The mini Shadow poster is a limited promotional offer provided by AMC Theatres. Although these posters display Shadow the Hedgehog in an exciting view, drawing attention to his pose and implications of his reflections on the world of Sonic, all the iconic representations they pay homage to are striking to some fans, such as even resembling the great Akira Slide scene, which makes it even more interesting.

Although the posters aren't official, full-size theatrical prints, they're a wonderful souvenir for fans and collectors. And since it's a very limited print run-only available to the patrons who attend the following select showings on December 20, there will only be a few copies out there.

One may be able to buy it online and ahead of time.

Some theaters have established a set number of free mini posters, generally 300, for the first registered ticket buyers who buy tickets. To increase the chances of receiving the poster, it is advised to get in a couple of hours before the movie starts.

When arriving at the theater on the date of release, ticket-holders should be able to collect the poster at the box office or from theatre staff before the screening of Transformers: One.
