We continue our Sonic Boomers series by speaking to one of the first Sonic cosplayers I ever saw on the internet, Sonic The Cosplayer.

Sonic the Cosplayer has built an impressive following through his unique and creative brand of cosplay-ception. Ever wondered what Sonic would do if he was into cosplay, this guy has your curiosity covered.

We discuss the first Sonic games that made us go "Ok I'm into this franchise", the first cosplay he ever created and also reflect on how the internet has evolved around it all.
