Print advertising
Three US magazine-ad pages and a separate UK magazine advert survive in community archives. Their source publications still need fuller identification.
Advertising archiveThings You
Could Hold
Not every part of the 2005 campaign lived in magazines or on a screen. SEGA distributed event giveaways, collaboration clothing, preorder material and other physical promotion. This catalog separates documented objects from things Shadorux has actually acquired.
01
Sonic / Shadow World Hobby Fair fan
At the 22nd Next Generation World Hobby Fair at Makuhari Messe on June 25–26, 2005, SEGA made Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic Gems Collection and Sonic Rush playable. Sonic Channel states that attendees who played received a Sonic/Shadow hand fan.
This is one of the strongest physical-object leads because its distribution is documented directly by SEGA, with a specific event and date.

m-flo × Shadow collaboration T-shirt
Sonic Channel's campaign trail records a launch-period giveaway connected to the m-flo collaboration. A later GAME Watch prize page documents a yellow collaboration shirt, giving the campaign a surviving record beyond the original announcement trail.
The shirt belongs with the broader m-flo LOVES SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG campaign: the October shoot, TRIPOD BABY remix, CG promotional video and television advertising.

SEGA Direct preorder bonus
The official-site chronology records a SEGA Direct preorder-with-bonus announcement on October 21, 2005.
The current Shadorux research does not establish exactly what that bonus was. Until an original campaign page, reliable photograph, archived store listing or equivalent source is located, the object stays unresolved rather than being guessed from later listings.

Magazine poster
The May 2005 Nintendo Official Magazine set includes a documented two-part poster alongside its feature and interview material.
Magazine archivePancrase event material
Shadow branding appeared around the Minoru Suzuki / Pancrase collaboration and Korakuen Hall appearance. Surviving first-party event photographs can guide a later object-by-object search for signage, handouts or venue material, but those objects are not yet individually established.
Japan promotion & eventsARTIMAGE NIGHT material
SEGA's December 15 launch-day promotion invited 25 pairs / 50 readers. Physical invitation or venue ephemera would be valuable finds, but the present evidence only establishes the event promotion—not specific surviving objects.
Event historyWanted for preservation
For an object to move from a lead into the Shadorux artifact catalog, we want photographs and provenance, not merely a marketplace title.
- Front and back photographs, including packaging or inserts.
- Dimensions and material.
- Event, retailer or campaign where it was distributed.
- Distribution date or best-supported date range.
- Printed copyright / manufacturer / campaign markings.
- Source history and present holder when known.
- Distinct regional or production variants.

These documented physical campaign objects are research targets. Shadorux is not claiming possession of the WHF fan, collaboration shirt, or unresolved SEGA Direct bonus.
