statue posed and positioned at an angle the same way it is in the Sega world . I'm a bit nitpicky when it comes to things like that, but I just want to it the way the original artists intended it .... either way this is great news!
Great video. I saved the original link of the video that kicked this all off last year as it looked interesting. I decided to go through my notes and saw that link and spent all night watching the playlist. I was shocked to see it’s been restored and news broke today of all days! Awesome job!!

_Looking at you, Sonic 1 on the Game Gear_
Senior year trip, I’m going to Japan and seeing this
Sonic’s nose: fixed
The Sphinx: what about mine?
the part about the owner putting the statue there so people could find his house easier killed me 😂😂 the type of energy i want to have
We've come a long way guys, it was fun to be a part of the journey! 😊
They saved it YAAAY I’m not being sarcastic
Scrolling through YT, come across a video about Sonic game sounds and cash registers. About a minute in, I started to wonder what was going on with this statue. Super stoked to see that this finally got the care it needed, and it wouldn't have been possible without you!
The last surviving Old World Wonder, restored. Brings a tear to my eye.
Little reminder that Chris chan confirmed that this statue is indeed an artifact from C-197 that had made its way into this dimension over a decade ago.
I'm so happy that the people who did the right choice of restoring this statue back to it's former glory! Thank you for making this video! The statue look's so beautiful!
This news makes me happy. Your Sonic statue discovery was what got me to subscribed to your channel in the first place. Keep up the great work you do!
It's already been 6 months since the statue's been fixed... geez, time flies.
I would like to go to Japan one day and meet the legends at Nintendo, Sega and best of all to see the amazing sonic statue that will be a dream come true.
This is a miracle!
congratulations badnik and sonic. Give yourself a high five with a blue hedgehog!
I didn't know about this until someone mentioned it in a comment Chadtronic's video about the defunct Pokemon Live show, but knowing it's happened and having confirmation that this isn't just a really good photoshop fills me with so much joy and happiness.
Even without all of the horrible things that have been happening, this would have still been one of my favorite stories to come out of 2020.
Now the people gonna love this "new" statue
surprised they didnt give him green eyes
It’s Classic Sonic, he’s supposed to have black eyes
@@irishuisman1450 Yeah but like to, you know, make it look better for today's standards, they did that with one statue
@@Ultimatedogfan true, but Classic Sonic is still kinda relevant today with Mania and such, and let's be honest, the green eyes don't fit with Classic Sonic's model
Thank you to all people who contributed to helping to restore this magnificent statue!
This amazing statue cannot die. It may be old, but when fixed, it's amazing.
Basically: *A EPIC MOMENT OF SONIC HISTORY*
They, they did it
THIS WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY
Its a Corona miracle! The 1up jingle used hilariously btw
Wow. We can debate about whether or not the internet and social media have improved our lives, but stuff like this makes me happy that we have the technology to communicate instantly and share stories about weird stuff that we find in the wild like deteriorating Sonic statues. Not only because we get to a appreciate their mysterious nature and ponder their former glory, but also because the images of these old relics may be passed on to some hero with the ability to restore them.
I started doing Sonic Stop Motions now!
Cool!
Okay there is only one more question is the sonic in London still doing his homework
Yeah ... he is
Lol
*probably paperwork*
I had no idea this statue even existed but I’m glad it’s fixed.
Sonic Statue: OH MY GOD! I'm Gorgeous!
They save that it look ilke a abandon item
I for got to put if
i remember seeing your video on this a year ago and I'm glad it got some recognition. Finally the statue was restored!
It must be really satisfying for your videos and research to have physical, tangible effects in the real world. You got the attention of the local news, the heirs of the owner, and even SEGA! No one could have ever predicted these videos would get so big. Congratulations! Can you make a Sonic statue playlist on your channel please btw (EDIT: Oh, you already have one).
Note: I can say I was subscribed before you were popular (or I think I was at least).
I just want to let you know I really love your channel. I leave it on and listen while I work. I am a very quiet sonic fan and your news brings me such joys!!!
Thank you.
I really appreciate your support and kind words.
@@BadnikMechanic I appreciate you and your channel! I look forward to move videos to come. Please stay well. You make us smile :D
nice! it looks so cool and polished, its an amazing transformation!
(also i love how happy you sound, its adorable)
Fantastic!!! Massive thanks to everyone involved in this restoration
What a journey. I saw this on twitter earlier and im so happy its back together!

This makes me so happy!!! THANK YOU FOR COVERING THIS SO MUCH!!
You played a big part in this, thats way past cool Thanks man!
Straight up clicked on the notification once I saw it...I'm so happy!! Thank you to whoever made well needed repairs to our boy!!
omg this is so amazing!!! i was so worried the statue was gonna break sooner or later, but man oh man is it good to see the mountain sonic looking brand new.
I remember watching your video of the Sonic Statue about a year ago and it feels awesome to see the new one
Yess finally! I never thought that they would actually fix him!
This is sooooooo amazing. Thank you for bringing attention to this man, I’ve loved this series so much
A good moment for 2020. :)
Thanks person who restored the statue!
And thank YOU for informing us on this wonderful piece of Sonic and gaming history!
