Chocolate? Or pieces of Sonic's body? The age-old dilemma returns yet again this Christmas as customers are forced to choose between the two things that make the holidays such a special time. Or we guess you could just get both.

Yes, thanks to an ongoing partnership between Sega and Numskull Designs, this new advent calendar starring none other than the famous blue blur himself will soon be hitting the stores. As you open each of the calendar's 24 doors, you'll be greeted with a new piece of a Sonic statue, leaving you with a genuinely lovely looking figurine to display when Christmas finally rolls around.

Each piece can be clicked into place by hand, so there's no fiddly glue needed here, and it's available to pre-order as we speak. You can grab it at the following links: UK (£39.99), Europe (39,26€), and the US ($47.99).

A little bit more expensive than your usual advent calendar, then, but who can say no to that face?

Speaking of Sonic's face, oh dear...
