Summary
It’sSonic x Shadow Generationsweek and GameStop and Loungefly have teamed with Sega to kick things off in a very special way. Two new additions to Sonic’s Loungefly range unlike anything you’ve seen before. Inspired bySonic Adventure’s Chao Garden, the matching backpack and wallet have an image of a Chao on the front that changes depending on how you tilt them, and both are available to pre-order exclusively at GameStop.
The Chao Garden range takes inspiration from Sonic Adventure’s Chaos and the games that came before it on the Sega Genesis as the bulk of the backpack and wallet’s design is based on Green Hill Zone’s design in the very first Sonic game. As fun as it would have been for the items to be Sonic Adventure all over, it does make sense as even the most casual Sonic fan will see these items and know exactly what they’re about.
What sets this backpack and wallet set apart from all the other Sonic stuff Loungefly has created - includingthe very cool Shadow backpack it released earlier this year- is the lenticular effect on the front. That means even though only one of them is visible at any given time, there are actually three Chaos included in the design. You just can’t see them unless the backpack or wallet are tilted a certain way, or if you move around if you’re admiring the backpack while someone else wears it.

The Chao Garden backpack and wallet don’t come as a set, but both are available to pre-order now at GameStop through the links below and will be released on Jun 28, 2025. The backpack is $54.99, and the matching wallet costs $24.99, though you can get both for a little less if you’re a GameStop Pro member. The aforementioned Shadow backpack and matching wallet are also still available at GameStop.
Loungefly Sonic The Hedgehog Chao Garden Lenticular Mini Backpack
Loungefly’s Chao Garden Sonic backpack doesn’t just feature one Chao, but three. The lenticular patch on the front pocket means the Chao you can see changes depending on the angle at which you’re holding or looking at the backpack.
Loungefly Sonic The Hedgehog Chao Garden Lenticular Zip Around Wallet
Loungefly’s Sonic Chao Garden backpack has a matching wallet. It’s the exact same design as the backpack down to the lenticular effect on the front with a changing Chao image depending on the way you tilt the wallet.
you may expect to see a lot of both Sonic and Shadow this week as the release of Sonic x Shadow Generations is almost upon us. The game arrives on all major platforms on October 25, or if you’ve got the digital deluxe edition you will be able to start playing on October 22. It’s not too late to be one of the lucky few who starts playing three days early andyou can pre-order the game any time before October 25, even after after the early access period has already begun.
