Console Heroes Debuts in Canada This August, U.S. Retailers in September
MONTREAL, Sept. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Console Heroes, a new collectibles brand celebrating the golden age of gaming, has teamed up with SEGA of America to launch The SEGA Circular Challenge, a throwback campaign that channels the pure joy of being a 90s kid: flipping through a flyer, circling your dream game, and begging your parents for it.
This time, the answer is "yes."
Running September 12–14, 2025, the campaign invites fans to download and "clip" a retro-inspired SEGA flyer — The SEGA Circular — and redeem it at participating retro game stores across the U.S. for one free Console Heroes collectible. These collectibles are miniature dioramas that are hidden inside replica Genesis game cartridges, each one opening up to reveal a 3D scene from legendary SEGA titles such as Sonic the Hedgehog™ 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Altered Beast™, and more. While supplies last, one per customer.
"It's more than a giveaway — it's a shared memory brought to life," said Andrew Yanofsky, co-founder of Console Heroes. "We wanted to bring back that specific moment — when you saw a deal in a flyer, brought it to your parents, and made your case. Now, instead of 'maybe for Christmas,' fans actually get the thing. For free."
The campaign marks the launch of Console Heroes in physical retail, with Wave 1 hitting Walmart Canada in August and Target and Amazon in the U.S. later this September.
