Playstation had an official mascot early on called Polygon Man (a talking head made up of... polygons). I can't find any pictures, but I have a pin from the very first E3 where the PS was unveiled. Soon after release they realized how lame Polygon Man was and started using Sofia from Battle Arena Toshinden. Early TV ads had Sofia cracking her whip, wearing leather, etc. It did good to show that the PS wasn't a kids toy.

Re: Amiga's mascot. I always thought the boing ball was the mascot.
