Why didn't the comics incorporate this design? Idunno why but it's just better.

>That orange skirt on a primarily pink character
>Silhouette is literally just fem Sonic ala Minnie Mouse
Hahahahaha, no. Actually well designed and cute Amy coming through.
Parker Russell
That's not Boom Amy
Kevin Fisher
Unless you have a raging hard on for sports tape, you're not fooling anyone.
Isaiah Sanchez
It's a cute design though. So is that Amy, and Boom Amy. My main issue with new Sonic designs is just the giant hands and feet, prefer the cuter more rubber hose inspired 90s designs.
Anthony Roberts
I agree user, classic Amy is cute.
Yeah she's just pink sonic but soemtimes that's just enough.
Hudson Torres
How about putting Classic Amy in that outfit then.
Adrian Barnes
Agree with the hands, don't know why they had to make them so huge, were they not cartoony enough already? Just look at this shit
Henry Martin
Brody Howard
Because Classic Amy and Amy are now two different characters.
Ayden Kelly
Jeremiah Gutierrez
I believe that's meant to be Amy when she was younger, around 8. By age 12, she went for a new outfit of a red dress and started flashing her butt.
Gavin Cooper
Nah, Penders doesn't have shit on Amy.
Samuel Green
I would totally fuck her up the ass
Blake Barnes
If you're referring to Classic Amy's outfit in general, they did. Amy appearances prior to aging herself in the Sonic Adventure adaptation used the design. Amy's Moebius counterpart also used it. Post reboot, Mega Drive and the one-shot classic game adaptations also used it.
If you're talking about that specific outfit, I think it was created specifically for that short.
Michael Gonzalez
Because it's an ugly outfit?
Camden Evans
I'd prefer to fuck modern Amy in the ass. She's canonically older, flashes her ass more, and judging by Sonic X, her ass seems to be canonically big.
Ethan Cruz
No, part of reason Amy can't dress like this in the comics has to do with one of the mandates Penders put Archie and Sega under:
>Original Sega characters were to conform and stay conformed to their modern designs as of Sonic the Hedgehog #71. None were allowed to change or modify their existing wardrobe or wear any different wardrobe at all, regardless of the story context.
Michael Barnes
Aww, thread's dead.
Jayden Murphy
It's literally just Pink Sonic. Still adorable, though.
Grayson Fisher
Because that's Classic Amy, licensees to the Sonic brand have strict rules from Sega of Japan to keep Classic and Modern designs separated. So a Classic licensed product like Sonic Mania Adventures can use this version, but a modern-based product like the IDW comic can't.
Matthew Collins
Why did Amy take off her bottom to sunbathe, but not her top?
Jose Powell
How do you know she took off her bottom?
Daniel Myers
She's not wearing anything around her crotch?!
Eli Reyes
>Literally has almost no noticeable sports tape
At least use your eyes
Josiah Perry
How do you know? For all we know, she probably does have a bikini bottom under that towel.
Thomas Sanders
Yeah but now I want to know.
Jaxon Reed
Based on this comment I believe that she literally isn't wearing a bikini bottom, because her butt is too big to fit in one
Jaxon Murphy
Nolan Jenkins
I still don't like how Sega didn't give her toes.
Robert Murphy
>blob feet
NO
Dylan Lopez
Amy is my wife AND ONLY MINE, SHE'S MINE, MY AMY YOU HEAR ME, MY AMY
Jaxon Gutierrez
Your wife is a butt slut
Jace Hernandez
She belongs to Metal Sonic.
Dylan Gonzalez
Because the modern design is more than just a Sonic recolor.
Luke Allen
Blob feet are canon. Deal with it.
Levi Lopez
wait, did penders write the mandates or did sega? because i'm having a hard time figuring out if this was meant to intentionally fuck over the series or it's just a result of how out of touch sega is
Ethan Williams
Pretty sure it's Sega who set the design mandates, and Archie and Penders was forced to adapt them. That's why we got such weird explanations for them like Sonic running back through time and coming out bigger, Amy wishing on a Chaos Emerald and aging up, and alt-universe Robotnik getting a new robot body that just so happens to resemble his redesign.
Jonathan Johnson
Knuckles got it the worst, he looks absolutely fucking retarded.
William Gutierrez
They did. Unless your talking specifically about the winter outfit.
Matthew Phillips
Your wife is a horny hedgehog who has a canonically large butt that she flashes constantly.
Leo Green
Sauce?
Liam Lewis
garyc
Alexander Price
No
Nicholas Davis
She really shouldn't be removing her shoes at all.
Lincoln Hughes
Sega mandate to use whatever the current design of the games is.
Cameron Gonzalez
They could have just gone the route they took with Tails and just had him change looks.
Adam Murphy
Why the fuck would they, you moron?
Wyatt Walker
Because she's cuter?
Mason Nelson
She cute
Zachary Adams
Most of the problem with Sonic designs in general is that they are designed with function, not style in mind.
The big head, big feet, and big hands where emphasized so the player can have an easier indication of forward movement in 3D space. It's why Sonic's spines, arms and legs where so long in SA1.
And since the entire series with designed AROUND Sonic and his abilities, that means most characters have to match or meet HIS general proportions so their sprite can fit.
What sucks is that it means a lack of character shape variety and visual styles, cuz everyone has to be identified as a "Sonic Character"
Cameron Brooks
>Most of the problem with Sonic designs in general is that they are designed with function, not style in mind.
Imagine being so dumb you think this isn't stylized.
The large feet and hands are there because they wanted a Graffiti look for the characters, and exaggerated the Classic designs to the umpteenth degree. It's literally style over function.
John Stewart
Why did every Japanese woman on the 2000s have thar haircut? I kind of love it though.
Adam Perry
Lincoln Mitchell
Damn, why is this so good? People who dis this style from the comics are full of shit.
Ethan Cook
Fleetway Amy is the best version from any media.
Jose Collins
Ethan Rodriguez
That's a banal and asinine excuse. Emphasis on "ass".
Henry Lopez
That hairstyle is older than you think. Look up Miki Makimura
Luke Parker
>It took me till I played the classic games as a teenager to realize that modern Amy was a hedgehog too
Amy is in drastic need of a better design to show that she's a hedgehog too.
Cameron Murphy
Hopefully you're not suggesting that fucking mess.
Aaron Williams
Does that matter? The point of the argument is still the same.
