Polygon Man was the trash-talking mascot for the original PlayStation. Polygon Man was dropped before the launch of Sony’s first console and replaced by a series of popular game characters starting with Sofia from Battle Arena Toshinden. Polygon Man failed to capitalize on his short stint as the PlayStation mascot and fell on hard times. His subsequent employment history demonstrates the weak market for polygon-related marketing:
