Seeking ESP STH-130, ESP SN-25TH (or ESP SONIC-II), & ESP SD-15TH (or ESP SHADOW-II) Sonic the Hedgehog Guitars

[Emperor Guillotine]

DESCRIPTION:
I am launching an online search for these commemorative guitars.

• ESP STH-130: the Sonic the Hedgehog 20th Anniversary model from 2011
  (Based on Jun Senoue's trademark custom GL.)
  
  
• ESP SN-25TH: the Sonic the Hedgehog 25th Anniversary model from 2017
  (Alternatively, I'd also be interested in the higher-dollar ESP SONIC-II, which is the custom order version of the ESP SN-25TH, but I doubt I'll find one secondhand since less than a handful were made and sold.)
  
  
• ESP SD-15TH: the Shadow the Hedgehog 15th Anniversary model from 2017
  (Alternatively, I'd also be interested in the higher-dollar ESP SHADOW-II, which is the custom order version of the ESP SD-15TH, but I doubt I'll find one secondhand since less than a handful were made and sold.)

If anyone does not own one of these guitars but is able to link me up with a lead that results in me successfully purchasing one of these guitars (whichever model), then I'd be willing to offer you a "finder's fee" in exchange for your time.

PRICE:
Totally negotiable.

LOCATION:
I'm in New York City, and I'd be willing to work with you on all shipping concerns.

Won’t ESP custom shop make one for you? I thought they were willing to make anything?

This is a mult-part answer.

1.) I'd prefer the lower-priced production models (the ones without the "shoe" headstock) over a custom build that would run $6K minimum with a year-long wait because ESP's custom shop in Japan is wild.

2.) These guitars were all released in small, brief, low-numbered, singular runs for respective anniversaries of Sonic. (20th anniversary in 2011, and 25th anniversary in 2017.) ESP isn't making anymore.

3.) Even if ESP were to offer to "make anything", there is the copyright issue in this case since Sonic is a SEGA property and the company's mascot. Years later now, SEGA isn't going to provide the necessary clearance.

Drum City Guitar Land had the LTD Sonic until fairly recently - it's not on their new website, but that thing is a disaster so it might be worth an email..

Really? I never saw it in months of watching. I recall seeing the ESP custom order version but not the LTD version.

What do you mean "a disaster"? Feel free to PM me.
